Named for my sister Tammy-a Survivor

Named for my sister Tammy-a Survivor by nettieblo featuring a chain handbag

This is my entry for my sister Tammy who survived Breast Cancer while she was also surviving the wrath of Hurricane Katrina...she is the Ultimate Survivor!!!

                      This is the beauty of nature...the true artist!  Sad though that this beautiful bird consumed all of the items he did...ADAPTING TO MAN'S PRESENCE!

Went out on a friends boat for her birthday yesterday (Sunday) and saw one of the most spectacular views of the pass and then to top it off there was the sunset.  All of the other boats had left so we had this tremendous view to enjoy...it was a rarity but very much appreciated all of it's beauty!!!

New Necklaces on etsy

You can find these both at netteblo.etsy.com

I am starting a new line of purses, clutches and bags.  This new line is called "erla" which is short for ella rein laurel ava, which are the names of my two grandaughter's.  The different styles of bags will also be named after my family and friends, each style being a different name.  I will be using woven uphostery fabrics that were designer samples, to make these purses, therefore they will be recycled or up-cycled.  I am excited about adding this to the repitoire of work that I am now doing!
Keep an eye on my etsy shop where you will see them added as they are completed, photographed and uploaded to my etsy site!

Working late or what?

Seems like I am forever at my office until the late hours of the night but this is the only way to get anything done is to be on the internet on my MAC after work hours.  It is 7:49 p.m. and I am still here although it is not all work..working on some blogs for the business and for my personal one.  So for all purposes and intents I am working late, right?

Going home to Mississippi then coming back home to Florida

It is always a strange experience when I go back home to visit my entire family on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.  When i get there I miss my home and pets in Florida.  Then it comes time for me to leave Mississippi and I get all emotional.  When I actually am back in Florida, I then miss being in Mississippi and my friends and family there.  I don't think I will ever figure this out.
