tarot of the day

Tarot Card: Two of Swords
Character: Pat
Upright Meaning: Friendship. A true friend who shines through in a tough situation.
Reversed Meaning: Falsehood. A friend who fails you at a critical time. Dishonesty.
Questions: Who is your best ally in this situation? What are his/her motives?
Advice: Be careful not to take advantage of a relationship for your own personal gain. Take the advice of a friend or give a piece of good advice to someone who needs it.

Well, the question of the day is sort of a "what now?" Pat. She's a busybody for sure. She has so much going at a time that one assumes she's trying to hide from real life in empanadas and The Deep End of the Ocean. But she has a good heart. Too bad she ends up a zombie demon and gets taken out with a shovel.

What struck me, not surprisingly, at first glance was the necklace. Here it is. I wish I could find a better photo.

I love big jewelry. I think I will go make some.

necklaces!

The good thing about spending 10 years making beads is that then you can make a necklace that has one of each. Well, OK, not really, because that necklace would be about 4 miles long...


Rainbow necklace
Length: 30 inches (76 cm)
No clasp
Beads: polymer clay canework, glass, wood, metal, vintage, plastic, Swarovski crystal
------------


And this set I made for myself. It has a variety of wood, glass, vintage, metal, shell and other beads. The focal beads are polymer clay with a simple jellyroll canework design.

Name that tune #14

Here are the rules: Each name that tune post will show a set of photos from etsy artists - together, they will represent a song. Leave a comment telling me what the song is. All the correct answers will go in a hat (OK, well, an envelope actually), and once a month there will be a random drawing for a prize of polymer clay or hand-stamped goodness! Make sure your comment includes a way to contact you. Comments will be unscreened after each contest, so don't post your phone number, OK? (Click the photo for a bigger version.)

Hint: this one is from a children's movie of yesteryear, one of my favorites!

Beans with curry

Here's a tasty dish I made last night - vegetarian, healthy and fabulous!


Saute chopped sweet onion in olive oil.

Add spices: curry, coriander, garlic powder (fresh probably would have been better!) and black pepper.
Add: 1 can black beans, 1 can pinto beans, 1 can diced tomatoes, about 1 cup frozen peas.

Cook.

The Scoobies have been framed

Sometimes I play at a livejournal community called still_grrr, wasting time with fanfic and fanart and generally being a fangirl. Anyway, this week's prompt was basically to insert yourself into the story or art. So I put Buffy and pals into DivaDea photo frames. Heehee!





If you want a frame, go to divadea.etsy.com. If you want photos of the Scooby gang around your house like they're your friends and family? Well, I can't really help you with that. But if you find a good therapist, perhaps you could give me a referral...
