Some progress has been made...


Alright - well, here's the necklace for my boss. I still have to make the bracelet, which will be the same concept as the necklace. That's the project for tonight. That, and making the necklace slightly longer, since I adjusted wrong.
Also, I started working on my dog's scrapbook last night. I picked up the pictures at Meijer yesterday, and they turned out great. I finished one page, and then started another one, but haven't finished it yet.

Off to do things...

I'm sure I have better things to do!

That's right - I don't really feel like doing much at the moment except sitting on the couch. Now, granted, I did put dishes in the dishwasher, and there's laundry going. However, I haven't gotten much further than that today. I mean, I guess that's ok. Aren't the weekends for relaxing?

Yesterday felt like the longest day ever. First, it felt like a Sunday to me, since I had taken Friday off. So, I was just thrown off most of the day. Then, I went over to Eric's parents' house to help his mom take care of the two nephews (ages 2 years old and 3 months old). So, that wiped me out. I was over there until probably about 2:30pm, then got lunch, and went out to the mall area for a purse open house with his mom and brother's girlfriend. Luckily, I talked them into going to JoAnn's, and I got my book and stuff for Dakota's scrapbook. Now, I just have to get the pictures printed.

Also, this week is going to be consumed by a new project. I have been tasked with making my boss' birthday present. I was a little nervous about it at first, but that was when I wasn't sure what I was going to do. However, I went on Friday night to the Creative Fringe in Grand Haven and got some large turquoise pieces, chain, clasps, and I think I'm going to pair some tiger eye nuggets that I have with all of it. In my brain, it looks good, but we'll see how the actual product works out. In that case, I'm leaving the dog in Muskegon this week with Eric, because I wouldn't be productive with her around in Lansing.

I've kind of slowed down in the jewelry making. It's been a little frustrated for me, because a) I haven't sold anything on my webpage, b) I just haven't had any inspiration. I'm hoping that will change this week with my new project. I just hope that at some point, I can get something going.
