Over this past week I woke up to a limb falling beside my window. I have several pecan trees in my yard. Although I like pecans, I am not sure how I feel about having these trees in my yard. I have quite the love/hate relationship with them. For starters, the squirrels are terrible! I have little tiny pecan trees popping up everywhere. Limbs just randomly fall off. And, I really don't pick up the pecans either! However, I like the idea that IF I wanted to eat pecans, I could go outside. I also just like having them because of what they represent: the changing of seasons, the cooling weather, the approaching holidays..They remind me of home and family and yesteryears.
Well, the randomly falling limbs.. yeah. Good morning to me! But I found a good use for the wood this weekend. I sliced up a few of the branches to make little discs. I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do with them, but when I walked through the living room and saw all of my jewelry stuff out from an earlier project, I knew what I wanted to do.
