I worked on a couple of cat designs while I was watching it :) The arrowhead I made before bed last night. I added a few simple wire wraps and some small turquoise and jasper mix bead I had . THen i wire wrapped  a bunch of  beads and made into cute necklaces......they are gifts  for some folk at work ..

Carrot , Pumpkin and Bran muffins

Since I tend to eat on the go anymore it is a challenge to eat healthy when I am so busy. So i whipped up these yummy muffins this morning...I took a can of peaches...2 cups of grated white pumpkin from my garden ...2 carrots grated up......3 cups of museli bran cereal ..threw raisins and some nuts in that i had in the pantry...add a cup of butter and 3 cups of flour..2 eggs and the juice from the peaches.2 tbls cinnamon and 1/2 cup of sugar . Baked at 375 till done . Just a hint of sweetness and really good with a glass of cold milk.

I needed a new cell phone holder so i used a small piece of embroidered denim and made a bag to fit the cell phone ...added some fringe and some beads . Now I can tuck my cell phone in it when i am working out in the yard.....
