Hello Blog Friends – I just wanted to say thank you so much for all of the good wishes for my cousin. He is still in the hospital but is doing better. Still not sure when he’ll get to go home but hopefully that date is getting closer.
I continue to be busy with work and honestly I don’t see that changing much for a long while but I’m still also doing my yoga, doing my crafting and of course relaxing with a lot of books, more on that in a minute.
But, speaking of my crafting, here are my first pair of earrings! Well, you only get to see one for now.
They turned out a bit longer than I had planned on but I loved working on the copper and torching it to give it that rusted, old look. I’m still a bit in awe that I used a torch! haha… I still have a few more classes and my next project is another set of earrings but I’ll also be using beads for those. Anyway, lots of fun what with all that hammering and sawing to ease away a stressful day.
In book news, I finished The World We Found by Thrity Umrigar the other day. Not my favorite book of hers but very readable. I think what bugged me a bit was the ending that I didn’t have the closure I was expecting. Now I’m reading a romantic suspense novel which I’ve just started so we’ll see how that goes.
Hope you are all doing well and I’ll try not to be such a stranger in blogland.
You have been busy! The earrings are gorgeous and I am glad your cousin is doing better!
Glad to hear your cousin is improving. Lovely earrings. I would never guess they were your first pair!
I LOVE those earrings. So unique. Can’t wait to see what else you make.
I’m so happy to hear that your cousin is getting better! And I love the earrings!
I love the earrings!
Lovely earrings! Hope your cousin is continuing to improve! And do tell which book you’re reading–I like romantic suspense.
Glad to hear all the good news!
Pretty earrings.
Good for cousin’s recovery
It sounds like you’ve been quite busy lately! I’m glad to hear that your cousin is doing better. And the earring turned out very nicely!
I enjoy ur blog and comment about doing yoga, you should try Body Flow yoga sometime. we do it at our gym in minneapolis and it works wonders.
Sorry I didn’t stop by earlier than today (I’ve been a BAD blogger too). I’m glad to hear that your cousin is doing ok and that you’ve been getting in a lot of reading (and a jewerly making class – how cool)!
Love the earrings! I haven’t been here in a while, so I didn’t realize you had a cousin who was so ill. I’m glad he’s doing better and hope he gets out of the hospital soon.
