WHAT A NASTY RAINY DAY

I guess nobody told the weatherman that it's still supposed to be summer.  Crying out loud, it's not quite September.  Looking forward to getting back to AZ, where summer means warm (hot) & lots of sunshine.  Won't be leaving here for another month tho because we need to build up the travel funds a bit more.  Meanwhile, I'll just keep makin' jewelry & working with my rocks & glass.

Talk about an easy sale........

Handcrafted Light Blue Dichroic Glass
Wrapped With Sterling Silver

I was going to list this one on my website tonight (http://jewelry-artistry.com/), but I had a slight change of plans.  I wore it when I went shopping and a woman said how much she liked it.  I mentioned that it was for sale & she bought it right then and there.  Now THAT's the way I like it.

Hot diggety

The good weather's back.  We had a few days of clouds & temps in the 60's.  That's hard to take for a couple of people who love AZ.  This isn't supposed to last too long (such is life in the Great Northwet - that's not a typo), but we'll sure enjoy it while it lasts.  Got to make up some really great dichroic glass cabochons & finish up my stone cabs.  They turned out wonderful.  Will try to get some pics up soon.

Hope everyone's having a great week.

Hope everyone's having a wonderful Monday

Mondays, how I used to hate them when it meant the 1st day of a work week.  Now that we're retired, it means another Saturday in a long stream of them.

Getting a pkg of cabochons ready to ship.  Stupid printer decided to run out of black ink.  Glad I had more. 

Will be spending the day with a girlfriend & we'll be making dichroic glass cabochons.  Then she wants to learn to wire wrap.  Can't get all that in on one day tho.
Hope y'all have a fantastic week!

Well, it's Sunday

Another week of my life gone, but what a life.  Fantastic. 

We had one of our granddaughters Friday night & Saturday.  We told her we'd do whatever she wanted that day.  So, we went out to breakfast, went to the pool for a while - she swam but it was too cold for these two old people.  Then we went to play with the animals at Noah Pet Rescue.  She said it was a wonderful day.  We enjoyed it, but the fact that she loved it made it soooo much better.

Today, we'll take it easy, work some rocks & make some jewelry.

Hope you'll have a wonderful day too.

Well, it's 12:00 midnight. The dog just slipped out the door when Terry opened it.  She just got home & I'm heading for bed. 
I've been sharing links with a lot of friends and followers of Facebook & Twitter through #LinkLove.  I hope you'll check them out & trade links with me too.

Have have really not been good at posting on here.  Just been too busy with so many other things.  My mom turned 90 last week, so we had a big party for her at my sister's place on the Columbia River in SW Washington, near Longview.  I've been adding items like crazy on my website (http://jewelry-artistry.com/) and in my Etsy store (http://jewelryartistry.etsy.com/).  We'll be in Washington at least until the beginning of Sept, then not sure which direction we'll go. Maybe east, maybe south. 

When we head out I'm hoping we can get a rescue Brussels Griffon.  We've had 2 in the past, & they are just the most loving little things.  If anybody knows of one in the Washington area, please let me know.
