birthday jewelry
I finally got around to taking photos of the other two pieces of jewelry that I bought myself for my fortieth birthday.
This is my “garden” ring, by For the Cross Jewelry…
Isn’t it so gorgeous? Of course the photo doesn’t do it justice. I love all the details. I chose this ring because to me it represents new life and new beginnings. And it’s really sparkly.
And this is Paris Perfection, by Jealous Cat….
Lovely as well. There is a ribbon too that ties the ends together. I chose this necklace to represent my dreams of going to Paris (and the rest of France) one day, but also to represent dreams in general. And possibilities.
The necklace came in this beautiful box:
I love when items are presented beautifully. And I just adore polka dots!

So what have I been working on lately? I have a new Artbeads project going, which I pray I finish this weekend! Hopefully it will turn out pretty cool.
I am also working on something for Somerset Life’s challenge, “the magic of paper bags” – what can you do to make an ordinary brown paper lunch bag into something spectacular? I was intrigued when I first saw the challenge, but decided not to do it because I didn’t have time (the due date is May 15th). Or an idea. Then I got an idea, and am making the time.
And of course there is my poor Polyshrink projects, which constantly get pushed aside for other projects. I simply must get those finished. I am tired of them taking up space on my work table, taunting me, “when are you going to finish us, when are you going to finish us? it’s been a year!” Poor things!
