chinese new year.
i was born during the year of the rooster (1981) and decided to incorporate that into my design.
side one features a bezel set septarian cabochon with veins that glitter in the sunlight.
side two features a pierced rooster.
the necklace is competed with a strand of wire-wrapped river stone and a strand of wire-wrapped jasper.
i am so excited to have finished my necklace on time (with a couple of hours to spare) and really want to continue to participate in the rest of this years challenges.

each year our family makes a new star to top our tree.
this year ryan thought it would be fun to make it out of legos.
when a family member told a part of the christmas story, they got to add a couple of lego pieces to the star.
we came up with quite the exciting star.
thank you star wars lego kits!!

i have been the most negligent etsy shop owner this past year.
between church, school, and sports i have had a difficult time sitting down and cranking out completed pieces.
even when i am able to work on a piece from start to finish, i do not make the time to properly photograph it and list it on etsy.
over the next week or so i will be trying to create listings for the pieces i have been able to complete over the past 6 mos. or so.

the new year is always such a convinient time to think about new goals and changing directions.
i have been hiding out in my own little cave lately.
i venture out to help with school projects and church activities, but otherwise i stay tucked inside.
i need to get out.
i need to expand.
after coming across several posts of '30 before 30' lists, i have decided to compile my own.
i turned 30 in january and wrote down a '30 while 30' list.
some of the items on the list will be fairly easy to accomplish....read at least 1 book per month.
other items will require more planning.....paint 1 large watercolor (seeing as i have not painted in months and months...)
i also hope to write more in the form of journaling or blogging or both.
