breast cancer awareness pendants

When I shared a photo of my last glass pendants (link here) on facebook in July, a friend said she'd like something in pink with "the" ribbon as embellishment. In honor of her and October being Breast Cancer Awareness month, I made some pink glass pendants with pink ribbons. These I intentionally kept simple -- no extra wiring -- to represent freedom rather than confinement.

These pendants will all be given away to breast cancer survivors/fighters, with the person who inspired them getting first choice. If there are any left after facebook, I'll hold a blog drawing.

Believe,

katydid and wips

This katydid came by the other day. Aren't its patterns interesting? You can click to see close up. 

And just so you know I don't spend all my time bird & bug watching {smile}, here are some wips I've been working on in honor of October being breast cancer awareness month. Don't forget to schedule your mammograms, ladies, and self-check too!

a special trip to the mailbox

I'm hoping to feel up to making progress on some glass pendant WIPs today (been fighting a bit of a cold), but in the meantime, I'll share a photo from yesterday. Our mailbox is at the curb, and since I'm not consistent about watering plants, I use silk flowers in the mailbox flower box. The fact the flowers are fake didn't matter to this gorgeous dragonfly -- he rested there nearly hidden for quite some time. If it had been a cloudy day I might have missed him, but the sun danced so beautifully off his stunning wings I saw him instantly & dashed back in the house for the camera. If you click on the photo, you can see him in more detail. 

Wishing you all a truly enjoyable day!

Believe,
