Did you ever have one of those days that you completely trashed because you were trying to find something you misplaced? That was a major portion of my day. I did get a little bit done, but most of it was spent "looking", and no. I wasn't successful. Dang!
I also know myself well enough to know that this dog won't let go of the bone. I'll keep searching - to the exclusion of all else - until I find "it".
How was your day?
Six pounds of local ground beef became seven pints of shelf-stable canned beef. No need to take up freezer space or wait for thawing. It's ready and waiting for future barbecues, tacos, or whatever else I'd like to do with it. Believe me when I say it's always worth the effort
I didn't get to stitch today, but I did set up a new project. I'll share photos tomorrow
Thanks to a long-distance friend, I got a lead on a wonderful cache of now-discontinued Kreinik metallic kid leather. My order arrived yesterday. A nice surprise was that there were bonus pieces, over and above what I purchased.
Now, I have more than enough to use in future goldwork projects for personal use, as well as projects to sell.
I'm also waiting for new brilliant check purl colors (and other metallic threads) to use in those projects. I'm looking forward to more wee frogs, bridal brooches, perhaps koi fish, and thanks to a brilliant suggestion via a blog post comment, baptismal brooches. I also have ideas for a few other brand new designs.
I'm working on new patterns for my shop once the sale ends, because my plan is to revamp much of what you see there now. That's news for another day, though. I'll tell you all about that soon enough.
Work went really well yesterday, and my shift was over almost before I knew it. I was pooped, so it was an early night for this girl.
Today will be another busy one. Handsome has an appointment in town, but if you're looking for me, I'll be in the kitchen this morning after I pack up my current orders. I intend to get some needle dancing in this afternoon. Photos tomorrow! So, I'm pouring a cuppa and will see you then.
