And They Call It Puppy Love...


These charming lampwork beads were made by artist Lori Peterson and they seemed perfect for a Valentines Day bracelet, wouldn't you agree? Well, I've got the bug again...so I'm using all my spare time to work on jewelry. Typically when this happens everything else goes by the wayside, because I seem to be only able to focus on one thing at a time...hopefully I won't let the house and laundry and mealtime fall into ruin while I go crazy playing with beads. You may have noticed I have a little trouble finding balance in my life...surely, I am one of those crazed obsessive compulsive people. I must sit down and read a book thru---I can't read for an hour and come back tomorrow for a disciplined read, when I'm thinking jewelry--that's all I want to do. When I'm in a cleaning mood I can really get things done, but I'm a terror to live with, because I want everything to stay perfect....I do work on these issues, but never seem to completely conquer them...so this week is JEWELRY...should be some eye candy to enjoy before I totally overdose on jewelry and move on to the next magnificient obsession!

You are so fun. I think that is why I adore you so much. Be thinking red necklace and bracelet for Matt to be getting for me for Valentines Day :)

I love this bracelet! Then again, I don't think there is anything of yours that I don't love!

By the way, I don't think there is anything wrong with sitting down and ignoring everything while you read a good book....if there is, I am in trouble too!

Thanks Tiffany and Kari! Red, eh? Gemstones or lampwork...I'll have to take a look in my stash and see what I can cook up!
