I’m just not sure where all the time has flown this
month. It’s just plain craziness when
things aren’t getting posted. Maybe I
can catch you up to date – the short versions.
Daisy (cutest 5 month old retriever in the world) dashed
after a cat and knocked me down five steps.
Plop! Hit my head on the cement
and broke my ankle. Luckily there are
two bones in there and I only l took out one, and not the load bearing
one.
I’ve been working away on some pieces. I have to set the stones. Actually I have stones to set on many
since it seems like I’m at that point on several pieces.
In the middle of soldering a new piece I had about the most
freaky incident happen. My mini Smith
torch blew a hose. It cracked
immediately under the hand piece while I was trying to solder down a
bezel. So I got this backwash of flame
in my hand that shot out so fast it blew the torch out of my hand. Luckily nothing was hurt and I could grab the
torch and turn off the gas. My hand is
okay now – it wasn’t at first but Silvadine cream for burns and an ice pack overnight
got me back to normal. A new hose is
ordered and all is well.
Christmas has come and gone – ours was nice and hope yours was too. My daughter is pregnant with a baby boy and she
and her hubby are just beaming brightly.
So are the future Grandma and Grandpa.
Well…I’m guessing this will just about have to wrap it up
for this month and I will begin fresh in the new year with looks at the final
pieces and lots of new ideas, work, and tips.
I hope your holiday was beautiful and fulfilling and that your
2014 is an even better year yet!
With Love,
Sharon
