a quick small challenge for you!

one of the bloggers I follow list 3 things she is thankful for each day. she does what happened that day but I don't want to be limited to that, so, I am going to start today! I challenge you to do they same thing, in your own way. tell your child, husband/wife, best friend, blog it, tweet it, comment on mine, email your friends...or just thank God. hope to hear from you sometime!

 1. clean sheets
2. a job, no matter how hard or difficult the situation
3. my county.

so, are you up for the challenge?

my cousins designs and mine

my cousin is a designer like myself.  i currently do jewelry, she does handbags.  i would love to one day purchase one of her beautiful designs but can't right now.  each one is created in her mind and has a biblical story behind it that she shares.  i would love for you to check her and her designs out.  this is her link and you won't be sorry: http://www.facebook.com/#!/scarletcloverdesigns.

 

she encourages me and has invested in some of my designs.  this is what i designed for her so far:

 

 

these charms respresent the symbolism of her designs.  each on tells a story.  you should read about them.  this is in sterling silver and slowly but surely, we will add more to it.

 

she also likes my sari silk designs.  this is the latest thing i made her

 

 

and this one.

 

 

 

she wanted a bracelet to match so this is what i created for her today.  shhhh, she hasn't seen it yet.
