Rose Beds

I have been neglecting this area in our garden mainly because I have being busy. As you can see some of these bushes could use a trim. Crab grass and weeds have been ruling our roses since spring. 

I keep postponing the work schedule mainly I cant get to focus on weeding this year. The roses keep blooming in this poor condition and inviting me to get a handle of this area. I will soon one of this day. 

Perhaps that will be a good excuse for me to buy few more bushes to add to this area. 

How to make Cabochons Jewelry at home...

I always wanted to make these beautiful ear studs at home and I finally did it. It is so much fun to make these and give them as gifts during summer for all your girlfriends. I wish I knew them when I was younger then I would make a set to all my friends at school. 

They are easy and fun to make. All you need is a good creative time, quiet time, and nice warm tea. I know I am just kidding but you can make them in a jiffy. 

I love the color pallet that I choose. They are not too bright, very subtle, and of course charming.

Finding therapy through beading…

Jewelry making was something I stared when I was working fulltime but didn’t get a chance to make a lot as I wanted to. I did taught myself some techniques through books. I have to admit I am getting better at learning through books. I did bought some books that helped be along the way.
I did bought some beads when I see them on clearance and had them in a stash which I have come to discover with LOVE/. Purely the reason I can make use of it now…

Since I have finished the quilts for my daughter and still have some blankets to work. I find myself navigating around my bead box and creating…

I have few ideas that I love to create. Additionally I enjoy mixing media… which I find fun, interesting, and hip. This FALL my goal is to make some necklaces that I could wear or simply be a GIFT for someone special…

Hand me down Jewelry… with a Twist to it can be a Knockout…

I got this necklace from my mother-in-law while ago… actually it belong to her sister… this was one of my projects from my -to- do list. All it needed was a little oomph or in other words a face lifts… I love the colors and works well with FALL outfits. I do remember buying the beads long time ago but never had the time to work on it… now that I needed something to wear for an outing. I thought I will give it a try to fix it so actually I can wear and use something that has passed down.

I did add in some gold plated spaces to add something to it and it worked GREAT… I used the old clasp since it was still in working condition. Did add new string… what I loved about this is its irregularity and inconsistency in the pattern didn’t change it a bit but did add few extra beads to give some statement to it…

Actually the lady at the bead shop loved it and said I did a phenomenal job. I love the feedback as you might have notice. I was able to get it done in few minutes… I was happy it was done… one project done from my -to -do list…

I cannot wait to try this with my fall outfit… so what are you up to or how is your to do list looks like… do you treat yourself with some fun… I am sure you do… life is too short you got a love it…

I would love to hear what you are up to…
Matter of fact I had a very productive week so far, was able get done some projects and that’s always fun…
