Happy December!!! Hoping for lots of sales for all!

Whoo Hoo!!! First page of the thread!

[ChrissiLynnDesigns]

And the first post! It's going to be a great month!

Done with work for the day. Eyes glazing over....

Had a fun time in the garagio tonight. Finished a scrabble tile pendant, a charoite ring and started a pair of earrings (or maybe two 'single earrings).

Happy Monday morning to those posting next!

Morning. Happy December everyone!

Just 3 weekends to go until Xmas. eeek!

Morning all :)

Thanks for the new thread C.G.

Mince pie anyone ?

[MostlyStoneware]

Yes, I miss my mother's mincemeat but I don't think I'm going to be grinding suet. Good morning.

[LauraStasa]

fyi- Rio starts their sale at 8am. Not sure what time zone though.

[heartsabustin]

Mountain Standard is what the email said, Laura. :)

*hands out mince pies*

we did our own mincemeat this year as I'm a fussy bugger - dried morello cherries, dates, nuts, lots of citrus and cognac :)

[MostlyStoneware]

sounds good Karen, so does the sale.

I may or may not have eaten half the ingredients before they went in.....

[Untwistedsister]

Good to know about rio. I just went there and the clock still ticking...

Is there a way after a partial refund on PayPal to also get transaction fees for the refunded amount refunded from Etsy?

[PPennee]

short answer Terri- No. I fiddled with that last month and never figured out a way. Seems you only get transaction refund from Paypal, but not Etsy unless it's a CC

Morning. It's 34F warmer this morning than yesterday. That's how 4F feels balmy.

Good morning!

The amazon discount is a joke. If you read the fine print, it is capped at $10 per household. And, even so, it is calculating the wrong discount for my cart. I have over $50 in books (sold and delivered by Amazon) and the discount is only $9.31.

[cgwhitfield]

I may get the largest discount from Rio, I'll have spent zero dollars. Unless someone tells me they're selling Foredoms for less than $150...

Simple(?) forging of earrings.

I'm particularly enthralled with the bit starting around 2:20 where he hammers the end of the earring, drawing it out into a wire.

[cgwhitfield]

Great youtube. My kind of people.

Most of us never come close to fully exploiting the wonderful properties of sterling for forging.

[PureDichotomy]

Holy crap. great video.

[PPennee]

That is one wild hammer he is using at the end! I know I have forged out ear wires- he makes it look easy- it is not! I broke a lot of wires off going too fast or hitting them too hard. It is fun to do though- not very practical if you're trying to make a lot!
