The weather is starting to change. Autumn is here! I guess I better get my fall wreath out and hang it on the door. It's funny how cool weather makes us want to cook differently, too. I seem to want "real" food. The dinner salads aren't doing it anymore.

Handmade is new on Amazon for small businesses creating handmade products.
Please take a look. Selling handmade jewelry is no easy task since it is a touchy, feely thing. There is quite a bit of competition online and at shows.

I loved the shocking pink earring cards. Good marketing.

Happy Fourth of July!
Every July 4th I am reminded I am one more year cancer free! It will be 21 years that I was in the hospital for three weeks. Believe it or not I have funny memories of that time period. Thank goodness the funny memories outweigh the not so funny memories. I will elaborate on only one for now....

Yesterday, it was 14 degrees at 9:30 a.m. I took my son to basketball practice and nearly froze my dupa off! Since, it's wintertime I decided to bake something new from a recipe I had stashed away several years.
Doesn't it look good? It was GOOD!
This recipe comes from Jenny's Restaurant in Lahaska, Pennsylvania.

I have 99% of the time used sterling silver or gold filled metals. Using my disc cutter I cut one inch round discs, embossed the discs with my Vintaj Big Shot, oxidized the earrings and here they are...oh and little purple beads. I like the "long legs" on the ear wires, don't you? They are surgical steel ear wires.

What a gloomy day here at the Jersey shore! A great day for creativity and catching up on little things around the house that we avoid doing.
