Inspiration for Your Day

Taken at the zoo by me

Go Confidently in the Direction of your Dreams!
Live the Life You've Imagined.
-Thoreau

I love this quote! I need to remind myself of the direction to take to make my dreams come true. What are you doing to make your dreams come true? I would love to hear all about them in the comments. I think it would inspire all of us to learn of each others dreams. I also think that when you tell others of your dreams it helps them come true. I think this works for goals as well, so feel free to list those as well because sometimes they can be the same.

I'd like to do something new...

...new to me anyway. I love quotes, I collect them in a little book. I've been trying to find a way to incorporate them into my work but so far I haven't figured out a unique way to do it for me. So I thought I would at least start sharing them with you here. Maybe it will remind me not to forget about my favorites and start getting inspired to be creative with them. So without further ado I give you 'The Quote of the Week'

'The beautiful is everywhere.'

Fernand Leger

I took this picture at the Desert Botanical Gardens.

Mary, Mary how does your garden grow?

I know that's not a very original title but it works! Well that just has be the cutest thing ever! That is a little baby basil plant trying to poke its little leaves out of the dirt! I needed to embrace my inner chef (I did graduate with a degree in culinary arts - really I did!) and at least grow some things that my family could eat! Bailey and I just started with herbs for now but we plan to add more as the planting season comes around again. She also has a little tomato plant growing and she is very proud of it. There is nothing like the taste of food fresh from the garden. Tomatoes are my favorite! I will be sure to post more picture of our little garden. You are of course all invite over for dinner. I've also decided to start making some bread on a regular basis because well its just too easy not to! I'll post about that too.
I'm not sure what this has to do with jewelry or jewelry making but since all these things inspire me I thought I would post about the fun we are having here!

basil, parsley, and chives

Have a wonderful weekend!

Spring is just around the corner

This time of year I'm reminded of how lucky I am to live in such a beautiful place. We don't go through the seasons like the rest of the country does but I'm not one for snow so that's just fine with me.
Yesterday I was walking to pick my daughter up from school and I could smell the most wonderful scent all around me. I started looking around and then I looked up and saw where the scent was coming from. The orange tree! It was in full bloom. I love that scent. It reminded me that spring for us in Arizona is here and its beautiful! Its also just around the corner for the rest of the US.
Look around in nature today and see if you can see spring starting to show. Have a wonderful day!
