Photo Update



Finally finished the second pair of the vine earrings. I'd been sketching these babies for about a month and never even attempted to make them. Lots of trial and error and here they are!


Look who grew a lot bigger! Also, the mystery is solved: the middle plants ARE morning glories! Who knew? :)


...Ta da! Here is a middle photo of the business nook transformation. It's coming along nicely, remember how terrible it looked before? Just a bit more elbow grease and it should be finished.

and actually, I sort of tore up my whole studio and had an extreme home makeover moment. I'm super happy with how it is turning out. I was subsisting on coffee and bananas that week and just wanted to move some furniture. I'll have to post some photos after the dust settles. It's looks verrrry different than before. In a good way.

I thought these chains were pretty. 


Plus, Loch Raven was a wonderful show like always! After coming off the 5 day Home and Garden show I appreciate the one day shows immensely more. It was lovely to see you all and I even had some surprise visitors too! You know who you are :) Thank you all so much for making last weekend a blast!

Ooo one last note: I got a Swiffer for my birthday from my Mom and I'm so excited to Swif today! (and make banana bread from these really old bananas that have been on the counter!)

Growing Fast!



Wow! Must be the steam from the sink because the lettuce and flowers I planted just 3 days ago have sprouted! It was supposed to take 7 -14 days, hope they are what I planted... It's been so lovely out that I set these little pots outdoors to soak up some rays. Also, went for my birthday lunch with my favorite New Yorker, Jen and she got me the cutest little chickie timer! I'm going to bake some chicken cookies tonight just so I can use this little guy. Love it!

I'll leave you with a photo of my soon-to-be business center. This is the before shot, it looks drastically different right now so I'll try and post an "After" shot later!
so cluttered and colorless! blaaa! but not for long!

Tangerine Tango!





According to Pantone, the color of Spring 2012 is Tangerine Tango. I decided to make myself a little set using this years "in" color. I ended up loving the necklace design so I'll be introducing the little triangles necklace into my normal collection! It's just so dainty and has such great movement. 

It's also been abnormally warm for March, so I planted some lettuce in the kitchen and some hardy green beans out in the container garden yesterday. We'll see how they grow this early in the year.

I'm cleaning the studio AGAIN. That's about all for today!
