But I think I can make it up to you!
I have a bunch of goodies to share with you today. Finally! I've been a little under the weather the last week, and I'm still working on catching up, but I did want to try to get some of these things posted, lest you think I've abandoned my little ol' blog.
First of all, I've been a busy beaver in the studio. I added these to the shop today:
Carnelian (swoon!) cabs set in rusticated sterling silver (what else?!). I love these even more than I thought I would. The color is amazing and the weight of them is somehow pleasant. Not the kind you'll forget you're wearing but you just might smile a little as they swing to-and-fro beneath your lobes. ;)
AND
Just in time for the holidays, Buffalo Lucy is now offering Gift Certificates!
AND
I haven't forgotten about List it Tuesday! Here's this week's list (click for a bigger version):
So THERE!

One new item, in celebration of the autumnal equinox (already in the shop!):
Rusticated sterling silver bangle with charms of carnelian, aventurine and hematite.
And a couple of scenes from the backyard where Lilah was getting into mischief and picking baby pumpkins from the patch!
Happy first weekend of fall!

Spent a few hours at the bench this week... feels so good to be back in the studio after weeks of being away.
Custom order (sorry folks, it's already gone):
Carnelian and sterling. Love this.
Carnelian always looks so rich and juicy! One of my favorite stones.
And while I was at it:
Indian aventurine. Because who doesn't need a little sparkle?
Next week I'm hoping to create a few new bigger pieces so I can restock the shop! Watch this space!

And I've actually updated the shop twice this week!
Just a few juicy little treats for you, but something none-the-less!
Teeny tiny little earrings in carnelian and aventurine. There are a few pairs of each available (and I made a pair of each for myself!). They're great little everyday earrings. You'll forget you're even wearing them. As I mentioned, they're in the shop now. I'm still working away on some custom pieces but I wanted to make you (and me!) a little something too.
I have some very big news from last week! Our littlest peanut, Alice, took her first independent step! Those of you who know me only through my blog don't know that Alice was diagnosed with a very serious brain disorder in utero. Doctors did not expect her to survive until birth and warned us that if she did make it, there was a high probability that she would not have functional use of her arms or legs (among other just as dire predictions too numerous to list). Well, Alice is now 21 months old, crawling into all sorts of trouble, perfectly healthy, happy as a clam, and TAKING STEPS!!!
In other news... we are getting ready for a trip to Newfoundland in two weeks. I am SO excited. Most of my extended family hails from the glorious rock but I haven't been since I was teenager. I cannot wait to see it again. I cannot wait to share it with Stephanie and my girls. I cannot wait to take pictures and share them with you. I cannot wait to see all of my relatives, some of whom I haven't seen in 18 years! I can. not. wait.
I will most likely be closing the shop while I'm away. I'll post order/shipping deadlines in the next week or so. I do hope to get a couple of more items listed before I leave but I'm not sure if that will be possible. We'll see. Speaking of that, I'm off to the studio now...

PS: Forgot to mention... At the request of a few people, I've added that little Google Friends widget over on the right to make it easier to follow my blog. So follow me. Please. So I don't look like such a loser! :)
