My First Interview!

This is the rosary I donated to the fundraiser for our parish school, St. Pius X. They are having a casino night and silent auction tonight, and this is going into the auction. It's bronze wire wrapped with carnelian small beads and green goldstone for the large ones.

I was interviewed by MissKittyville.org this month! Here's a link to my interview:http://www.missevilkitty.org/rosariesandjewelrybylaura.html. It's my first as an independent business woman.

The rosary I donated to the Catholic Biblical School raised $160 at the silent auction. That will go toward giving others a chance at a scholarship that I was fortunate enough to get so I could complete the 4 year course. I graduate this May, provided I finish all the assignments! It doesn't seem like four years in one way, and in others it seems like it's been twice that long. My husband was alive when I started, and now he's gone. I didn't have a business when I started and now I do. Since then I've also learned Spanish and I'm also trying to learn how to write in html. So many changes, and so many things the same. I've learned to blog, I've been able to design jewelry for people for special events, I've got a roommate from Mexico and I'm learning a lot from her too. Like I said, it seems both longer and shorter than four years. I guess it will always seem that way.

I'm just finishing up a mother's necklace and earring set for someone's 50th birthday. It's being polished as I write this. I'll post the picture after it's all done. It was a lot of fun to make. It has the birthstones of both her and her husband, and all three of the kids. I'm anxious for her to see it in person.

The last couple of weeks have been very hectic with both me and most of the cats being sick. Hopefully we've got that done and over with!! The worst were Katrina with an abscess on the side of her face and Oscar with bronchitis. I also ended up with bronchitis, but we both sound a whole lot better now. Let's hope it stays that way!
