I Have a New Shop - Shiny MoonBeams Shop

Hello, once again another month has nearly passed……just a few more days and February will be all gone. It’s raining cats and dogs right now.

This week my husband and I took a ride out to the country, that’s about a 3 minute drive from our house, but we ended up in a great spot to photograph birds, a California birding  hot spot, off Brewer and Nicolaus in the western edge of Placer County. I have a nice DSLR camera it’s great for your first DSLR camera. Mine is a Sony a300. I really love this camera, it’s been fun learning to use it and some day when I understand all these functions then I can progress to a more complicated camera, but for now this is perfect for me.

Anyway I got this nice shot of a Male Nuttall’s Woodpecker.

Isn’t he gorgeous! we have these at the house too sometimes I hear them pecking away, but I’ve never captured one in a photograph before so, it was pretty exciting for me.

Okay so onto Jewelry. I have opened a new shop, I put it together myself and have been working on it off and on for a few months. This shop is going to be for Beach Style Jewelry, a handbags that I am going to make and a surprise which I will talk about when the time is right.

Please visit my new shop, I hope you like it, I designed it myself. It’s suppose to be very California looking and very beach thened and all about girls and very retro.

Go check it out! Shiny MoonBeams Shop.

It took me awhile to get it the way I wanted it to look. Now I just have to get busy making my handbags.

I plan on making several styles to start with, the beach retro girls, birds (No Kidding!), sugarskulls and pets (Dogs and Cats). Those are the themes I plan on concentrating on to start with.

Please be sure to stop in my new shop and post a comment if you like the new shop at the bottom of each page. I really would appreciate it.

Here are several shell earrings I have made

Well there you have it, until next time have a great weekend! ~Kat

Valentine’s, Rainbows and Birds

I have been such a busy girl today! it was a pretty nice day then just a bit ago the sky opened up and it rained cats and dogs.

I managed to get a gorgeous photo of an American Finch today. Isn’t she so pretty?
I think she might be having babies, she is a lot chunkier then the others I’ve seen.

I’m not sure, but it might be a Lesser Gold Finch.

Before I snapped that Finch photo I made a video for my Crystal Psalm 23 Bracelet and Rainbow Suncatchers for my Krystal Kat’s website. I made a video to show off my Psalm 23 bracelet and my Rainbow suncatcher.

Okay well I want to be sure I get this out before I take off for some shut eye, don’t forget about Valentine’s Day!
I have lots of cute Jewelry and Suncatchers that would make perfect gifts for your Valentine’s.

Finally A Sunny Day!

After over a week of rain until and now we have a tiny bit of sunshine today. Oh how I love sunshine! that’s the wonderful thing about living in California is we are so blessed with lots and lots of sunshine. Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. Most our days are sunshine and southern California has even more then us. In the Northern end, we actually have much colder weather then the southern end in certain parts.

Last week on January 19th, in between storms I tried to video capture some Robins. I see lots of different birds each day, so I will try to video capture as many as I can through the year.

Well I want to tell you about some very attractive Psalm 23 The Lord Shepherd of His People, A Psalm of David Bracelet I made in 14K gold filled and Copper style. I also have Sterling Silver styles available at my Crystal Jewelry & Crystal Suncatcher site.

I have a whole page dedicated to this bracelet, check it out by clicking on this link.
