Busy Busy Busy

At this rate I'll never get my new jewelry posted, life just keeps getting in the way! I have 3 projects just sitting on my bench that need to be fixed - not my work, but someone elses that didn't go well. Quality findings, people, quality findings. And stringing materials gone wrong! And tiny wrists not taken into consideration! That's why you need someone like me to custom make your jewelry with quality findings, the right stringing material for the right job, the right tension and the right size! After this I hope to be able to get back to wire and beads baby, my creativity is burning a hole in my brain. On another note, went to see New Moon last night, the second movie in the Twilight Trilogy. Can you tell me why someone would pick skinny, pasty, sparkly oversensitive Edward over buff, bronze and downright sexy Jacob? Just my opinion here. Besides the fact that one can control their anger better than an innate thirst for blood I think. Damn that boy was hot! And I think they should have left his hair long, though I like it short too. That guy is gonna grow up to be one of my muses I think, he's a little young yet but in a few years will join the ranks of Kevin Smith (Aries from Xena), Hugh Jackman, Keanu Reeves (okay, so he's skinny, pasty and white, too) and Kevin Bacon.

Copper Wire Magazine

Just a quick note to promote an online magazine devoted to those of us who love copper the way others do gold and silver - I love silver too, but copper is my fickle boytoy!

Time to get busy

Okay, time to get back to work and get busy. I have new photos of jewelry to post and will get up on my shophomemade.com site. I have plenty of materials to make new stuff and of course lots of projects started. I also have some commissions coming up, a wedding and some other pieces I have been asked to do. It's a slow start to the year, my office is still in disarray since the holidays, was hoping to clean it up some today but was totally unmotivated. How's this for a dillemna? - want to work on new jewelry but workbench is a mess, but unmotivated to clean it up. Time to start the flylady timer and do 15 minutes at a time, I can do that, right? Oh, and wanted to add the complete Use the Muse contest entry, I didn't win, or even place, but I stretched my imagination and love this design!!
