Yippeee!!! It's Friday Night.................

CAN'T WAIT to watch a movie and eat some pizza!  That's the tradition at our house for Friday evenings.

What movie will we watch....???????  I'm always in the mood for a Jane Austen flick, but sometimes hubby insists on a Lonesome Dove.....just so I stop and take a break!!!!  Have had a great week, but filled with it's share of stressful surprises!

Lots of lace and buttons................

I love this wonderful collage of vintage trim and buttons!!  Thought I would share it with you.  I have a collection of old buttons that I treasure.  Sometimes I take them out of their drawers and jars and just play with them, like a kid with a toy!  And my laces are all over the place, but I enjoy them so.  I ordered a few new pieces off of Ebay a couple of months ago....that was my Christmas gift to me.

P.S.  Haven't had the time to play with those yet!

Rhinestones in my peanut butter.......

Yep, that's right....IN THE PEANUT BUTTER JAR!!!!!

I guess this illustrates the joys....and hazards....of making jewelry in my kitchen!  I had all my jewelry findings spread out all over my kitchen last week as I was into one of my creative jewelry binges.....I remember trying to gulp down occasional bites of my raisin bagel and peanut butter as I was glueing and stringing rhinestones.  Well,

I decided it was time for another bagel this past weekend.  As I was chewing I suddenly chomped down on something hard and thought "wow, this is a large raisin pit....never had this happen before".  Well, let me tell you.....it was no raisin pit!!!!  It was a gynormous rhinestone!!!!  Thanks goodness I didn't break a tooth!  I've already had one root canal in the last month, and have a crown scheduled.....don't need any more dental emergencies!  All jewelry makers:  BEWARE!!! HAH!  I'm laughing now!
