Time and Tia

Boy how time flies when your having fun, (or at least very busy!)!. Just when I thought things were going to slow down, the pace picked up. Not that I mind all that much, but I just need to get on some kind of schedule so I can get everything done that needs to be done. However, by the time I do that, fall will be here and I'll have to revamp the whole thing again.

My roommate is going to Calif next week with one of her daughters to visit her other daughter. It's been over 10 years and 4 kids since they've all been together. The grandkids haven't met each other, and grandma (my roommate) hasn't met some of them either. I'm so happy for her. She asked me to make a special necklace for her favorite aunt who lives in Calif also, so this is what I made. She wanted something "long and red with a heart".

I'm also working on some new designs. I had a special order for some rosaries that are almost all done, and then I can start working on making some more jewelry. I'm looking forward to having some time to just "play", although I really like making rosaries also, so it's all play of some kind or another.

I hope everyone is having a great summer, and a very safe 4th of July! Right now my cats are in hiding from the fireworks. They never get used to the sound. If any of you have family that is fighting in the war in Iraq or Afghanistan, I hope they get home to you safe and sound very soon!
