There are many youtube tutorials for jewelry making. I love this piece as it combines sparkly,with pearls in a mixed bead composition. I love the earthy bohemian look to it. And of course it has some blue in it, my favorite color....

I like jewelry making. I had this glass fish bead  from a local glass blower, and finally got inspired and made it into a necklace.

I completed my first bead stitch project.  So now I'm in the Skull and crossbone knitting society league.  Its a really fierce piece. And now I sold it and it belongs to a happy Harley Davidson motorcycle chick......
Carla's cookies {chocolate chip peanut butter cookie}

At one time I worked in the tailoring position in Macy's. There was this awesome mens tailor/ star trekker/baker  named Carla. She gave me this cookie recipe. It is an upgrade from the Tollhouse brand of cookies, and since my family is a die hard chocolate chip cookie fan. It was an instant hit... Here is the recipe....
1 stick of unsalted butter, room temperature
1 c. of peanut butter
1 c. white sugar
1 c. of brown sugar
cream together. Then add 1 tsp. of vanilla. and 2 eggs..  Then add 3/4 c. of white flour, 1/2 c. of whole wheat flour, 1 tsp. of baking soda, 1 tsp. of baking powder, 1/2 tsp. of salt, 2 1/2 c. of quick oatmeal. 1/2 to 1 c. of chocolate chips. Bake on parchment paper at 325 degrees until done appoximately 8-12 minutes...

I love the small quilt pieces with embellishment. This is my first piece. Years ago, I tried to plan some sunflowers next to my rental trailor..Then some cute toddlers came along and picked the tops  right off of the sprouts  before my eyes!....So I didn't get angry, but thought, how can I perserve my love of sunflowers, and came up with this comcept.

Minnesota bird.. I couldn't find the right fabric for the background so I painted it myself. I like the tree design and it could be an inspiration for another project down the road
