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.

Little Finch Bird & Jewelry

Wow this week sure went by so fast. Here I made a little video today trying to capture video of cute little Finch birds, every time I try to capture them for video they fly away but today one stayed for a second or two. So sweet! I took the video with my Flip Camcorder again. Turned out so great, just wish it was longer. Will try again soon, but it’s suppose to rain all the way until next Friday! Eeeks!
I’ve been told these little birds are the American Gold Finch. I get a lot of them because of this tree and bush we have in our yard called Crape Myrtle. They feed off these bushes and trees we have just about all year long. I never have to put bird seed out for them. They are so happy feeding off the bush, especially winter and spring. During the summer, spring and fall the Hummingbird feeds off this bush and tree. We have four bushes and four trees in our backyard. I believe the varieties of of Crape Myrtle’s we have are, Basham’s Party Pink, Baton Rouge, Biloxi and Byer’s White. But there are so many varieties I would have to take a closer look to be appositely sure.
Both the Finch and Hummingbirds are among my favorites.

It’s a cute little bird don’t you think? Well onto other things like Jewelry! LOL! Here is a bracelet that I made it’s a pet charm bracelet not for your pet but for you. It’s made with pink Grade A Cat’s Eye beads, but you can have it in two colors of blue, purple and green.

http://krystalkats.com/jewels/index.php?item=348 Go ahead and click on the link and see the photo larger and read more about this bracelet. Also available in a Breast Cancer style with a pink or silver ribbon.

It would be a cute Valentine Bracelet as well with a cute little heart charm added to it.

Here is darling pair of earrings thta would be so cute with this bracelet, although I put it at my Artfire Gallery.

I will try to add it to Krystal Kat’s soon!

Be sure to check out the jewelry and my video! have a great weekend. ~Kat

Snow Day Silly Video

On January 2, my husband, daughter and me went to Emigrant Gap, Sierra Mountains in California to play in the snow with our two dogs, Edie our Chihuahua and Effie our Chorkie, that’s half Chihuahua and Yorkshire Terrier. After playing in the snow awhile we stopped in Auburn close to home and had lunch at Marie Callender’s for salad bar and pie. Yummy!

I didn’t think our dog Effie the Chorkie would like the snow at all she hates getting her paws wet, but she loved the snow. Edie our Chihuahua usually loves all things when it comes to going on trips, but hated the snow. So at the end of the movie I am talking to Edie about the snow and she looks pathetic. Almost like she is saying get me out of here. But Effie our black and red dog is chasing snow balls, which I am very surprised about, because she hates getting her paws wet. Anyway we had a great family day. Even though this is not all my family it was still fun.

Again I took this video with my new Flip Camera, I can’t tell you enough how much I love this thing……

Have yourself a lovely Friday evening!

My New Krystal Kat’s Suncatcher Video

Wow! I just love the new Flip Camcorder in HD. It takes fantastic little videos up to 2 hours worth or so and it’s so clear and the price is just right and so tiny you can put it in your pocket and pull it out in an instant. LOVE that feature.

Here is the video I made of my Swarovski Crystal Suncatchers. Check it out!
