I've told the boyfriend that after the big show I have in December he can
pick through the cheaper earrings for presents for his friends. He's doing
some photographic prints for my family so it works out well!

... Going to church and shouting out that "I am a
Christian" no more makes me a Christian than going
to a car lot and shouting "I am a Chrysler" would
make me a minivan. ... Mike - alt.callahans

I'm hoping to send off some of my waxes soon. That will be really exciting!

i'm creating my first tie clip for Johnny.
more firsts.

our new method of creating molds is working, so we're going to be
making molds and pouring wax all weekend -- to cast next week.

then maybe i'll FINALLY get to make some jewelry again!

Absolutely. My sis took a necklace home as her present and the bracelet I'd
made for Jen. I still have Rachel's here, she's getting something more
Egyptian for Christmas, and Jen's getting a big, bangly bracelet for
Christmas. All my friend have already put in their 'orders'. :-)

It's so nice to be able to give something they want that's handmade. I love
making gifts and now my girls are old enough to be past that 'designer'
phase they love having me make them things.

It was more the designer clothing and accessories that were a problem when
the girls were teens. Our house was on the edge of a fairly wealthy
neighborhood, we were just regular folk but her friends all had Liz
Claiborne and the like every day. It was a struggle to convince them that
it wasn't necessary to their well-being to be geared up constantly with the
newest whatever.

That being said, we don't give her jewelry for her birthday or other
occasions. It just doesn't seem as "special" as other things -
because she sees Mama making these things out of nothing. Besides,
she gets her pick of things to wear every day. The only stuff she
truly covets is lampwork, because making it seems like magic and
because I don't let her wear my little lampwork collection. (Well,
she was invited to wear my cheap Indian stuff before I gave it all
away, but somehow that didn't satisfy her)

My little magpies love glittery stuff and jewellery is just up their street,
fortunately. They're both thrilled with Mike's lampwork and want more.
Lucky me, I get to make them something they'll treasure and it's all part of
what Mike does too. Can't be bad.

True confessions: this year, her birthday isn't going to cost me
anything. I took part in two of those medical studies at the pain
clinic and they gave me $125 in Target gift cards. Since she needs
clothes anyway, and she really loves "Tar-zhay," that's what she's
getting.

My first husband (the parental unit for both girls) worked at Target when it
was still Ayr-Way in Kentucky. Jen also worked there for years. I miss it
very much. There's only the hideous Wal-Mart here which I've not been in yet
and won't go to unless there's something I desperately need. I could
probably get whatever shipped from the US at less cost to my karma.

That's so cool about the gift cards, I'm sure Manda will really enjoy it.
As the girls used to say 'cool beans!'

-Su

yup, to be cast. I can't cast them myself.

Yeah, but I can't afford the equipment, have no where to put it and wouldn't
have a clue what I need or how to do it!

It really can be a lot cheaper to pay high costs than to do something
yourself.
