I haven't posted in what seems like a LONG time for me. Blogging used to be easy, but the longer I went without posting, the harder it seems to be to find something to talk about.
I'm calling it the blogging "yips". I think the term yips actually means something like a golfer who loses his ability to putt or a surgeon who's hand starts shaking.
So I'm starting back with something easy- what I got for Christmas. The "other Karla" got me this beautiful journal and a bag of felted balls. You wouldn't get (or give) felted balls to just anyone, but I love them. Clearly, Karla "gets" me.
Karla "gets" me too. She knows how much I love the French General books, and she got this jewelry kit from the actual brick and mortar French General store when she was in California before Christmas.
However, she may have over estimated my skill at putting together jewelry. I can attach a charm to a chain with a jump ring, but that's about it.
See all those pearls and pins- they all have to be cut bent and strung to make chains like the one in the upper right corner that took me an hour to make.
I'm going to have a beautiful (and fun) necklace when I'm done...which will probably be NEXT Christmas...but I'm up for the challenge.
I'm lucky to have friends that "get" me.
Ok, that post wasn't too hard- hopefully the only "yips" in my future will be when this guy looks out the window and sees a cat.
