today is....

sam found this really cool rock while we were out in Montana...we had gone for a rock-hounding walk down by the river & we both found lots of neat stuff but this was THE find of the day, in my opinion anyways! she only agreed to give it to me when i told her i would make a necklace out of it...so here it is.
i wanted it to look like a primitive bead strand...almost an amulet type feeling...
it turned out just like i had imagined & i love it!


some fun little earrings to go with the necklace.

the {now infamous} orange scarf...i have been working on this since last fall.
josh teases me so bad about how long its taking me...he says that by the time i get it done i won't need it because hell will have frozen over...lol
i am really kickin it into high gear though... i really want it done for this year!
little mister in his new scarf...he actually likes to wear it! i was a bit trepidatious as to whether or not he would leave it on but he actually seems to flaunt it a little :)
