JaM Favorite Bling..............




                                                             
                           JaM this week is your favourite BLING


                                               that


                                     Makes your heart SING................


Over the years Bob has brought me numerous pieces of bling which i adore and are very special...................... but at the moment i just love wearing my three silver bracelets.








Handmade by a silver smith in the little hill-top town of San Gimignano in Italy.
 I spent a day in this wonderful little town of towers last year during my exciting trip last year ...........some photos here           

When  wear them I'm constantly reminded of this special time...............
which for me was quite a personal journey........... the wonderful people I met, places I visited,fantastic food and the friends I made .........................

Find out what makes Jody's   heart sing..............

JaM W.I.P.........................

Running late again....................... wish there were more hours in the day to 

Read more books

Weed the Garden

Visit friends / share a meal or coffee

Visit the big smoke (Melbourne) and my children

Go Shopping

And maybe finish these W.I.P's  ....................................

I'm a tad embarrassed with the amount of w.i.p. i have!! 
As soon as the new living room/kitchen was finished i brought SOME of them out of storage, this picture shows them lined up next to the kitchen table just waiting for me to find the time........ well actually the motivation to get stuck into them. 
              
                                                 

Upon further inspection of the pile the oldest w.i.p would have to be these blocks of small squares which i plan to make into cushions for a couple of old cane chairs. (will look great on the new veranda) 








                 Cutting it a bit fine but Joining in with Jody and JaM 


                 Go on drop by and take a look at other's W.I.P's
