the perks of part time teaching

okay, so besides the lower salary (which is definitely a bummer) teaching part time- mind you, still servicing an entire school, 370 some students, just in half the time...it gives me time to do my work for grad school, and FINALLY get back to working on new jewelry designs!

so to kick off my productivity...I spent the day with my partner-in-crime Jen of Yummy & Company...got my first hot coffee of the season- salted caramel mocha, yum!- did a little thrift store shopping, and took tons of new product photos...


and made a yummy lunch, and laughed.  A LOT.  :D

and we saw this pretty flower!  it was the perfect day in between days of teaching.

oh how I miss knitting

This picture just says it all...I had to take a hiatus from knitting since school and the jewelry business took priority...but how funny!? Someday I'll be reunited with my needles and yarn :)

What I'm Working on...Wednesday :)

my newest endeavor in jewelry making...Resin! I'm dying to break open my new Easy Cast epoxy resin and start figuring it out...if only I had the time :P but for now...the resin and the molds are sitting in wait until I can plan a day to play










also, these fun pendants are waiting to be made into necklaces for the upcoming Great Grapes Wine Festival (in Hunt Valley, June 13-14th) I snagged them at the Gem Show last weekend!
