Happy Holidays

I finally have a chance to take a breather and wish everyone Happy Holidays! This has been a crazy but wonderful year with me becoming part of The Vintage Pearl family which I absolutely LOVE and creating new items for my own shop. Looking forward to the New Year!







One of the fun perks at work was our Christmas party- afterwords we got to make pieces and I had been wanting to make a cuff with this saying.





This is my last gift from my secret sister- I screamed like a 5 year old because I love Chickens!!
Thanks Andrea- you were an awesome secret sister all the way!!!




One of my new projects was to move forward with spoon bracelets etc.. I have done them previously but wanted to learn more and get it down to a science- which I have! I made this for my neighbor who loves to garden. This can be a little marker in her herb garden.
It says *Keep Calm and Garden On..* stamped into a flattened spoon from 1910.

Chicken vs Dog

We had a nice little treat for dinner of T bones,crab legs, and lobster tails. Homer sat so patiently waiting for his cut! I threw the t bone out the back door thinking the chickens were all in bed but noooooo they were not and they were quite interested in the bone as well.

A few girls ventured up to Homer to check out the grubb but he picked up the bone and ran off. About 3 minutes later I decided to check on him and went outside. He didn't have the bone and seemed to be looking for it and the chickens were running around as well.

Doing a quick count I realized Cowgirl was missing and I spotted her clear on the other side of the yard backed up into the corner. As I approached her with 5 chickens and a dog tailing me I saw that she had commandeered the missing bone. She must have snatched it away from Homer!

I got the bone back and brought Homer inside with it. I gave it to him and he promptly disappeared. I found him under the Christmas tree making sure no one would find him or his bone.
