I have quite a few items that I can use to make an special necklace. I have started to purchase sterling feather items to make into a necklace.

Dragonfly

 

I own this Navajo Pendant.

According to Native American spiritual beliefs, the dragonfly symbolizes transformation and change.

It is often seen as a symbol of the messenger, bringing messages from the ancestors and the spirit world. 

In some Native American cultures, the dragonfly is also associated with a specific deity.

The god represented by the dragonfly is the Great Spirit, 

who is believed to be the creator and ruler of the universe.

The Great Spirit is seen as an all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-pervading force that is present in everything and everyone.

Therefore, the dragonfly is considered to be a sacred and powerful symbol in Native American culture.

DIY Solar Hanging Lights

 This is a fun DIY project. The supplies are straight forward. The glass shades (really cheap at a thrift store), solar lights that fit the top, wire for hanging, and some pretty things to hang from inside.

These are hanging from tree branches, with the right solar exposure, these could hang from the house. I would use hooks and some light weight chain. A tip for this, I shop at thrift stores and purchase long chain necklaces to use (cheap).

Ravenous Butterflies

Ravenous Butterflies

“Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won't either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.”
