Here we have Weeks 26 - 29 projects for  The Year of Jewelry Project. I actually have been pretty punctual about posting to the group, just not so much here☺ These guys have been back several times for extra helpings but I have been able to enjoy a little broccoli, cauliflower and leaf lettuce that they kindly left alone. One little one is all about the strawberry plants and the other has developed a taste for beets:( I guess sharing is a good thing..right? Anyway... here we go ~ ~ Week 26 ~ ~ Week 27 ~ Finally worked up the courage to do this in sterling silver ~ Love ~ Week 28 ~ ~ Week 29 ~   

I don't know why I have issues with stringing bracelets, but it always seems to be such a struggle to get them  'just right'. This one I loved, then I hated it (almost took it all apart) and now I think I am OK with it. I wasn't even planning on making anything this weekend. This was going to be a "clean up and organize" weekend and I started here Apparently this was a huge mistake. This is my 'lampwork' drawer and I have never really had it  organized in any particular way and I need to find a home for all of the  cabs I have for wire wrapping, so I needed to condense. This was as far as I got. (Drawer and contents currently taking up a large parcel of floor) I came across the red, white and black set of Juls Beads and decided that I was going to just GO FOR IT and pulled out my sterling silver wire (which I am usually terrified to use because I waste  so much wire when I have a vague idea and it doesn'...

I have been kind of stuck on wire wrapping.  I love it. Spent the last week working on these. I use sterling silver wire and those gorgeous lamp work glass beads I got from Julsbeads and I just love these rings! This weekend we have been just enjoying not having to go to work. Had rain all day Saturday, so I stayed in the house most of the day cleaning and organizing. (We have an appraiser coming on Thursday) It was just cloudy today, so we were able to build the ramp for the new shed. Now I can back out without being afraid of toppling off the edge.  This ramp is nice and wide. Tommorrow, more cleaning and organizing to get ready for Thursday. They are calling for more rain so it will be OK to be inside. If I get done early enough maybe I can play with my clay. It has been calling me names lately.   It has been very annoyed. It is feeling quite neglected. I think it's time to make up;~)

my age, that is..... I spent the last week recovering from last weekend and catching up on some of the things that didn't get done last weekend, while we were building the shed. This weekend consisted of finishing the construction of the shed. The roof is on, the trim is on, the screen under the eaves is in so the birds won't be nesting in there. ( Can't guarantee there won't be bats.  They can fit just about anywhere. ) All that is left is the painting and the steps.  The steps are just going to be made out of old railroad ties stacked up.  We will have a movable ramp because the shed will primarily be for storing the 4 wheelers.  We will be able to put the ramp up to get them in or out then just fold it up and slide it into the shed when we're done. I was able to carve out some time to do a couple of experiments I've desperately been wanting to start since I got these . I really like the one at the top of the post, but I think I LOVE...
