August

The video is a practice video I made with Final Cut Pro, it depicts my paintings and my husbands song 'Kimberlee' which he gave me for Christmas a few years ago.

August already, I just found a painting muse and it will probably take me five more days to begin. Well, my new muse will be my first canvas painting since I've been taking chemotherapy. My Doctor said to keep painting. I can't think of anything I'd rather do.
Crafting and jewelry has slowed down for a slight pause while I oversee a new canning business. 

 It's sad to realize there are only 20-25 days left of swimming. 

Summer is going away for a while and when I'm missing the days of swimming I will fall in love with color, that will tide me over to the next time I can dip my feet into the light blue water of the pool!!

Announcing Consider The Sparrow Series Pendants

Announcing My Consider the Sparrow Pendant Series
The story behind my pendant is based on Luke 12:7 (KJV) 

Here is the story I got from a web page that sums it up pretty well

Consider the Sparrow

--A Message from Jesus

My eye is on the sparrow as she flutters about in search of food and a place to nest. I guide her to a resting place, and she trusts Me. She doesn't worry about what she doesn't have. She just goes about her day and trusts that I will provide her needs. How small and numerous are the sparrows, and yet I know and watch over them all. I remember and care for each one.

You, My child, are far more precious to Me than all the sparrows combined, and if I show such concern for these small and seemingly insignificant birds, will I not also care for you?

I know your troubles and I understand your fears. I am here to give you faith and answer your prayers, but I need you to trust Me as the little sparrow does. You don't see her fluttering about in a panic, worried and flurried; she is calm and peaceful, knowing that My eye is on her and I will care for her as My own.

My eye is on you, too, and I stand ready to help. So trust Me, won't you? Let Me do the worrying!
