Blossoms

After finally getting well from three sinus infections over the fall, winter, and spring, I am well–I hope–after almost two weeks of laryngitis, steroids, antibiotics and new asthma inhalers. Yeah. I’m really, really over it. Bleh! The smoke from the fires last Fall and the extreme changes in the weather here this winter have set off asthma that I’ve never experienced before. Needless to say, I haven’t accomplished much creatively.

This week I did get well enough to venture out to take some pictures of the apple blossoms.

Enjoy! Aren’t they lovely? We probably won’t get any apples from them. Usually, the squirrels and deer beat us to them, but I still love knowing they’re there and enjoying the blossoms, and the squirrels and the deer.

I have done beadwork for over 25 years and got so interested in jewelry design that I took two metalwork classes at Arrowmont School of Arts & Crafts in Gatlinburg, Tennessee from wonderful teachers Deborah Lynn Gold and Marjorie Simon. I can't choose a favorite medium. I love sculptural work and adore forming and fabricating metals, but three-dimensional beadwork is more colorful. I sew a lot! Lately I've been making lots of purses and wallets as well as upcycling used clothing into new items. Lately I've gone back to sewing and refashioning cast-off clothing–mostly men's shirts, into girls' clothing. I also enjoy making handbags and wallets. They are really fun to put together–like a puzzle. View all posts by denise
