October??


Hi!


WOW I cannot believe that it is almost October. Fall is my favorite season but like spring, it is too short! I am so glad that my Piper came now instead of the dead of winter. I know they say it is easier to housebreak a puppy in the winter but who cares! It is nice leaving her with all of her baby sitters outside for a few hours.


Speaking of Piper, she is a really good puppy. A little stubborn but nothing that I cannot handle. She does not like it when you are mad at her so I think she will be very eager to please.


The rest of the year in terms of jewelry is BUSY! 4 home parties!!! This is great and I am busy making some new pieces and more fall/winter pieces so stay tuned!


Well I am off to socialize Piper over Linda's house. She gets to see a cat and 2 Vizslas:)


Have a good one!!

9/11

Hello,



Sitting her watching a show on 911. Wow - what an aweful day in history. I think that everyone remembers where they were when they 1st found out about it - I sure do.



My prayers go out to all of the family and friends of the victims as I am sure that they are still grieving to this day.



Getting ready for the Rocky River Fall Arts Festival which will take place next Saturday. Will be very busy making more pieces as I recently had a HUGE wholesale order. While I am thrilled and honored it means that I have to make more. Hey - I could think of other things worse to do:)



Puppy front - Piper is a good dog. The only issue I have is housebreaking. I think because it has been so nice outside and she is spending so much time outside, she is getting confused. Oh well just like Rachael - she will not be 5 going to kindergarten in diapers:) Puppy class starts on Sunday but we have already starting socializing her. Took her to work today in the parking garage she had fun with Shea and loved everyone she met:)



Well - have a great weekend and talk soon.

It's Back!!










Phew - I was able to pick up my laptop from Best Buy in the nick of time! I am so excited! It's not like I do not have enough to do. I now have 4 dogs, one daugther, one husband, I work full time and make jewelry. Oh, and now I have to socialize Piper and take her to class. I love puppies it is such a great way to meet people too! The only think I HATE is housebreaking UGH!!!!!


Well I wanted to put a pic of Piper taken today at about 10 weeks. She is just a little cutie - very different than my Brittanys-much more mellow which is just awesome!


I also wanted to post a few pics of a bracelet that a gave a facelift too. If something does not sell after a certain period of time, I redo it. It has worked everytime and I like the way this simple bracelet turned out:) I did it today with a pair of earrings that were created with ear wires that were just too thick so I re-soldered a thinner piece of silver to them.

I am almost ready for the art show need to tag my necklaces and some earrings and I will be all set! Hope the weather holds up.


Have a great holiday weekend all!

Enjoy the last weekend of SUMMER!! Going to see Billy Squier on Sunday - YEAH!!! Boy am I dating myself:)
