October Skies

Friday was a day of such gorgeous skies from beginning to end. The rising sun outside my bedroom window

And that evening held this glorious rainbow

It ended with twinkling stars and wispy clouds and a perfect moon. Alas, I am not skilled enough to take a picture that would do it any kind of justice at all so...

Sunflowers

This is one of the sunflowers from the arrangements I made for a recent wedding reception. It was held in a local park, the weather was perfect and a good time was had by all. I tried to capture some of the beauty of these glorious flowers in this bracelet -

It's My Etsyversary

Today marks one year on Etsy. Use Coupon Code  ETSYVERSARY  to get 20% off through the weekend 

Doesn't really seem like it's been a whole year. I've sure learned a lot and on the whole it's been a great experience. I'm about to go back to work full time in the accounting world so we'll see how well I can keep up with the shop. I didn't really feel like there were enough hours in the day before so I think I'm justifiably concerned. I know I'll need the creative outlet even more than ever. So -  Wish me luck :)

Autumn on the Palouse

I have a hard time letting go of summer but the beauty of fall around here is undeniable. These scenes will be the inspiration for several upcoming pieces :)

Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries

This is probably the most impressive thing in my yard right now. Quite the cherry harvest :)

And so of course...

Front Page Treasury

I woke up this morning to find that one of the treasuries I created was on the front page of Etsy at 5:00 a.m. Pacific Time. I'm pretty thrilled even though I didn't get to see it happen

Inspiration

It's finally summer here and I've been enjoying my yard and flowers. Just thought I'd share what inspired my day #20 piece for the 30 Days challenge. I love it when the little purple flowers in between the flagstones bloom. 

The colors inspired this bracelet - 

Thirty Days of Creativity Challenge

I haven't quite missed a day yet but there have been some close calls and sometimes it just comes down to trying to get a photo before it gets dark. Then of course there is the sizing and editing, not to mention actually posting of said photo. Did there used to be more hours in a day? Or maybe more minutes in an hour? I'm sure the minutes were at least longer than they are now...

It's My Birthday

Thank you so much to DreamVersion for creating this wonderful Happy Birthday Treasury!
