"I Heart Macro" Sunday

Time for "I heart macro" Sunday.  Here is the picture I posted today, maybe just a little late. 

It is the tail light on my car.

If you want to participate, join us at Studio Waterstone by clicking on this box or on the one in my sidebar.

New Earrings in the Shop

Here are some new earrings just put in the shop - a little summery yellow-orange and some lime-green and black.  Slowly but surely I am getting items listed. 

Then I need to make new business cards, clean the studio, take more photos, make more beads and the list goes on.  And I just got a call for a custom chain maille bracelet.  Back to work.

Happy Mother's Day!

To all the mothers, grandmothers, mothers-to-be, stepmothers, godmothers, adopted mothers, and just-like-a-mothers - Happy Mother's Day to you! 

And a big thank you to my daughter and son for these lovely flowers,

and the clever note attached by my son (ever the aspiring comedian).

Dearest Mother,

Thine are my mother and thine are my parental unit.  Thineth motherhood be in the parental unit forever and within thee.

Lovest always your kinfolk, Lord Ryan & Jester Megan

And that is why I am smiling (and laughing) today!

I Heart Macro with Studio Waterstone

I heart macro with Studio Waterstone.  I think I have finally figured out how to take part in this close up photography activity.  Hop on over to her blog and check it out.  And then enter your close up or macro shot.  Here is my first shot:

Then I figured out that I had linked back to Lori's blog instead of mine so I entered another one.  You can see each little "hair" on the dandelion.  Isn't that amazing?

New Etsy Shop Finally!

I finally took the plunge and opened my Etsy shop.  You can find my shop here at Dillman's Diversions.  I am busy getting my jewelry and beads listed.  Who knew how many pictures are needed?  Whew!  And not only the number of pictures, but they need to be good ones.  And then there are the descriptions to write.  But I am jumping in and getting started.  This is my first item:

Turquoise and Ivory

Lampwork Bead Earrings

with Sterling Silver Findings and Dangles

Check out the shop and let me know what you think!  If anyone is using Etsy and has essential advice for beginners, please pass it on to me.

Thanks for visiting,
Carol
