May Flowers -- Part 1

I shared some new flowers that I was making on Facebook.  But I still haven't finished any pins or headbands with them.  Maybe later, but they won't make it in time for this month's sale.  Very appropriate that the theme this month is flowers.  :-)

Here are a few of my wide headbands.  These are my favorite in looks, but I can't wear the wide ones.

 So I found some EXTREMELY thin headbands and added smaller, more colorful, flowers to them.  I think these would be really cute on a little girl... or Jordy.  She always looks good with flowers in her hair!

 And if you like GIANT flowers, how about this one?

 Here's an option if you don't want it in your hair.  This one is actually attached to the beads but you could take a hairclip or pin and add it to a necklace.

Another place to wear a flower -- your wrist.

I'm taking all these over to Room With a Past today to set up for next week's sale!  Hope to see you there!

And I'll have some more flower photos to share tomorrow.

Black Diamond Hike

Today's hike was at the Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve in Antioch.  There were several small towns in the area at one time & they mined coal & sand, took them down to the port in Pittsburg, & transported them up the river to Sacramento & other places inland.  The website has a lot more info.
This kind of reminded me of some of the places Daddy used to take us on vacation!  There was a group about to go in but we didn't get there in time to buy tickets.  Anyway, we came to hike today!
Here's me & my hiking sticks.  Good for pulling me up the hill, stopping me when I'm sliding down, keeping my balance, & fighting off wild chipmunks.
Of course, we had to take a picture of ourselves.  
It kept getting colder & windier (supposed to start raining later today) & by the time we got up to the cemetery, it was REALLY cold!  I wonder why the cemetery was at the top of the hill?

Hey, SE, look what I found!  It's springtime!!!
