I became a grandmother???

At the beginning of April we traveled for about 10 days and when we came back we noticed a little pigeon's nest in our balcony. The next day my husband found one egg.


The day after he noticed a second egg....


So we decided to read a little about them and learned that it takes between two to three weeks for the little babies to come out of the shell. We were worried that they would not come out of the eggs, since Pancho, our dog, would scare the parents all the time. Here's a picture of Pancho for those who don't know him yet:


But today, my husband told me that we're grandparents!!! It seems like the little pigeons were born today. There's no way to see them yet since the parents are still sitting on the nest. But the shells are on the side of the nest so that means that they were born today. I'll post some pictures as soon as the parents let us take them. So, remember to check back soon!!!

I've been interviewed!!!

I'm very excited, I got interviewed last week by Natalie from Scrivenerferret and was featured in a Blog. It's about artists who have also full time day jobs. Please read the complete interview here: Estylo Jewelry Interview

Thank you some much Natalie!!!

She has a Handmade Toys shop on Etsy and goes by Scrivenerferret. A little about her and her shop:

"My name is Natalie Fontane, and I have been sewing since I was about eight years old. After having a hard time finding interesting toys for my ferrets, I decided to make my own. I love making patterns, and everything I make is designed by myself.

You may be wondering what the heck a scrivener is. It all started when I read "Bartleby, the Scrivener" by Herman Melville in college. It's a short story, and I just love the name Bartleby. It sounds dignified to me. I decided I would have a pet with that name, and my first ferret became the famous Bartleby."

Scrivenerferret specializes in stuffed handmade pet toys for cats, ferrets, and dogs. She offers a variety of plush meat and animals as well as stuffed ferrets, bedding, tunnels, crinkle sacks, and colorful toys for people.
