is summer really over already?

 I am a pessimist, and as I kid I was thoroughly depressed about summer ending by mid July. Around this time I would have resigned myself to the horror of ever present back to school paraphernalia lining store shelves and plastering the covers of magazines and catalogs (catalogs are the worst- they like to remind you summer is ending as soon as it has begun)! Hopefully I will never have to go back to school again except in my nightmares, so the preemptive fall makes me a little less bummed out each year, the older I get. And who doesn't love fall, with it's leaves and warm fuzzy things?

i'm back from the woods!

Back from a kinda fun camping trip. I brought home a deer tick in my hair, and Kai got a tiny bit of poison oak as a souvenir from our time in the forest in Mendocino. I think I am done with camping for a while. My next vacation will be tick free and must include showers! Maybe I will share a couple photos from the woods later today after I get some painting done.

Three rings

Forget Me Knot Gold Ring

Buried Treasure Ring

Gold Ouroboros Ring

I love jewelry, even though I rarely wear it. There aren't too many occasions to around here, and although I do sometimes, dressing up to paint seems kind of cuckoo. Plus I am terrible with delicate things. I had this lovely ring but sadly it got squished. I like the three rings above because they look wearable while being unique, and sturdy...maybe even unsquishable?!

"Happily made necklaces"
