Passing Time

"Sometimes I feel that life is passing me by, not slowly either, but with ropes of steam and spark-spattered wheels and a hoarse roar of power or terror. It's passing, yet I'm the one who's doing all the moving." ~Martin Amis

Today I am trying to move slower and slow down a bit. I am enjoying being home alone as the DH is back to work for a few days and our son has gone back to Massachusetts for the week. I have been longing to get back to my work table and create and return to some type of routine. Here is a piece I call "Passing Time" that I finished this morning. You can find this in my Etsy shop. Slow down a bit and enjoy today.

"Time is an equal opportunity employer. Each human being has exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day. Rich people can't buy more hours. Scientists can't invent new minutes. And you can't save time to spend it on another day. Even so, time is amazingly fair and forgiving. No matter how much time you've wasted in the past, you still have an entire tomorrow." ~Denis Waitely



My clock is a little out of wack...getting up too early and going to bed too late. I will soon adjust. I wanted to share a few of my watch part pins. I created these using antique and vintage watch parts and coating them with a thick clear sealer. A time collage if you will...




I also have been busy creating earrings, still in the mode after creating a pair for the Thanksgiving Earring Exchange hosted by Leslie Zable of Bei Mondi. I popped mine in the mail a few days ago and can't wait to see what I will receive as part of the exchange.
Here are a few pictures of what I made in the past few days.
