I hate starting posts off on a negative note, but today I'm going to do just that. Monday was a very sad day at my house. I found my outdoor kitty, Kona, dead in my yard. It was horrible. The ground has been frozen from all the weather we're getting, so I have not been able to bury him yet. I hope to do that this weekend, if the weather holds.
Here's a picture of the poor little guy, taken when he was a wee little guy, at a cottage I used to live at in rural Virginia. I don't have the words to say how much I'm going to miss him. Just last week he was following me and the dogs as we took a walk around the neighborhood. Kona was MY first cat (my family did have one cat), and he is the first of MY pets that have ever died. So its been hard to get through. It makes me appreciate how short life really is, and to never take anything for granted, because you never know when your life can radically change. This has made me become more mindful of every moment I have spent with coworkers, friends, or pets since then.
I have added some new earrings to
the etsy shop. The pair I added today is made with pheasant tail feathers, hackle, and some body feathers.
The earrings are orange, brown, and tan colored. They are wire-wrapped with black coated wire and hung in sterling silver ear hooks. I will be adding one pair a day for the next week, so keep your eyes peeled in the shop for those!
I just realized I haven't posted many of my wire wrapped earrings here on the blog, so I felt like I'd share some photos of those with you. They are all available on
the etsy shop as well as
my personal webpage store. The store on my webpage doesn't have all my inventory (yet), but I'm working on it.
These are made with natural grizzly rooster feathers overlaid with peacock body feathers and wrapped in purple wire, set in gunmetal earring hooks. These have been fairly popular and I have received many compliments!
Have a good rest of the week everyone. Be in the moment and be kind to one another..
