Temperatures are finally above freezing during the day and the sky almost looks blue. Its enough to make you giddy after a long dark winter.<br />I find that lately my artistic endeavors have taken a back seat to other aspects of my life. I don't make resolutions in January (which is a horrible month for me personally) I make them when the weather changes. So what is my resolution for this year, to discover what it means to be home.<br /><br />I have lived most of my life in two very different areas. I have spent most of my life on the praries but I was born on the east coast. The contrasts of the lifestyles, pace of life and the scenery are dramatic.<br /><br />When I smell the change in the air that accompanies spring I seem to long for different things. I want to run away and play my harp in the Cape Breton highlands, walk along a beach with my husband, search for ladyslippers in the woods on PEI. In short I long for home.<br /><br />Ironic that I long for the home of my early childhood. We moved around A LOT when I was a child but it was always within the province. Then we moved out west. It was a shock to the system to instead see cool blues and greens and greys of the ocean coast you now saw the yellows of the grain and the browns of newly turned earth and the golden orange of the leaves as they turned colors. I have always hated earth tones. I can't wear them they make me hyperventilate when I use them in my house. Interesting isn't it how color can affect you.<br /><br />So, how does someone with salt water in their veins make a home in a landlocked province? How do you make peace with the fact that the only sand is at the playground (and you don't want to walk barefoot in that....ewwww) Good questions. Hopefully I will find a good answer I just don't have one yet?<br /><br />In the meantime I continue to hoard color at my home. Lots and lots of green. I put a pool up in my backyard as a temporary measure (my kids swear I'm going to rip out the basement and put in an indoor pool) and long for the sound of the sea, the smell of the salt and the seaweed, the cries of the seagulls and dream for a bit of where home should be.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1biH2j3IjgynNAOXogq9Wcll5beYqKC1k0OiyDcs_id02QV8Q3fT9WWQU3_l9iUwTLFRYErO3HfQh3ymHycf5Tvf_IUolG5XVNIJEzGUJfGNvLZdCRGGHr0fv4b8xFPfvScPzA7796Ep7/s1600/P1180122.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 252px; height: 233px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1biH2j3IjgynNAOXogq9Wcll5beYqKC1k0OiyDcs_id02QV8Q3fT9WWQU3_l9iUwTLFRYErO3HfQh3ymHycf5Tvf_IUolG5XVNIJEzGUJfGNvLZdCRGGHr0fv4b8xFPfvScPzA7796Ep7/s320/P1180122.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591013097963712306" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihseYgRddQyxgEBrTwxF6bYgxC_7u-E7tih0tyi6dt-kYsPnTKrZ-JQe-ZMC3lYiytZXZozihCk1wGxS6a15_GiPehm8YAHSzMsZ48cHW_M5zTx7CDigP-HltsgsRpcVslHzRI73d9rWVF/s1600/PC050059.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 262px; height: 233px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihseYgRddQyxgEBrTwxF6bYgxC_7u-E7tih0tyi6dt-kYsPnTKrZ-JQe-ZMC3lYiytZXZozihCk1wGxS6a15_GiPehm8YAHSzMsZ48cHW_M5zTx7CDigP-HltsgsRpcVslHzRI73d9rWVF/s320/PC050059.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591013399593205394" border="0" /></a><br />Artistically you can see my focus is back to the cool blues and greens.

We stalk a studio by promoting them and advertizing them to help them achieve sales. We alternate between a member studio and a random studio. I love being able to help others this way.<br /><br />This morning however I discovered that <a href="http://thestalkersguild.blogspot.com/2011/01/stalking-our-own-jewelled-trellis.html">I'm being stalked by my own guild</a>. I'm blushing and honored to be stalked by such a great group of artisans.<br />If you would like to see the antics of our guild you can find us here:<a href="http://thestalkersguild.blogspot.com/"> Stalkers Blog</a><br />or if you would like to join us you can find us here at the <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Guilds&op=guild_hall&guild_id=100">Stalkers Guild Hall</a><br /><br />Thank you all for the work you have put in to the Stalkers Guild and in your stalking. You're an awesome group of talented artisans and I'm proud to call myself a Stalker.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjKTpu5C4Zy3MazLFrV45vx-7Rk-h85kiEp-ga_qRi9gPxFQggYELUEFCkF56qwp-OPnNO-ILGmvA09JrZZKxzcBu8LAQYdEtOeF8wZOishYF5wjkPRUpjervn4CDj1fSrINP3kIWaH5SP/s1600/Stalker-member-tag.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 140px; height: 140px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjKTpu5C4Zy3MazLFrV45vx-7Rk-h85kiEp-ga_qRi9gPxFQggYELUEFCkF56qwp-OPnNO-ILGmvA09JrZZKxzcBu8LAQYdEtOeF8wZOishYF5wjkPRUpjervn4CDj1fSrINP3kIWaH5SP/s320/Stalker-member-tag.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563174196884501746" border="0" /></a>Jewelled Trellishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00968491600943238583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1174709282627002137.post-87899995590267248942010-12-07T08:31:00.000-08:002010-12-07T08:33:26.805-08:00Rainbows in the depths of winterDecember is a hard month for a lot of us.

Blogging is the bane of my existence. It's not that I don't have a lot to say. I just don't always know if it makes sense to blog it. There is something rather intimidating about having the contents of ones mind on ones musings being available to the public at large. So what do you blog about to keep things fresh and interesting? I think I need to brainstorm on that a little more.<br /><br />I have been using my blog primarily as a platform for my business. I love making jewellery. It relaxes me. I do not however care for the amount of time it takes to market my business. I have learned that marketing is not for me. At least marketing my own products.<br /><br />So while I stew about how to blog and what I should blog about I have some stunning new gems and beads that are positively screaming at me to get back to my job of creating.<br />I'll be back.......later.Jewelled Trellishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00968491600943238583noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1174709282627002137.post-72430468820450437582010-10-18T10:11:00.000-07:002010-10-18T10:21:56.054-07:00Fantastic Contest with WillowWalkerDesigns<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIZvYbSaQ-BSpNaQvG1OXJGB7S8CGfhAItMVplfjS3TOtlGe1RE1AvQPfWtanjedGwePVyMSTzgx8A6Z70SnAJD6FwYj5hOtfJgHHtWlfl29_YVS6TL78CpI7FKyNDTE3F15bgcLEzrzbi/s1600/HPIM9232.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 193px; height: 193px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIZvYbSaQ-BSpNaQvG1OXJGB7S8CGfhAItMVplfjS3TOtlGe1RE1AvQPfWtanjedGwePVyMSTzgx8A6Z70SnAJD6FwYj5hOtfJgHHtWlfl29_YVS6TL78CpI7FKyNDTE3F15bgcLEzrzbi/s320/HPIM9232.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529435989309096850" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNGTNpYK6a4PEFZcKNjLl2J3ofl5UKDfeKSNrpkX4vaYFN7-vGZwrUIAdjXfovwS0O2Qfw35PljnLFMO-hssFiWGfwmHnVoGm3nbBSqHe3NqMezLaKTZeXzys2LnuD0HjVJJmolaKYIPPQ/s1600/HPIM8544.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 186px; height: 186px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNGTNpYK6a4PEFZcKNjLl2J3ofl5UKDfeKSNrpkX4vaYFN7-vGZwrUIAdjXfovwS0O2Qfw35PljnLFMO-hssFiWGfwmHnVoGm3nbBSqHe3NqMezLaKTZeXzys2LnuD0HjVJJmolaKYIPPQ/s320/HPIM8544.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529435977716645314" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />I have a wealth of very talents artisan friends.

Growing up I really didn't care for my birthstone but now as I have matured in my tastes I find the richness of topaz is very appealing to me.

Its efficient, Google loves it and the extra tools just make my life easier.<br /><br />Now <a href="http://www.artfire.com/groupdeal">Artfire</a> has made a fantastic new offer as they come out of Beta.<br />$5.95 a month for a PRO account.

Stress is my middle name. I have been dedicating more time and effort to control the amount in my life.<br /><br />So how do I smell the roses? Well beyond the obvious stop at my kitchen table to enjoy these blooms I also find myself crocheting or stitching. Whenever I do needlework of any kind it reminds me of my grandmother. She is an amazing woman. She raised 5 great children had a wonderful marriage, is an amazing cook and does the most exquisite crochet I have ever seen. I am trying to follow in her footsteps. I'm not going to post my crochet but I will share with you my latest project. It has taken me a long time to reach this point of completion. (A sad <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">testament</span> to how little time I have taken over the last few years for myself)<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsJPH3gID0XMbHlbNMpkfCh8DumBg0TUVb3y-K2Yk4fUMy_lzuh9qOMWdmK_Reup5ybc9eDk50c1ftwhMTpiNU-gc9uqx4u-5oXTGaku9YDn_VLfOECMWThcyqMEezzlCs9YCuWSGApScR/s1600/P4150093.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsJPH3gID0XMbHlbNMpkfCh8DumBg0TUVb3y-K2Yk4fUMy_lzuh9qOMWdmK_Reup5ybc9eDk50c1ftwhMTpiNU-gc9uqx4u-5oXTGaku9YDn_VLfOECMWThcyqMEezzlCs9YCuWSGApScR/s320/P4150093.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460820634596315682" border="0" /></a><br />I fell in love with this pattern from Tracy <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Horner</span> of <a href="http://www.inkcircles.com/html/Book_of_IC.html">Ink Circles</a>. I want to have it completed by Christmas and framed.<br /><br />What was appealing of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">BoInk</span> ( Book of Ink Circles)? I love the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Celtic</span> theme. My heritage is decidedly <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Celtic</span> on one side and I have been drawn to that culture for many many years.<br /><br />This is one of the ways I smell the roses. It may sound strange to cross stitch while listening to 80's music sitting cross legged in my office chair but there you have it.<br /><br />How do you all smell the roses? If you aren't yet I challenge you to find a way to do so. It will make a difference in your whole outlook.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKu58hVaMR9K_GJI54fWSrpX3fsrOJx-tI8gKFsYhuGdyVTapmwktxta_0pFbbX_8FRGSKt97pYejih4M5apongrSLhoNu6lVunnkN6vYuxNBBTU7dT1CuTCT09azrbRTeQjRWbHoApWja/s1600/P4120068.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKu58hVaMR9K_GJI54fWSrpX3fsrOJx-tI8gKFsYhuGdyVTapmwktxta_0pFbbX_8FRGSKt97pYejih4M5apongrSLhoNu6lVunnkN6vYuxNBBTU7dT1CuTCT09azrbRTeQjRWbHoApWja/s320/P4120068.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460822102356055394" border="0" /></a>Jewelled Trellishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00968491600943238583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1174709282627002137.post-47087992438721574182010-04-15T10:35:00.000-07:002010-04-15T10:36:24.835-07:00The Tudors Crown Jewels are Back-How Long Before You Lose Your Head?My first Trendhunter submission.
