Hello friends

Just a quick post to share a few bits and pieces from my day.  But first, thank you to everyone who left such sweet comments on my post about our Pups.   Many of you have furry members of the family too and really understand what I was expressing…your kind words were so good to hear.

Today it was a wonderful relief to mail off a special project…all the way to England!  This is something I’ve been working on for a time now (because I admit I work very slowly – in stages) and can’t wait to share more details later in the summer!!  Just a little hint, as you can see the secret number fits in this little rectangle box…

Working on little projects like these sometimes require having a bio picture on hand…and I have to say I’m just not happy with any I have.  Anyone else out there dislike their pictures?  Well, I happen to know quite a few of you who stop by my blog who are very photogenic, so you just don’t seem to have this problem! 🙂   I had to resort to asking my 9 year old son to take a few pictures for me…. and then my 18 month old joined in the photo shoot. 🙂

The highlight of my day today was meeting up with one of my best friends.  I’m talking about a friend who goes back 20 years.    Several years have gone by since we saw each other last which is such a shame.  She was in town for her Mother in Law’s service so we couldn’t let this opportunity pass us by.    There’s nothing like a talking about old times over a slice of cheesecake!

Now to bring this post back to JEWELRY, after all, that’s probably why you’re here…..

Remember way back when I mentioned that Richard Salley is coming to town?  His workshop is getting very close!  There is still 1, maybe 2 seats left in his Fabulous Found Objects Pendants workshop on May 24th.  There are going to be so many great techniques covered in this class…think about joining us if there is any way you can come to the DC area!  For more details, please visit the Workshops page on the fundametal’s site.
