The month from you know where

Thursday, October 15, 2009


Yeah, I just figured out how to run the printer... ugh


Oh yeah, Thanks Ty... I remember now


Embarrassment


Made peace with the Mac


Oh... I can't believe I just messed it up again!


I'm ready to pull my hair out!!!


New Sun blossoms


Just listed today ~homegrown glass, cast floral bouquet on rigid heavy gauged silver wire, strung onto soft brown deerskin leather.


The new "Tapestry ring, more to come and a belt buckle to match



The new computer has proven me to be an absolute idiot, not knowing how to install a program is enough to drive anyone nuts! It's pretty sad when I thought that I knew it all then to have your kid laugh, tell you to get out of the way and then show you up! My son and I had a blast trying to figure it out... or should I say HE had a blast watching me mess everything up. It all worked out, a lot of crazy laughs, frustration (on my part), embarrassment and surrender.

Whew!

Tomorrow we head up to the Sierra's on an annual fishing trip, the trip where I sit in a tin boat and hope to catch the big one while shivering so hard I've burned a thousand calories by breakfast and wondering if I'll ever lose my summer blood (still have the flip flops out).

In all honesty, I'm truly there for the pictures and with high hopes I'll capture something new, something soul filled and true. I've been holding onto some pretty heavy things lately, it's time to let it loose and see what happens.

There's still a lot of silver pieces left from the show that I'm battling to list. I'll attempt listing them next week. A lot of smaller rings, perfect for a youth. I've got new pieces for the holiday season and will list early November.

Off to find that parka, beanie and the smart wool from my dearest North wood's friends, Thank you Kathleen, Sherry and Joy! Also my new "Mitties" from Marie, my Alaska friend ;o) You're all so wonderful to think of me while on my journey as well as working in the cold, I appreciate every single conversation, laugh and precious gifts from all of you.

Hope to share my weekend next week, until then!

Love the pictures :) I'm glad you finally "made peace with the MAC". Hope your trip is fantastic! Soak up every minute of it. Can't wait to see what new pretties you list in the shop in the coming weeks!

Glad to hear the weather didn't cancel your trip--enjoy the beauty and fill your lungs and soul with that air!

Stay warm, too!!!!!!!

And congratulations on making peace with your Mac--you look quite lovely in the photos, not at all like a woman losing her sanity with technology. :-)

You are the most beautiful frustrated woman I have ever seen :) I get all red and sweaty and puffed up like a mad frog :)

Thanks for all of your sweet comments, unfortunately Mac and I still haven't reconciled and frankly.... I don't like him/her very much right now!

The weekend in the Sierra's was amazing and just what I needed. If any of you ever get a chance to visit The Sierra's from Tahoe down to the June lake loop during October, do it! The Aspen are at their peak and dancing their last dance.... just beautiful!

Pictures coming soon, just as quick as I can re-learn photoshop "the mac way"!
