Gimme back my bullets

I needed more .38 shells so my husband took me out to the club to see if we could get more. Since it was cold AND the day before Christmas Eve, no one was out kerplunking. We found buckets of shells but very few .38's. I use the .38's to make my Pray for our Troops necklaces. I listed several shells in my Attic Rat Etsy shop since I won't live long enough to use all the shells I hauled home

Here are some clever ways people use spent bullets. Very creative:

Taking a header

All of the little goodies that I ordered lately are starting to arrive so I get to PLAY! I just finished this steampunk necklace and wrote a little story to go with it. It's fun to develop a story that fits the pieces. Here is the story that I wrote to go with this one:


One evening at the pub, his friends challenged him to a race across France. What could he say? He couldn't let his friends know that he didn't even own a bicycle. He had to borrow his Dad's old bicycle. The bicycle kind of scared him. It was one of those darn penny-farthing bicycles. He had taken so many headers on that stupid contraption. The worst spill was right in front of a group of young women that he had been trying to impress. He was utterly humiliated. Now, he had the possibility of going over the handlebars in front of everyone . . .

Let's Face It

Patty Ann of TheSunnySideBiz put this ArtFire collection together entitled, Lets Face It. She featured my face pendant in her list of the "faces of ArtFire". Be sure to stop by her shop. She is a seamstress and sews beautiful items. She has been sewing most, if not all, of her adult life and her fine craftsmanship is evident. :D

rabbits anyone?

Ruthie, of Rose Works Jewelry has put together a treasury of bunny rabbits. I was thrilled to see that she included my Nodderhead Rabbit. You can't be too careful with rabbits. They tend to multiply!
