... I truly have an addictive personality.
The most recent manifestation of my addictiveness gone haywire is my near-obsession with the new Twilight series. I started reading the series last Sunday after seeing the movie with the boyfriend (who I had taunted mercilessly about getting so excited about such a silly movie) and finished all four books by late Wednesday night. I've now had the soundtrack on repeat for the last three hours. .... I may need some serious help soon.
BUT... on the brighter side of things, I was able to whip up 15 (yes, that's right, fifteen) new lovelies for the shop tomorrow. I went a bit nuts this past week, collecting some new stones from my favorite local beadshops and I am so very pleased to be making some new goodies for all of you. It's been awhile since I've had a chance to just create, so I'm pleased as pie at my progress.
It's a bit too dark out right now to get any good pictures to preview the lovelies for you all, but I will give you some details. I've recently been obsessed (yes, big surprise) with layered necklaces, so I've decided to make a heap of them available for all of you in the shop. Very simple in design, made of my very favorite gemstones (labradorite, amethyst, yellow quartz, rose quartz and delicious white topaz), they're simply perfect for throwing on with a strapless little number or a white T and your favorite pair of jeans. I must admit I've made a heap of them for my own collection as well.
Besides creating like a madwoman, I went to a local gem show today and got to fondle some of the loveliest cabochons (polished stones with a flat back used in jewelry with set stones) I'd seen in QUITE some time. I even adopted a few pieces... some lovely labradorite (of course), a simple stunning piece of Morgan Hill Poppy Jasper (I may not be able to give up this one, sorry gals!) and one of the most intricately beautiful pieces of boulder opal I've seen in person. Now if I could just get some time in the workshop....
Whew! I'm pooped. Off to bed so I can get those lovelies in the shop nice and early for you all!
Nighty night
