Pussy Willows

I love pussy willows, I have always loved them! They remind me of my childhood. My grandma used to have a pussy willow tree in her yard it was such a beautiful tree. Though I am not sure what happened to it because it is gone now. I also used to go canoeing along the Saskatchewan river where the rivers edge was covered in pussy willows and cats tales. (Love those too!)

I have been trying to figure out a way to make a pussy willow necklace and now that I am cutting shapes out of metal with my new favourite tool, the saw I think I can do it! I am super excited to try it. I have been sketching the perfect pattern and I am finally ready to put the saw to metal! So hopefully I can post some pictures later today or tomorrow.

For now enjoy some of my pussy willow find from around the web.

First Day Present

Today is my son's first day of preschool. How exciting is that! He is going to a Montessori school and I can't wait to get to here about all the things he learns there. On Saturday I was cutting out a plane for a necklace I was going to make, when my son came in and asked me what I was doing. As soon as I said it was a plane he was so excited. So while finishing the plain up I thought about how much he would love to have it. So I decided to give it to him to use as a zipper pull on his new back pack.
I guess I will have to make another one for the necklace I had in mind. :)
