Lunch break

Just taking a little break from the studio at the mo. Made myself some Mac & Cheese.
Ate the whole thing to myself.



Ugh.


I do it every time I make meals like this (comfort meals from my youth. Beans on toast falls in there too, and I get no end of grief about my love of Beans on Toast)
I make it all up and eat WAY too much. But it feels so good and tastes so good that I can't seem to help myself.
And it's a grey dreary day over here, so I feel like comfort food.

I'll jog later and balance it all out.




Three new pendants in the works today. I did one up last week to establish whether or not it was going to work. Finished that one up last night and it's so cute! Beads on the INSIDE!
WHOA!
I'll take better pictures when the sun comes back out!

And some other stuff I've been plugging away at...



I made myself an inventory list so I can keep track of everything that I have on hand so I can make sure that I get enough ready for OOH. I'm getting nervous at how quickly the time is flying by! November sounds like it's still a way off, but I am reeling a little bit that it's already August!

BACK TO WORK GIRL!!

Yes!

Sweethearts and Scrambled eggs

When we had made the fort in the back of the car last weekend (2 weekends ago now I guess) Norman had a bit of a sneak while we were up top on the boat. He clambered over all of our stuff that we had piled up specifically so he COULDN'T get at any of the food that we hid at the bottom of the pile in the front seat.
We were unsuccessful.
Please note the state of this egg carton when we returned from the arcade...

We also returned to a VERY guilty looking dog. We discovered him with the remains of gluten free brownies on his breath.
(they were cocoa based, he's fine, just a sneak)
Needless to say we'll be investing more time into hiding the food the next time we go anywhere without him.

In studio news, I've got some hilariously cute pendants on the go for OOH. So cute!


Tiny gold hearts on super fine cahins (not pictured) I found the perfect chains for these the last time I was in town at one of the jewellery suppliers and I am really excited to get these together. I'll order more gold and the chains when I get paid next.
Eee! so cute! I'm having a bit of a moment with the cuteness right now.

Another ring is in the works too. I'll set a little chalcedony cab in there once it's all cleaned up.

And I've finally started cleaning up my sister's ring for her too. It's been in my bag since she gave it to me a long time ago totally forgotten! But you can see, it's getting worked on now. (I've taped up the stone so I don't scratch the heck out of it while I file the huge scratches out of it)




And in totally unrelated news, we've rearranged the house a little bit more. We've taken the G4 and brought it into the living room. Now I can work on the computer while the Man is in the studio working on his computer and we don't have to grumble about eachother holding us up anymore.
Perfecto!
