I have a little secret

My new little secret is that I'm taking a beginners class in metal smithing. We have 6 students all together and I'm really enjoying it. So far we only had one class. I will have 2 more days for class. We had to pick out a design and begin working with it. I couldn't come up with one fast enough so I just did a leaf. So far I have the leaf cut out from silver and I'm working on the copper etching of the leaf veins. Below you will see what I have done. I plan on making a necklace out of it. Wish me luck. The tough part is coming for me I have never solder. So I will show my progress in the next couple of weeks. Hopefully it turns out.

Double Delight Peanut Butter Cookies

I watched Oprah last week on Wednesday and she had people on the show who won millions of dollars. This lady won the pillsbury bake off contest and it was the double delight peanut butter cookies. So I decided to make them and I must say they were really good. Check the cookies out here for the recipe. Oprah

Who's lurking in the leaves?

The leaves really fell down on Friday. We have Sycamore trees one in front and one in back. They produce the biggest leaves you will ever see. I decided to take a quick picture of them before I raked. Also look what is in our front yard for Halloween.

Newest Item in Store

This is my newest item in store. I had fun making this necklace. You can wear it with other necklaces you have and also with the variety of colors in it can be worn with quite a bit of different clothes. There is no clasp so it slips on and you can wear it to whatever color you want showing in front or any color for a focal. To read more click on picture. Thanks!
