before

after

these are some of the new pieces that i made this week for the annual show at the dolores river brewery tomorrow. (kyanite, moonstone, peruvian opal, chrysoprase, dendritic opal. swoooon.) i LOVE doing this show. remember last year? it is always so much fun; i am really looking forward to it!

olive has been out in the shop with me all week, helping out. she is such a delight to have out there with me. molly never really liked to be out there with me, and and she was so big there wasn't really much room for her.

this guy was also out there today. aren't they supposed to be good luck?

we are enjoying the start of december around here. there's a tiny bit of snow falling outside. the advent calendar is stocked.

we started a new tradition this year, in honor of the girls having their own rooms. they each got their own (pink, of course) christmas trees and we are working on decorating them.

and hazel's been rocking out.

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!!!
