Picture Day

November brings rain here in PA.

Before the rains came, we had some activity from the area's pine trees.

And even when it rains we have a few minutes here and there of sun.

This is my tree this November (photo taken 11/07/2013). It's colors are as wonderful as last year. It's beautiful and inspiring to me.

I have a special place in my heart for her candle holders. I love the geometric abstract designs she uses to create them. Isn't the one below a beauty?!

In The Studio

This week I'm finishing up the tiny crosses (custom order). They've been grouted and cleaned up a bit. In the photo below, the grout looks super wet but it's an illusion. It's actually quite thick like brownie batter and it looks similar to it too. Although I have never been tempted to taste grout, I'm guessing it tastes nothing like brownies.

Next, they'll get polished up so they sparkle and the backs will be painted black. They're scheduled to leave in a week.

The Puerto Rico Flag mosaic (custom order) is going really well. It's so nice to work with all the same thicknesses in glass. What a luxury!

I made another cross using blue & white china. This will get painted white on the back and sides and grout will be white. It should be listed on Etsy soon!

This morning a treasury was made for the DUB (Drumming Up Business) Team on Etsy. Check it out!

Burlap and Gold

The family friend that donated so many cookie jars a few weeks ago, gave us quite a few more boxes for me to look through probably of more cookie jars. I've yet to peek inside to see what kind of goodies are waiting, but you can be sure many things will be listed from these boxes in the months to come. She's beyond generous! We're so fortunate to know people who want to help us recycling and reuse items. It's a wonderful thing!

Weekend Wrap Up

It's been a busy week, yet again. I'm really enjoying the pace too. Things are happening here!

I got the glass ordered for the custom flag mosaic through Mosaics By Maria who has the best turn around time and always reasonably priced. This site is the first place I go to find glass tiles for my mosaics. LOVE it.

And the crosses are waiting for grout. I'm so happy to see them all together like this.

Orders have been arriving for pillow covers and tote bags. One cover was featured in a blog by Wuglyees right here on blogger. Yay! Check out their Etsy shop and the blog too.

Halloween brought a new Featured Shop - YviBJonesCeramics of ceramic goodies from Etsy to feast on as well as a dedicated treasury, Warmth. Head on over to Etsy and visit Yvi's shop and check out the treasury too.

The end of October brings even more color to my world through the courtyard where I live. Beautiful, is it not?

A few more tote bags and one Christmas item has made it's way into my shop. My favorite newest tote bag is this one:

Picture Day

Not a lot to share this week but what photos I have are good ones. Yesterday was Halloween here in PA and it started off as very foggy in the morning, rained midday and then got overly warm in the evening. I did get some great shots of the foggy morning! The grandkids were out Trick Or Treating a good long time enjoying going door-to-door in their favorite neighborhood. I stayed home and watched Netflix and worked on the custom order with no interruptions. We don't get any children visiting in the complex. The photo below may be an indication as to why. It can look pretty scary when the sun's not shining.

I've been playing around with the photo editor. Isn't the one above really awesome?!

Here's a foggy photo of my tree.

Check it out - the sky is white from fog. Cool.

But the leaves on my tree are still beautiful with a little help from the photo editor's saturation feature.

Ahhhhh the colors of fall in Pennsylvania. Beautiful.

I got a shot of my newest candle holder last night too. Placed in the window, the reflections all looked orange at night. Love that!

My tree definitely influenced me when picking out the colors for this candle holder.
