Today was a very productive day, however, I don’t have anything to show for it-yet.
One the upside, I got filters and a spindle ordered for my new polishing motors and dust collector. I ordered all of the supplies I have been in need of from Rio Grande-including abrasive wheels for the polishing motors, drill bits for the quick change hand piece that doesn’t fit my old bits, silver sheet and wire (that I really did need-but ordered more than I should have because silver is only $11 big ones an ounce…also on the upside)
On the downside, I really broke the bank.
On the upside- I’ll be able to finally start and finish everything at home now.
On the downside, a show that I had applied to was cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. It was a Christmas show at a local historical mansion. It would have been a good one.
On the upside, I applied to do the Christmas show at Fisher-Price. I’ll be the fanciest shmanciest crafter in the whole darn place.
On the downside, that’s just an opinion. It helps my self esteem.
On the upside, I finally figured out what to do for my big necklace piece that I’m working on. I Finished the waxes and delivered them to my casting co. and they’ll be done on Thursday!
On the upside, I played my banjo homework perfectly.
On the downside, when I went to record it, I got fumble fingers- and after 50 times of getting halfway through my song I decided to give my poor boyfriend’s ears a break.
On the upside, I got in a lot of extra practice for the day.
So, you see- today was a very productive day. I feel very good about what I got done, I also feel panicky, anxious, excited, sick, giddy, and relieved about my big orders. It took a lot of self convincing to swallow my plate of brussel sprouts and invest in the tools and supplies I’ve been needing. (Of course, now that I broke the bank, I’ll gladly take that plate of brussel sprouts without a single complaint. I promise. At least until I pay off the goods. Then you can take your sprouts and scram!)
On the upside, tonight any anxiety, worry, panic, fears, and doubts that I have will be gone when I bury my face in this guy’s gigantic buttery soft ears-and go to sleep.

Thanks for your comments Carrie. The jewelry on your website is gorgeous! And your studio is amazing too!
My jaw dropped when I saw the picture of Sweet pea. She does look a lot like milo, however the rat terrier in the picture looks exactly like my Mom’s dog, and Milo’s best friend, Bailey!
Thanks for reading!
Oh my goodness! Milo looks so much like my dog Dingo! At least in that pic he does. How cute! Here is a photo of Dingo and Sweet Pea.

Enjoying your blog!
HA! What a great post!! I love your sense of humor. Keep pushing and it will all be worth it! I may have to put my entire family on brussel sprouts (ew) or maybe just bread and water for a while….Janice
Thanks Mom 🙂
I can’t wait to see your stuff on Thursday!
