Enough is Enough, No More Snow!

Seriously, it's May 20, it's time for some sunshine and warmth. I've had the fireplace on most of the day and I put a winter coat on to walk the dogs. This is so depressing...

Ok, enough weather talk.

We went to Chinatown on the weekend and along with the bubble tea I picked up a bunch of little Kawaii items that I am working with. Posted my first item a couple of days ago...

The Lucky Cat is a little jingle bell and is surrounded by Chinese coins. This bracelet turned out really well and I'm very pleased with it.

My daughter Liz and I are going back to San Francisco this summer. I love wandering around Chinatown in that city. It's certainly a lot bigger than our version. Last time I was there I picked up a bunch of Lucky Fish and made this bracelet:

I can't wait for our next trip to see what other goodies I can find.

Here's hoping for some sunshine tomorrow!

What's Happening in my Town...

The Calgary Roughnecks won the 2009 NLL Champions Cup. They beat the New York Titans by a score of 12-10. This is the second time in franchise history that the 'Necks have won the Champions Cup and I can proudly say I was there both times. If you've never checked out an NLL game I would strongly suggest getting tickets for next season. The games are fast, rough and loud! Lots of fun and it's still affordable!

Yesterday we walked the B's at Princes Island Park in 24c temperatures and sunshine. Today is cold and wet. Oh how I love Calgary and it's weather!

My garden looks lovely though and yes I have a garden gnome....

We've been enjoying many of the theatre that Calgary has to offer. We recently saw Dirty Rotten Scoundrels at Theatre Calgary, we will be seeing Evil Dead the Musical soon and I just got my tickets for the Lion King in August. We also took in Alberta Ballet's production of Alice in Wonderland. I feel very lucky to live in a city that offers so much. I was disappointed that I missed Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra doing the music of Led Zeppelin. That would have been awesome!

Just a couple more weeks until Spock Days in Vulcan! I will be introducing some new items shortly to go along with it. Stay tuned for the unveiling!

Evil Dead The Musical

We went to Dirty Rotten Scoundrels at Theatre Calgary today. It was a lot of fun. Next we get to go see Evil Dead the Musical. I got the kids tickets to the splatter zone! They are all going to wear new white t-shirts. We'll see how bloody they are after the show. Should be a good time.

I've been working on some geek-jewelry. Should be up on my Etsy page sometime this week.

In the meantime some other geek-wear:

My Robot Love necklace.

Go easy on me I'm new at this

Welcome to my first post on my blog. I wish my daughter was here to help as she is the expert! We went to the Comic Book Convention today and she is still there. I found new inspiration for some jewelry.

So my main point for starting a blog is to showcase my Etsy shop and also to show some items that have caught my eye and given me inspiration on Etsy. I hope you enjoy and I would love to hear some comments.
