I want everyone to remain calm....

but I have to share that I have discovered the color of UTOPIA.

I call it Peacock Blue but it makes me feel so fulfilled looking at it, I refer to it as Utopia.

Here it is over etched copper, lightly sanded to bring out the contrast of the underlying metal.

This was a limited edition of 12 pendants, called Old Typewriter. I would love to link you to the listing, but they have been lost. Yes, that is correct, you are reading that right, LOST. I have this awful feeling that I took the bag that contained all of the pendants and placed it on the packing slip of the most recent order for 1 of them and between me, Mike and my mom, who is helping us ship now, the whole lot was prolly shipped out. Sickening feeling inside.

I will have to make more, they were that cool.

Anyway,
I have chains in textured copper, satin finished coin beads, links in small, medium and large sizes and toggle clasps all listed. Finally!
I even cut and drilled some copper and brass charms for peacock blue dangles.

I kinda wanted to keep these, they are perfect for my paired down style of disc on an ear wire preference. But I am not sure when I'll be able to sit down to jewelry projects, I am setting up a new inventory system with Mike for missficklemedia and assigning numbers to every stinkin bit of stock I have so who the heck knows how long that will take!
I hope you enjoy working with the Peacock Blue!

Let's see? What else has been going on? Mike got sick, really sick. While he was suffering a cold, his blood count dropped back down and hovered over 8.3 which is .3 points away from when the doctors like to give blood transfusions. Mike really wanted one as it helps him feel better almost immediately, but if you get too many they stop helping. So instead they upped his medicine, an anabolic steroid that helps his body create more oxygenated red blood cells. He is now taking 250mg daily. It's like living with The Hulk. My sweet teddy bear of a guy is suddenly, inexplicably, enraged and irrational. Many, many disagreements are happening at the LeVart household. I have to learn to just walk away, (even when I know I am right) until his body can adjust to the extreme level of steroid in his system and his mood levels out. 

Pinky had a second bout of tonsillitis but I learned with the last experience and was able to get her to the doctors in time so she could immediately get on the right antibiotic. The last time, she went to the doctors on a Thursday, they missed the diagnoses, her throat swelled shut on a Sat. and she had to go to the hospital. This time, I heard it in her voice and looked at her throat, sure enough the signs of tonsillitis were starting.

Poor baby. 

Everyone was healthy enough to celebrate Halloween though so we went to Six Flags during the day and then came home and trick or treated until we fell over from exhaustion!  

Here are my Little Bo Peep and my Ninja Warrior;

Cute huh?

I can't believe it is already Nov.12th! This month is zooming by and I should be thinking about Christmas presents. Have you started? My mom claims to be done, I don't know who she's trying to impress, but I know she can't stop. She will continue buying all the way up to the day of, she can't help herself.

I'm asking everyone for cash so I can pay off my dental bill. It is a huge dark cloud hovering over me all the time and he won't do any more work until I pay off the remaining balance. Heartless Dentist. But he is the best, he uses laser dentistry, which means no pain.

Well, I am off to visit blogs now so I hope you haven't been like me, blog slacking!
