Can you believe???

I sure can't believe that a week ago I said that I would be posting pictures of some earrings. Well, let me tell you. I've been working on it. First, my tumbler died on me. Finally made my way to Harbor Freight to get a new one. Some day I'll have me a real good one, like a hundred years from now when maybe I'll be able to afford one.

So, then, I made some earrings. Still have to get pictures. I planned on making some bracelets. My jump ring maker works fine, but, guess what????? The thingy that you put on your flex shaft to cut them won't work right. Or maybe, it's the saws~~~~I don't know.
I just ordered some new ones and I hope they work. Ever get the feeling that no matter what you do things just won't go right????

I did make a bunch of earrings but I'm so disappointed that I didn't get to work on the bracelets like I had planned to.

Well, tomorrow is another day. Tyler is coming over to spend the day with us and I always look forward to that. We always have a nice time with the grandkids.

More to come when I get pictures of the earrings.

COOL STUFF

I was checking out LLYYN'S blog the other day. She's such a talented artist. Anyway, she mentioned that she bought some things from PatinaQueen over at ETSY. So I took a look. Little keys, jump rings, chain, filigree pieces,bead caps and etc.etc.etc.
I received my order yesterday and Lynn was right. Look at the cool stuff I got!!

All of the patina is done by Patina Queen and the quality is excellant. Here's more.



Aren't these little swallows adorable??? I'm getting all kinds of inspiration from these pieces. But first, I have some commission work to take care of.

Guess I'd better get busy!
