well, we moved out last November - almost been a year. Still getting ourselves situated - Denver graduated now, Cody a senior and Hannah is now an exchange student. And, we may be moving again - hopefully this time to a house. Now I remember why I didn't like to live in apartments. Upstairs Heffalumps - so loud - then there is the downstairs hillbilly freaks that recently set their patio on fire from a cigarette butt that was not put out.
So, Lots of new people here and I hope to get reconnecte…

Again, been out of touch for a bit. Have been working on my relationship with my partner of almost 5 years. We have it mostly figured out and are going better than ever - then all of a sudden his youngest son (15 years old) dies on May 5th. It still does not seem real but judging by the fact that not only did I see him in the hospital (my brain tells me he was just sleeping) but that I don't hear him walking around the house, arguing with his dad or anything that resembles him - he is gone.When…

I got up this morning and was checking out my emails and found that one person bought all the jewelry off my website??
Can you believe it? I may have to quit my day job.

Wow! We are close to breaking our Portland record of snowfall - This has crippled the city and left thousands without power. Thankfully mine is still working. This is week 2 of our Snow and Ice storm. As you can see, my car is buried under a few feet of snow. The last time I drove…

So, I won the drawing a few months ago and am just getting around to making some purchases. Here is a link to my first one:
Can't wait to set it up in my new place! I still have some money left so hope to get back soon and buy more items. Remember to buy from our salesroom this holiday season. Let's support our members!
Good work everyone.

Yes, even in my own life. Since the move I have found it difficult to connect with "me". I stay up late, sleep late and feel the dredges of depression taking hold again. It has been years, but I know the signs.
Why am I depressed? I am healthy, have my 3 beautiful children, a nice place to live and a good job. I still see my SO just not every day. The stress of his kids is gone. so, whatsup?????
I keep telling myself that tomorrow I will finish cleaning up the house, unpack the boxes, etc. but…

This is my front room with my kitty Anjin looking at us. I know I have been so absent lately. Bad girl! Over the past 2 months I have started a new job, moved and my whole life has changed. My jewelry is packed inside a little storage unit off of my patio. I still have many box…

Okay, so I have been absent for some time now. This is due to the fact that I got a full time job and then on top of that - I have been diligently hunting for a new place for my kids and I to live. We finally found a place and We sign papers today. I say we because my oldest son is 18 and that makes him an adult so he gets to sign the lease also.
Bear with me and give a a few weeks to get my feet underneath me and I'll be back with a vengeance. I do plan to order from the Salesroom from my winn…

So after the cool win here at the Cafe' I got a call from the temp agency to work a short term job for a high end furniture company. They are a really nice group of men - but need their whole "office" set up. They really don't have anything set up yet. Yesterday I spend my day logging and filing all of the 2008 completed files.
I go back today and see what is next. Looking forward to it! catch up later this weekend!

You all know by my last blog that I spent the first part of September rock hounding. It has been nothing but trials and struggles since then. Suffice it to say that the internal strife has cut down on my creative mental state and I'm not very happy about it.
I have been str…

The trip was hot and dry - we dug in hard clay and prized all of the rock we obtained! Finding an existing hole to dig in is recommended as you don't know where to dig most of the time and then when you do, you have to dig down far to reach the rock.

Hannah went up to stay with my sister and my mom for a month and a half this summer. That is where I came from at the end of August. I just flew back with her on the 28th - she is so tall and pretty.
My sis is on the right (tiny thing!) and our cousin is on the left. They met…

I have twelve bags to design at the moment. Here are three of them. I put a stone in each bag prior to shipping and each is unique. My good friend makes the bags for me - out of my grandmother's thread. Yes, she is the one I named my business after. I really do need to learn to croch…

Well - I learned two things - not to be inside at a fair and to be the one in charge of the booth. Oh, maybe one other thing: sharing a booth is NOT cool! Phew what a whole lotta work. I decided to not show on Sunday but my booth partner did and she sold another $79.00 fo…

Pictures to come later tonight - left my camera in my car - but for now let me tell you the fair was a bust! I sold 1 pair of earrings and could hardly bribe people to buy a raffle ticket at .50 or 3 for $1.00 to win a hand knotted freshwater pearl necklace and earrings set (in 14 kt gf). an $84.00 value. What's up with that? I thought pearls were classic?
So I guess now I am going to give people 3 choices. I'll throw in Island Sunset:
