nettie jane designs....never for the faint of heart

I arrived to the Shoppe this morning to a busted out

glass front door.

Don't know why, don't know who, but do know karma

will take care of them.

It was a very busy day....

I needed serenity and worked on

silk velvet ruched roses while customers shopped.

I refuse to talk anymore about the vandalism....

Talking about it gives it energy....

and it deserves none.

I am going to Canton again this month.....

It always puts a smile on my face.

Stay safe....people out there are crazy :)

Antique Butter Dish Wind Chimes

I wish I could tell you this was a quick and easy project,

But it just wouldn't be true.

It took a lot of manual labor to drill the holes,

flatten the silver utensils....

Then the time consuming process of measuring the chain

and

Putting the whole thing together.

I'm glad I hung in there with it though....

It makes a beautiful sound....

and

You know they say when a chime is heard

an angel gets their wings.

This is a really difficult holiday for my family.

You would think that after 43 years you would

be over the loss of your Daddy.

Just too tragic of a death to ever forget.

Time doesn't make it easier....

Your coping mechanism just gets better.

Have a fun and safe Memorial Day....

Drunk drivers kill.
