Fathers day key chains

The pool at High Camp ~ Squaw

It's been a busy week and will continue on through the end of July. I closed last week getting the Father's day key chains sent out. I hope the Dads liked their key chains or at least needed them!

My week started out wonderful! It began with the reflections of my quick 24 hour trip to Tahoe to visit my son and his sweets.

The highlight was going up to High Camp at Squaw, a place that I love love love going to! We took Simes to the place he once played as a puppy and the memories were suddenly refreshed as soon as he stepped paw at that 8,200 elevation. Not a soul in the pool, it was freezing due to the wind gusts. The back drop was breath taking and as always I came home inspired and have no time to make the many things that are dancing around in my mind (soon to my sketch pad).

Tonight I'm going to Brenda's to cast... well, hopefully ;-) I played with my wax last week and have a few flasks ready to sprue up.... can't wait! I love Tuesday nights, Brenda has every tool you could imagine in her studio along with the BEST group of fellow jewelry designers.

The week ending we'll be building on the studio, I'll be shopping for old lighting,doors windows and a little more land scaping.
