This weekend will be filled with jewelry making and reading!

It is suppose to be a rainy, cold, overcast weekend and I'm going to be snug as a bug inside making jewelry, designing jewelry and reading! I might even start a new knitting project! So many people I know are having babies or have had them! John has to work so much this weekend that I will have all the time in the world to do these things! Next weekend I might get some porcelain clay out and make some pendants for earrings, bracelets and necklaces!! I really have caught the creative bug!! Everyone enjoy your weekend!

Took some Fall like pictures!

You can see from this picture how tall the fountain grass has gotten in the courtyard. If you look real close to the right side of the picture you can see the birdfeeder my Dad made (which by the way is about 7 1/2 feet up in the air!).


Yes this picture was taken on an angle. I was watering some plants and lifted my head up and this is how I saw it, so I snapped that pic right away. Thought it would be different!


This doesn't look very Fall-like, but I thought I would put this picture on my blog anyway. This is the miniature Gardenia John and I bought Saturday for the courtyard. It smells heavenly!


Here is an upclose shot of the gardenia in the courtyard.

Everyone Fall is on the way! Enjoy all the colors of this season!

I've been busy making jewelry!

I have finally got the time to create some jewelry! This is a ring I made the other night. I used Swarovski crystals in all different sizes and shapes. I plan on making some more in different colors. I can make any size too. I'm going to get some silver-colored and gold-colored wire to make some different style rings. I just thought the copper colored wire went well with the olive green color.

If you are interested I have this ring for sale (and some earrings)on etsy.com. You can go to etsy.com, where there is the drop down box (it says handmade) you would click on Seller, type in my user name, which is cherylmcdermitt1 and when my site comes up you click on my username again and the entire site comes up! Even if you don't want to buy anything on there, please let me know what you think. Enjoy!

What a great weekend!

I have to say this weekend was really nice! Saturday John didn't have to go into work until noon. We went to breakfast and it was so good! It was good to just chat and not be rushed. I dropped him off at noon and picked him up at 6. I worked on jewelry for my etsy site. Then I went to pick him up so we could head on up to Jenny and Kevin's for dinner. Right before I had to pick up John I saw my neighbor at the mailbox. She got talking about things and I did too. Then she asked if I wanted to check out her townhouse (I love the porch over porch townhouse, but not really liking the floorplan). She then wanted to see the floorplan for ours. She likes ours better too. She does have her master on the first floor and 2 bedrooms up with a bonus room upstairs, but the downstairs seemed like a tunnel to me. Dinner and visit at Jenny and Kevin's went really well. We hadn't been up to their house in quite some time. They painted their shutters, front door, redid the front door and Saturday started putting down hardwood floors in the bedrooms and then their living room. I made the eggplant parm and Jenny made a salad and rolls. It was really yummy! Everything in her salad was from her garden accept the lettuce. The lettuce in her garden has bolted from the heat. Sunday John and I went to church, the grocery store, over to the old house to check on things, did laundry, read, watched TV and just plain chilled out! It was wonderful. I love weekends like this! I hope things are finally calming down with the old house and all the drama that goes with that!

Everyone have a great week!

Saturdays schedule

This morning John and I had a really nice breakfast. Then we headed over to Lowe's. I need to get a metal cutter so I can make some more earrings. We went into the garden center and we bought a miniature gardenia, which grows outside here in the South. It smells wonderful. I lost a rose I had transplanted from the other house so I took that out of the container and slipped in the gardenia! It looks great out in the courtyard. I put it by the picnic table so we will be able to smell its wonderful fragrance while we relax out there! We came home from our errands and John and I figured out what was wrong with the water flow in the fountain. A bird had sat on the top of the acorn and crimped the rubber piping. That was an easy fix! I then drove John to work and came home and the big news of the day my car now resides in the garage!! It just makes it! Some day we will be able to pull both cars in the garage but that won't be in the next week that's for sure! Tonight we are dining with Jenny and Kevin. I have the Eggplant Parm all made and ready to pop in the oven before we have to leave.

I hope everyone has a great weekend! Relax, enjoy and soak up the sun if it is out! Take care!

Happy Friday Everyone!
