So here I am doing a blog post, like that's really on my official to-do list ... trust me, it's not. But I'm going to make a serious effort to hunker down after I finish here and there's a couple of things I was pretty excited about and I'll be better able to focus when I'm done ... really.
I just plunked these new sterling pmc components into the tumbler. It was tempting to leave them as is, but the Angel Wing is a special order, so traditional finishing it will be. It's about 4" long and I tucked in a tiny raw white sapphire at the top - not sure why, it just seemed like the thing to do. It kind of takes my breath away ..........
And I've been thinking about this shape for weeks. Inspired by another shell I picked up on the beach in St Augustine. They're about 3" long and quite narrow. Also, sterling pmc allows me to work very thin - really loving that. Can't wait to see where they'll go .............
In my morning's agitated state, I couldn't decide what I wanted to listen to. A favorite song popped up on one of my Pandora stations and I realized that was it. So of course, I had to download what I could find and have had this song on repeat for the last couple of hours ... Ulrich Schnauss, Stars.
You can get more of an idea about my widespread focus (or lack thereof) by my current stack of reading material...
I'm a huge fan of Sibella Court and have been dying to get my hands on her new book, The Stylists Guide to NYC. To order from Sibella from Australia, it was going to cost a small fortune. There was one or two from Amazon sellers for even more astronomical sums. Then I happened to check one day and there was one in the UK for $28 - I snagged it. Of course if I'd waited 6 weeks there's a bunch of US Amazon sellers that have them for $24. Oh well, I'm still a happy camper aside from the fact I really haven't had time to do a thorough perusal. It's a great format, designed and set up for use ...
... and the pages are dark and lush and full of tantalizing little details - ABC Carpet and Home, one of my top five places to hit next time we're in NY ...
So what I'm really supposed to be doing is this ...
... a nice big wholesale order. If I don't get my distracted self to work pretty soon, I may be working nights for the next couple of days.
Okay, I'm better now ... so back to it for this little peep.

Love the sterling pmc components -- the angel wing is cool! And, oh yeah, love the reading list too. Mine is equally all over the place. I think I'm in the middle of half-a-dozen books and can't seem to get around to finishing any of them.
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to look at people's bookshelves and book piles. They're like fingerprints, in a way. No too are alike. I love their individuality. And though I now have an electronic reader, and find it useful occasionally, asking to borrow somebody's Kindle so that you can look at their ebooks is hardly the same thing...
