Broken

​How can a broken heart heal

When it feels like it's died a thousand times

Time can heal all wounds

But time has abandoned me

With every beat of this shattered heart

Feels like a thousand cuts each and every time

How can something so broken be fixed

Like a broken vase that's been put back together

It will always be broken

Blood Tears And Gold

I never thought I could forget you,
I never thought I'd be the man I am now,
It's 20 seconds since I left you,
Cause I could never be your lover,
I found another girl to mess me 'round,
So you don't get to make me suffer,
Look into my eyes there's really nothing left to lose,
But I know that I'm never coming back to you

Love goes cold,
Blood, tears and gold,
Wont make it any better,
I never let you down baby, baby,
I never let you down baby, baby,
And it wont get any better,
Blood, tears and gold

It's 20 seconds since I've left you,
And I remember why I never looked back,
I got no reason to forgive you,
I see it in your eyes,
The suffering it hides the blue,
But I know, that's it never gonna hide the truth, the truth, baby

Love goes cold,
Blood, tears and gold,
Wont make it any better,
I never let you down baby, baby,
I never let you down baby, baby,
And it wont get any better,
Blood, tears and gold

Love goes cold,
Blood, tears and gold,
Wont make it any better

When love goes cold,
Blood, tears and gold,
Wont make it any better,
I never let you down baby, baby,
I never let you down baby, baby,
And it wont get any better,
Blood, tears and gold

Silence

​Blustering winds amongst the hill top

Rolling clouds up above

Crackle of lightning

and rumbling of thunder

The cold embrace of darkness

Leaden words fall to the ground

Soaked in tears

Silence

Goodbye

Tell me your sorrows as I wipe away your tears

Lay down your troubles and confess your fears

I stood frozen as you stole my heart

Watched in silence as you ripped it apart

Was it a mistake for loving you so much

Why does my heart still long for your touch

A heart that was will never be

Whole again as I set you free

Time stands still in an awkward stare

At a lonely soul that was never there

The silence is loud as I close my eyes

For it is time to say our goodbyes

Goodbye

Hurts - Affair & lyrics

Such a beautiful song...

Vintage Chair

Found this chair on the street while I was moving out from Sharon Street. Really nice chair. The seat and back rest has a nasty cream vinyl upholstery. The armrest is made of wood and the legs are metal. The back rest swivels and the rest of the chair seems to be in pretty good shape. I'm going to try and reupholster with some new and more modern fabric. Will post after pictures when it is done.

Set Fire To The Rain

Amazing new song by the talented Adele. Can't wait for this album! Can already tell this will be on constant replay for the next few months or so.

Set Fire To The Rain

I let it fall, my heart,
And as it fell, you rose to claim it.
It was dark and I was all burned,
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me.
My hands they're strong, but my knees were far too weak,
To stand in your arms without falling to your feet,
But there's a side, to you, that I never knew, never knew.
All the things you say they where never true, never true,
And the games you play, you would always win, always win.

Chorus:
But I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
When it burned, well I cried,
Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!

When I lay, with you, I could stay there,
Close my eyes, feel you here forever,
You and me together, nothing is better!
Cause there's a side, to you, that I never knew, never knew.
All the things you say they where never true, never true,
And the games you'd play, you would always win, always win.

Chorus:
But I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
When it burned, well I cried,
Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!
I set fire to the rain
And I feel lost into the flames
When it fell, something died,
Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time!

Sometimes I wake up by the door,
That heart you call on must be waiting for ya.
Even now when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for ya.

Chorus:
I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
When it burned, well I cried,
Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!
I set fire to the rain
And I feel lost into the flames
When it fell, something died,
Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time!

Oh oh oh oh oh...

Let it burn...

New Beginnings

So it's been a while since I've posted anything meaningful on this blog. Like most people that starts a blog. I had all the intentions of blogging regularly. Sharing thoughts and ideas or just to maybe use this as a diary in some ways. I would've loved to say that my life was that exciting and hectic that I didn't have time to post regularly but all is untrue. I guess I just got lazy and slacked off and the posts just got less and less along the way and eventually stopped. Even though my life wasn't that busy or hectic a lot has happened in this hiatus from this blog. In my professional work and in my personal life. As the title of this post suggest. It's a new beginning in my life and for this blog. I have loads of new ideas for projects on jewelry, clothes and design in general so stay tuned. Anyways I leave you here with a picture of the 2 creatures that has kept me sane through this tough year or year and a half. XO Q

Orange Catherine Holm Fondue!

As you know from my previous posts that I am a collector of Catherine Holm fondue pots. I have about 10 of them! I just love the round space age shape. Of course you don't just have to use it for making fondue. It's really useful for serving or just holding knick knacks in. Anyways there is an orange set up for grabs on eBay right now with only 21 hours left. Here's the item #190265066528. It's a full set. Which is hard to find. The price is at $19.99 right now which is pretty reasonable. Good luck to whoever wants it!

New Jewelry!

So it's been awhile since my last blog. Finnegan is doing much better now. He's pretty much back to normal except he doesn't run as fast as he use to. I guess he has to let his skin around his left hind leg to stretch out a bit more. I am so glad he is better!
Anyways, here's Quigley wearing what is the beginning of my new jewelry collection. It is inspired by a hornets nest that we found on our old kitchen window. You can see a picture of the actual nest on an old blog. So what Quigley is wearing is wearing is not actually the new jewelry but part of the components. The white square is just a piece of styrofoam that I am using to create clusters to see how they look. The clusters are made from sterling silver cones that are hand crimped to make hexagon shapes and then clustered to make the hornets nest. I think these will be turned into rings and pendants and brooches. Let me know what you think of them.

Finnegan Update

So it's been about 2 weeks since Finnegan had his stitches taken out.
He is pretty much back to normal. The good news is that the vet felt
like she got a good enough margin around the tumor that he won't need
radiation. We just have to keep an eye on him and feel for anything
that might come back. Anyways that's it for now.

Wing Ring

Here is a ring that I made for my friend Jenny. She saw a ring she really liked in a store, but it was really expensive. It was a plain silver ring in the shape of a wing that wrapped around the finger. She also saw other rings that had gemstones in it and wanted to see if I can add gemstones to the ring. So this is my version of the wing ring with multi color gemstones. It is hand carved from a piece of Precious Metal Clay(PMC) and the gemstones are lab created. Not very good pictures but it'll do. I think I can probably improve on a couple of things on the ring too. You know how it is. Whne you make something for the first time. You always end up thinking "oh, I should've did this instead of this." Anyways we'll see how Jenny likes it.

Anatomy

Here are a couple of anatomy models that I picked up from ebay. Was thinking of using it as inspiration for some jewelry. Don't know. Their cool to look at though. They are about 6" tall. Not too big and scary.

Finnegan

Here's a picture that I took with Finnegan the night before he went in for his surgery.

Bridesmaids Dress

Here' a bridesmaids dress that I made for a friend of a friend. I just finished it today. Made from black Sillk Dupioni and lined with emerald color polyester lining. It's super simple. Let me know what you think.
