Loss and desire

Not quite sure where the ambition came from to make these, but I did!
Finally! Well, I guess the ambition came from a desire.
I haven't made much jewelry in the past year, just haven't had the heart to do it, being that it was something I shared closely with someone who is now gone, it sort of made me sad. For some reason, I want to again. Is it part of the healing process? Maybe, not sure. Creating is something I always feel a need to do, but sort of took a step back for a while.
Regardless or why or what, I am WANTING to do this again, and am at least happy about feeling that way!
I have lost lots and lots over the past year. More than I ever thought I could, but to get the desire to create back, makes me feel just an eetsy bit better. It doesn't replace anything, it does give me a feeling of peacefulness, which I have longed for, and am extremely grateful to have.

Haven't decided what to do with these. In my etsy store, I have only photography listed, and removed all the jewelry listings long ago. It looks better if I only have the one subject in there, instead of jewelry and photography. Maybe a separate store?

Queen of my heart!

This is Tia. My princess, my saving grace, my heartwarmer.
I am so thankful for her. I truly believe dogs help ward off depression, especially this sweet little one. She is a cuddler and always right there next to us, even if we just sit on the couch. And yes, she sleeps in between me and my husband. It has gotten that I can't sleep unless she is up there! She has adjusted to not having her older brother Yogi around. I took her a while. She kept looking for him when she went outside for walks. He usually followed her out the door. We thought about getting another puppy after Yogi passed away, but Tia has had her heart broke once this year by losing him, and seems to be okay with being the one and only for now. Yogi had his time for years before Tia came into the picture, it's Tia's time now. She is loving the attention. And yes she is spoiled. How can you not, she gives so much love back to us.
