Oscars

Oscars were amazing last night.  I don't normally watch but I like to see what jewelry trends are popular.  This year was more earrings and bracelets.  I also saw quite a few hair adornments that were breathtaking.  You can go look for your self here http://www.peoplestylewatch.com/people/stylewatch/package/gallery/0,,20332759_20349134,00.html.

I think I am going to watch Precious and The Hurt Locker out of curiosity. I had avoided Precious because I knew it was hard to watch.  The Hurt Locker isn't something that would normally appeal but I'll watch it anyways. 

My favorite jewelry came from Maggie Gyllenhaal.  I loved her earrings and the hair piece she had made.

Exciting!

I am being featured on http://girlygirlgiveaways.blogspot.com/. I have another review coming up on Le Petite Owl.

This week has been all about learning how to resize a ring. I had to saw, and solder the ring to get it down a half size. I am working on the finishing touches right now. I am also making another rock pendant for a client.

The ring


Here is the pendant. I haven't done anything to it yet but I will be lining with with fine silver and then adding a bail. I love to work with druzy.


I am having trouble waiting for spring so look forward to some flower and spring like designs. It is still cold in Texas which isn't our norm.

More later:)

TGIF

I've also been going through my jewelry and books in an effort to get my office clean and am selling a bunch of things on ebay, making new designs to sell on etsy, and building a website for my daughters school. It's come out pretty nifty so far and I'm getting to be pretty good at building a joomla website. I am also installing about a billion plugins for the extra things they need.

Oh yes, I have been really digging this new to me planning website. It has one of the BEST free s I have seen. It even has them split up by the way you work. One is an action plan for time management and they other is freelancer plan which helps manage projects. They also have a plan to get bloggers organized and a way to find out when you work most productively. If you want to check it out I highly recommend it http://www.productiveflourishing.com/premium-planners/.

I'm going to go wrap some wire and relax

Jelly Fish Earrings

I love jellyfish. They are kind of mystical creatures to me. I was born in Bermuda and at the time the jellyfish did not have stingers. My mom use to tell me stories of how she and her brothers played with them.

This is a link to a post from Livejournal

This lady but up a series of animated beading lessons. How cool is that????

Blogpress

I found a new nifty app for my iPhone. Maybe I will be able to give more consistant updates now :)

Do what I say not what I do

My son was diagnosed with ADHD when he was five but we used all natural remedies until just recently. This doctor I take him too makes all ADHD appointments at 11:30. The can't be at any other time. So because his school is 1 hour round trip I kept him home in the morning.

I made the appointment over a month ago we were all out of meds and had to make this visit. We got there at 11:28 and waited almost an hour to be seen. This doctors office has a policy that you have to reschedule if you are 15 minutes late. If you cancel after 24 hours, then they charge you a fee. So, if you are late more than 15 minutes it costs 50.00

I told the nurse we had been waiting quite a while and she said OOOooo we've been busy lots of sick kids. I felt like demanding my $50.00 fee...

I was a good and smiled at her. My son on the other hand informed her that she wasted his day and he couldn't go back to school. I swear I didn't laugh :)
