Not Just a Bunch of Pretty Rocks

Do you know that certain stones are attributed to have healing qualities.  Are you a little tired and run down?  Carnelian is an energy booster.  This pretty orange stone is believed to boost energy.  
Rose Quartz is the love stone and it helps the wearer feel a strong sense of self worth.
Turquoise if given to a friend protects the wearer from negative energy.
I had the materials to make these healing bracelets forever and then a friend, Heather, from Planet Botanix posted some pictures of bracelet she made.  They inspired me to finally get them done! 
Stones used: Carnelian, Rose Quartz, Amethyst, Labradorite, Sodalite, Hematite, Snowflake Obsidian, Bronzite, Turquoise and Chrysocolla.
Funny, I feel the best I have all week after handling all these beautiful stones!

Gearing Up!

I know I should be working year round getting ready for my busiest season but life always seems to get in the way...gardens, biking, playing outside...but once the cool weather comes I tend to nestle down inside and work like one of Santa's elves getting everything ready.
The last few days have been very productive working with my favourite medium: crocheted wire.  It somehow makes me forget that the days are shorter and the temperatures are hovering around freezing....
