Stuff and more stuff….
December 21, 2008
It’s been a busy holiday season here…I’m taking some much needed time off from my “day” job to relax (what’s that?) and just sort of hang out. For the sake of my family and close friends who read the blog and think I’ve fallen off the face of the earth, here’s a quick update on jewelry and not-jewelry news!
Wrestling has consumed our December. Jeremy started back up in wrestling as a freshman, and between daily practices and (at least) weekly tournaments and duals, we’ve been running all over SW Iowa and Nebraska. January isn’t looking much better 
But he LOVES the sport, and is gaining experience and having fun. Since he hasn’t wrestled since he was about 6, it was a surprise that he wanted to take it up again, but he is really enjoying it this time around. Me, I’m now crowned Mat Mom and have an idea for some Mat Mom earrings, LOL.
Final jewelry commissions are going to be completed today…even the last minute call on Tuesday this week for a brag bracelet! Generation Gems pulled through and “Rod’s” wife will be very pleased that her gift is going to be on time.
I’m breaking into the stash I got from EarthBazaar a couple of weeks ago. They are still running their end of the year sale, and I picked up some yummy gems. One complaint about EB is that the drills in their gemstones are tiny…but I just take out my trusty battery operated reamer (from Beadalon) and ream away. I find reaming out stones to be therapeutic…one of those mindless things that I enjoy.
And since the weather outside is frightful (it’s stinking COLD and there are windchill advisories), I’ll hunker down today and work on a few projects. And maybe get those Christmas cards out…New Year’s cards, anyone?
