Last year I took a metal smithing class at @cloudnineobx . I was super excited and bought all the supplies I needed. I started to make a ring and then let it sit for an entire year!! A whole year!! 🙈 I made excuses all year not to go and try. I was nervous of messing up. I was intimated about all the beautiful things I’ve seen on Instagram. I was worried that someone would say, “oh boy another sea glass jeweler”. 😔 All the while I just kept putting my desire on the back burner until today. I scheduled it in my calendar, amped myself up all week and finally dove back in. And you know what?! Nothing bad happened. I just had so much fun!! So go do that thing you want to do! Don’t put it off any longer. ➡️ Swipe to see last years ring. These are from today which are not set or complete yet. 🔨 If you’re interested in taking a class locally @cloudnineobx has several going this weekend from the 13-15!
Wanna know a secret? More often than I’d like to admit, I see things on Instagram that make me forget how lucky I am. 🏝 I’ll see pictures of tropical shells, blue seas, and beautiful jungles and think, “man I wish I was there. ” 🐚 I think about how beautiful my wall hangings would be if I lived in Florida or Hawaii. ✨ But you know what? I live in a beautiful place, with amazing people. My wall hangings are already pretty, and I am blessed AF to be alive and here and now. 💙 We can get so caught up with our daily “need to do” that we forget to appreciate what we already have. Yeah, it’s fantastic to dream, but don’t forget to appreciate what’s already there. How would it be possible for the Universe, God, Spirit, whatever you call IT to give you more if you’re not grateful for what’s already in your life? Who agrees?! 🙋🏻‍♀️ P.S. this shell was NOT found on #OBX it was a gift from @coastalsunshinetreasuresllc
When I moved to the #OuterBanks I bought a cheap wood burning kit. I tried it on one piece of wood and was over it. 💙 Over the the last two years I’ve been thinking , “hmmm I need to try that again.” 📝 After my surf camp with @outerbabessurf where we not only learned how to surf but worked on art, my love of drawing came back! ✨ In hindsight I see that I wasn’t quite ready to work with a #pryrography pen, but I’m excited to now. 💙 I can’t express how much I love the look of the wall hangings with this little detail! Do you prefer it with or without the drawing?
Sunday’s have to be my favorite day of the week. A day of preparation for a new beginning. The house is clean, my planner is prepped for the week and the gym is calling! Are you ready for Monday?
How’s your weekend going now that all the holiday festivities are in full swing?! 🎄 We’re enjoying Christmas movies and baking cookies for the wonderful people at the post office that are always so kind, but often treated poorly this time of year (well all the time). 🎁 What are you up to today?! 🐚 Swipe to see what this beautiful whelk is attached to! Now in the shop.
I took the day off today, it was definitely worth IMO✨🌊💙
