The Whole Wide World

Here is what I did yesterday while Babysitting the cutest little guy ever!

(s)He's got the whole world in (her)/his hands...ha

I had to make an errand run to Michael's to make something for a friend of mine, and while there, I spotted this spinning World pendant. Had to have it. Immediately.

So I purchased it, added a turquoise (earth colored) stone, and attached it to a long length of silver chain. And Voila! A new necklace in about 3 minutes...gotta love making jewelry!

I really like the length of the necklace too, hits mid chest - perfect for pairing with a shorter necklace for a great layered look.

What do you think? I'm also a fan of the picture...

A Day Off

Today, I took a mental health day.

My mom used to insist on my taking these back in High School, because I would work myself to the bone, often getting super stressed out, and then I would inevitably break down. So, mental health days were my saving grace. Oddly enough, I never WANTED to take them, I always thought of those things left on the continual to do list, the things I had to get done...

I've realized that those things can wait. That list will still be there, but I don't have to check them all off in one day. Therefore, today I took a mental health day, and am not going to worry about my to-do list.

Instead, this is what I am focusing on:

 Sewing. Coffee. Computer. Bliss....

Here is to mental health days! I hope you and I always have the opportunity to take them!

Each one of these makes me think of bliss.
