The weather here has been absolutely brutal. The snow’s been on the ground since November and temperatures are often way below zero, not to mention the gusting winds. On some days though, it is beautiful.

Sunny frosty day
Even on horribly freezing, cloudy days –

Needless to say, I’ve stayed indoors a lot – unless I’m walking the dogs or taking pictures, that is.

I’ve kept myself busy making jewelry, soups, bread and dreaming of Spring.

Can’t wait till Spring, or at least for another sunny day.

Just down the road a bit

I'm Zoraida and I design and create handmade, one of a kind jewelry. My work is inspired by the art of ancient world cultures that have endured the shifting trends of fashion.
I prefer to work in copper and semi precious gemstones but also appreciate fine lamp work beads, wood and other artistically crafted materials.

Great photos!! I like snow, but these negative temperatures are too much for me… It amazes me how tiny songbirds flutter about regardless of the weather.
Thanks Shinrin Art! I agree with you. It’s just too much!!! The birds are amazing and I really admire these tiny little beings.
Wonderful pictures! Wow! You are really multi – talented! I look forward to your next post!

Thank you Teresa, what a great compliment !
I love the shapes you have made with the copper earrings, your handmade jewelelry is beautiful and i like the combination of the copper with the semi-precious stones in your other jewelelry designs. If you have to stay inside what better way to spend your time than making beautiful jewellery
Thank you Julie for the awesome compliments! I hope I have time to create jewelry once the warm weather arrives because I’ll be doing a lot of gardening 🙂
