The lovely spring weather in pdx is giving me slight cabin fever… mix the rain with endless job searching and avoiding all the wonderful shopping opportunities in order to save money, and I am feeling kind of cooped up. But, hopes are high from interviews and the sun will be out soon!
I spent some time crafting some new jewelry out of old trinkets I have been hoarding. (It was worth it- HA!) I had some miscellaneous broken earrings and necklaces, some new charms and connector-things (sorry for getting so technical), and I took apart some other jewelry I owned to craft up some fun new pieces that I can’t wait to wear!
My favorite one I put together involved turning a whistle into a lighthouse in order to create– my favorite– a nautical theme!

I think we will get out of the house tonight to celebrate another weekend in Portland, so I can show off my work. Bottoms up!
