recently...


I finished my first piece from the silver course - a simple silver ring. I measured, cut, annealed, shaped, soldered, pickled, sanded & polished my oval silver wire. Originally I was going to give it a brushed finish, but I've decided I like it shiny (plus I spent ages making it shiny, I don't want to undo all my hard work, lol). It's not perfect, but I'm really happy with it anyway.

Currently I'm working on some design ideas for my next piece - we're going to learn to rivet :)


I've also been enjoying the beginnings of some warmer weather - warm enough for sandals even. Although it will be cold again for the next few days - the joys of spring.

& been baking again - Sticky Gooey Lemon Brownies this time (a Pinterest find). Although given the lack of chocolate, we've decided to call them Lemon Blondies. They were pretty popular - let's just say I didn't need to find a very big container to store them in!

    and those blodies look delicious, but would likely blow my Weight Watcher points in one or two bites.

  7. I love the simplicity of this ring, it's really lovely. I like the sound of those lemon blondies too, I quite like citrus things might have to give them a try. Thanks for stopping by my blog too Vickie it was nice to meet you:)
