Snake vs. Pedicure

Yesterday I took the afternoon off and went swimming with my friends, Sarah and Melissa. We went to a beautiful swim hole outside of Austin. It was so relaxing to float around the spring fed pool and check out the waterfall! Melissa and Sarah were brave enough to go under the waterfall and check out the little cave. I stayed back because I am a little freaked out by nature sometimes! A funny thing happened when I was walking up to the restroom. I thought I heard a rattlesnake in the bushes. I freaked out and tried to run but ended up falling down. My flip flop went flying. I got a skinned knee, sprained my wrist and wrecked my fresh pedicure. When I told the girls about it Sarah said "snake vs. pedicure."

Lest you think I have been idle, I have been working like crazy in my studio. I've done more metal work, I am getting better with the soldering. I also did a new batch of rings and resin pendants. I didn't even get a chance to photograph the resin batch before I whisked it off to my Parts and Labour shelf. I am definitely going to do more very soon. I was super proud of this batch. Other than creative stuff I spent my week doing other piddley business stuff around the office that must be done in order to keep this ship moving in the right direction.

Last weekend, Jason (my brother) and Courtney came for a visit along with their little one, Maddie. It was nice. My niece is just the sweetest, most calm baby you've ever met. I have so much love for her!
