Our little Luna got out and headed to the road. It was dark, but not too late, dang time change. I wasn’t able to switch from oxygen plug in machine to an etank in time. Damn car didn’t even stop. I saw it go by as I headed out the door, then heard her yelp, she never made another sound. I found her in middle of road. She was silent but breathing. I picked her up, we both were filled with tears. I repeatedly apologized and kissed her as we returned home. I Called a neighbor who borrowed a car to drive us to an emergency vet. She was actually my son’s doggie but he was out of town. She enjoyed being upstairs with me and her fur friends. Poor Luna tho not crushed open, she had terrible internal injuries. I asked dr to please put her out of her pain. I held her paw and stroked her face as the drug sent her on to the ancestors. Our grief is not as intense as it was. I still cry. My son still misses her so much. I never hated my limitations of this lung disease as much as I did that night. Hit by car 6:24p— put down 7:35p Adopted 2/7/14 died 3/4/24 She laid in her favorite bed off kitchen so my son and her fur siblings could bid farewell. What a shock for him. I didn’t want to text him the upsetting news. He had a long drive back. Her was funeral 3/5/24 My daughter bought flowers and son’s girlfriend, and her siblings were there. Wow dang, I’m crying again!

So I made this jewelry holder from a lovely drift wood I found on my last hiking trip. It’s wrapped with 100% copper wire. Gifted this jewelry holder to a sweet young buddy who needed a something for her stuff. She also picked out a few pieces (not from the photo) to take with her back to Portland.
The necklaces in photo are from my last collection.
It was my last session of pulmanary rehab on 4/4/23 and encouraged to sign up for Maintance sessions. Guess I will. I took earrings to gift away to the ladies. Made me feel happy they got to choose their own preference. Sharing is caring❣️
Man made crystals by top manufacturer Swarovski do have some lead. The crystals offer a beautiful alternative to pricey Natural gemstones. Czech Crystals are a lead free alternative. Just remember if you enjoy extra sparkle look for how it’s cut and an added AB finish will help. Swarovski is well known for how well the crystals pick up the light. 💖
Contemporary Jewelry Handmade in Northern California from the Highest Quality Natural MaterialsI like using strong beading wire, mixed metals, leather, I love turquoise, shells, various gemstones, crystals, bone, ceramic, acrylic beads and good strong crimp beads are a must.There are so many product options out there.I decided to limit my products to mostly North American regions and Mexico. I remember when I first started I purchased some Chinese turquoise and wasn’t too pleased. Then I learned a few of my vendors were selling me Chinese stuff too. There are some quality gemstones mined in China. However knowing the distance traveled made me reconsider and stay within our continent. It’s a big one anyway. Jewelry making helps me relax, I find it therapeutic. My back and fingers get sore but it’s all worth it when I see someone wearing something I’ve made. Darn right Joyous!
