City Life
Mornings:
The cars driving quickly pass,
a doorman on a hotel’s steps,
the gloomy grey sky looms ominously against the tall barren sky scrapers.
Morning commute:
Smoky skies,
seagulls fly,
people chatter on mobile phones.
Midday:
People shout,
flags fly,
office personnel on lunch break.
Night:
Cigarette smoke,
drunks run amok,
A city of pounding beats from the feet of dancers.
The lonely emptiness of a pulsing, fast paced day.
And yet, I would never give up the city life.
Plans for 2012
Hello again readers,
The new year is a great time to start off again, and as you may or may not of noticed I’ve started to delete and edit old post to bring them up to date or remove whatever I don’t think is quite up to standards. Up coming on this year’s agenda is a DIY on sock monkeys, a few beaded projects, some poems, and many, many more artsy things then any other year. I need to start posting more projects, as many of you have so far requested more tutorials and inspiration for your own crafty endeavours.

2011 in review
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 2,100 times in 2011. If it were a cable car, it would take about 35 trips to carry that many people.
classic beaded peacock necklace
This necklace was inspired by a sale the Michaels was having on their glass pearls. They sold for two for seven dollars and typically, I had to buy a few strands. I got the two types pictured (the whitish-gray and the textured pink) and nabbed the vintage peacock to go with it. In keeping with the theme, I pick a textured chain in a copper/rose colour and picked up three old rings from a secondhand store. I wired together the rings to form a clover like shape, and strung the pearls with a few leftover beads in white and muted orange.I attached the strands to the shafts of the peacock feathers (I used the prescribed loops to hold the peacock straight.) I added a chain and lobster claw clasp, and that’s how I got a beautiful vintage style versatile pearl necklace.
