Silver clay set

Too cute! I made the silver art clay ring at class on tuesday, came out nice, the image did not stamp too good but I like it and I guess that's all that matters, so now I have a ring a bracelet and necklace...how fun is that! I am making chainmaille earrings on monday and then we have open bead day on tuesday. Nothing else going on....working at the office, jumping in the pool to cool off and going out to dinner, I took Charlie to PF Chang's tonight, he has never been there and he really liked it! We had fried rice, shrimp lo mein spicy, orange peel chicken and crab wontons....very yummy!!

Busy working....got a jewelry class today and one on saturday!
Colleen, my friend and teacher got her blog up and running so you can check her jewelry and classes out there, it is in my blogs to read links! She has made some amazing pieces!
Got a new ipod from my ebay sales....first thing I had to add to it was the 1st pirates of the caribbean movie, must have johnny depp fix! He is so adorable as a pirate! So now I can have movies, music videos, and more!
Ok time to get ready for class...will update more later!

Zion!

We had to travel to Page Az which took us through Zion National park in Utah, Wow that was beautiful! Our first stop was the cracker barrel for breakfast in St George, (I had Blueberry Pancakes) then through Zion and then to Page to see the car we needed to inspect. Long drive but nice scenery!! I got to stop at a rock shop and buy a couple cabachons for beading!

Classes!

2 bracelets this week...Oh I love them! On the silver art clay we stamped and we learned how to hammer the clay to give it dimension and texture, the other bracelet is just a beaded braclet using fire polish beads and 11 seed beads...easy weave on that one! No classes next week bummer!

No news is good news...

I have been busy cleaning and organizing the house in the mornings and working afternoons with boss.
We usually finish up around 5 and then head out to grab some dinner, Olive Garden, Lucille's, I took him over to try Chapala's on tropicana and pecos, that is a great authentic mexican restaurant, the food tastes very fresh and it seems like the kitchen is full of mexican grandma's in there cooking all the real food...give it a try! It is nice to have restaurants to go to where you are not bothered with smoking and slot machines, we still like our sunday's at the mexican restaurant in boulder station where we play keno, drink beer and wine and eat tons of chips and salsa!
Ok Gotta get some more housework done, got 2 classes coming up this week so stay tuned for more jewelry!

Christmas in July!
My friend Colleen #1 gave me this for Christmas!! It is the new brighton bracelet for peace...it is gorgeous and I can't say thank you enough....she knew it had jackie written all over it and she was right, each charm is wonderful and this is by far my favorite piece of brighton I own, and because it was given in friendship that I hope grows more special with each passing year! Merry Christmas everyone!!

They Warned Me!

They warned me this jewelry thing would take over my life, well it has, during my last 24 hours alone I remodeled the corner of my bedroom to make room for more...I have 6 classes this month to take! I, being the naive little jewelry virgin that I was said in my first couple classes, "Oh I could never sell the jewelry I make" Oh, how they laughed at me for that...and now I sell it on Etsy! Well, you just can't keep it all I now realize, and there may be some poor soul out there yearning for one of my unique special pieces....hahahahahaha......but better safe then sorry so I am putting the stuff out there and will sell some at the Newcomer bazaar this year, must make money for more jewelry classes...did they warn me this may be a never ending cycle
