I feel very smugly proud of myself today. Remember that goldstone heart that I wanted to turn into a necklace but couldn't due to the fact it had no hole for stringing? The I decided to wrap it in wire but couldn't because I had no idea how to do it? And how I tried five hundred different things and still nothing worked? Well, at the festival I got brochure on wire wrapping lessons complete with pictures and after studying the picture carefully I tried to copy it and GUESS WHAT????? I did it! I now have a perfectly AWESOME wire wrapped heart pendant.
And there it is, half finished. I'm going to add a few more elements to this, and I'll make matching earrings and a bracelet. The whole set will be finished by this evening. I hope.
We got the curtains hung in mom's place and they look quite nice. So that's all done. Next will be wallpapering the stairs. They have a couple showings next week starting on Saturday. They get their new place on the 15th of December and they have a bridge mortgage in place so they don't have to move so close to Christmas, instead they can do a few needed repairs on the new place. Like ripping out candy floss pink carpeting.
Dave got in touch with the good people of samsung bestbuy samsung bestbuy and then once again samsung. Samsung will be sending a repair person to our house to fix the television within the next few days. It's under warranty and it shouldn't cost us a penny. I miss the big television.
The roofer is painting all the metal work for our roof and the shingles are there. The paint has to dry and cure. Things are progressing.
Dan and heather are coming over on Sunday for a very belated Thanksgiving dinner. I'm going to prepare a duck, veggie risotto, spaghetti squash, and roasted potatoes, garlic and sweet onions. Yummy! Then follow that with a gluten free desert of chocolate sponge pudding. That's the where you make the cake on the bottom, sprinkle sugar and cocoa over it, pour hot water over everything and after baking you get a cake on top and gooey chocolate sauce underneath. Yummy times two.
So everything is going swimmingly. I'm really thrilled with my newly wrapped heart pendant. That's the best thing all week, considering that it's been giving no end of trouble.
Later!
