Ok, I am not getting along with the Etsy app. Not only am I double posting all over the place but I also can't find how to delete them. Would a mod mind cleaning up after me and delete the mess?
Esme do you own a bead reamer ? You can heat them a bit with a butane torch and it will likely allow you to bore through. Just use oven gloves and be really slow and careful.

Weird! The mysteries of tech.
Yeah, Wendy, I know the feeling. I've walked to the grocery at some weird hours for chocolate. I think that it can really cause addiction in some people.
I am glad you got your friend's special bead re-drilled Esme! It is always scary working on something that has sentimental value.
Lucky for me there is no way to easily fill a chocolate craving. I never bring treats home and getting one requires a 2 hour paddle or walk or bike ride.
Slept like a log last night! Esme, I am probably not bi-polar lite, unless that can only happen at night, without any high/low or noticeable difference in creativity. But if I pay attention I can usually tell around 11:30 whether I am ready to fall asleep or rock and roll. If I am smart, and I am just mildly sleepy, I put another log in the fire and stay up till the wee hours doing something productive until I am for sure ready to sleep. But then I usually wake up at 7 or 8 am after 3-4 hrs feeling totally refreshed.
After a slow couple weeks I had a really good day yesterday with I 3 substantial sales to repeat customers. So have a nice wheel barrow of sales dust to share.
VERY SLOWLY making progress on setting up my studio spaces again.
I found containers of beads and stones I didn't know I had,,,,stone swap sounds good to me. Most of these are lovely , things like agates and lapis beads I thought I'd use but just never have. Among the prettiest are some sardonyx handcut and polished large 2 in stones and some Canadian labradorite. They were from 1981 ..doubt I'll ever go back to that type of boho statement stuff. So a stone trade would be fun.
If you have cocoa powder at home it's almost too easy to whip up a quick gooey chocolate cake. I wouldn't even taste it now though. Takes the fun out of eating it.
I don't have any cocoa powder right now. Next time I go to the store, I'll have to remedy that. Because, yes. Brownies are easy, too, especially if you have chocolate chips and maybe some caramel sauce in the fridge.
Well Erin, at least you are able to make a bracelet.
thats good right?

me... I just finished preparing to give a talk tomorrow night about Marketing for Artists. I wish Jen lived closer. I'd ask her to join me to talk about Instagram.
Yep. I started it last Friday, and it's now in the tumbler. I brought it to the table - sitting on my stool at the counter makes my back hurt.
Both kiddos finally ended up at school (Little J had another round of throwing up in the car today - I don't know what he might have eaten), but he went late.
Cross-contamination, maybe. None of his food should have had any wheat in it. *headdesk*
Most of the time, he manages to hit his target. He missed this time. Poor guy.
The boys had rotavirus when they were little - twice. That was not fun. Big J's room is the furthest from the bathroom, and if he doesn't make it in time, well, that's just too bad. Unfortunately, someone has to clean it up, and that someone is usually me. It is definitely my least favorite thing to do as a mom.
Good Afternoon. Finally able to check-in. I'm beat. We had severe storms last night with high winds and hail...and in addition...there is a man-hunt going on within a few miles of the house for a guy who decided to kill his Dad. The police feel that he is still in the area, armed and extremely dangerous. We have had the police helicopter going over all night since Sunday.
