custom rugged wedding band and a great weekend

a friend wanted the perfect wedding band for her soon-to-be husband, complete with their local mountain range, the la plata mountains.

this is what i came up with; i am now offering it in my shop as the custom "rugged" wedding band (as opposed to the custom "rustic" wedding band). folks can send me images of their mountains and i will put them on a ring.

when i first showed glenn, he was able to name each of the peaks in the range.

this is the actual range.

we gave her a very thorough cleaning and then we took the camper out for her first trip right away on sunday. it was awesome!

we made a delicious dutch oven breakfast with potatoes, eggs, sausage, cheese, and green chili

and ate it inside.

we also had our first swim of the season in the river. it is the perfect way to refresh on these super hot afternoons.

i hope you all had a good weekend as well!

the equipment fairy

my horoscope for the year, in my we'moon, said wonderful things about possibilities and generosity this year. one part of it was, "other people's resources will be generously available, from inheritances to bank loans; seriously consider using this support to establish a fresh and enduring base of operations during '08-'09." i had forgotten all about it until all these amazing things started happening for me, making everything possible for me to live my dream as a silversmith staying at home with my children.

shortly after our huge remodeling project was finished, another wonderful thing happened. i was "in the right place at the right time" (another lovely coincidence) and met sharon king. she just happened to have every tool i could ever need for my silversmithing, all top of the line, very high quality equipment, sitting in her garage gathering dust and needing a new home. after talking for a while, we agreed that she would VERY generously not only sell her equipment to me for a screamin' deal, but finance it as well. i now pay her a small monthly payment and my shop is 100% set up! (please see photos.) THANK YOU SHARON!!!
