Are These!!!!

Frye Veronica Shortie Boots!!

Blogging will be light because I have to do everything around here.

This week is already too busy I am going to put blogging aside for a bit.  Maybe a bit and blurb here and there but that'll be about it.  Oh, and of course new items will always be shown. 
I had a mini-meltdown last evening (poor Chris).  I was organizing my week and IT IS FULL!  Between my 20% off sale that will run from a Pre-Holiday Sale to a Thanksgiving Sale to a Black Friday Sale to a Cyber Monday Sale.  Thanksgiving holiday is at my brother Jeff's this year.  I am making a cherry cheesecake and sweet potato casserole.  I should make that Wednesday evening. Black Friday I go shopping beginning in the middle of the night with Mom because it's just FUN.  Today I have a huge list of made to order orders, Danny has an appointment at 12:30 and Pippa needs a check up at the vet.  I am making Pork Cacciatore for supper and REALLY need an AA meeting tonight.  Yesterday looked the same as today except that I had to go grocery shopping for the week AFTER making supper (Prune and gorgonzola stuffed chicken breast).  Chris walks in the door last night after being on a roof all day long and I am frantic waving my recipe around with my work apron still on and jewelry that needed to be buffed and tumbled.  He asked me what I needed and I asked him if he could make supper so I could go grocery shopping.  He said "there goes my workout" so I said forget it (I don't want to be responsible for him not beginning his new schedule)  I was not gracious though.  I screwed up my face and acted like the proper martyr/victim.  I was going over and over in my head....
"there are 4 grown men in this house and ME.  I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING!!!!" 

As soon as I realized I was shaky (low blood sugar) I had a coupla prunes and a handful of almonds.  It was like magic, my mood lifted in about 10 minutes.  I won't blame it all on a little low blood sugar, I was acting like a child.  I cooked supper (it was soooo yummy, I'll have to post the recipe) Will and his friend (who was sleeping over) and I quickly ate and went shopping.  Chris and Jason then ate and cleaned the kitchen while we were gone.  We arrived home at 9:30pm, unpacked the groceries and I had tea and went to bed.

So yeah, the blogging will be a bit light for a bit.

PRE HOLIDAY SALE!

I have not accomplished nearly what I had hoped to so far today.  I have been very busy around the house.  I wanted to make fresh bread to have with dinner tonight but I am running out of time.  Shaw's bakery will have to do.  Mom and Dad are coming over for our weekly super together and card game.  The standings are Dad & Chris 6 Mom & I 4.  We need to kick some serious but tonight.  You would not believe how competitive my sweet mother is.  It is hilarious.  I am so looking forward to it.
Chris called me this afternoon from the car and told me he stopped in to see someone we have not seen in a really long time.  Someone very special.  Someone I miss.  I love you Trish.

I stole these pictures

from Cathy's facebook page.

busy week

I have not kept up with the blog this week but there is not much to report.  It's been a busy week in the studio.  I have a few new designs to photograph and list.  That probably won't happen until Monday.  It's 5:30AM and I am getting ready to leave for the Women of Faith conference in Hartford.  I am tired but excited.  I am accustomed to 8-9 hours of solid uninterrupted sleep every night.  Last night I watched Ugly Betty reruns with Chris on Netflix and went to bed at 11PM waking up at 4AM to get ready.  Will and his friend are still up.  They are pulling an "all-nighter" playing the newly released x-box game Call of Duty three billion or some-such.  I brought them to the market last night and allowed a purchase of a 12pk of Mountain Dew, a big bag of Doritos, and Subway subs.  To be 14 again....
I think they just finished the last of the Mountain Dew, they are in the back room and they sound giddy. 

I better get a move on.  Have a great weekend!

Sunday

It's been a pretty quiet day for a change.  The extra hour this morning before church was nice.  My mom and Dad came over on Friday to have supper and play cards.  We have been getting together at least once a week to eat a meal together and play set back.  I really love spending time with them, they are so much fun.  My father is doing well.  He is really giving it 100% with his heart healthy lifestyle.  He goes to cardiac rehab three times a week.  He can't drive for 4 more months because of the defibrillator.  His spirits are great.  He's a pretty upbeat person naturally.  I really had absolutely no idea how much I loved him.  Maybe that sounds weird but I just didn't know until we almost lost him.  I just hope the Lord works powerfully on my parents hearts.  I want to be with them someday in heaven. 

Anyway, I was puttering around and saw these ....

 I LOVE  Koroit Boulder opals.  These two cost a pretty penny.  Looking at beautiful stones is one of my very favorite things to do.  I think I like a lot of stones that are "ugly-pretty" like the Mexican Jelly Opals.

I also just found this! It's Priday Plume Agate (a $200 stone)  Wow.

I am excited to go to the Women of Faith weekend in Hartford Connecticut this Friday and Saturday with a group of women from my church.  I have never attended anything like this for a weekend.  I am looking forward to it.  It will do me some good to get away for just a bit as I am emotionally & mentally drained.  It's good to recharge the batteries.

Kyanite and Ruby Bracelet

I don't create very many "gemmy" looks so I am happy to have created something a bit different.
