All willy nilly

Do you use this word, willy nilly?  Apparently Alice in Wonderland did, describing a place where things happened randomly….all willy nilly.  Willy nilly sounds so silly.

Today I spent some silly moments with my little guy trying to take pictures for his baptism invitation.  The picture will be transformed to look like he’s floating on a cloud.  We had similar pictures made for our other sons.  The oldest even had his picture made to look like an angel (well with a name like Gabriel…), complete with wings and a halo.  This will be my 4th order from Naptime Cards for the occasion.  Nathaniel is a little older than the others were, so I couldn’t get him to lay down and just stay down.   No, he was rambunctious and had to grab those feet!  Now I wonder if I’ll be able to create the look with his legs up in the air like this!  I’ll post a picture of the invitation here once they’re completed. 

I didn’t mention that word willy nilly just in reference to my little guy.   I have a piece of jewelry to show you too…this one has random wire links, a little of this and a little of that.  I do like to make this style bracelet because creating with wire can be fun and whimsical.   I  tied it all together with  consistant glass beads.  You should see these beautiful boro beads in person, such a deep blue encased in clear.

Here’s another piece made with lampwork, this time with a more subtle feel to it.  If you look closely you can see the flower on the pendant that looks a little bit like a Daylily.  It’s almost time for those lilies to come out too.  Tomorrow will be in the high 60s around here!  My kind of weather.  I hope you enjoy your Friday wherever you are.
