Today has been pretty productive so far, I got my mowing done and started laundry, but I think the rest of the day I will take easy. We are due at Shaun's brothers at 5 when Shaun gets off work. Should be fun, the kids will get to fish and there are always great laughs to be had when we all get together.
On and exciting note, I received the rest of my supplies for the bracelets I am going to make. I am a little nervous though because I have never made jewelry before. This will be an interesting learning experience for me, it also has the potential to be a disaster. I have a tendency to obsess over things, and I have caught myself doing it already, being a perfectionist does have it's down falls.
The first bracelets I am making are gifts for my mother as well as Shaun's, so I will not allow myself to fail at this, and it will have to be "perfect" for me to be happy with it. This trait kinda annoys some people but you know what they say, "if you're going to do it, then you better do it right" (or pretend really well).
If anyone has made soldered jewelry I am open for any tips you may have. This is a first for me, and even though I know how to solder, soldering pipes and soldering something that is supposed to look wonderful are two entirely different things. So any tips or suggestions are completely welcome.
I am signing off for a bit to at least attempt to get farther with this project, and be ready for some pictures as soon as I am finished. I am TOTALLY excited about this!!!!
