Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I set out to Coronado to visit with two darling friends that were visiting me from the North.  It was SO warm when I left my home and as soon as I got on the bridge.......OVERCAST.  Hmm, maybe it was going to be like when I lived in Chicago.  Looks chilly, but it's hot and humid?  I wouldn't really know until I parked and got on the beach, LOL!

OY!  Chilly........ay yay yay.

So happy to have found a little shell=0)

I found a whole lotta pretty shells=0)

POR QUE?!

It's so very cold, but I'm so happy to see my friends=0)  

Brrrrrrrrrrrrr.....

I think mother nature has spoiled me, LOL!

I was so happy to visit with my friends and knit while we caught up on old times=0)  We watched all the kids running in and out of the water.  COLD, but happy and laughing.  The best part is that we could just sit there and enjoy it=0)

HAPPY SABADO,

XOXO,

Carol

My other job.................

X-Where's the bacon?

LAST DAY OF SCHOOL

Last day of school tomorrow!!!!!  So, I finished the treasure necklace.......j u s t   in   time.  It's been a short and crazy week, LOL!  I hope that Maestra O is able to wear this necklace a lot.  She has been such a lovely teacher for kinder.  We all know that my little boy has a lot to say=0)  She is VERY loving and patient with him.  I CAN NOT express how much that means to me.  So.......I showered her with gifts this year, LOL!

                      I loved using this silk rope to fill in the cracks and give this necklace a thicker look.   My Mama said I should photograph it on a person, but I like it like this.  She believes that she is part of my creative team, LOL!!!!!!!!

I had to use two Italian horns to ward off......THE EVIL EYE.

LOL!  Sometimes I can be a bit dramatic when I describe my pieces.  Hope I made you chuckle.

I wanted to show you all the stuff I got at the winery.  The yarn shop was late to open, so here we go.

LOVE!!!

This bird looks like one of my watercolor paintings!  He's such a cutie.

I also bought two bags of organic lavender.  I wrapped this tag around it when I got home.  I kept this tag from my French Larkspur purchase.

I'm wishing you all a wonderful weekend with friends and family.  I'll be taking a lot of photos this weekend=0)  You'll see it all next week!

XOXO,

Carol

X-Uhhhhh, I'm never talking to you again!

Back to the winery(hiccup!)

Hola!!  First I wanted to show you the beginning of a treasure necklace that I am preparing for the last day of school.  This is for X's maestra(teacher).  She is so very lovely and patient with my little man=0)

I would also like to thank my new friend Staci 

for the versatile blogger award!  If you love to sew, please check out her blog=0)

 I made it back to the winery Sweet Cheeks........to take some real photos.

The court yard was peaceful, since the farmer's market was over.

Here is the building that I love so much.

Charming and quiet, ahhhhhhhh....

Here is a gorgeous little shop.  I just had to take a peek inside=0)

But first a quick photo of this cute bench.

OY!  Stores like this, just can't decide what I really need.  Everything looks like I must say, "I'LL TAKE THE WHOLE LOT!".

This is the cute little place that I had lunch and enjoyed the quiet.

I was thrilled to see this little shop that is transforming into a yarn shop!!!

LOVE the glass shop!

These men are amazing.  They create so many masterpieces.  I could just watch them for hours and hours and hours.

Over the years, this little shop has changed and changed.  It's tiny and usually a business will out grow it and then move to a larger cottage.  I've always told my husband, "look at my cute shop!".  He laughs EVERY time, LOL!  It is such a cute florist shop.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend enjoying time with your family.

XOXO,

Carol

My other job.....................

X-Stay here with me!

Me-I'm so hungry.  If you don't want to eat what I made, that's okay.

X-OKAY!!!!  Cocoa Puffs, plllleeeeaaaassseeeeeeee..................

Fine silver & Sunshine

Hola Cielo!  I've been working on my fine silver rings that I will be adding to my Etsy shop.  Adding texture and polishing has been keeping me busy.  I did take the night off last night!  I sneaked out to have Thai with my Jersey girl.  

Here is a double band called, Bump In The Road.

The band is textured, but the bump is shiny and polished.

Flowery Ladybug

This one is all textured and hand stamped.  I made it all with letter hand stamps!  This one is adjustable....just in case you want to wear it on a different finger.

Leaf

The whole ring is textured, but leaf is shiny and polished.

If you like the stack of rings, I can also hand stamp them.  I stamped AMOR four times on the top band and all my family's names on the other one.  This way it doesn't matter if the ring spins around....you can always read it!

I also got a sunshine award, yipee!

Gra-cha-cha-chassss!

Hope your cielo is azul today,

XOXO,

Carol

My other job...............

X-I had so much fun with Daddy today!

Me-Cool.

X-We were in the splash zone for the Shamu show!  We had to move later.......too much splashing(giggle, giggle, giggle).

Me-Wow!!!!  Even your underwear is wet, LOL!

X-OH, that was from the river rapid ride.  I know.......you hate that one, that's why I like my Daddy better.
