Thing-a-day.com

I never would have made it as a frontiersman, or woman. This day to day stuff is kicking my butt! However, I was determined to make a Thing for today. Not sure if I should have taken on this endeavor, I have a feeling that I would have been better off photographing my loaf of bread, or cereal bars that I cooked. But noooooo…that just wasn’t good enough for me. So in my deliriously tired state, I threw together something. Call it a ‘collaboration on Spring’ or ’simple desperation’.

Earrings, again. I wanted to put some pastel beads with these leaves to evoke thoughts of budding flowers. But after I threaded and looped the pink beads on silver pins, I realized I didn’t have the proper size silver rings to hook the leaves. I was too tired to attempt making my own loops, or using eyepins, so I said screw it, I’ll combine metals. So the chain was switched out to the brass, using brass jump rings, along with the silver pins in the pink beads and silver ear wires. I could have saved the pink dangles and remade a set using brass pins, but alas…I didn’t think of until just now, and if I had done so, how would the transition to silver earwires work? I only have silver….Anyway, I’ll just keep rambling if I don’t shut up now…

It’s obviously too dark for my clothesline photography, so I used a mirror to further complicate things

I DID get a cute photo of my boys today
