not much

not much going on here. we have had a chill weekend at the house. been on the computer alot and have ignored my sweater crafts.

went out friday night to barley's and broadway's. heard that the old car dealership on merrimon has been bought to make two 10 story buildings....and guess what will be in them? condos! can't wait for such a neat thing to move on in our burg! we had fun being out though, and even saw some people we know!

i am interested in this car. a smart car. the only thing is that the gas milage is not all that great. i really want some kind of car that runs on renewable energy. do you think that i will be able to get a good one 5 years from now? that is when i think my Honda might die.


i bought some new trade show carpet. it comes in blocks you can fit together. pretty cool. i am hoping to have a bad ass booth at my trade shows that are coming up. the buyer's market of american craft is in philly feb 14-21 and the acc baltimore show runs feb 22-28. i hope the red looks classy yet funky without being overwhelming.



jamie and i made some delicious chili tonight for dinner using deer meat that our friend gave us. we cooked it all day in the crock pot and it did not taste gamey at all. yum! jamie likes it with oyster crackers, but i prefer to have some chips to scoop with. but as we have no chips, i enjoyed the oyster crackers, as well.

i received 2 books from Lark Books on friday, both of which have my work in them. 500 Wedding Rings was super fun to look through and will be a great reference. Modern Jewelry from Modular Parts was fun because my piece is on the cover! also fun because i know most of the contributors and i liked seeing us all work together in the same book. 2 of the jewelers are right in my studio, amy tavern and molly dingledine! awesome!


i am getting over my cold but have had some severe headaches due i think to sinus pressure. awful! the walk with jamie & the ladies (trudy and sadie) did make me feel really good this afternoon though, after the rain.

have a good one!
