July!

Howdy dear blog friends.

How could it be the end of July and not one post?  I've been a busy bee this month. 

I'm making jewelry, journaling, I've gone to a weekend jewelry workshop and have been visiting my dear dad in the hospital.  My sister and nieces came for a visit, too. July has been full of surprises both good and bad. Health matters, we bought a very used car and through it all I have been carving out bits of time for me. Relationship seems to be the word of the month

This week I promised to blog every day- NO MATTER WHAT!

My program here seems a little iffy today in the formatting, but I will include some recent photos.

On the left is my work tray from the Twisted Sistah Workshop I took in San Luis Obispo with the lovely and incredibly talented  Ms. Diana Frey.  I will write more about that this week.

There seems to be a list making it's rounds through the blogs, I've tracked it through several links.  I think it started in The Simple Woman's Daybook..

Here is my list:

For Today

Outside my window... The Trumpet Flower bush my dearly beloved gave me for our anniversary is blooming

I am thinking... of taking a nap

I am thankful for... my life

From the kitchen... a huge green energy drink my dear one me made for lunch

I am wearing ... pink crops, ugg boots and polar fleece

I am creating... a new relationship with my blog

I am going... to the store for food & prescriptions

I am reading... Stephanie Lee's Semi-precious Salvage

I am hoping... My migraine goes away

I am hearing... silence

Around the house... it's a cold, foggy, windy, coast of northern California day

One of my favorite things... chocolate chip cookies with my morning coffee

A few plans for the week... BLOG!!! also a quick beaded bracelet class tomorrow night and best of all, help hang my dearly beloved's photographs for an upcoming show that opens Sunday!

XOXO Julie B.
