It seems like I havent sat down long enough lately to post anything... really I have I just havent been able to articulate anything. I'm always distracted by other things. I've made a few things and if it keeps raining today I might just get some pics uploaded... I sold two pairs of earrings today. Both I made for myself and one was my best piece yet. My Mom freaked out on them and insisted on buying them. I thought about it and gave in... Named a price for her I thought was "MOM Fair". It gave me some spending money today and since I bought myself a delicious set of Lapis beads and a few others that called to me and asked to be something. Todays purchases were the Lapis, two different strands of a pretty pink jade coins and faceted rectangles and some rose quartz heishi and 3 strands of smooth pale pale amethyst drops that the price was right on. The coins are asking to be a bracelet. The Lapis is too I think.. Though I cant decide if a necklace is more in order or not. I also bought sterling earring backs with the intention of making another pair of my molten silver studs, I really need to to more solder work and get comfortable again... The gem show last weekend left town with me now owning a soldering stand, pickling tongs, soldering tweezers and bezel tools and a ring mandrel.... I need to use them! I'm finally working with REAL tools, not makeshift stuff! Im also going to try to take some pictures of the little pyrite ammonites I bought. It was a wonderful mothers day weekend. Today wasnt so bad either! Its cloudy and rainy now and pretty relaxing. The kiddo should be having his grandma and grandpa time tonight so I hope to sleep late and relax in peace and quiet tommorow and maybe make something.
I almost forgot WHY I even posted... I got bit by the really crazy rearranging bug and took over part of the kitchen/dining area for a work bench... We have some of the garage sale(What the HECK are they really called) tables in storage, I grabbed a short one and moved the mitche table out and took over the wall and window area. NOW I have LOTs of room to work and put the computer AND room to pull another chair if hubby wants the computer while Im working AND Im going to rearrange more I think and move our big 55 gallon fishtank if hubby will cooperate(I dont blame him for NOT wanting to though...) Move a shelf, put the tank next to the sectional, and our freezer in its place and our breakfast table more in the kitchen area... Yeah I know needs pictures... Ill work on that too!.
OK PICTURES ADDED!:
