Life is too Short...

Three Beautiful Things This Week

Three Beautiful Things This Week was inspired by a wonderful blog that Three Beautiful Things. Everyday, Clare writes about 3 Beautiful Things that happen each day in her life. It's a wonderful blog! I can only hope to imitate her in a very small way.


1) With any luck, last night's cold is the last frigid, bitter cold night of the year!


2)  The yogurt turned out delicious!

3) Clay time this weekend!

30 Word Thursday:: Snow Day

It was a snow day, yesterday.

The snow fell fast and full.

Flakes of great beauty for all to see.

Perfectly formed crystals,

frozen in time.

 the cycle of life.

Treasures Found:: Inspiration is Everywhere

 

 

The premise of 30 Words Thursdays is simple...

Take an image (preferably one you shot, or have permission to use).

Write 30 Words about it. No more. No less.

Post it each Thursday.

Add your link to the InLinkz on my 30 Words Thursday post.

(InLinkz code will be open for one week.)

Enjoy seeing the verse and vision others have captured by visiting them and leaving a comment.

Some days you just get lucky...

And 

you win an auction for beads that

Juli Cannon

made!

Then,

when it arrives at your house,

you smile even more!

I.LOVE.IT!

 Soon,

it will be a necklace!

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I got so excited with the package that came in the mail today....

Don't tell anyone!  I'm giving you a sneak peek.  I joined a polymer clay exchange on Facebook.  The object of the exchange is Birdhouses.

Now, I'm not a fan of the type of exchange where you are assigned a partner, and the two of you make the exchange.  I have been burned more times with this type of exchange than I care to tell. 

I don't know why I did it, but I joined. 

I met a very lovely woman who is self taught and has only been claying around for 2 years.  I was impressed.  We exchanged information and proceeded to make our birdhouses.    I only wish the photo did the birdhouse justice

Loretta told me that in the south, gourds make wonderful birdhouses.  She made this big and beautiful birdhouse for me.  I haven't show it yet on Facebook.  The reveal is next month.  I can hardly wait to share it with the others in the group.  I'm not sure how I'm going to string this.  I might just make some "spring type" beads to go on a strand.  Or, I might just leave the birdhouse alone to shine. 

I love it!!!  Thank you, Loretta!!!
