I should have posted about this a long time ago. At least the new year has me cleaning house of sorts. The <a href="http://tangleweeds-jewelry.com/journal/" target="_blank">Tangleweeds blog</a> has moved over to the new <a href="http://tangleweeds-jewelry.com/" target="_blank">Tangleweeds website.</a> I've got lots of great posts in the work for 2014.

It's a gorgeous drive getting out there, but not so far that you're stuck in a car for hours and hours. Even if all you have is just a day, I highly recommend it as a way to re-charge one's batteries, so to speak!</div>

May, oh how you have flown by! Really flown by! I've been busy at work, spiffying up my studio, prepping for the summer craft fair season, and taking a (gasp!) vacation to Calistoga as a late birthday present with my sweetie.</div>

Mostly, I just wanted to drop by to say hello and say I'm thinking of you guys, my readers. I'm going to have photos from Calistoga in the next week, so that's something. In the meantime, I hope everyone is having a wonderful springtime season!</div>

Jeff and I took a day trip to Point Reyes this past Saturday. It was the perfect antidote to my busy jewelry making days. Our one day trip was a nice reminder that you can get away and have a new expeirence (in a beautiful place!) even if all you have is just a single day. . .<br />

It's funny how when I have the least amount of time for designing and scheming up new pieces, that is EXACTLY when I get flooded with new ideas. Figures! Early morning coffee here with my sketch book.</div>

My nephew being a goof ball. Got to hang out with him and his mom this past weekend. Sort of impromptu, spontaneous fun. Sometimes my life gets so packed full it's difficult to make time for it, but when I do I remember that there's always time for it. It's all about perspective.</div>

Okay, so without getting too "woo-woo" on all of you, I am seriously feeling the positive energy lately. Mercury came out of retrograde yesterday and my planet (Mars) is currently in Aries making for some serious "get it done!" energy. I've been very busy with Tangleweeds/learning how to maintain a balance that keeps me feeling sane and healthy and happy. Which means this little blog gets a bit neglected.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm stopping in today tho to post about my spring/summer 2013 giveaway. I have yet to debut this line in my <a href="http://www.tangleweeds.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Etsy shop</a>; I'll be listing the new pieces this weekend, and I'll make sure to post here when the pieces become available. Today I give you a little sneak peek and a chance to win one of my new designs!</div>

Well, well, well. I am NOT a very responsible blogger! That is quite apparent. Two months ago was when I put up my last post. Obviously, life has been busy busy busy. I pretty much feel like a broken record saying that! But I've been pretty actively <i>thinking </i>about this here blog and where I want to go with it this year. I think it's going to take a more casual, loosely focused turn this year, if that makes any sense. I think, mainly, I'm starting to see the best use for my blog as being a place to share the things I'm thinking about, feeling, the things I'm passionate about, whether in word of picture form will depend on the mood. For those of you who don't follow me on<a href="http://followgram.me/tangleweeds" target="_blank"> Instgram</a> or <a href="https://www.facebook.com/tangleweedsjewelry" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, here's a little picture journal of my life lately, in no particular order. . . </div>

This past weekend was a real weekend for me! Woo hoo! Saturday I spent some time in the garden, tearing out the dead tomato plants and preparing the ground for some winter veggies. We'll see how that goes. . . Our backyard gets very little sun this time of the year.<br />
<br />
Winter weather is most definitely here. I'm finding myself planning my outfits around which sweater I want to wear that particular day. Lately I've been hankering to get back to the outfit photos (especially for Wardrobe Remix) but just never seem to find the time. . . and, well, my outfits aren't as cute as they used to be! This is what happens when you work for yourself and the work is never done. I find myself wanting to wear the clothes that will feel<br />

the most like pajamas all day long!<br />
<br />
Ultimately tho, the blog and outfit posts from other everyday gals are the ones that feel the most real to me. I want to know how the gal who only has a bike to get around town makes her outfits work. Or the stay at home mom. How does she manage it? Or the self-employed artist. I don't seek perfect polish or panache. Outfits that don't feel contrived, or sponsored by clothing and shoe companies. . . Just real gals posting the clothes they wear to go about their very real days.<br />
<br />
In case you wondered, some of my favorites are:<br />
* <a href="http://prettysmartgirlart.blogspot.com/">The Girl Who Married a Bear</a><br />
* <a href="http://www.astralboutique.typepad.com/">Astral Boutique's Blog</a><br />

* <a href="http://thriftcandy.blogspot.com/">Thrift Candy</a><br />
* <a href="http://makingniceinthemidwest.com/">Making Nice in the Midwest</a><br />
<br />
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the more polished gals with the gorgeous style. I LOOK at these blogs and drool over the clothes, the style, but I guess what disappoints me sometimes is that I started following these DIY fashion blogs because it was inspiring what gals were doing with very little money. . . I feel like so much of it has become commercialized in a way that's just not for me. . .<br />

What I'd really like to see is a resurgence of the "non commercial" style blog. Blogs that are true expressions of the person ( the<i> gal</i>, yes, since I mainly follow blogs written by women) behind it. And I am finding those blogs. Sometimes tho, the internet is such a crowded place it can be hard to find the things you want to find. So, if you know of any awesome, feisty ladies who like to post about personal style, life, politics, food, road trips, etc, let me know about them!<br />

Saturday night Jeff and I cooked dinner together. Sauteed some veggies and fish. Also baked an acorn squash with some brown sugar and butter. Mmmmm. One of the yummiest (and easiest) fall foods!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last weekend some members form the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sfetsy">SF Etsy team</a> got together for a little "behind the scenes" meeting with five lovely creatures: a porcupine, an owl, a frog, a snake, and a parrot. We were there to sketch and take photos of these animals for inspiration for art work for a 2013 calendar that will be available through <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/weave/id444522442?mt=8">Weave</a>. I'll post more info about my piece here once it's completed!</div>

I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend (both this one and the last!) I'm currently hanging with the family and trying to wrap up a few lose-work-ends before my work week starts. Oh, also, in other non-essential news, I made the best brownies this weekend. <a href="http://rosylittlethings.typepad.com/posie_gets_cozy/2012/10/brownies.html">Try this recipe</a> if you like fudgey brownies. They were delightful! They were for my dad's birthday. Happy birthday dad! </div>

I voted today. I was amazed by how long the lines were at my voting place, and I got there at 8:30 this morning. It felt great being there, the energy, the hope palpable in the room. I live in a very liberal place (the San Francisco bay area) so the general feeling is "Go Obama!" And I absolutely want him to win. But I voted green party for president.</div>

I don't feel like I threw my vote away. I can say with confidence that California will go to Obama. I am happy about that. But the Green Party is the party that most closely represents how I want the world to be. I vote Green Party but know that they won't be sitting in the white house just yet. One day hopefully!</div>

Last night was so so so much fun. Jeff and I both dressed up. We went out to our usual spot, had beers, and then met up with some friends at Bar 355 in Oakland. Much dancing and laughing ensued. If you're friends with me on<a href="https://www.facebook.com/jeannine.komush"> facebook</a>, then you already know what I dressed up as. For those of you who don't, I attempted to "re-create" Kate Bush on the cover of Never for Ever. . . </div>

I kind of felt like I was giving birth to Noah's Ark! Ha! What was really awesome about this costume was how great it made me feel. I think the fact that I was trying to embody a facet of this woman who I find to be completely amazing had a wonderful affect on me. I mean, I could probably give this entire blog over to things only related to Kate Bush and never get bored with it. . . That's how deep me love is =). It also helped that people seemed to love my costume, even if they didn't "get it" at first. </div>

But it's back to work today. At the studio attempting to get some work done. The one bad thing about nights like last night is it makes it entirely impossible to concentrate. Good thing I can just spend all day making earrings if I want! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Which reminds me of a conversation I had with a good friend last night. We talked about "being artists" and the good and bad the hard and the easy that comes with it. I said something about just wanting to be able to wake up every morning and do exactly as I please - don't we all! - and he said to me "But don't you already do that?" It made me stop and realize I do get to do that, at least to a certain extent, and to a much larger extent than when I worked for someone else. Being an adult - and an artist - brings with it a lot of responsibility that you can't just run away from. And it helps to talk about it all with like-minded folks.)</div>

So, yes, as stated in my last post I have been quite remiss at regular blog posts. . . I always seem to start the year out bound and determined to regularly post here. And I start out that way because I always have one hundred and one things that I want to blog about. That hasn't changed, if anything I now have <i>one thousand and one things</i> to blog about! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

But, as the year wears on and my schedule quickly fills up with craft fairs and large jewelry orders, I find myself relegating the blog to a fairly low priority. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I simply wanted to share with you some "moon phase" pieces I've been working on. They're not perfect, but I'm so happy about them, I wanted to share them now! These pieces have me thinking about the possibility of getting into some torch-fired enamel work. Which would be a new direction for me, but a consideration going into the new year when I'll have a bit of time to experiment with new techniques. </div>

Without getting too esoteric about it (nor am I an expert on this matter) the full moon is a wonderful time for "full" energy. The kind of energy that births new ideas and new paths. And I'm thinking it may be birthing in me a new direction with this blog, one that fulfills me creatively. . . </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I make no promises, as I do believe I've said many a times that I was gonna ramp up this here 'ol blog only for it to go pretty quiet for months on end. But, I'm just sayin' I'm thinking quite a bit about some series for the blog and a blog makeover.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, thanks full moon for giving me the energy and the excitement to dream about change and dream about, well dreams!</div>

Oh, I have no excuse! My blog is being sorely neglected as of late. Or, being busy is an excuse, right? =). Well, I wanted to drop in and let you know I'll be in San Francisco this weekend for these two great fairs. . . </div>

Just a quick peek at where my creative muse has been taking me lately. I'm finding myself working on tiny, delicate pieces AND chunky, more ornate pieces. I think it's a good manifestation of the internal tug-of-war that goes on inside of me continually: the "maker" vs. the "artist." </div>
