So I did take the pictures tonight - it seemed better than starting up a work project I wouldn't have time to finish. I'll post some here, but definitely go and check out the shop! I have to revamp that too, but that's going to be awhile. I will say, enjoyed making jewelry all day with Mac at my side. He's become quite affectionate. Josie came and checked on us often, but mostly enjoyed a quiet day in my room. Both cats are with me now - Mac is out for the count, Josie is waiting for me to go to bed.

Rainy Saturdays

I have a mile long list of things to do - finish organizing, put up shelves, get my dining room table together, manuscripts x 4, budget, mail packages, etc etc...so of course I spent the day making jewelry. I made some nice things (if I do say so myself) that have no purpose - sometimes I make things to match an outfit or for a specific person, but today was just looking at beads and having fun matching colors and sizes. I'll post pictures when I take them - I'm hoping to do that tomorrow, it's better when it's sunny.

I also FINALLY watched Shawshank Redemption. It's one of those movies that fell through the cracks for me (like Finding Nemo) - I never saw it when it first came out, and then time went on and on. I bought the DVD a few years ago, but just never got around to watching it. It is a great movie. Though probably not as life-changing as it was built up to be for me, but I did enjoy it.

I'm debating starting to work on my work-work now. It's almost 8:30pm, and I'm waiting on dinner and starting on the red wine...maybe not the best idea!

How much is that Josie in the window? Josie was helping me take pictures of my jewelry - if you look carefully at some shots you'll see her in the background.

And this is Mac attacking my new camera after Christmas. I just love his extra toes, and thought this was a fun picture of them.

This is interesting.

Cheese tasting at the Koshland

Excellent night at the Koshland Science museum. Dr. Catherine Donnelly from UVM gave a talk about the history and safety issues of cheeses - not what I was expecting exactly, but interesting. We also know some of the same people, so small world. The cheese was very good - all of them. I think my favorites were Mt. Tam Cowgirl Creamery Camembert and the Cabot Clothbound Cheddar. I also liked the Comte Reserve, though I didn't at first until I cleaned my palate with the Perrier :) This one took a bit to enjoy - but it was extremely good. The parmesan and bleu cheese were also both good, but not something I can eat a lot of by themselves.

Looking forward to a three day weekend of beads, papers, cleaning and finally (hopefully) putting together my dining room table. Since the dishwasher is now running, I feel I have already started on the cleaning. And that may also be the end of it :) I was very productive last week - here's hoping the same happens this weekend!

A few recent creations. All are still for sale at http://www.moerose.etsy.com/, though the bottom one may end up staying with me! There is just something about yellow jade that I really love!

How about 9 months since posting?

So I'm going to try to get this going again, and add more from my shop on Etsy. So I'll do my best to keep things interesting and pretty. My goal is to do all of this over the weekend - while also putting together my new dining room table, shredding all those pesky files in my dining room to make room for the new dining room table, making jewelry, working on manuscripts and doing a good solid clean of the apartment. Do you think I can do that in three days???
