Another Mother's Day

Me and my Mom a long time ago.

Another Mother’s Day!  I’m sitting in the sun on our patio, listening to the birds and reflecting. Today marks the 18th year that we’ve celebrated Mother’s Day... without my Mom. A lot has changed throughout this time, especially communication. Imagine no cell phones ?!    If my mom were here today, we could chat for hours and still not cover everything. I miss her laugh... and she laughed a lot.  She was a wonderful lady and thinking of her is bittersweet. I believe she’s in a better place and if I’m selfish in wishing she was still here, that’s ok.   I thank her for teaching me many things, which helped me to be a good mom too. My boys have turned out to be such wonderful young men, I hope she’s as proud of them as we are.

Anyhow, I just wanted to say "I hope you still have your mom or someone in your life that loves & motivates you as much as mine did. "

Thinking of my Mom and all the Moms that were, are & will be... 

Happy Mother’s Day!

Remembering my Mom on Mother's Day 

What to do this Valentine's Day?

Valentine's is only 10 days away, and I'm trying to think of something special to do with my Sweetheart. It's the 30th Valentine's day, we'll be celebrating together.

Many Valentine's days have passed, with nothing special to mark the day, but there have been some very special ones, and I'd like this to be one of them.

A nice dinner out is always a treat- for both of us… no cooking, no dishes. It's definately on my list :) He's not a movie fan, so that's out. Our taste in music is so different, so forget that.

If the weather's nice and his back's ok, a long walk on a snowy beach (thinking Kokanee Creek Park) would be pleasant enough.

After all the year's we've been together, it's hard to find something new to do.

Any and all suggestions are welcome.

Follow my heart

I'm working on a small group of jewelry pieces
that I hope you'll enjoy.
This is the 1st one.
I call it "follow my heart" because that's what I'm doing.
I love the freedom of making something just for the joy
of making it.
Using earthenware clay, firing it, painting it, then
designing and making it into a unique piece of jewelry has allowed
me to use numerous skills. It's a little wearable work of art.
I hope you like it as much as I do :)
I've just listed it in my Etsy on-line shop.
