FALL FAIL

Well last night truly ended on a disastrous note, but it could have been much worse!

I spent all day moving jewelry making supplies. That lead to more reorganisation.

Work, work, work like a busy little bee.

I finally decided a real TV break was on order. You know, the kind where you actually sit on the couch and watch the TV.

I have two cats that really don't like each other at all. I inherited one when my daughter's family moved into an apartment. Territorial issues. So, small commotions don't bother me. But this was a HUGE commotion!

One of my IKEA Expedit shelves came crashing off the wall, on to the table and then the floor. In the very spot I'd been sitting not two hours earlier! I was very lucky that it didn't fall earlier!

I was sitting in that exact spot organizing my tool boxes!

Looks like my evenings this week will also be busy like a little bee!
Work, work, work!

Happy claying!

No TV = No Claying

I guess I'm a Type A personality; I can't do just one thing at a time.  I HAVE to have my TV going to play with clay.  I don't think I actually watch the TV, but the sound keeps me company!

A near disaster struck about a week ago:  the actual cable to the TV in my craft room "broke".  I had to wait a week for DTV to get out here to repair it.  So... no claying for me.  :-{  If you've never viewed pix of my craft room, check it out here.  Way too much stuff to try to move it to the living room.

So, I changed gears.  I transported a bunch of stuff for jewelry making to the living room and put a few things together.  No, this is definitely NOT everything for jewelry making!


I work a "real job" (two and a half years to retirement!!! YAYAYAYAYAY!)
So all I've done is the set on the shorter table.

Faux turquoise and coral
beads that have been sitting around for a long while waiting for inspiration.


 The earrings were the last piece of the set.
My daughter has called dibs on the set!


The TV is now repaired.
I've not yet returned to claying
because
I'm too lazy to move all this stuff back into the craft room!

Maybe today.  Maybe not.

Happy claying!
