Made jewelry

Image
Women's Works is coming up Nov 5th and I was informed I was making jewelry to sell. When the Crone speaks, you listen hehehehehe. Yes'm! Granted, when my friend told me I was making something that finally got me off my butt and start putting things together. Hit Spence's Hardward for wire (WAY cheaper then the craft store, esp copper wire) and then the craft store for earring findings and then Sure Shot Sporting Goods for swivels of various sizes and types for making my mobiles. Then I got to tear apart hard drives. Taking apart hard drives is fun and can be done while watching the telly. Putting together the earrings to. I dug out some glittery beads I had from way back when (have to go thru my jewelry box and see what I can re-purpose from there). Made a total of 16 pairs of earrings, most from the read arms from the hard drives. I've started some simpler ones made from assorted rings and things and still need to go thru the parts bins to see what else can be made

So recently, thanks to the fact I have recently turned 50, had to go thru the ritual of the scoping of the colon (or in plain English, a colonoscopy). Great, just what I would like to avoid, but with a family history of various cancers (no colon cancer that I know of tho) I have to keep up on the screenings to just play it safe. Had the boobie squishing done last week (everything is ship shape and Bristol fashion) and now it was time for the camera going places no camera should really go. The morning before I set up the prep fluid. Went with the cherry flavor as being the least objectionable of the flavors offered (orange, lemon-line and pineapple were the others) and stashed it in the fridge to make sure it was good and cold by that evening. I had been assured by friends, colleagues and family that the prep is the worst of the ordeal. I can say that as liquids go, the solution wasn't that bad as long as it stayed very, very cold. It didn't taste like cherry tho, more lik

But at least the week is half over. Discovered another leak in the hallway ceiling the hard way. Stepping into a cold puddle of water when you aren't really awake and haven't and any coffee is NOT the way to start the morning. SO I mopped up, grabbed the wet book (of course it HAD to be over the book shelves) to set up to dry and grab a bucket. Have to get up and figure out where the leak is this time and get it fixed as best we can. Had my first ever gluten free beer last night. We'd stopped at the Co-op to pick up some chicken breasts they had on sale and discovered they had some gluten free beers. So we grabbed a couple of bottles, one called Redbridge from Anheuser-Bush and the other from New Planet . Decided to start with the Redbridge and hold the New Planet for another night. The Redbridge wasn't bad, it had a nice beery taste, tho not quite the full flavor I am used to from regular beer. It was also a little bit sweet, not off puttingly so for me tho I ha
