Bear With Me

Bear with me...I am feeling a bit blue today.  I know very soon Lily, Hope, Jason and Faith will leave their bedsite not far from their winter den, and they will be out of camera range. It is very bittersweet.  As much as I would love to continue watching Lily and Hope and the new cubbies, I am also excited for them to start their new adventures this year.  Hope, the yearling, just may get another year with Lily, because of the birth of cubs this January.  It's a long story....

So I am feeling blue and decided to get busy adding my new BEAR WITH ME design to the main website, www.pointsnorth studio.com, the new etsy store http://www.etsy.com/shop/pointsnorthstudio and on all my designs on items I don't produce in-house on Zazzle http://www.zazzle.com/pointsnorthstudio+gifts.  This new design is available on the zazzle store with different state names!

I have been busy.  I also know I have to get busier, with more jewelry designs; I am loving pearls and knotting lately, as well as making the Tree of Life pendants...I just love those.  I try to put a lot of thought into those pendants, with specific stone or crystal beads for awareness and color significance.  I have made many Tree of Life pendants in honor of the black bears of Minnesota...those in the wild and those who reside at the North American Bear Center in Ely, Minnesota.  These bears got me through this long winter.

Now that the snow has melted away, except for the huge mounds on corners and in parking lots, the gardens are beckoning for tender loving care and the koi pond is a bit thick with winter yuck.  The fish look healthy, happy and hungry.  This won't be work, it will be relaxing therapy after the long winter.
I can hardly wait for our magnolia's to bloom.  Love that we can grow these in MINNOHSOCOLDA!  HAH!  I will post a couple pics as soon as they are a blooming!

Enjoy the spring and be good to each other,
Janice
