<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The Holidays are Coming!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">As you probably already know the holidays are coming;
Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa are right around the corner. I know I usually
put out a holiday line but really I couldn’t think of anything new. I still
have some stock from the previous two years so check out the <a href="http://thedanglingjourney.blogspot.co.uk/2017/04/showcase.html" target="_blank">Showcase</a> and
see what’s there. I am working on one design for this year but I am still
trying to perfect it.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">But I had an idea the other night. I love wrapping presents!
When I was growing up stores used to offer gift wrapping services, sometimes
for free. You rarely see that nowadays, but I had the thought that since I love
wrapping presents I can offer gift wrapping services for orders around the
holiday. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The wrapping service will include; a gift box, wrapping, bow
and ribbon and a gift tag. So you can place you order with me and relax knowing
that the details will be taken care of. Your order(s) will be sent to the recipient (or yourself) in time for the big day. Of course your order must be placed
within reasonable time to allow your present to be sent through the mail. December
15<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> for UK orders and December 1<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">st</span></sup> for the US (I have
not had good experiences with shipping things to the US during the holiday
season therefore I like to leave a month to be sure the items will be received –
I have had things take a month to get to their recipient). <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">As for pricing, £3.00 for UK and $5.50 for US shipping. I
wish I could offer free wrapping but I will need to cover the cost to ship the
items. The shipping cost will be more expensive since they will be wrapped in
gift boxes making the items heavier and bulkier. And as you know I don’t really
charge for shipping.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Here are samples of the paper, ribbon, bows and tags I have
available</span><br />

although earrings may be what I do best! Last week was Neil’s (my husband)
birthday. Every year since we’ve been together I try to make a big deal about
his birthday. I’m big on birthdays, I guess because I can’t have a big birthday
myself. I was born two weeks after Christmas and either everyone is broke and
conveniently forgets or there’s a snow storm. Neil is from a very small family
so not much was done for him either so I took it upon myself to make up for
that. I may not throw huge parties (Neil and I are both quite shy) but I try to
get great presents and make or get a cool cake.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Bradley Hand ITC"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">The first year I got a co-worker who makes cakes with her
daughter to make one for me. Neil was very pleased with that. The next year
Neil turned 57 and I got the idea to decorate the cake like a Heinz Ketchup
bottle. Unfortunately the colors came out all wrong so it was pink and not red.
Last year I was short of ideas but went into a baking shop and a nice lady
there had a brainstorming session with me and I decided to make a cake based on
the Brecon Beacons (a mountain that Neil used to go climb). Unfortunately my
sculpting skills are a bit lacking, and the temperature in the house meant that
the fondant did not dry out, so the cool tent that I made collapsed and I ended up using scraps of cake to make a tent that ended up looking not
so cool (I called it a turtle’s vagina – but actually I don’t know if they have
one). The only thing resembling reality was Neil’s boots. He even had to ask me
what it was supposed to be.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Bradley Hand ITC"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">I wasn’t having any of that this year. A few months ago I
decided to make a cake that represents Neil’s love of music and his lifestyle. Neil
dresses in a cross between a Mod and a Rude Boy. So I decided to make the
target Mod symbol on the top and the checkerboard Rude Boy symbol around the
edge of the cake. I figured this would be simple enough for my skillset and yet
meaningful for him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Bradley Hand ITC"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">I baked two huge round cakes, I knew that one batch would
not make two layers so I made two batches of cake. I even made a yummy lemon
buttercream to go between the cake layers. While the cakes were baking I worked
the colored fondants into their designated shapes. I cut out about 40 black
squares for the checkerboard. I thought I’d figured out how to weave the black
and white strips to form the checkerboard design but it didn’t work. So instead
I decided to “glue” black squares onto white strips. Once the cake was
assembled I started decorating. When it came time to cover the cake I
discovered that despite purchasing twice as much white fondant it was not
enough to cover the cake. So instead I covered the cake in the royal icing
(which I had decided earlier not to use), the icing acts as a glue for all of
the fondant shapes. I assembled the target on the top of the cake and then realized that there wasn't enough space to write on the cake. I had planned to write on the cake "HAPPY BIRTHDAY NEIL ONE COOL DUDE!" but the target once assembled was so big that it took up the entire top of the cake. So in the end I wrote on the target.</span></div>

black squares fell off of the strips they were “glued” to. So in the end I just
stuck the squares on the icing. <span style="font-family: "Bradley Hand ITC"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">But in order to stretch the icing and make it more workable
so I could cover the cake I thinned it with a bit of milk. Unfortunately
thinning the icing meant that it lost its stickiness so the black squares began
sliding down the side of the cake. So although I wanted to leave the cake a
surprise until Saturday (Neil’s birthday) I decided to show him the cake Friday
afternoon just in case the cake melted before his birthday.</span></span></span><br />

work with fondant again. And I don’t even like the taste of fondant which is
why I would not get it for our wedding. The baker really tried to sell me on it
and even said that if it was hot on the day the buttercream would spoil but I
didn’t care, I hate fondant!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

few hours one day picking out the template, I wanted a fiery Jack this year. I
also wanted a big one so we purchased a “giant” pumpkin. So I downloaded the

laptop and traced the eyes and mouth. I freehanded the top of the pumpkin, I
went for an open top Jack this year, and I have a surprise for Neil later

I made Jack. First I cut around the outline on the top. Only about a quarter of
the way around I noticed that the knife was starting to bend. Last year we
purchased a (tiny) Jack O’Lantern carving kit from the grocery store after
Halloween for about 5p. It has 2 knives, two punchers and a scooper. After I
carved the top out I scooped out the seeds. This year I left the flesh inside.
I usually cut it out and use the flesh to make soup or pancakes, but the flesh
is actually rather tasteless so I left it in the pumpkin.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Gabriola; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Gabriola; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">I know, I know; it’s been a long time. I usually let you know if I’m
taking some time off but this time I don't know what happened. At first I was too busy to make anything, then I think I was too tired to. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Gabriola; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">I think I mentioned before that I was taking driving lessons. They
started once a week back in May. My test was originally set for the end of July
but I had to reschedule because I wasn’t ready. I rescheduled it for September
13<sup>th</sup>, my grandfather’s birthday – I knew it would be a good omen. My
grandfather was the family driver. I spent the first 6 years of my life riding
in the car with him. He seemed to love to drive, and family members would ask
him to drive when they took trips; New York, DC, Baltimore. He even drove to
North Carolina twice to take me and pick me up from college my freshman year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Gabriola; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">The closer it got to September 13<sup>th</sup> the more frequent my
lessons became including three lessons the week before the test. Why? Because I
took a mock exam and failed miserably. I started having panic attacks, took
another mock exam and passed. So I had a week of trying not to stress myself to
the point of another panic attack. Chamomile tea, valerian root and lots of
comedy. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Gabriola; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Test day came and I was stressed but it was manageable. The examiner
had me drive around lots of tiny streets where I drove slowly and had to pull
over a lot. We returned to the test center and he told me I passed. What a
relief! My instructor told me I could breathe again. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Gabriola; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Besides the driving I can’t remember what I’ve been doing; life seems
a bit of a blur right now. I visit my neighbor two doors down twice a week.
We’ve been going to appointments, plus the usual grocery shopping. And I’ve
been to London a few times to meet a friend. I’ve also been trying to get
caught up on cleaning. I was given a large flat screen TV (which has since
broken) and I rearranged our bedroom to accommodate it. I got some under bed
storage totes and organized my seasonal clothes. I’m trying to crack down in
the creepy crawlies that come with living out in the country; vacuuming, making
peppermint sprays and spraying around the house to deter the outdoors from

<span style="font-family: Gabriola; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">A while ago though I was visiting my neighbor, she gets lots of
catalogs delivered and told me to look through one and I saw something amazing.
A book to store earrings in. I have been looking for a way to store the
finished earrings that I have in stock. I saw the book and thought it was a
brilliant idea. But why pay £30 for a tiny book that only hold a few pair? I
looked at the book and said I can make a large one!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Gabriola; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">We went to Tescos for our weekly shop, just before school started
binders were on sale for 70p. Okay, the binders were hot pink, but what the
heck. Then I ordered some fabric online for £6.00. Thread, hemming ribbon and
double sided tape I already had. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Gabriola; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">I had a few ideas for how I would make this work. When you buy
factory made books they used specific fabric, like the kind you find at jewelry
stores. Unfortunately felt, microfiber and suede, i.e. all the fabric similar
to that is expensive. After one try I got it to work, but it doesn’t look like
exactly how I want it to look. I had more fabric so I tried it a different way. I made two different panels one longer and one wider. They still haven't come out the way I planned, so I may try a totally different approach now. I have
some more ideas I can try out; different materials and fabrics. I may need to get a wider binder but this isn’t
a bad start.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I've never really done this with any success. Sunday my friend's family threw a party for her birthday. It was family function but they invited Neil and I as well. I planned to wear one of my favorite dresses (I've had it for 7 years now), normally when I wear this dress I wear the pair of earrings featured in <a href="http://thedanglingjourney.blogspot.co.uk/2017/06/layers.html" target="_blank">Layers</a> that I've had for [about 10] years and rewired because they had become tarnished. But Sunday I decided to make a pair of earrings to wear to the party ... just an hour or so away. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I opened my box of beads and realized I had several shades of blue, most of which are in my dress. So for about a 30 minutes I played around with settings and chain and findings to get it just right. And with just a few minutes to spare I ended up with these. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I like that the beads are different shapes and sizes, and the lengths are different as well. You may notice I do that a lot in my designs. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Once we arrived at the party Shirley, my friend and neighbor told all of her granddaughters that I make earrings, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">"Really?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">"Yes, in fact I just made these!"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I tried this once before, I made a pink and white pair that I never bothered to put up because I really didn't think they were any good. I wore pink and black from head to toe one day and wanted some pink earrings but didn't have any black beads at the time. I wore them on the day and just shoved them aside, I think they're still in tact but I don't even think about wearing them again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPjuhz_aG6Cd_-YyTvy56P7je8ZLKVMK8xBjg9-EczNLq8PSJhasZPIruZyGsj8fi2osN0JzEu8X_owiYEjUHgjf3F4efrW2wGRkfbPRtwFR5P7XOeWsSLn83J7gr7aPJS7yA7eO29tf8/s1600/20170829_102512.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1228" data-original-width="1600" height="245" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPjuhz_aG6Cd_-YyTvy56P7je8ZLKVMK8xBjg9-EczNLq8PSJhasZPIruZyGsj8fi2osN0JzEu8X_owiYEjUHgjf3F4efrW2wGRkfbPRtwFR5P7XOeWsSLn83J7gr7aPJS7yA7eO29tf8/s320/20170829_102512.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">But these are a different story. Grant it you'd have to have a dress like mine to make it work. Or maybe you just like the colors, or have an outfit with the same blue, grey and black combination. Whatever the situation is, if you'd like a pair of these just give me a shout.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Adobe Caslon Pro","serif";">Last I
week I shared pictures of a pair I was working on; orange and yellow hoops with
an oval bead in the center. Unfortunately, when I perfected the first one and
went to make the second I didn’t have enough beads. Beads like those are irregular
(actually I find all beads are irregular), so I made the first one but when I
tried to make the second the beads that were left would not fit on the wire.
Maybe I’ll try again with smaller gauge wire later.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Adobe Caslon Pro","serif";">After I
made that one I moved on to this pair. It seems a bit retro to me. I don’t know
why but whenever I see brown and wooden beads it reminds me of the 70’s. There
are 44 brown beads around the hoop, with a round wooden bead dangling from the
center. The earring is attached to fish hooks, I don’t think it would look
right on a kidney wire. The earrings have a diameter of an inch and will an
inch and a half from the ear.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "gabriola"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%;">I had no idea what I was going to do! Monday came around and I was
lost as to what I would do for this week. So far this year I have been more
productive than in previous years but that is resulting in periodic designer’s
block. Monday night while lying in bed trying to get back to sleep I thought
about hoops.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

no reason why hoops can’t be dangles. The main problem is making them so I
started experimenting yesterday. It needs more work so here’s a peak at what’s
going on. Hopefully by next week I will have it perfected and maybe more than
one pair to show for it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

sea glass this color would have come from a beer bottle. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

are wrapped in non-tarnish wire and fitted with silver-plated fish hooks. The
beads are also triangular which was a bit difficult to wrap. They hang just
under an inch and a half from the ear and since they are larger will probably
be a bit heavier than the other earrings in the collection.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

would have been when it first went into the water.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Graphite Std Wide"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">When Neil collects his sea glass there are sometimes
pieces of glass that you cannot tell what they were before. And in addition to
the glass he’s found pieces from pottery and crockery. He did some research and
discovered from the manufacturer’s mark that one piece is from a plate dating
back to the 70’s. Again you can check out his collection of sea glass on his
<a href="http://helpmesortoutstpeters.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/how-do-you-like-shanklin.html" target="_blank">blog</a>. I tried very hard not to make any blue earring for this collection but I

<span style="font-family: "Graphite Std Wide"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">I wore this pair to church last week and I received so
many compliments on them. They probably are my favorite of all the designs in
this collection but honestly I don’t know what this would be if it were sea
glass. It’s too blue to be a Coca-Cola bottle and too light to be a poison
bottle. I suppose it would just be a random piece of glass that could have come
from housewares that were discarded and made it into a drain leading to the
ocean, traveled the currents and landed on a shore somewhere.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , "serif";">I had
an idea sitting at breakfast Saturday morning. My husband has collected sea
glass from the beach for years possibly decades. He has quite a nice little
collection of pieces of glass in various colors; you can check out one of his posts on the <a href="http://helpmesortoutstpeters.blogspot.co.uk/2016/09/the-museum-of-nothing-in-particular.html" target="_blank">collection</a> on his blog. He can date some of the glass
pieces by their color. You can tell what some things are from the color. Green
is wine, brown is beer, clear could be an old medicine bottle or a modern day
liquor bottle, light blue glass could be old Coca-Cola bottles dating back to
the 1920’s and dark blue was used for poison so if you find dark blue glass it
could date back to the 1950’s.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

asked him if he has any sea glass that he could spare. He thought about it and

cooked and we just sat around talking all evening.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The next year Neil and I actually had a BBQ;
shish kebabs, potato salad, deviled eggs, grilled corn on the cob, sangria and
watermelon for dessert. That year was the best! Last year was right after the
wedding and my mom was still here so we just had burgers and maybe potato
salad. But this year I wanted a BBQ again, only extenuating circumstances
prevented us from getting the grill out so I made everything in the kitchen. I
made potato and pasta salad the day before along with some minty simple syrup
for the mojitos. So yesterday all I had to do was make the deviled eggs and
cook the hot dogs and burgers (all veggie). It was great! During the day
(between meals) Neil watched the Tour de France and I watched American movies
and TV shows on Netflix.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "sanvito pro"; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 107%;">Years ago I bought a cheap pair of earrings from a plus sized
clothing store which I used to buy all of my clothes from (hint: it’s what real
women wear). I wore them all the time especially when I was wearing royal blue
which a lot of my summer wardrobe is. Over the years the long kidney wires
turned and they didn’t look so good, but the beads were fine so when I started
making earrings I put new hook on them. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "sanvito pro"; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 107%;">I love these earrings and I have been trying to make some
similar, which is why I bought the bead heads last month. But I made this pair
while I was waiting for the bead heads to arrive. Once they arrived I realized
none of the heads were small enough for the top of this bead since it’s very
small on top.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "sanvito pro"; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 107%;">I love the natural tones of this bead. It looks like there are
layers in the beads like the sedimentary layers you may find in exposed rock on
mountains or cliff faces. But the beads are not made of stone, they are glass.
All of the findings are silver plated and they can be fitted with fish hook,
kidney wires (shown) or clip-ons. They earrings hang just over and inch from
the ear. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Gabriola; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 107%;">We are in the middle of a heat wave here in the UK, hopefully today
is the last day of it. Today is the longest day of the year which to some is a
sacred day – the Summer Solstice. It is a special day for Neil and I too, the
first two years we were together we did fabulous things on this day. In 2014 we
went to Box Hill for the evening, I took drinks and dessert and we sat on a
bench on the hill eating our picnic and watching the night fall. We were even
treated to fireworks going off in the distance. That night for both of us was
the night we knew we were in love. The following year we went to Stonehenge,
actually we went the night of the 20<sup>th</sup> to bring in the day of the 21<sup>st</sup>.
After taking a short nap in the parking lot at Stonehenge, we spent the rest of
the day going around to other sacred Druid sites like Avebury and Silbury Hill.
Unfortunately last year we were too busy preparing for our wedding to do
anything like that. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Gabriola; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 107%;">I have a few designs waiting to meet the public. If you follow me on
Instagram you’ve seen the preview of Crystal. I thought I’d bring out the
elegant one first and now that I think about it Crystal was probably a fitting
design to release this week. After all, people are leaving Stonehenge this
morning and heading to Glastonbury for the festival. And Glastonbury is known
for its mysticism, if you ever go there are crystal shops throughout town. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Gabriola; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 107%;">These crystals are mystic though, they’re Swarovski. They are round,
almost teardrop shaped and not flat the crystals in my wedding pair from last
year. Also these crystals are iridescent and not truly clear. The crystals
themselves are a third of an inch but they hang from a length of silver-plated
chain, making the total length 1 and a quarter inches. The finding are all
silver-plated as well and the earrings can me fitted with either fish hooks (shown),
kidney wire or clip-ons.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Gabriola; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 107%;">I think what I love most about this pair is that they are simple
enough to wear during the day and yet elegant enough to wear with something
fancy. And once again the big perk of buying earrings from me is that if you
would like the chain longer or shorter I can adjust it to your liking. I have
several crystals left so I can probably make three pairs. Let me know if you’d
like one.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "graphite std wide"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Back to the designs I had lined up before my bead heads
arrived last week. I made these a few weeks ago when I first received the large
pack of glass beads. The pack has so many different color beads I figured I could find something to go with the Jasper. I’ve had these Jasper beads for a while and since they are
so earthy I couldn’t think of anything to do with them. I did sneak in a pair
when I had the stall at the fair in March, but I couldn’t come up with an idea
for another design. You may remember I started the year off with birthstones. I
made several pairs of garnet earrings, I even made a pair that has both mine
and my husband’s birthstones. I bought these jasper beads to continue the
birthstone theme. Jasper is a birthstone for March or October. There are many
different types of Jasper, this one is called Leopardskin Jasper because of the
pattern in the stone. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "graphite std wide"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">This pair has one burgundy glass bead about 8 or 9 mm I’d
say, with a 4 mm Jasper bead on each end of it. The burgundy of the glass bead
picks up the streaks of burgundy running through the Jasper. The earrings hang
approximately 1 1/8 inches from the ear. The findings are all silver plated and
can be fitted with kidney wire (shown), fish hook or clip-ons.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

These are bead caps, I got them in a pack of about two hundred in various

possibly again on EastEnders. I think Michelle Fowler was wearing them but I
could be wrong. This pair consists of a single 6mm pearl with the new bead
caps, hanging from a length of chain. Since you can buy these straight from me
you have your length of chain as short or as long as you like. The ones
featured here hang about two inches from the ear. The chain and all the
findings are silver plated. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "sanvito pro"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">I know what you’re thinking; isn’t this the same pair from last
week? Well, not quite. The beads for this pair also came from the pack of glass
beads I just purchased. The pack contains several colors of beads and each
color has several shapes. The only problem with assorted bead sets is that
there’s no consistency. There are several beads each color and shape but not necessarily
in the quantities to make a pair (or two) of earrings. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

bored, not to worry. I have a few things coming up that are quite different
including one which is a bit earthy and another that's slightly elegant. So keep your
eyes open for the next few posts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "myriad pro light semicond" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">I’m sorry about
not posting anything last week, I was a little under the weather. I should start by saying that I have
terrible allergies. I went to an allergist in 2002 and he told me I had the
worst allergies of any patient he’d ever seen and this doctor was pretty old.
After taking expensive prescription antihistamines for years I settled for over the
counter meds. I took Cetirizine or Zyrtec for the past year or two but this year it stopped
working (as antihistamines do from time to time) so now I’m taking
Chlorphenamine which is in the same class of antihistamines as Benadryl or
Diphenhydramine, they are very effective but they make you very sleepy (and now are being linked to Alzheimer's disease). I also take Flonase every day. Neil tells me I shouldn't take so
much medicine and I have told him many times that if I don’t take these meds I
get sick. Well now he has seen firsthand what happens when I don’t take my
medicine. Two weeks ago I forgot to take them (both the antihistamine and nasal spray) for about four days total. The first time I got sick I was in college, I left the doctor with
an antibiotic, steroids, nasal spray, decongestant, inhaler and cough syrup.
And at least once a year for the last four years I was in the US I had the same thing happen, I would go to the doctor and they'd give me an antibiotic, steroids (methylprednisolone) and a cough medicine in pill form.
Last week (and even now) I was feeling pretty rotten but I couldn’t really
rest, Neil is ill so someone has to take care of things. Last Wednesday I
definitely had a fever and woke up twice in the night drenched.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> I can only stand to do one strenuous activity a day (whether it's yard work, cooking or cleaning) then I'm useless for the rest of the day. </span>I am now at the tail end of this allergy induced
bronchitis. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "myriad pro light semicond" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Last Tuesday I had my first driving
lesson. Two weeks ago I passed the theory test for my UK driving license. I have
a license in Pennsylvania but that isn’t doing me any good here (especially
since I need to get it renewed). But I had never driven a stick shift or driven
on the wrong side of the street (and car). I didn’t think I was going to do
well. To be honest, I was okay driving but starting and stopping are
tricky especially starting. I have another lesson tomorrow then hopefully Neil
will put me on his insurance and I can drive between lessons.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "myriad pro light semicond" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Lastly, the flowers. Fortunately
while I wasn’t feeling well it rained for almost a week straight (or at least it felt
like it). So I got to take a break from watering the flowers. But on Saturday I still went out to feed them (which I’m supposed
to do every two weeks). My two favorite roses seem to be at the end of their bloom, but three more are just getting started.</span></div>

pictures they have aphids which I have tried spraying with homemade natural
pesticides and store bought chemicals (which Neil doesn’t like). The homemade
one didn’t work at all, the store bought one did seem to work but I can only
use it twice a year, and I’m afraid to use it now that I that have seen birds
perched on the bushes. I hate bugs but I like birds.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

hadn’t made anything last week. But then I purchased some glass beads. Honestly
I knew exactly what I wanted to make I just didn’t have the supplies I needed
to make them. So I went online and made a couple of small purchases. One turned
out to be a bust, the beads didn’t look anything like the picture but I can’t
really complain for the price I paid and they were buy one get one free (You
get what you pay for is the lesson I am learning this year). I’m still waiting
on the essential piece I need for my idea so I can’t make it yet. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

swirl pattern in them. Each bead is separated by a small pearl bead. The findings are silver plated and they will hang
approximately an inch and a half from the ear. </span></div>

anything since the showcase. I had a creative spurt last month and made several

<span style="font-family: "gabriola";"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">I have been busy though.
We have a huge front yard at our house and I recently became interested in
caring for it. I’m a city girl, I don’t do dirt or bugs but we have 12 rose
bushes in the front yard and I am trying to nurture them. Some have aphids,
most of them have a fungal infection which turns their leaves brown but when
they bloom they are lovely. There are several different types of roses and in
many colors; orange, red, several shades of pink and one call a “peace” rose
which changes color as it blossoms. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "gabriola";"><span style="font-size: x-large;">I started a few months
ago, in the winter I cut back all the brown dead looking parts; Neil said they
should be pruned by 30% every year but he hasn’t done it in years. This year I
did it. Now that they looked like they wanted to flower I’ve gone out every day
and watered them. We don’t have a hose or a spout outside so I carry a gallon
jug back and forth to water the bushes. I figure it is good exercise and
besides it will make them pretty. Neil doesn’t want me doing all this work but
I don’t really have anything else to do. </span></span></div>

been trying to be a good wife, learning about natural cleaning products (I've become obsessed with vinegar) and
trying to keep the house clean and make yummy food like pizza (which I think I
finally cracked) and trying new recipes that we can both enjoy. This week I
made North African Cous Cous, Neil even liked it and he’s a picky eater. Last
week I made chocolate pudding and Sunday I made butterscotch pudding, Neil didn’t
like the chocolate and refused to try the butterscotch. More for me!<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

This Sunday is Mother’s Day in America and my Godmother’s birthday is a few days later, and since I now have
clip on earrings I decided to send her a pair. I had in my mind the pair I was
going to send her but when I went to get them apparently they didn’t exist. I
have the long pair (Birthday Earrings) and the pair on the chain but I thought
they may be too long so I made this pair especially for her.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I recently went out with some friends and one of them said she loved my earrings but she wanted something like a slideshow where she could see everything I had to offer in one place instead of having to go through the history on the blog. So I decided to try it. It has been almost two years since I started the journey so why not? There are plenty of items still available and having this showcase means you can see what all is still available in one post. I'll put up the link to each item's post. So, thank you Georgie! Here's the showcase</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "gabriola"; font-size: x-large;">Many years ago now
(probably about 10) I went to a mall in Atlantic City (NJ) and saw a jewelry
store. The jewelry was a bit abstract for me but it was still very nice and it
was very expensive. I always kept it in mind for present ideas for my uncles
who have very expensive taste. I thought I could save up the money to get
cufflinks or something. I had never heard of this designer before then but when
I brought home the booklet and my mother said it was a well-known jewelry
designer. It was call Baccarat.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "gabriola"; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Now fast forward to
Spring/Summer 2015, Neil and I went for an outing to Cobham when he was
recovering from his horrible back episode. We went and had lunch in a park in Cobham
and then walked down the High Street browsing the charity shops. Chelsea had
just won one of the many cup finals that year and I guess a lot of the players
live in the area so Chelsea flags were everywhere (I hate Chelsea!). In one of
the charity shops I saw this Baccarat necklace and snatched up especially since
I know this could retail for about $200 and it was only £3.00. But I really do
like it and I don’t have much if any black jewelry.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "gabriola"; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Now fast forward to
three weeks ago. I was having another night insomnia and while lying in bed I
thought I’ll make myself a<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>pair of
earring to go with my Baccarat necklace because I don’t wear it as often as I
should. I have a nice pair of black chandelier earrings but they are a
different style. I decided to try to make a pair that would have the same sort
of swirl effect like the Baccarat necklace has. And since I still had some Onyx
beads left I decided to give it a try. So a few days later while playing some
old political panel shows I started messing around to see if I could make this
idea come to life. You may have seen the posts I put on FB and Twitter after
they were done. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

of attention, even before I wrote this post someone purchased a pair.
Each earring consists of seven 6mm Onyx beads, threaded with silver plated findings and hooked onto silver plated chain. They hang about an inch and three quarters from the neck. So let me know what you think. I can make more if anyone is interested but I’ll have to order more beads.</span></span></div>

teardrop crystal. Each strand of chain is also a different length. The earrings hang about 2 inches from the ear. The chain is

<span style="font-family: "gabriola"; font-size: x-large;">*Yoruba Tasting Ceremony:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "gabriola"; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">From the age-old traditions of Africa, in which the wisdom
of the ages is transmitted by story and ritual more than written word, we
receive the Yoruba ceremony, a time for the tasting of four elements - the
sour, the bitter, the hot, and the sweet - four tastes symbolic of the elements
of marriage. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "gabriola"; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Taste now the sour, for surely every life of integrity
admits to its share of times which <br />
are less than perfect. As (Couple's Name) experience life’s disappointments as
well as <br />
successes, will we offer our love and support, without measure and without
limit? <br />
If so, let us all taste and say “we will.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "gabriola"; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Taste now the bitter, for surely every life of depth will
know it moments of denial and <br />
rejection when we feel turned away by life. As (Couple's Name) encounter times
when bitterness might take hold of their hearts, will we offer our guidance and
wisdom, without measure and without limit? If so, let us all say “we will.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "gabriola"; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Taste now the hot, for surely there is spice and passion in
every enduring relationship. <br />
As (Couple's Name) find and express their hearts’ deepest longings, will we
offer them our respect and encouragement without measure and without limit? <br />
If so, let us all taste and say “we will.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "gabriola"; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">And finally, taste now the sweet, for the abundance of life
which has brought these two lovers here to be joined in marriage will continue
to pour itself out for their enjoyment. As (Couple's Name) know the sweetness
of married life in all of its ages and stages, will we offer our
congratulations and benedictions without measure and without limit? If so, let
us all taste and say “we will.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "bickham script pro regular"; font-size: 28pt;">Here is the first wedding design of

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "bickham script pro regular"; font-size: 28pt;">These earrings are very similar to <a href="http://thedanglingjourney.blogspot.co.uk/2017/03/aqua-marine-these-are-not-aqua-marine.html" target="_blank">AquaMarine</a> from last month only instead of blue glass beads this pair is
made of clear and pearl beads. I made the blue glass pair to practice the
settings for these. This pair features 8mm pearl and 4mm pearl bead, 8mm and
4mm faceted acrylic iridescent beads. All of the findings are silver plated and
can be fitted with either fish hook, kidney wires or clip on (for additional
costs). They will hang about an inch and a half from the ear.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "gabriola"; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-size: large;">I made these earrings at the end of last
year and thought about releasing them for New Year’s Eve. In the end time got
away from me and I only released them on my local FB buy & sell page,
because that was the only way I knew if someone ordered them I could get them to
the customer in time.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

different name <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Tuxedo</i> but that’s
because to me these earrings look like something you would wear on a formal
evening out (like New Year’s Eve or a wedding). If you were wearing a black
dress accentuated with crystals or sequins or even a tuxedo, these would be a
lovely feminine but not too gaudy way of accessorizing a ladies tux. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

won’t be any as extravagant as those but if there are any brides out there
looking for something new to wear on their big day just pop back to the </span><a href="http://thedanglingjourney.blogspot.co.uk/2016/04/wedding-blues.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">Wedding line</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> from last year and I can make any of those for your big day. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "sanvito pro"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">I had hoped that the fair on Saturday would be a great debut for
this pair that I made for myself. I made them a few weeks ago and I’ve been wearing
them out but I hadn’t posted them yet. Initially I didn’t even know if I would
post these because I really made them for myself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "sanvito pro"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">For Christmas I made a small wish list; three items. Leather
Gloves, a DNA test (so I can find out my family history and if I have any
genetic disorders) and couple’s jewelry (necklace or ring). When I gave my list
to Neil he said he couldn’t buy me any of them; he couldn’t get to a department
store (he was sick around Christmas), he had to order the jewelry well in
advance to get it by Christmas and he WOULD NOT get me the DNA test; he doesn’t
want to know if I’m genetically predisposed to any diseases. So I had to make
another wish list. I don’t remember what the other things were on it but one was a tablet
and that’s what I got. For my birthday Neil was feeling a little better so we
went to a store and we found some leather gloves. But still no couple’s
jewelry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "sanvito pro"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Then one night it hit me; I may not be able to make a necklace
(although I can try), but I can make myself a pair of earrings. And since I had
some garnets anyway I’d just have to get Neil’s birthstone. So I sent away for
some topaz (yellow) beads. I didn’t get exactly what I wanted; unfortunately
they didn’t have smooth beads like my garnets. But fortunately I I realized I
had some larger faceted beads that must be knock off topaz.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "sanvito pro"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">So one Sunday (I wrote about that day <a href="http://thedanglingjourney.blogspot.co.uk/2017/02/fiona.html" target="_blank">here</a>) I made my earrings.
Boy was it tough! The small faceted garnet beads are so small the holes will
not accommodate my headpins. So I had to thread them with a smaller gauge wire
which unfortunately is silver and not gold like the rest of the findings. But
that was the only way I would get these threaded.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "sanvito pro"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">The earrings feature 6mm smooth garnet beads, 4mm faceted garnet
beads, 6mm faceted topaz beads (plastic) and 4mm faceted glass topaz beads.
Most of the findings are gold-plated, but as mentioned above the 4mm garnets
are threaded by silver-plated wire. All the beads hang from an eyepin and look
like a bunch of grapes hanging from my ears. The earrings hang about an inch and a third from the ear.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "sanvito pro"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">I must admit when I looked at couple’s jewelry at Christmas I
realized that our birthstones look very nice together. How can you go wrong
with red and gold? While these are mine and Neil’s birthstones I will make the
same (or similar) earrings for anyone who like them. You can let me know your
preferred stones and I’ll let you know how much they’ll cost. My supplier is
pretty reasonable and delivers next day if the order is placed by midday. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "sanvito pro"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Finally, after a lot of thought I’ve decided to stop using
gold-plated findings. While I prefer gold to silver in jewelry I do not think
that gold plated findings age well. I find that after a year the findings
start to turn. Earrings made of silver plated findings do not turn or at least
not as fast as I’ve noticed the gold turning. I want the best for my customers!
I don’t want anyone buying one of my items then stops wearing them after a year
because they’ve turned. I know the earrings are reasonably priced (I do that on
purpose) but I want you to love for as long as possible.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
