We had family/company this weekend, and I actually cooked a few meals for them. They came to visit from Virginia for the National Apple Harvest they have here every year. I don't go to it anymore, I just think most things are over priced and it's not the artists/and or crafters fault when they have to pay a certain percentage of what they sell to those who hold the Festival. Ok, I'm over that already.
Last week before company arrived I tried playing with more sterling silver wire again. This time trying a pattern for a breast cancer awareness pendant that I saw on wire-sculpture
Mine didn't quite turn out like theirs did, I think I was trying to be too quick and got a little "jerky" with the wire instead of going with the flow, so to say... But, I'm still playing with wire and beads, I'm enjoying it, and trying different things, and learning along the way.

I think I've mentioned in a previous post that we've been trying to get my mother to move in with us. So far from talking to everyone, I think this is the option she is going to choose. It will be great having her here, but that leaves us to finding contractors for the addition we will need, finding all new Dr.'s, banks, etc..for my Mom, plus we've told her that we will come down (phila.) and move her up here. This will be a huge step for her, as she's had her own house for more then 40 some years, so if there is some hesitation I certainly understand it.
I have off work tomorrow, I'm hoping to at least get a list started as far as what I need to get done....such the procrastinator I am.

Mary, the Jewelry looks Wonderful. You have taken to this so well. I love what you are making. That is good news about your mom. We had my Grandmother live with us the whole time I was growing up. It is a real Eye Opener when we have to have our Parents come live with us. My mom and I have discussed this at length. Much Luck and an Easy transition for your mother. I am sure it cant be easy for her. Hugs , Keep up that Jewelry Making you really have a Talent for it. Jamie
Mary that pin is just beautiful! I don't see any 'faults' in the flow. Is Wire Sculpture and on-line group?
So glad things are beginning to be decided with your Mum, I am sure it will all be easier once the decision is made.
Mar I love your jewlery!!
I know it's a hard decision to move for your Mom .. I hope she sees the benifits of moving in with you.
