(no subject)

Worked in the workshop both Monday and Tuesday since we had a 4-day weekend. I was in there until about 2 or 3 both days and the heat really got to me. I would come home, shower, and flop.

The big light that came with my workbench finally died--I'm convinced it was at least 25 years old--and my sister-in-law is getting me a new one for my birthday. Yay sister-in-law! She's also taking care of the cats while I'm at Comic Con.

The green pieces are copper discs that I: distressed with a hammer, put holes in, domed, and enameled with both transparent and opaque greens. I'm going to make earrings out of them. The others were all done with rubber stamps except for the bat--I sprinkled enamel over a cutout. I also made a couple of experimental runs of buttons, and I'm going to field-test them in the washer this weekend, just in case.

I was feeling kind of blah tonight so I drove across town and used my Groupon at Dog Almighty. Then I wandered into the Half Price Books and found several things I was looking for and had a nice geeky convo with the clerk. On the way home I stopped at the Hipster's Paradise (aka the main Whole Foods) and came home with some healthy things but also some truffles and a piece of ice cream cake. Hey, I'm officially in my late 40's this Sunday so I might as well celebrate!
