Some interesting things around here

Thy sky has been amazing between rains.
I love fall, the light changes here. It is very subtle to most people. Even the ones that live here.
I see the small changes that are this area's signs of season changing.

This to me is a perfect southern California fall sky. It sparkles with clean.
We have even had rain and are expecting more this week and colder weather this year.
I also had a cactus bloom over the last couple of weeks, it is probably confused.

It looks almost female, doesn't it? It is the cactus goddess.

And these are just because I love the way these pics turned out.

A gaggle of Greenmen Brooches.

Have a great week my friends, get to work on your Christmas presents, now, if you haven't already.
Be thankful for everything.
Heard this on one of Oprah's shows.
Thought for the day??
"Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could be any different"

Some new stuff

The post was titled Happy Monday, I missed that ;-D Madi has a cold and I am coming down with it I guess. I keep thinking to myself "boy is her resistance going to be good". Mine too?? I thought it was.
I have been working away though.
I am so glad that you liked Heart of America. Donna and I loved that you did.
I have another one
Heart of America 2 Salt of the Earth

I love this one too! The turquoise one is so wonderful but this one has more of a subtle beauty to it.

I also came up with this over the weekend.
There is much ado about the royal wedding  and I guess I have been bitten by the bug too.
I am also watch a series on TV called the "Game of Thrones" I am intrigued with it, so I guess this was brewing below the surface.

The Royal Wedding Marie

I named it Marie because it is the first and I really am in love with it and there was a queen named Marie.


I also have some Dead flowers ;-D
I really like these too and they were fun, I like fun.

Dead Flowers Brooch 2 Pretty peach

These are tie tack pins or brooches and they have a little crystal drop hanging from the filigree in the background.
Sweet little skulls peek out from the center of the rose.
I also made some more of the Small Steampunk hearts.
I love making these and they seems to be a favorite in my shop. It is funny how they all come out different every time.
I did 6 of these this weekend, but I only have 3 in the shop.
I had the hardest time getting them photographed though, the sun was hidden most of the time and the battery in my camera pooped out too. I don't know about you but I love my camera and not having it is scary. I have another battery but I put it in my camera and got the same error message, I did have a melt down for a minute, but I charged it all the way and it worked, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Steampunk Heart 9

I had a great weekend and I was supposed to be working on something else. I had a hard time trying to stay focused on what I was supposed to be doing.
I hope you all are having a great week
