So I've been working on this complicated (for me, anyway) three-strand necklace that uses turquoise beads and large white shell beads. I still can't get one of the strands to sit quite right, which is SUPER annoying, because I don't know how to fix it and I'm really proud of this necklace and I want to show it off! My perfectionist tendancies preclude me from photographing it just yet.
I do, however, plan on finally taking some pictures of the sparkly pink and black bracelet I made the other day so that I can post it on Etsy. I hope it sells quickly so I can justify making more, because I love it!

The Fallout soundtrack is making my brain cells rot. That is all.

Grace in Small Things 5.365
1. A fellow artist (hehe) complimented my large silver flower necklace, hurray!
2. I have my volunteer interview tomorrow at the animal shelter tomorrow, and I'm way more excited than nervous.
3. Turquoise beads
4. My inspiration board, which houses cards from my sister and my best friend, pictures of friends and actors, and things from fellow Etsians.
5. Wood Wick candles, which smell and sound delightful.

Grace in Small Things 4.365
1. FINALLY attending the volunteer orientation at the local animal shelter so that I might talk to cats who are not my own.
2. Meeting a dog who was more calm in a large social setting than I am.
3. Hours and hours with no obligations, just playing video games with my hubby.
4. Seeing several twins of my cat, one of whom I named Buddha.
5. Moving the plants back outside because it does not stay cold here in south Florida. :)

Grace in Small Things 1.365
Because we can all stand to think a little more positively, I've (finally) decided to do Grace in Small Things, created by Schmutzie.
1. My fat cat (perhaps I've mentioned her?) is snuggling next to me. She's my own personal space heater.
2. The guinea pig cage is clean, and I feel like a good (pet) parent.
3. The palm tree outside is swaying violently in the wind, which means it catches my eye every six seconds.
4. I have a new light box with which to take pictures for my shop!
5. My parents just visited, and I am so lucky to be so close to them.

Etsy Chat Team
Oof, sorry for the blog slacking. My parents were here for a week and I couldn't take pictures of my stuff, so I was highly unmotivated.
However!
My light box arrived, and it is GLORIOUS. I got it from ThinkGeek, a website I could pretty much live at. The light box itself folds into a tiny little compartment in the bag that it comes with; I was worried that it would be super small, but it expands quite a lot when you unfold it! Somewhat unfortunately, it becomes about the size of the cube my cat loves to sleep in...She jumped into the light box twice within seconds of my opening it. I really hope she doesn't ruin this one, so I'm keeing it folded up (even though that means it's a bit wrinkly).
The lights that it comes with are also very handy; they have built-in stands, so it's very easy to position them. They are much brighter than the lamps I was using previously, so hopefully that will save me some editing work in Picasa!
In other Etsy-related news, I am now part of the Etsy Chat Team! I'm very excited to be part of a team, especially one with people I have already gotten to know and whose shops I truly love and admire. I'll be linking to these shops in a blog entry very soon, once I get myself a bit more organized!
