The Garden Disc

Inspired by the love of gardening, these pieces have bits of basil leaves, cucumber tendrils, and wolfberries. I'm better at creating these pieces than gardening, but I'll get there.

Enjoy your weekend!

Garden Delights

Our Mint is growing and it smells so good! There's something about enjoying food from your garden. It tastes amazing! I can't wait for the bell peppers, tomatoes, tomatillos, onions, cucumbers and strawberries to grow. I'm addicted to my garden! Especially if you can make one of these after a long hard day...

Mmmm Mojitos!

1.25 oz. Light Rum

12 mint leaves
1 tbsp sugar
0.5 oz fresh lime juice
2 oz tonic water

Place mint leaves, crushed ice, Rum, sugar, and lime juice in a glass and muddle. Add tonic water and garnish with mint leaves.

Enjoy your weekend!

Lady Bugs

I love these little beetles! The first pendant I made was a copper lady bug. I never knew that they swarm together like bees. It turns out that their population rose 15-20% this year. The sight is amazing! I had to share. These little cuties swarm together to feast and mate. What a life! Lady bugs eat aphids (plant lice) whom are plentiful right now because of the high moisture. Aphids are destructive to plants so these lady bugs come to the rescue for farmers & gardeners. I'm trying my hand in gardening this year and learn something new everyday.
