What Shall I Be?


When I was growing up I had a board game called * "What Shall I Be?" ; designed for girls with choices you'd expect; nurse, teacher, etc. There was one that I always would pick but never ever did --- "actress". But the music lessons, choir, sewing lessons certainly shaped the things I do & enjoy today, as well as those jobs that I've had & "retired" from.

I've retired my aerobic shoes and microphone, the personal trainer clipboard...retired are the church organ & piano offertory, wedding & hymn books...

Some days now it's my ladder, a paint brush & faux finishing tools. Other days, garden gloves, a shovel & pruners. Often it's the sewing machine calling my name, something for my etsy shop. I need to spend MORE time working on new recipes, maybe a cookbook. For now, I hope you enjoy my shop, this blog & my other recipes!


PS...don't miss my daughter Sara's wedding pictures & blog!
*Object of the game is to the first player to become a Career Girl.
Players move around the board collecting School Cards, Subject Cards and Personality Cards.
Game ends when one of the players has collected 4 School Cards of one Profession and 2 Subject Cards and 2 Personality Cards that are good for that Profession.
Professions and their respective schools are:
College - Teacher
Airline Training School - Airline Hostess
Drama School - Actress
Nursing School - Nurse
Charm School - Model
Ballet School - Ballet Dancer
(No doctors, lawyers, designers....certainly not Vice President or President!)

Labor of Love, Etsy Treasury

This treasury took me by surprise! Guess I was in the right place at the right time but then there's that box, looking for a title...Labor Day I suppose...my birthday usually falls sometime during that weekend but this year the holiday came early but we'll use the theme & found some CUTE maternity t's in honor of my mom, laboring away --- we won't say how many years ago! The "Maker Maternity" shirt sold but another was relisted in it's place so check out these great shops!

So Engaging...

Sara & Casey at Peter & Gloria's December '07 wedding!
So much fun!!!
...more pics from my son & new daughter-in-law's wedding...
Although they've been engaged for a couple of months now, we are beginning the planning process of Sara & Casey's fall wedding ------October '08 is the projected time frame...
When I saw the barn photo from NicksPics & saw that it might be in Georgia I got REALLY excited!!!! That's just the type of place they'd like for their one-of-a-kind-wedding. The chandelier, photographed by chicalookate, hanging inside (the REAL chandelier!!!) would also be just perfect. Casey's niece, Mia, will be such a precious little flower girl & featured are a couple of finds that I can easily see her in on the BIG day! The necklace from nuovovita is similiar to ones that Gloria special ordered for all of her bridesmaids. They were a perfect compliment to the girl's dresses!!!
The illustration on the card from seasprayblue, "and then he kissed her" just reminds me of Sara & Casey...as does the ampersand...music has been a HUGE part of our lives, thus the bird song from synchronicity313...

Flirty Wire Dress Sculpture

Wire is an interesting medium that I have enjoyed working with and this piece has attracted some nice attention...almost 1000 views!
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=7204691

A feminine and flirty dress constructed of wire and displayed on a stand. This sculpture is woven with 22 gauge steel galvanized wire with some copper wire added to accent. The dress alone stand 8" high. approx. 7" wide at the hem, approx. 4" across at the bust. The stand, alone is 10" high. The dress sits on the stand with the hip area of the dress resting on the stand. The total height of the two pieces together is just under 16".
Above is a treasury from Tanushka, another etsy artist who makes beautiful jewelry! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=7204691 My favorite piece from Tanushka's etsy shop is this Pearl Charm bracelet.

Thanks again for including me in your treasury!!!
