Concrete, Silver & Rock

Weekends are so amazing...started Thursday eating asprin, headache that just wouldn't quit, but when aspin kicks in watch out! I meet a dear friend at Meade's Cafe and was able to wear a new peice in natural brass.
Then was able to spend some time on Saturday with my hands in silver metal clay! Made a few pendants too.
I would love to be able to do more of this, but it might require winning the lottery! Look for handmade silver pendants in some peices. I will certainly do this again!

Spent a few hours listening to my all time favorite musician at Wheat State Pizza.


Sunday I woke up with such a throbbing headache I could hardly look out the window with the sun shining, but again after a few asprin...I decided to take a stab at painting one of the concrete leaves we made a few weeks ago.

You can't see the colors well in this lighting, but you can tell it looks great on lace - and it is now filled with candy and accepting guests at Grandma & Grandpa's house. I will be making more of these - too much fun!

It rained Monday morning, normally not a good way to start a week, but this rain made my headache go away and left us this at 7am!

A Day in Derby

Spent a great day today shopping in Derby, KS with my better half! Recently Derby had 2 new business's open; 'Down Home Sweets' a neat place to hang out with your mates and have some pie, cookies or cake. And 'A Little Bit of Briton' a cool little British grocery store. We spent quite a while in there today! Brought back some great memories of our time in England! Do love those Brits!!!

Stealing a little Time

It was supposed to be a jam packed night, but...I am stealing myself a few hours alone. I ought to go to Dad & Kate's house.


I am sure Jim & Carl can handle mowing without my supervision just this once. I intend to make some chain!
