Rain, Rain and More Rain...

Wednesday, May 20, 2009

It has been raining what seems like non-stop all week. It's nice because we need the rain but after about 4 days of it constantly I'm tired of it already. Apprently there's some front that was moving through that has stalled out so we're getting all of this rain from it.


When I first moved here after getting married it was the end of August. It rained every day at 4:00 for almost a month straight I think. You'd have beautiful weather in the morning and then it would get about 4:00 pm and it would be a downpour with high winds and whatever else. I used to kid my husband that if Florida was supposed to be the Sunshine State what gives?!


I have been busy lately working on different things. Practicing some glass techniques of which I'm waiting for some new glass and mandrels to come in today and tomorrow. I've also been working with my PMC clay some. Have a couple things done up that I'm anxious to get fired but Dave hasn't gotten a place in the garage done up yet. I think he's working on that today. I also did three new pendants this weekend and have been working on some clay earrings. All have been listed in my etsy shop.


Last night I worked up this wonderful piece of larimar I got in on Tuesday. I love the tie-dye effect that the crystals formed when this stone was created so, I'm really happy with how this one turned out. It will also be added to my shop shortly.


Treasuries, wrapping and classes....oh my!

I have had a busy evening. First I received a moonstone that I bought in the mail today. I'm a sucker for those flashy stones. This one is really nice too and a beautiful blue, greenish flash in it. I just HAD to wrap it immediately and gave it a garnet drop. It's growing on me and I'm liking it a lot more than I thought I would when I originally started it. I've never sold anything I've absolutely hated or wasn't happy with but there are some pieces that you do that you're just "Wow" about and there are some that you like but they're just not your favorites. Here's a quick picture of it. I'm listing it some time tomorrow with better pictures.


Secondly I got a treasury on etsy that I did with a bright rainbow theme going from one corner to the other. I'm really happy with how it turned out. So check it out and leave a comment. :)

And lastly tomorrow is my entrelec class at the knit shop which means I need to brush up on it tonight. I haven't looked at the pattern I'm using in a while and have to refresh myself on how many stitches I'm using.
