Excitement All Around

1.  We recently got back from a little vacation to Vermont.

2.  We got a great new car!!

3.  Our daughter says alpaca.  (So stinking cute!)

4.  I just gave the ok that I would like to work on some interesting metal pieces.

5.  I have some repairs to do.  They are for my mom, but they are still repairs, and I think they are fun. 

6.  I have some new jewelry projects to work on.  (Sneak Peek.  Don't worry, they are always prettier in my head and once they are done than they are on paper!)

7.  I started working on a jewelry course curriculum.   It has quite a way to go, but I think it is a great start, and I am really excited about it.  

8.  We picked our own strawberries a few weeks ago, and my husband made really delicious jam with some.  I think raspberries are almost ready for picking... I CAN'T WAIT!

That's all I've got for now.  

Cheers!

Whoops!

Oops! #1
I have had so many ideas, and thought so much about posts that I want to write, that I didn't think it had been so long.

Oops! #2
I was starting to become worried that toys or other such things were acting as voodoo dolls.  This SUPER FUN pull car was broken the same day the radiator went in the car that I drive.

The difference is, I could fix this car myself with some superglue.

(And I did.)

I am hoping there is nothing else going on with my car- I have to clean up some of the super glue on this yellow one.

In other news:

I am still very excited about some jewelry that I am working on.  I can't wait to share it once it is done!

Also, I think I am going to start working on writing up a metals course that I would like to teach.  I am not sure where I will start, but this is exciting, too!

And... Still working on the job search for my wicked smart, super talented and amazing husband.  Ideas are welcome.
