Went a Shopping

Since we were planning on driving down to C&C's to see the new baby (and give books to the toddler, so he doesn't feel left out, and forgot the books), lawnchair and I took a side trip to JoCo for shopping. I had a gift certificate to spend. And wanted to stop by a bead shop for more glass beads from their grab tub. I got so distracted by gemstone beads on clearance that fit the idea of one of the necklaces I didn't get done by Christmas I almost forgot. Then got my books. And stopped by three Goodwills, finally buying two bracelets for bead sacrifice. Had a good time with C&C (though didn't eat the plantains).

So far I haven't done the things I should. Instead I finished Season 1 of Supernatural and bent wire for a necklace. Not going well. I'm out of practice or more exacting than I used to be. Though what I've done so are looks cool. The beads I got are great for this. Will post pictures when done.

CSI and Crafting

Didn't get far on the tasks I told myself to do, other than enrolling for next semester. Instead, watched TV and crafted.

Finished the first season of supernatural and the garnet necklace. It turned out the way I wanted. The wire wrapping on the center garnet went different than I planned, but I like it. I then made another pair of earrings with silver wire. I used some green and purple glass danglies and dark purple amethyst. Pretty awesome. Then played around with another Christmas necklace. It did not want tiger eye. I kept trying, but it ended up with glass. Looks cool, though. Pictures when I get a bit more done.

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Finally, my super sekrit recipe. So sekrit, I had to recreate it. I think this is right.
