shorts in October??!!

Now don't get me wrong I LOVE soaking up some nice hot southern sunshine, wearing almost nothing cause its just that hot, but in late October, really. It's completely throwing me off. All of the leaves are changing and turning into the most beautiful cherry reds, pumpkin oranges, and lemon drop yellows and I am wearing a tank top and cut off shorts. Oh well, the cold will come soon and I will get to wear all of my knits and layers.

So, today after I picked lil Finnigan up from school, we went to Randys Pumpkin Patch. We were the only ones there and the owner let us play with all the animals (bunnies, chickies (i miss my chicks), and ponies) for free. They were charging $3 per person per each animal group and the ponies were $5, CraZY!

Finn had a blast, I think the bunnies were his fave. We both felt really bad for the ponies, you could just see it in their eyes...sadness. Horses are suppose to run like the wind out in open land, not be chained to a rail and walk in circles for hours on end. Needless to say we didn't go for the pony rides. I asked Finn if he wanted too, desperately hoping he would say no and he said, "Mama they look sad I want to take dat stuff off dem." He is such an old soul :)

the poor lil bunnies eyes look like they are gonna

pop right out of it's head :)

this one was straight chillin'

the one we finally agreed on :)

and a lil spider I made

Mondays are my Saturdays

I don't know what all the fuss is about Mondays, frankly I like' em. They don't stress me out at all, its more like a day for me to get all the stuff done that I told myself I would do on Sunday but was too lazy to do.


I was able to take some pictures of my new jewels, that I hope to have up in my etsy shop
some time this week. Here is a little sneak peek....enjoy :)

Hello online world!!!

Well, where do I even start. I guess by saying, "HELLO BEAUTIFUL WORLD!!"
I have been wanting to start a blog for my jewelry/life for awhile now, but I have been too sarced and frankly to darn lazy. But, for some reason I got this uncontrollable erg to share my life with the rest of the world.
I don't exactly know what it is about today, maybe it was the beautifully romantic wedding I went to, or the way my lil 2 1/2 year old son was tearing up the dance floor. Who knows. I am here and thats all that matters.

Let me share a little about myself and my comfortable lil world.

This is Finn. my world.heart.life

 I must also say that I am a complete visual person,

                                                so most of my stories will be told by pictures :)

This is me and KTH in our dreamland

the rocky mtns. (colorado side)

water+ rocks = endless BEAUTY!!!

And the main reason I started this thing...
