Winter is coming!

I was trying to figure out why the air conditioner was coming on last night when the temperatures weren't high enough to trigger it, and then I realized it wasn't the AC - it was a much cooler than expected breeze coming in the patio door! (Also couldn't resist working in a Game of Thrones nod!)

Aurora Borealis Crystal Necklace Earring Set Sterling Silver



I actually made this a few months ago, but had forgotten to list it. Enjoy!

A Year in the Making, day 357

I will clean tonight. I will. Really!

I'm using my personal day tomorrow for my birthday, and it'd be nice to not spend the whole day cleaning. I'm thinking I should go see a movie, at least.

I just got my vendors' packet for the Medieval Country Faire two weekends from now, at Volunteer Park in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle. The Seattle Knights will be there, which is always a treat!



I'll be spending a good portion of my free time next week making sure I've got everything tagged. I always say I'm going to price everything as I post it, but I never do. Silly me.

I got the fancy necklace finished a little bit ago, and would have made this post earlier, but I got sucked into Facebook and an hour went *poof*! Such a marvelous tool, the internet, but such an easy way to waste time too.

And the pieces from yesterday are now photographed and up in my Artfire shop as well:

A Year in the Making, day 352

Another quickie today, as I just spent the evening trying to find the dining room table. Where does all the clutter come from, and how the *bleep* does it build up so quickly? We're having company next weekend, and my goal is to tackle a little bit of the mess every night for the next 8 days. Then, of course, once I've cleaned a spot, I have to make sure it doesn't become the new repository of stuff when I clean up another spot. Oh, the vicious cycle!

So here's a little Something Blue for the evening, inspired by a friend of mine who just got engaged last weekend:

And more for the girls

Because, hey, why not? Here's some great chic, contemporary, handmade jewelry from another Jewelry on Etsy teammate, LotusStone.

She's got some great sets available, each matched by name in her listings. My favorite is the Kathleen set:







There's also the Adriel necklace, a delicate silver leaf:



And look! More garnets! A set of earrings with my favorite stones and matching freshwater pearls:
