I love this time of year. The flowers are blooming and the wind's not too horrible...yet! There's lovely smells to be smelt, like the honey suckle and jasmine in my garden and the peonie roses in my vase. Loving it!

My new focus
A while back I was suffering from mild depression as I was having health problems and I was getting bogged down with negativity. Then one of my dearest, oldest friends came to visit me and recommended starting a journal in which you forced yourself to think about one good thing every day. (It had worked for her, she said). I thought, "I love you and I respect your views and would benefit from your experiences so I'll give a whirl. And it worked!!! So now I'm going to try it here with my blog to try to counteract the negativity we are surrounded with in our lives and in the media (bad stories sell more papers it seems).
Please feel free to add your own good things to my blog but try to keep them to one a day so we don't run out! Looking forward to hearing them. Much love, Renee.
Day one's good thing = My Christmas Lily bulbs are poking ever so slightly up from the ground. I just adore growing my own flowers and I was worried with all the rain we had had that the bulbs might have rotted away in the ground. They haven't!!! OH JOY!

Pohutukawa leaf jewelry
I bought the pohutukawa leaf card ages ago and have also collected leaves like this when I travel to the North Island. I've been wanting to make some and today when I was sick with a cold I did. In between feeling pretty sorry for myself too! They've turned out really well although a couple have my hair in them. Adds to the charm? Will post some more pics when I make them into some piece of jewelry.

Cell1
My latest creation. Can't wait until the day when I can be a jeweller instead of a teacher. Or maybe just a part time teacher and a part time jeweller so I get some variety! Open to ideas.

A bad day!
Why is it that some people can look you in the eye and just lie. Do they think that they'll never get found out, that if they say it with enough conviction then they'll get away with it?! And why lie about dumb stuff that doesn't really matter anyway. What's the point? And the worst liars are the people who think they're better than you, maybe that's how they justify it to themselves.
Luckily it's Friday and I have American Idol, jewellery making and felting to keep me happy.
