Wednesday, June 27, 2012 Wednesday, June 20, 2012 Allright.....temps in AZ right now where I live are running anywhere from 109 degrees to 113 in some areas....too hot to do ANYTHING outside....so I am spending time in my little studio. Cranking out "Les Bijoux de Junque" as Debra from She Who Seeks has graciously labeled my little creations. The piece above was made for my wonderful neighbor.....who is a horse lady. In AZ.....all horse people have to own some kind of truck....to be a real cowboy...so I made her a little something to wear with her cowboy duds...although she doesn't own a truck....she can always pretend. And then we have this: Have a beautiful Montana friend...who is a GREAT cook....in fact she worked one summer as a ranch house cook...anyway....made this little diddy for her. From junk I have around here....as usual....using an ordinary item in a new way. Which brings me to this thought..... Are YOU the kind of person who sees beauty where others only see junk? I know I am..... I believe that comes from thinking outside the box....or growing up as poor as a "church mouse" or being a little "wonky" I'm not sure which. Which happens to fit right in with my opening quote today..... If your thinking is always so structured in black and white and everything MUST BE PERFECT.....and you always HAVE TO MAKE GOOD SENSE.....how can you be creative? I think creativity comes from "throwing a lot of things up against the wall....and seeing which one actually sticks". Any thoughts on this? Hugs from the hottest place on earth....at least that is what I think today! LOL LOL Jo Monday, June 18, 2012 NURTURING YOUR SOUL............. The soul goes by many different names~~ Hinduism ~ Atman Jainism ~ Jiva Sikhism ~ Atma - "roohu" Christianity ~ Soul Jewish ~ Soul Buddhism ~ Anatma - No-self/No Soul Just to mention a few: "Each person has an ideal, a hope, a dream~which represents the soul. We must give it the warmth of love, the light of understanding and the essence of encouragement." Calley Dorr Dom How do you nurture your soul? Friday, June 15, 2012 A few of you have asked about seeing a picture of our Skyler and our Miss Sophie. This pic was taken 2 days ago....they are both sharing Sophie's bed in this photo. He is growing like a weed...and is probably 4 times as long in length as when we brought him home. Miss Sophie is the Alpha-dog and she let's him know it....when appropriate......GOOD FOR HER.... I SAY! teehee Have a wonderful weekend. Jo Thursday, June 14, 2012 I have posted before about my love of recycling materials into art..... We really have so much "stuff" on this planet of ours....that it is really terrific when someone is able to creatively use something old....in a new way. O.K......this piece was made in Haiti....from an old car or truck body.....cut out and welded to make this cute, cute piece of funky art! It is one of my favorites and I hang it right up there with my other art pieces. Makes me smile. Keep smiling, Jo Tuesday, June 12, 2012 JUNKYARD JEWELRY............. Well, was finally able to get back and spend some time in my little studio. My new puppy, Skyler, has been keeping me busy.... I'll tell you that. Anyway....wanted to share this little piece with you....made from a fan pull...an old piece of crystal from a chandi...washers...parts from door knobs... half of some kind of car gear and various beads. The orange beads were given to me from my neighbor...she picked them up in Santa Fe on her last trip there. I know this piece is far from perfect...but I do love how it looks so funky and bohemian. Well....off to $.2.00 taco night at our local restaurant. If any of you beautiful ladies would like me to make you a wonderful piece of Trailer Park Jewelry.....just drop me a line and we can chat. I can guarantee it will be reasonably priced! LOL LOL Have a wonderful night...dear friends. Jo Friday, June 8, 2012 OVER THE MOON GIDDY WITH DELIGHT....... Anyone who knows me....knows I'm certainly NOT a minimalist....with color or with my home. I have been looking for a rug to incorporate into my living room...it seems like FOREVER. Anyway....finally found one I adore!!! Ordered this Persian on-line from One King's Lane....rugs can be tricky...and ordering them over the internet can really turn out to be a nightmare...but as I said.... I could not be happier. Love the color, love the design and it is just enough color in the middle of my room. A large coffee table normally goes on top of it....but I wanted to show you the design of the rug clearly, so took these shots without the table in place. Oh and the best part is the rug was marked down half-price. Needed a pop of color on that traditional rug of ours and this one fits the bill. BTW......here is a shot of my studio.....where I can be creative from time to time...when I'm not messing with dogs....teehee. You can see how that rug I just purchased would fit right in with my funky/eclectic decor. Let's all go have a colorful weekend. Smiles from me to you. Jo Monday, June 4, 2012 CONTINUED POST ABOUT LIFE......... OK....here is the remainder of yesterday's post.. What other people think of you is none of your business. Time heals almost everything. Give time..time. However good or bad a situation is, it will change. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in Touch. Believe in miracles. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger. Growing old beats the alternative - dying young. Your children get only one childhood. Make it memorable. Read the Psalms. They cover every human emotion. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need. The best is yet to come. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind. If you don't ask, you don't get. Yield. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift. That's it......have a wonderful day.

30 savjeta da prihvatite život Regina Brett, poznata kolumnistica navela je popis od 30 savjeta za život i lekcija koje je nju život naučio. Njeni savjeti pomoći će vam da se ne bojite godina, te uživate u svakom danu. Život nije pošten, ali je dobar. Kada niste sigurni, napravite mali korak. Život je prekratak da biste vrijeme trošili mrzeći nekoga. Nemojte uzimati sebe ozbiljno. Ne uzimaju ni drugi. Plaćajte kartice svaki mjesec. Ne trebate pobijediti u svakoj raspravi. Plačite s nekim. To više liječi, nego kada plačete sami. S prvom plaćom počnite štedjeti za mirovinu. Pomirite se s prošlošću, da vam ne zezne sadašnjost. Nemojte se uspoređivati s drugima. Nemate pojma kakav je bio njihov put. Ako neka veza treba biti tajna, tada vi ne trebate biti u toj vezi. Sve se može promijeniti u treptaju oka, ali ne brinite Bog nikad ne zatvara oči. Možete proći kroz sve ako date sve od sebe. Pisci pišu. Ako želite biti pisac pišite. Isto vrijedi za sve ostalo što želite biti. Zapalite svijeće, koristite dobru posteljinu, nosite skupo donje rublje. Nemojte štedjeti na bitnim stvarima, kako biste trošili na ono nebitno. Budite ekscentrični sada. Nemojte čekati starost da biste nosili ružičasto. Nitko nije zadužen za vašu sreću osim vas. Oprostite sve svakome. Što drugi misle o vama to je njihov posao, a ne vaš. Bila dobra ili loša situacija, ona će se promijeniti. Starenje je puno bolja opcije, nego umrijeti mlad. Vaša djeca imaju samo jedno djetinjstvo, učinite ga punim sjećanja. Nemojte odgađati život. Uredite se, pokažite i uzmite maksimum od njega sada. Riješite se svega što nije lijepo, korisno ili vas ne usrećuje. Zavist je gubljenje vremena. Ono najbolje tek dolazi. Nevažno kako se osjećate, dignite se, obucite i pojavite. Ako ne pitate, nećete znati. Udahnite duboko, to smiruje misli. Život nije ukrašen mašnom, ali je još uvijek dar.
