...deeeep breath...

People have started to mow their lawns!

Now, if it would just warm up enough so that I could open some windows and let some of that fresh air indoors and rid the house (and my soul) of these Winter cob-webs!!

 Saling has still been slow, or maybe 'stuff karma' is just off-kilter ~ whatever!  What it all amounts to is that

 I.just.haven't.been.into.it!

 

I have started exploring a new outlet for some of my energies...

Something that has been sitting on my Bucket List for quite awhile...

JEWELRY: WIRE WRAPPING

in particular - 'Sea Glass Wire Wrapping'.

 

I found a good on-line tutorial, and FINALLY sat down with it the other night.  Very few supplies were needed - all things that I already had in my 'stash', that have been picked up from sales.  It took a few starts, but after a short time (the very first evening!) I had this:

 

I am hooked!!  I need lots of practice, but it is so much fun. I want to try different patterns! different types of wire - brass! copper!  Oh, the possibilities are endless with the overflowing supply I have of my beloved seaglass!

  

(Confession: I then went to Michael's, with 55% off coupon in hand, and bought wire. THAT store goes against almost every grain of my being... but I did it.)

Next night: Copper wire on rootbeer seaglass w/ swirl practice.

 

VERA 2012 #12

 I did make it to a few sales this morning, but all that I could muster the excitement for was one VERA tea towel. That is still a good morning in my book!

Now, I'm going to go dream up some more wire wraps...
SWEET DREAMS!
