lillian13Both the Muppet Show Season 2 and the Tick Season 2 DVDs are scheduled for release August 7, just a little too late to ask for them on my birthday. Guess I'll have to settle for asking for a jewelers bench or a soldering torch. Hah!
OK, as anyone who actually knows me personally figured out a long time ago, I am not an early-morning type person. But to show you how much in love I am with the jewelry fabrication class I've been taking, I have managed to talk my boss into letting me come in at 7:30 in the morning two days a week, so I can leave early enough to make the 3:30 Jewelry Fabrication II class, the latest it's offered in the summer. (Oh, yeah, it runs until 8:30 pm.) *facepalm* Well, it's only until the end of July. Now I need to order more saw blades and start sketching out my ideas for the 3 class projects I'll have to do, so I can buy my silver. (I'm really glad I have a business and a tax number, buying silver is much cheaper with a wholesale account.) Hmmm. Maybe I'll have time to run by the Gem & Mineral Society clubhouse and finish up a couple of cabochons for those projects. That would be cool.
The last class of this semester is tomorrow. I WILL finish and set my bezel by then. This has been kicking my ass and I don't know why.
Because of this class, my soldering skills are much much better than they were, I can set a rivet (though it isn't pretty yet), and my cold-forging skills are tons better than they were. I have managed to wow the instructor with my mad wire skillz, which is cool. Four years of practice will do that.
I really need to add a torch and accessories to my bench so I can get started on things for the fall/holiday buying season.
I have made a lovely silver ring, and should have one done for the Nephew not too long after the next class starts. (It's the first time he's actually ever asked me for a piece of jewelry. I'm going to get it finished for his birthday.) Also one for the Sister-in-law, who has been kind enough to help out with class costs. Everybody else? $50. :-)
And some people need to stop breeding.
