Forget the closet -Finish the Ring!

Screw cleaning the closet. Everything will have to stay in piles for awhile longer. I don't want to put away my sleeveless things - but we had frost last nite and I looked silly layering multiple things on this morning because I'm fighting taking out the winter clothes. Besides the fact I could hardly move.

And why do I only seem to have black clothes??

Almost finished a ring - it was intended for someone, but the stone is telling me "Don't let me go!" It's glossier in person... needs some polishing - a Crazy Lace Agate.

At War

I am at War with my closet. It's turned colder all of a sudden, and I'm in my annual denial again.

I went to an Organization program with my friend, Karen, who runs her own Interior Design business and is totally pulled together. She didn't need it; I did. The main 'tip' was start drawer at a time, and de-clutter, de-clutter, de-clutter.

This reminds me of dieting and exercising- we all know what to do - we just don't do it and look for new ways to get it done!

So I've taken the HGTV stupid approach of dumping everything (yes, everything) out of my closet with the attempt of making my 'keep', 'give-away', 'toss' piles - HA ! I could scream.

I mean, since I don't go to my 'corporate' job anymore - and basically only wear the same things over and over every day (or that's the way it seems) what am I doing with all this Stuff ???

I'm going to go have a cherry-lime rickey and get to it. (I actually don't know what that is but it does sound good, doesn't it?)

Thanks, Tammy!

Well, somehow I screwed up my Journal and deleted my comments...? don't remember how or when I could have done this, but Tammy was kind enough to let me know in an incredible way by posting something on her site!

I'm glad she realizes I look at her postings - actually look forward to them! Except for those darn bugs, which gives a city girl the creeps! She's got some great things and is very creative - and I like her straightforward approach to life!

Tammy's Treasure Chest. I love her mixed copper and sterling - and her choice in picking unusual stones for the right ring or pendant is awesome - but my all time favorite! check this out! UFO's Over the High Desert

Etched Copper

Been etching some copper disks in my bathroom - the only place I can lock out the cat and dog!

The important thing is to make sure to put the all-important a bleed hole in the back of the ones soldered on a backing so it doesn't explode or turn into a missile - !!!!!

2 Pendants and a Ring

Did a little work today - got a couple stones set - I need to do clean-up first but it's just so exciting to set the stones!

Another amazonite and labradorite... much prettier in person than in the pic - Maybe the papaya background doesn't help!

I love my Botswana agate ring - my hands look like they're a couple hundred years old so this will have to do.....
