Father's Day & Recycled Jewelry

Now that my kids are done with school, I haven't had much time to blog.

I feel the need to catch up, please indulge me for a bit.  Father's Day was interesting.

 My hubby got the idea to go on a bike ride (sounds normal so far) with the entire family (good, but more complicated) to a not so near restaurant (what? We'll be sweaty and it's far...whine, whine, ) where we treat him to a Father's day meal (yum, food), then climb uphill all the way back home on a full stomach (you lost my vote man!). But...It wasn't a democracy and It was Father's Day, so we all did it.  They all enjoyed poking fun at me as I struggled peddling uphill all the way home.  Is anyone else married to a spontaneous person?

Jewelry Time.  

My etsy shop is on vacation mode because my entire inventory is with my beloved sister.  She has been very gracious over the years to take my inventory to her fellow teachers and administrators to purchase my wares.  I hear it's doing fare :)  She also asked me to recycle the beads from a jewelry piece(not a Goya D) that had broken.  I recycle beads as often as I can, so I loved the idea.  She requested dangle earrings.  I enjoy naming my jewelry, so I named these.......

 Recycled Blue.  

If any of you have old jewelry that you're not crazy about, and want the beads recycled into a new piece, just convo me (etsy talk for having a conversation) with design ideas at Goya Designs.  Recycling is better for the environment, and you'll lower the cost of original jewelry you were involved in designing.  You can still convo me even though my shop in on vacation.
