Last night I actually cooked dinner, yes cooking does happen on occasion, though rarely. My dinner usually entails just eating a piece of toast and getting on with my night. But I was a nice daughter and I made dinner for mom and me. A friend of mine gave me a recipe I wanted to try and the dinner actually turned out really well. Nothing got burned or thrown out, victory for me!
I also worked on making up rings, for a commissioned piece. I have two more rings I need to make, in the size the customer wanted. I hope to have them done by Saturday so mom and I can go to
Sleepycreek Vineyards to drop off the commissioned work and drink some wine slushies with Joe and Dawn. I also worked on making beads to go with the owl pendant I won from Melanie on
Earthenwood Studio blog. I can't wait to see what I create with the owl and my beads, so exciting!!!
I then went on a treasure hunt in our bead stash and enameled copper pendant boxes to look for extras to send as a bead swap to Lorelei. If you didn't know, Lorelei had an earring swap on her
blog yesterday. I was too late to participate, but Lorelei and I contacted each other and we are still going to do a swap. I was so excited; I was like a kid in a candy store going through our boxes of extras. Looking through the boxes it was a surprise all over again. You forget what you make and then you open up the treasure chests and find some goodies. Lorelei is probably going to think I am a fruit loop, but hey I had fun! Here are some images of what I am sending her today. The beads and pendants mom and I make. We find a pattern we like, or draw up one and then glue the pattern to a sheet of copper, saw out the pendant, and then enamel the copper in a kiln.

Sounds like you had fun with dinner and bead hunting! Love all your beads, as usual!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Sharon. It was a blast; to go through the beads and see them in a whole new light.
ReplyDeleteLorelei, I am glad there are more of us fruit loops out there. I can't wait for you to receive the packet. I had so much fun putting it together.
Wine slushies? Now that sounds like a drink I can get involved with!
ReplyDeleteLove your beads! And those enameled trees are terrific!
