Playing

I haven't felt much like getting out today, didn't even go to the farmers market today!

So I just played some more with the hipstamatic app on my iPhone taking photos around the house.





I wonder how much longer these flowers will be around..... Today was just a perfect weather kind of day



Have a great weekend my friends!

Hipstamatic

Playing a bit with the hipstamatic app on my iPhone that Kathy D turned me on to.... if you have an iPhone buy this app and get the other lens and film! It is so much fun to play with.

If you look close there is an eagle in the top of the tree.



Today was a rough day but I am sure tomorrow will be better!

Hands

This week will be about hands..... tomorrow I am going in for some hand surgery. I am having thumb arthroplasty and carpal tunnel surgery done on my left hand. Basically they are going to remove one of the bones in my thumb and replace it with some tendons from my forearm... then do the carpal tunnel while they are there.... So for now I probably won't have many bead or jewelry photos but do plan on getting out and taking lots of photos!

Will keep you posted on how it's going......

Playing with leather

A friend came over today and we played in the studio. I saw a charm in the sundance catalog this week that said "live the life you love". I truly believe in this saying and decided that I would make a bracelet today using it.

First I made my charms...

Riveted some jump rings on the ends of some leather that I had cut out... laid out the charms to get my spacing just right..

And the finished bracelet.... I have so many other ideas running through my head. I am looking forward to a few more days of playing in my studio before my hand surgery.
