Milestones… 100th Post

I can’t hardly believe I’ve made it to my 100th post. I’m having so much fun creating and sharing with my friends and followers… and whoever. I have really enjoyed working with color and getting back into obsessing about fashion and design. I thought I might do something special for this post, but really, I have to work on report cards, it’s one of those grey overcast and cold days here, and I have to keep designing jewelry too. So a list of 100 things about something fabulous is a bit out of the question today. I spent my morning trying out my new Nikon D3100, taking product shots of new designs. I’ll add a few pictures soon. I recently celebrated my birthday and bought myself the camera with my birthday money. Thanks mom and dad.

Of course I have to add something pretty to this post so last night I worked on a new palette. This is pink fairy duster (Calliandra eriophylla)

I took this picture two years ago on a birthday trip to Tucson for the mother of all jewelry, bead and rock shows. That was amazing, but I almost loved visiting the desert more. We went to the Sonoran Dessert Museum, not once, but twice. I couldn’t get enough of the amazing cilantro and pistachio pesto they served at the restaurant.

We walked the trails loving all the birds and blooming desert gems.
