24 degrees and ice cream.....

So yesterday afternoon my husband said to me, "I'm hungry for chocolate ice cream" so we hopped into the very cold car and headed out into the 24 degree weather to get ice cream. We are insane, I know. The day was so bright and the sky so blue, a perfect winter day with the sun hinting of warmer days to come. Now if only that groundhog would fully cooperate and NOT see his shadow, things will be great!

We stopped at the lake and I jumped out of the car, took a quick brisk walk and got a showt of a few crazy ice fishermen! Brrrrrrr, I've been ice fishing before and I'll tell you that it's a lot warmer when you are sitting inside of one of those little blue huts rather than a bucket on the ice in the wind.


I adore this little school house. I think it would make a great studio.

We saw a flock of wild turkeys directly across the road from the school house. Gary took a pretty good shot out of the car window!

Lastly we swung around to the docks where we keep our pontoon during the spring and summer......ahhhhh wishful thinking.......only 3 more months! The tall moorings look like sentinels in the icy waters.
By the way, the ice cream was delish!



This is my new batch of birdie collage pendants. You can find them at the Honey Girl Studio Jewelry Shop.





I created this necklace last night using one of the collage pendants as a focal pendant. It has been created with bronze/blue glass beads, blue mat seed beads, eggshell seed beads, mountain jasper beads and fabric beads with book text on them (I made these and will be posting a tutorial soon on how to make them).



I got all of these luscious beads from Let It Bead in Greenville, Pa. (141 Main Street Greenville, PA 16125-2276(724) 588-1258). It's a wonderful little bead shop with a super friendly owner named Kris and her two darling wiener dogs. You can buy already made beautiful earrings and necklaces or you can pick out beads and make your own right there. Kris is more than willing to show you how to connect the findings and help you with your beading.
