Waiting for a home...

I never seem to find the time to create all the ideas I have swimming about in my brain. I had, up until recently, been amassing quite the little collection of stones. They're just too pretty to not buy. Alas, there's been a self-imposed ban preventing me from buying any more cabochons until I take these babies and turn them into jewelry once and for all.



Sigh...

What can I say? Time is an elusive thing when you're a work at home mom trying to keep up with a sprightly little 2-year old.


There are ant hills to investigate...


...tadpole ponds to explore...


...and tea parties to host for furry friends.

All very important things, indeed.

I love making jewelry. It's really a passion (cooking is another). But my daughter comes first. In the less than 2 hours I have to myself during the day (her nap time), I consider it a good thing if I've kept up with a few Etsy orders and commissioned pieces. Creating new designs takes time, and inevitably always falls by the wayside.

One of these days (hopefully sooner than later), maybe I'll find the time to do something lovely with these stones.
