A Birthday Sweater...

There is nothing like getting something homemade!!! My mom has always blessed me with amazing homemade sweaters... and I could never ask for anything more... They are perfect... the work/time that goes into them means more then anything to me!!! A fisherman's wool and inish pattern... which reminds me of a sweater mama bear brought me back from Ireland...
My mom made this sweater to perfection, it fits perfect , warm and i love it more then words can ever describe...

From Old to New...

It has become an obsession and I may have to take a picture of the treasures I have...

The earrings I am wearing today are I little up cycled... They were clip-ons that I loved... However, the more I wear clip-ons... the more I wonder it that is why "older" women had very long/big ear lobes... Every time I take a pair of heavy clip-on earrings off... I inspect my ear lobe as if it grew or stretched... it freaks me out... SO, i have decided to make the clip-ons I can work with to usable pierced earrings... which I am using things i have around the tote of jewerly i have... these earings i used an old bracelet i wasn't going to use for the loops to attach them to the earring hook... I am having a lot of fun doing this i just wish i had a little more time to play around with ideas... Some day...

From Fire Pit TO Flower Pot

Chiminea Fire Pit

 
 
Our "old" fire pit cracked and they top was perfect...
I hated the thought of throwing away something that...
Could be used another way...
So I stuck it in front of the house and stuck...
the mums we have been re-growing for YEARS...
SO they are a little skimpy...
but it works that is all that matters...
 
from a fire pot to a flower pot

A Tiny Little Obsession...

Norma Jean...

The pick of the day...
When I picked them this morning I wasn’t sure if I was even going to “like” them…
They looked too big and once again I thought to myself they aren’t me…
I have a new/used black dress from S.L. and also a grey stripped sparkly sweater she gave me a while ago…
With black tights and grey flat shoes…
I was ready for work…
My choices were a necklace or earrings…
I am learning…
Nice statement necklace…
Or earrings…
One or the other…
I was going to thumb through the tote of beaded necklaces I have…
or the others I have around the house…
however, today I went right for the earrings…
I have 4 glass “jars” or whatever…
Old candle holders…
Full of
Screw backs
Clip ons
And regular pierced ears….
I first grabbed the princess looking ones…
Fake diamonds…
Cute…
But not what I was looking for…
Then it hit me…
The pair I wasn’t sure about…
Easy to put on…
Just two clips away…
And I love them…
Many compliments about the earrings… I wasn’t sure about at all…
and poof from sitting in the glass container to ears…
and then there was love J

I think everyday…
I am going to pick a necklace or earrings or bracelets and take a photo and write about it…
I am thinking I have the perfect earring to pick
Or I will pick some just to write about…
