I know it's been a million years since I have blogged but I have been in a real funk lately. My winter blues have taken hold of me and it's been hard to shake this terrible feeling. Those of you who know me know that I need SUNSHINE plain and simple! The lack of sunshine really takes a toll on me. I have been making myself sit outside and have a fire just so I can get fresh air and just breathe and collect my thoughts. So i won't keep rambling about my winter blues just had to put that out there... So hubby and and I cooked a delicious valentines dinner. Going out is over rated, the service is bad and if you don't make a reservation well then forget it. And as my sweet husband told me we have the best restaurant in town! How sweet is he. I have really enjoyed cooking with him. I am a bit of a control freak in the kitchen so this has been an adjustment for me but I have to say I am really enjoying it and I think he is too! I will let you in on a little secret he makes a better pizza from scratch then me ! </span></td></tr>

The shrimp was wrapped in phylo dough , dusted with crushed pistachios and baked for about 20 min. The shrimp was served with a thai chilli dipping sauce. This was a new recipe for us and I have to say it was quite simple. My hubby picked out the recipe from Sheryl Crows new cook book If it makes you healthy. There are some fabulous recipes in this book and they are not over complicated which I love, nice and simple the way cooking should be. </span></td></tr>

I have been so busy creating pretty little cuffs! I have to say I have finally found my thing, creating cuffs and it feels so right! It all started when I went looking for a cute boho cuff to wear to the Sheryl Crow concert... Well I had a vision but just couldn't find the cuff I had in mind so I decided I would make my own and from that moment on 1 cuff became 2 and from that I started my own little etsy shop! So now back to my vaca.... sorry sometimes I get so excited that I veer of course sometimes but that's ok. I may get a little of course but I have ALWAYS stayed true to myself! that is one thing I can say for sure. So please enjoy the pics from my recent trip to Edisto Beach my favorite place on the planet!!!</span></td></tr>

Due to blow over sand from the hurricane that went up the coast this august there were some nests that just had too much sand on top for the little guys to be able to dig themselves out, so that's were the naturalist and my friend come in they get to offer a helping hand and dig them out. I have to say this was one of the most amazing things I have ever got to be a part of.

<tr align="justify" style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><td class="tr-caption"><span style="font-size: small;">Hello and happy monday!Iknow it's been awhile since I have posted but I have been obsessively making my cuffs for my etsy shop. I have been happily creating all kinds of designs and have so many more I can't wait to share... So in all this madness of cuff making my husband and I did a little project together for our dog. We have a big dog and we have been looking for a cute stand for her bowls and just couldn't find anything we liked so we made our own. It's was nice crafting with my hubby. He built the stand and I painted it and laid the rock design. I think it turned out super cute and Molly approves!So I have been obsessed with this dish... Asian noodles with shrimp, tofu ,sugar snap peas peanuts , sesame seeds and feta. I was in the mood for something asian and spicy so I looked in my fridge and cabinets and this is what I came up with. I used low carb pasta which I am slightly obsessed with low carb cooking. I sauteed some shrimp and tofu and tossed it all together with some sesame ginger dressing and topped it with sugar snap peas, crushed peanuts and sesame seeds. I can't get enough of this meal!it was super fabulous and so ridiculously simple! Add a glass of your favorite vino and enjoy ~</span></td></tr>

Introducing can I get a drum roll please.... Boho inspired cuffs! I am so happy with them and am excited to share them with you. Life is a journey and every day really is a winding road! Just love that Sheryl Crow song, oh and by the way I am going to see her in concert next week. I am so pumped she really is a free spirit, I love that about her ! I think I will wear one of these happy little daisy cuffs to the concert, gotta start getting these cuffs out to the world!!! I say you have to believe in yourself and try and if you fail and fall you pick yourself up and then you SUCCEED ! I have been a soul searching mission these last few months and have grown and learned things about myself I didn't know and also realized I am stronger than I realized. I have been finding myself doing things I would have never done before and that makes me feel great about who I am. Everyone has a voice and something to offer so speak up and be heard. Be true to yourself an be as you are no one can take that from you! I think it is important to just take time and sit quietly and listen to your inner voice. Sometimes we all get caught up in what everyone else is saying that we forget to listen to what Oprah calls thos " little whispers". She is so right you have to really listen and when you do you will discover things about yourself you didn't know.These whispers will always lead you on the right path and the direct you where you are meant to go. So enough of my deep thoughts and allowing me to share a feeling. </span></span></td></tr>

<tr align="justify" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><td class="tr-caption"><span style="font-size: small;">So after a busy week of creating cuffs and photographing and listing them shop I made this little beach sign. I have been collecting the caps off of my husbands beer bottles and finally got around to making something with them. A simple little project you can do... I used a piece of wainscoting I had laying around, painted some letters turquoise and used e6000 to glue on all the caps in the shape of an arrow simple and cute. Every time I look at this sign it puts a smile on my face and takes me away to my favorite little beach place! What is on your agenda for this weekend? We are taking the train to Chicago this weekend I am so excited. My wonderful in laws gave us 2 folding bikes so we get to take them on the train. This should be an adventure! Can't wait to share pics from trip to chicago. Have a wonderful weekend and oh if you have a minute take a peek at my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/beachhousebliss?ref=si_shop" style="color: cyan;">Beach House Bliss</a> etsy shop I just listed some new cuffs.

<tr align="justify" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><td class="tr-caption"><span style="font-size: small;">Happy FRIDAY! wow it's been a hot one here in the mid west I mean like low country hot! I love it now do I love 99.9 % humidity not really but you will never hear me complain. Living in the mid west you just have to soak up each sunny day because we just don't have that many really super sunny days carpe diem! or carpe vino! like I like to say RIGHT ??? Just live each and everyday doing what makes you happy and your soul sing! So I thought I would share some of my summer escapades and happy times with my hubby. We have the best fun together no matter what we do, this usually includes me coming up with crazy random ideas and lots that are not planned at all and end up being the best times. I always say the best times in life are truly the ones not planned. I just love this pic of us watching the sunset, wasn't planned this night but we were having dinner with some friends of ours up in South Haven and after dinner everyone was so full and I said hey let's all walk down and watch the sunset it will help our food digest. So glad we walked down to do it , it was BEAUTIFUL, gotta enjoy these simple things in life! <br />

I just love drinking my vino while watching all the boats drift by while day dreaming. My husband and I have been going to South Haven ever since I was in high school it's been our place. We even drive up there in the winter to see all the ice on lake Michigan it has it's specialness in the winter too, plus who doesn't want any opportunity to go to the beach!!!

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">How cute is this , this is my parents friends boat it's even has a big paddle on the back like the old riverboats, which you can't see in this pic. The kids love to jump off the top of the boat and they have even added a slide what kid wouldn't be happy! I just love being on the water no matter where! I hope everyone is having a good holiday weekend, let the festivities continue!</span></span><br />

It's a busy <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">weekend for everyone. We are headed up to our parents friends house up on the lake for some 4th of July festivities so I just wanted to pop in real quick and tell you what I have been working on for my etsy shop. I have been perfecting these belt buckles and I am almost there. I am excited to sell these in my shop. Like anything you create it's a process and fine tuning, plus I have been wearing this buckle to see how it holds up and so far so good! I have a ton of ideas for my buckles and can't wait to get to them. So what do you think so far? I am open to any creative ideas or tips... </span>so anyway just wanted to give you a peek at what I have been working on in the Beach House Bliss Studio! Stay tuned I will let you know when I get ready to put them in my shop :-) </span></td></tr>

I used a 5x7 frame, painted it black and then simply scuffed it up. For the card I used a 5x7 canvas photo card and just stamped my little saying with stampers you can get at any craft store. A simple little frame which I think turned out adorable. So there you have it my latest comings and goings.

<tr align="justify" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><td class="tr-caption"><span style="font-size: small;">Happy Sunday! So I was just tinkering around and I love using things I already have laying around or giving new life to something old. So my husband re sided our garage last summer and I was just poking arou<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">nd the garage looking for something and I came across some of the old cedar shakes that were extras and I thought how cute would these be if I made little signs with them. Can't get much simpler than that. I just used some wood letters spray painted them turquoise and glued them on. And seeing my etsy shop is called beach house bliss I thought Bliss was cute! Simply Bliss that is how I feel when I am inspired by the beach and nature. So I was on a roll and thought that butterfly house I had hanging in my garden had seen better days so I gave it a little make over. The roof used to be yellow and with time and the elements it just lost its life. So I got out the turquoise paint and gave it new life, I also added the little starfish and shell.

</a></div><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Happy Monday</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">! I am so excited to say my etsy shop is officially open. I have been toying with the idea of a etsy shop for awhile and finally had the time to do it. My dream is to one day have a little shop or possibly an online shop with my sister. I guess this is the first step in that direction. I know etsy is small and there are a lot of other fish in the sea but... you</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">have to start somewhere right? I am a ok with doing just that to start. I have so many ideas for things to put in my little beachy themed shop.</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So any who stop on over and check out <a href="http://www.beachhousebliss.etsy.com/"><span style="background-color: cyan;">Beach House Bliss</span> </a>I don't have much listed yet but these things take time! I will have photo cards, matted photography</span>, <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">vintage photo windows,</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">driftwood frames, citronella wine bottles with chalkboard messages</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">and other beachy items. So take a peek and let me know what you think. </span><br />

</div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Hello and happy tuesday! I thought I would pop in and say hello... it's been awhile. I am so grateful I had the oppotunity to visit my sister and just simply rest my body and spirit. My days are started with coffee and breakfast out on the patio with a little bird watching, ok a lot of bird watching it is a birders paradise here! Sometimes I start my day with riding my bike to this adorable little eatery called the cottage. I just love it. Who doesn't love a little cottage eatery, it actually used to be a private residence which has been restored and turned into a fabulous little restaraunt with the most amazing food.</span><br />

We went for a beautiful bike ride this morning around a local lake in Michigan. On our ride we saw these cute little sail boats! that put a big smile on my face. The first part of our weekend was pretty crummy but today makes up for it. I was in sheer bliss on our ride around the lake. Birds were happily singing and people were all out buzzing around their cute little cottages planting flowers and getting their boats ready for memorial day. I couldn't be happier today. What have you been up to on this beautiful pre summer day??? I have been really been inspired lately to be creative I feel like my juices are flowing... I have been learning the art of pmc clay and have really been enjoying. I recently made this seaglass belt buckle, I absolutely love how it turned out. I am working on some more to a. I have lots of ideas for more buckles so stay tuned. friend who is teaching me pmc has her own etsy so pop on over and take a peak shop she is a wonderful source of inspiration and her work is beautiful. <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/stefaniebuysse?utm_source=OpenGraph&utm_medium=PageTools&utm_campaign=Share" style="background-color: cyan;">Studio 422</a>.<br />

</a></div> <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Hello and Happy Wednesday all... I recently spent time with my Bestie in her art studio and she was happy to teach me the art of pmc clay. I just love being in her studio it's so inspiring when we get together in her studio we have so much fun bouncing ideas of each other. Our ideas just start flowing along with the vino hee hee, gotta have vino while getting busy creating. I have even more respect for handmade things than I already did before, wow a lot of time goes into making these bangles, not to mention the rising cost of silver. So here is a little recap of the process of making these little pretties... First you start of by rolling out your clay( pmc is precious metal clay) it's a process of firing the clay in a kiln and applying special material to the clay, amazing when you put your piece in the kiln it comes out as fine silver piece, now there are other steps in between but i won't bore you with all those other details. There is sanding the piece, polishing the piece etc... I also made the bangles (stef soldered them for me( which I am going to learn that next. I hammered each bangle and sanded and polished each one. I really enjoyed each process of making these bangles. I have some more ideas for my clay so stay tuned I will post those next! So here is a quick little step by step of the whole process, minus a few steps in between.</span><br />

All you need for these cute little pillows is the little white daisies which come without centers, scrapbook brads (those are the cute little centers of the flowers and some ruffle ribbon and ribbon glue. Just poke the little brads through the center of the daisy and glue on, it's that simple! There are a million adorable little flower embelishments and brads to chose from. Of course I picked turquoise because it's my favorite color if you have not figured that out yet.</span><br />

I just love them,now all I need is a new white cushion for my wicker couch I just painted, it used to be black. I love when I can re use something I already have on hand cheap and a great way to recycle things. I also made this drift wood beach sign. My husband found this awesome piece of wood at one of our local lake Michigan beaches I L*O*</span>V*E <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">it if you look close enough you can see all the rusty nails I think that makes it look like it has been around for awhile and weathered and worn. I like to think maybe it was part of a dock? or someone's deck? what ever it is I love it. For this I just bought some cardboard letters, painted them turquoise glues them on along with some little starfish. Oh and what do you think of my new floor in the sunroom? we painted the floor gray and did sort of a whitewash effect. I absolutely love how it turned out, thanks stef for help on the technique.</span><br />

We reached 80 degrees woo hoo! I had so much energy I spent the whole weekend buzzing around the house and yard just tinkering away. The fish and frogs are finally getting active in my pond. So the pond doesn't look so great this time of year but I always like to post the before and after of the pond, it is quite a transformation. Spring is so exciting especially after a good rain , I love the smell , I think it intensifies all the other spring time smells. So remember this pic of my pond and stay tuned for when it is in full swing.I will post more pics when everything is happily a bloom :-)<br />

He even started up his croaking ! I think spring is has finally sprung ! So in honor of spring and the spring rain I went out and picked up these rain boots, I think they are just so happy, cute and practical! They are perfect for tinkering in the garden and pond.<br />

I just love spring flowers. Take time to notice the small things in life, for it's the small things that so enrich our lives. So now onto one of my little projects .... Driftwood I recently went to South Carolina to visit my sister and we made a trip to<a href="http://www.huntingisland.com/"> Hunting Island State Park</a> and let me tell you I found a truck load of driftwood. You would have thought I hit the lottery that is how excited I was!!! I am telling you the possibilities are endless for craft projects with drift wood. <br />

On the first day of spring, I dig my fingers deep into the soft earth.<br />
I can feel its energy, and my spirits soar."<br />

I think ??? it has been a really hard winter here. I put on my best game face but let me tell you some days were just so hard. I never thought the madness would end, but somehow it always does and spring once again has shown her pretty little face. And what better way to welcome spring than these pretty little smiling faces. Daffodils and tulips a springtime favorite for me! The perfect little pick me up I needed.</span></span><br />

I am so happy, guess what I came home from work and saw my tulips just peeking out a bit to say HELLO! Spring is finally on the way... The birds have been very active this week and I have even noticed some of the trees buds are just starting to swell. I think everyone who lives in the midwest is ready for spring. This winter has been brutal and very challenging on my soul I must say. So every year we take a little weekend get away to Saugatuck with our good friends, and believe me it was much needed for the soul! We had so much fun it should have been illegal! I don't think you can ever have a bad time in Saugatuck no matter what time of year you go. We had lots of yummy food and vino and then some more vino...</span><br />

I can't tell you how much that lifted my spirits. This winter has been so brutal and it has been a challenge to try and keep a positive attitude when they days are grey and the temps are frigid. I am so looking forward to the spring thaw. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">So I thought I would surprise my husband for Valentine's day and make him dark chocolate truffles but with a twist. I buy dark chocolate bars infused with chili and cinnamon and thought I wonder if I could do that with my truffles, of course you can!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">So to make these little yummies you will need...</span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">6 oz dark chocoloate</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">6 tbs of butter ... never said these were low fat Hee Hee, but I do use smart balance butter, hey you gotta lighten it up where ever you can :-)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream</span><br />
