My amazing friend Jaylene and I spent time together yesterday at a fundraiser for #FreshStartWomensFoundation. We talked about losing our Moms. She bought this centerpiece from our table and gave it to me. It's huge and gorgeous and my Mom would have loved it. Hug your mom if you can!❤️

Weekend run up to the mountains. Escaping the heat here is always a good thing. Penstemon (pretty sure) near Payson Arizona. #nature #flower #wildflowers #ExploreArizona but be safe and carry lots of water!

Moss! #theJungleBox in Phoenix is the most fun place to go! You can see tiny dart frogs, buy houseplants, and even take a class to build your own vivarium. I have to ration my visits. Otherwise I would spend all my money there. Oh, and the people are SO nice❤️

Happy National Dog Day! Puppies visited work from the Humane Society today, so I got puppy kisses. Lee isn't jealous, though ❤️

#ArizonaHumaneSociety is the place to adopt a pet. Sushi is settling in nicely. #kitty #cat #InCharge . Now we just have to get past her urge to beat the dog up. She's 6 pounds. He's about 40 pounds.🫣

Yesterday morning. Walking the dog for a few minutes before work. Sunrise in Scottsdale Arizona. We seldom have clouds, and when we do it's always spectacular! #nature #mindfulness #breathe

Wow, what a busy weekend. Took Lee to the river for water play. The Salt River is VERY COLD. Forgot that. Swam 1/2 mile at the pool this morning. Spent time beading, cross stitching and crocheting. Here's the cross stitch WIP. I love this color printed pattern. Am I lazy?😂🎉

Cherry shrimp. This is the baby, it's about 1/4 inch long, the damn crop cut out the adult at the bottom of the photo. Ah well. #aquarium #aquaria #nature Yes, the roots are a bunch of cuttings from my houseplants taking over every available spot in our apartment.

Lee and I ventured up to Payson this morning to spend some time in the quiet. Birds, tiny minnows and crawdads, dragonflies, butterflies. Needed that. Did a little cross-stitch and a little embroidery too. #nature #trees #DogMom He found a cow pat to roll in, but thankfully it was dry.🎉

Measured the hatband about a hundred times. Put it down 2 weeks ago to reset my brain. Came back to it and started attaching it to the hat and... Voila! 3 inches short! #SeedBeads #peyotestitch #fringestitch Dontcha just hate that 🫣 Ah well TGIF.

Can't decide. Sea anemone? Cactus? Tiny spiky monster who needs to open his eyes? #3Dbeads #peyotestitch #RightAngleWeave #3Dart #ArtIsTherapy for those of us with OCD, especially.

Teeny tiny jellyfish - earrings. Writing up instructions for my step by step tutorial. When I decided to do this, I had no clue how involved it would be to create directions that are actually useful #seedbeads #peyote #RightAngleWeave #delicaBeads #3Dbeads #MakeYourOwn #ArtIsTherapy

Pods! From a pattern by Helena Tang Lim. Super fun to make! #delicaBeads #seedBeadArt #3Dbeads #beadSculpture These are not as complicated as they look! The hardest part is finding the acrylic beads to bead around!

And here's step 9 & 10. #beadedstarfish can be a real pain to make. But only the first 13 times. My dream is to help other people figure it out without quite so much cursing involved. #3Dbeads #delicabeads #crafts #seedbeads #3Dstarfish #seedbeadsculpture #harnessYourOCD #artIStherapy
