Halloween is only a week away. This year has flown by so fast. I am going to a festival in Lebannon (a town close by) called Witches Night Out. I went last year and had a blast. Now it's a year later.

I sold somemore jewerly on Etsy. More earrings. I was chatting with some other shop owners the other night and they are encouraging me to
list some of my yarn. So I took a few pictures of a skein that I am going to list.


It's a Columbian wool. It's a nice green/blue varigated color. I still have a whole bunch of it. I bought it at a wool swap for next to nothing. I think it was a one pound ball. Anyway I have LOTS of it left. This one skein is 192 yards.

We changed from regular HD to DVR HD yesterday and at sometime during the installation the dish was bumped or what-ever and now we are not gettig any satlitle receiption. Don is not very happy with our satilite provider's service.

I dropped my phone into some water yesterday and the screen is gone so I have to run to ATT today. (The fun just never stops.)

Catie and I worked at the local football game consessions last night. We slung hamburgers, hotdogs, brats, candy and a whole lot of other things for 2 1/2 hours. We did this to help earn money for Catie's Washington DC school trip. The work wasn't bad at all. But I did notice that a lot of little kids run loose and hopped up on sugar at these types of games.

Don's sisters were here yesterday, just passing through town. They stopped by and we went out to lunch.



I was pretty tired after the fantastic cheeseburger I had at Five Guys. I think we were all feeling a little full.





I have been working on some new pieces of jewerly. I have also been playing with polymer clay. I made these bangles out of polymer. It was pretty fun.







I made all the beads for this necklace.












I really like these earrings. I don't know if they can accutally be called steam punk but they do have a steam punkish feel to them.











I have been seeing these kinds of rings all over and thought it might be fun to try to make one. I think I did a pretty good job. Next time I will embed the wire part of the ring directly into the clay and not use a ring finding.









This is a pendant to a necklace I made. The chain is attached to the heart. I am thinking of putting it in my Etsy shop.
