New earrings

Tonight I decided to finally use some patterned wire that I had bought some months ago for an idea that just didn't work as planned. I got the idea to make hoop earrings out of it a couple of weeks ago but it just never happened until tonight. I have to say that I am quite pleased with how they turned out. A bit heavy for my own tastes because I'm not used to wearing earrings but they look awesome on and I'd deal with the weight for a date night or special occasion just because of how great they look in.

I just listed them on etsy as "Garden Party" and I hoped I priced them right. I am terrible at pricing and coming up with what should be the right amount to use.


Oh and Little G's school photos came in yesterday. They always take three poses and of course one is usually him making a goofy face. The one that I really would've liked to been good is of course the one where he looks a bit surprised by the camera. But the other two are very good and I must say my vest looked awesome.

Picture Day

Earlier I talked about making a vest for Little G for picture day. I actually got it finished and only had to re-do the neck once. He has a big head and there was no way it was going to fit the first time. Here's the first picture

And here's how he probably REALLY felt about wearing a vest for picture day...
*sighs* Yes, you are my son. Lets just hope that wasn't the expression he had for his pictures...

Yay!!!

Today has been both a good and bad day. The bad part first...

I seem to be suffering from some kind of sinus thing or a relapse of what I had a couple of weeks ago, I'm not sure which. Today I went to work and could NOT breath plus the sinus pressure was killing me. So I worked half day, came home and took something for all of that and rested for a bit. Also, Little G hasn't been sleeping so great the past two nights coughing and what not. I picked him up from school today and his nose is running like a fountain and he has a horrible cough.

Now for the good...

I sold one of my more expensive pendants today. It really was one of my favorites and I was sad but proud to have it sold. I know, that sounds so totally sappy but really, it was an absolutely beautiful larimar stone and I was thrilled with how it came out. Here is a picture of it.

Larimar pendants tend to be one of my better sellers so I try to have one or two in my store that are of a nice quality. It's ironic in some ways that this one sold because I made one up this weekend and posted it which I think turned out really nice.It was a beautiful day today so I took a bunch of pictures outside to update some of my listings.

So, even though today has had it's "eh" moments it's turning out to be not to bad of a day.
