Website Grader

The rock tumbler is still in limbo.  Right now I'm trying backing soda and tiny plastic beads, with small pieces of sandpaper glued together.  Last cycle I tried toothpaste because I figured it was mostly baking soda and would foam more.  We'll see!


On another note, my sister ran across a link for a website grader in the etsy forums.  http://websitegrader.com

Here's what we got:

Rock Tumbler

It's been a long time!  Christmas happened, most exciting-- I got a rock tumbler!  I wanted to tumble everything, but some of the sites that discuss tumbling polymer beads say that you should stick to polymer.  I may try a few other things too though.  I don't know how well it'll work, but hopefully I'll have necklace ready beads in just a few hours.  I also read somewhere that reheating the beads after polishing them also makes them shinier.  I'm ready to try whatever.  We'll see, hopefully I'll be posting some new necklaces soon, with very shiny handmade beads.

Bowerbirds and too much knitting

I went to see Bowerbirds tonight.  It was cool because it was right on campus and free for students.  It was really pretty and sounded so huge because it was in Gerrard Hall, which is supposed to be an intimate performance space, I think.  I'm going to be honest though-- and it might be because I don't know their music well and we were sitting, but I got a tad bored.  Don't get me wrong though, it was beautiful.  I'm crap at pictoral documentation of life, so no picture.  I'll see if CUAB- the group who put it on- has one later!



On another note, my hands, elbows, and shoulders have been hurting for weeks.  I'm really afraid that it's my daily knitting (I'm working on three scarves right now).  I don't want to kill my nerves!  It might be my book-bag, at least that's what I'm hoping since my shoulders hurt too.  I feel like I can stop being studious, but I'm not going to quit knitting.  And that's final!

Sometime Around Midnight

Scored a new treasury.  Go and click and comment it up!

 

you might notice that the colors are the same as my music widget.  I might have been stuck on a color combo!

Treasury in the making...

I'm working on a great new treasury, that was inspired by one of the great blogs that I follow.  This article is about a great new etsy artist called softboiled.  I love all of her hand painted pillows, but my favorite is this Jackalope pillow------------------------------------->>>>>


Be sure to check out the interview on looksgoodfromthefront's blog, and stay tuned for my treasury!
