random shots: pizza & jewelry

i like pizza. (and turtles...)

ice cold gingey (ginger ale) in the classic celtics mug.  reminds me of my dad and being little.

nicey icey.

so i've started a new job.  it's pretty cool, but i'm still in my shy stage.  hopefully i'll get into my groove and get more comfortable soon. 

and back to my etsy fun.  here's some more photos of the jewelry (that i've taken with my new camera--woohoo!) so far:

New year, new post!

Happy 2013!  Guess who just got a new DSLR camera? The Canon Rebel T4i, I'm still getting used to this baby but I'll post my photos- even though I'm clearly a newb to photography!

This morning I had some breakfast and took some photos of my jewelry to add to my Etsy shop.  I have a lot more necklaces to go through, this one will be a whole post of its own!

Afterwards I took a trip down the block to the brook to see what was going on and try to get some photos.  I was in luck! Just as I walked up, two ducks came swimming on down looking for some food.

Now it's time to get moving.  Off to home depot for some spray paint and miscellaneous crafting supplies.  Time for some crafts to show up on this blog!

glass mosaic work.

My little closeup shot preview to my table I've been fixing up! More below ;)
Closeup shot + my shadow.

Just starting out, nothing is glued down as of yet in this shot..

Making progress, day two or three...


Closeup end of day three shot :) I like the colors, 
I think it has an almost mediterranean feel!

 I made a new mural for the cottage this year, my little tradition. It's a little less extensive than in previous years, but still very typical of the cottage. some shots below!!
(check out my ode to the cottage post to see murals from the last few years!)

New cottage mural 2010!! :)

Along with that, Drew and I worked on grouting the table we started. I think it looks preeeeeeeeeetty damn good, if I say so myself!

Picture from after we wiped off the first layer of grout. Still not done-- almost....
I've also been working on my garage sale table project. i think it's coming along nicely, especially from what it looked like before (see my previous post if you want to see a before picture ;] ) spray painted it white from the dingy, crusty old (piece of crap) looking table and got started on laying out the glass!

Aaahhh, here is the final result! Bright and colorful, I love it.
Next step is to waterproof it, but we decided to save that for another day.

ENJOY THE WEEKEND!
