Everything's Coming Up Roses

Seattle gray skies are getting me down lately and I yearn to see flowers bloom. Until then, I've made a few of my own with these new items. A ring and a pair of earrings with rosettes, chalcedony and lavender cz's. They match the brooch I made last week. Someday the rains will stop, the sun will appear and flowers will bloom again... at least I can dream.

Happy 80th Birthday!

This weekend marks my mother-in-laws' 80th birthday! She's spry, still goes bowling twice per week and she's having a birthday bash this weekend. Sadly, I won't be able to go to MN to help her celebrate. Today I made this glowing (like she is) moonstone pendant for her. I'll put it in the mail tomorrow so she'll be able to open it on her birthday. I'm not worried about spoiling her surprise gift by showing it to you early - she doesn't "do" computers.

Eighty is wonderful!
