Better late to the party than not at all! I’m talking “i heart macro” Sundays with Lori of Studio Waterstone. Visit her blog if you haven’t already done so and you’ll see so many examples of amazing photography!
My pictures today are from my 6 year old’s Cub Scout end-of-the-year party. With summer vacation just around the corner (thank goodness), I decorated a cake in the ultimate summer theme – the sea! I had some fun with rolled fondant and whatever I could add to top off the cake. It seems one of my boys ate the entire bag of Swedish fish, or they would have been swimming in the frosting as well. I took a bit of creative license here as the pictures are on the “close-up” side as opposed to real macro shots.
Thank you for stopping by, I always appreciate your visit!
Have a great week ahead!

Welcome, first of June! And Jack Rabbit (a tradition we say on the 1st of the month for good luck).
It’s Bead Table Wednesday and I’m sliding in just in the nick of time. To see what’s on the tables of your fellow jewelry designing friends, please visit Heather Powers’ BTW flickr pool here.
I recently pulled out my (dusty) metal stamps to complete a custom bracelet, so I decided to make an extra metal link. “Make a Wish”….. I find that I’ve been doing just that lately when out and about with my 2-year-old son. He’s caught on that we blow on dandelions and watch the seeds fly – the wishing part will come next.
It’s also been a while since I made a wire bangle, so I pulled out some pretty lampwork beads by Dawn White, a flower disc by Blue Seraphim, and some large-hole sterling silver beads. By using nickel silver with copper to create the stamped metal link, and by using copper wire, I was able to cut down on the awfully high cost of sterling silver components. I miss using sterling silver with abandon.
I’ll add this one to my shop soon. (Sold, thank you).
Thanks for stopping by!

I’ve been wanting to join in the “i heart macro” fun ever since Lori started this great blog-photo-sharing idea! I don’t need a lot of encouragement to get my camera out, so this Sunday I’m finally joining in! If you’d like to join in, please visit Lori’s blog, Studio Waterstone.
I took a few macro shots while out enjoying the sun, on the bayside in Ocean City.
