Day Twenty-Four, It Never Rains But it Pour(s)

So much has been going on with me lately, not the least of which has been my health. Endometriosis is always a yo-yo... sometimes it's up, sometimes it's down. I've spent over a week now with elevated pain levels, and there's nothing to be done about it. I'm still making my earrings every day, and I'm still putting together posts every day, but it's hard for them to actually get put *up* every day.

Thankfully, I have an amazing family and supportive friends, who understand what is going on and have been giving me some LOVELY recommendations for things to watch while I'm bed-ridden! I just finished watching every single episode of "Bones" available on Netflix, and am working my way through the first season of Downton Abbey. Next up, I'm going to finish "United States of Tara"~ is there anything else out there that you think I absolutely have to see?

Anyway, onto the earrings.

A friend suggested that I name them after her-- "Yosie's Choice"-- because they're her kind of style~!

Sterling Silver spacers surround and separate two delicate pink beads-- one perfectly round freshwater pearl, and one cool and smooth rose quartz.

Still experimenting with different photo surfaces...

I don't know what I'd do without this teacup!

I have some exciting news to post, both on here and the business blog. Stay tuned!

Day Eighteen, And I'm Keen...

...Keen to get done with the damn "teens" already~ it's not easy to come up with a unique rhyme for every single day of the month, especially when seven of them have the same last syllable!

Anyway, so much to do, so little time...

Still going strong with this challenge, though I feel like Hermione's Time Turner would help me out quite a bit, the way things have been going! Here are today's pair of earrings:

These are one of my more "dainty" designs...

You can't see the detail as much as I'd like-- it's super-hard to capture the color of the garnet, without it appearing black!-- and when you get a better "shot" of the color, the design (aka the shape of the bead) seems to vanish. Oh well-- here's a look at those details~

Ugh... I never like photos of my hands!!!

This pair is made out of rose quartz and heart-shaped garnet, designed to match a pendant that Hubby is designing. Perfect for the love of your life!

Tomorrow I'm going to a local crafts fair to see if it is a place where my jewelry will "fit in". Fingers crossed~!

Day Sixteen, There's a Special Sheen

Ugh... I finally get the camera fixed, and Hubby is hogging it tonight~!

Oh well. At least he's taking photos of our jewelry, so I'll have photos to add before the night is over.

Today's pair of earrings are quite lovely, in shades of purple! This pair features pink amethyst, oval-shaped and faceted, flanked by two small beads of white quartz and two smooth round amethysts, in two different sizes.

Photo will be attached as soon as Hubby takes peek-tures.

Tomorrow is market day... so excited! I'll let you all know how things go. See you tomorrow, amigos!
