FREE Tumble Weeds

The great Tumble Weed Round-Up of 2011.

Being new to the desert we did not know what a tumble weed looked like until it was too late. Now we are overun so I recruited the kiddos and we had a round up. This is only a small portion of them.

They are VERY pokey and not fun to play with.

Beautiful New Year...

May you all have
a beautiful New Year!

Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Does not feel like Christams here in New Mexico with the warm weather so we drove down the street to White Sands. Beautiful....looks like snow and feels soft like cookie dough.
Hope you all have a safe, hapy New Year.

Bar Flies

My sister has been after me to make her a set of these for quite a while. I finally got around to it.

She came up with the cute name.
Bar Flies /Wine Glass Charms.
My sister is very clever.

Of course you have to have a fruit fly in the set.

Holiday Season

The holiday season is approaching...
FAST!

What a Mess!

It is no longer an "Organised" Mess.
Honestly... look at the tiny space in the front of my table that I work on. I have so much stuff spread out that I am working in a 6" space.

Time to clean off the work table. Maybe I will find some stuff I have been missing.

My kids would say..."Mom, time to clean your habitat."
Have a good weekend everyone! I will be busy straightening up.

Guardian Beads

These are my Guardian Beads.

They are also known as "natasha" beads or an "inside out" bead. I call them guardians because sometimes I can see angels, animals or faces in them. They are like a Rorschach test and everyone sees something different in them.

They are scraps all mushed together, formed into a log and cut open to reveal the picture inside. When cut the right way and opened up the right way all of the sides and middles match up.

Kind of fun and addictive to make because you never know what you are going to get.

Cloudy Day

My computer caught a nasty cold! I have had it in the repair shop all week and I just got it back with all new systems etc... That means I have to figure out how to use all of the new stuff and find all of my old stuff. I am not patient with this. Grrr!

Meanwhile....I am in awe of all the beautiful clouds! New Mexico has the prettiest clouds I have ever seen. The sky here is breathtaking and I can certainly see why it is called "The Land of Enchantment".
