Saturday Morning

It's chilly this early in the morning!   I'm only halfway through my second cup of coffee and I hope by the end of this posting I won't sound like I wrote it in my sleep!!

I bought some leather working tools the other day.  I'm still practicing ,  learning what to use with what thickness (rivets).   We may need to move into a barn with all the hammering (sometimes me yelling with the hammering) and I would love to be able to learn how to make lampwork beads.  Can't have that in an apartment. 

I need a new hammer.   Nuff said.

These photos don't show all the jewelry I have,  just those that really look great together.   The Turquoise,  corals,  spiny oysters and all the copper and sterling silver.   My friend named these the "Scottsdale" line.  Sounds good to me!! 

I can sit for hours and make chain.  I timed myself one time.  To make a foot of chain,  it took me an hour and a half.   You figure the time to cut the length,  make sure it's blunt cut,  twist it and connect it,  it does take a while.  Or,  maybe I'm just slow.  Don't know.  But I do love doing it!!

For some reason,  I never make a lot of earrings.  I do love earrings.  I was in Macy's the other day and found a gorgeous pair of earrings......

This is such a cute pair!!!    I haven't worn them but a couple of times.  

Have a great weekend.  We're going to do the same!

Thanks for stopping by!
