Here's a picture of the cross...finally. Great gift for Christmas. With the rain and no sun outside, I'm reluctant to go in a create anything new. Just feel like curling up on the couch and catching up on "In Treatment."

Here is a really cool blog that includes lots of wedding things if any of you are interested. One of my Etsy treasuries was included in this. http://thepaintedrabbit.wordpress.com/http://thepaintedrabbit.wordpress.com/.
I'm excited my treasury was included in a "wedding blog" recently. As most of you know that create them, they take an incredible amount of time to design, and once designed, you have to keep up with them and replace sold items, etc. It's lots of work, so much, that I don't always get around to replacing the items. Oh...to have more time in the day to do everything I need to get done. Anyway here's my treasury

Okay, so the rain and the recent invasion of fruit flies in my house is not helping my motivation to make jewelry. These flies are EVERYWHERE. Yikes, I have never been so annoyed. Purchased something at Lowe's that was supposed to get rid of them...but it's not working. As I sit here I am looking at three swimming in my Pinot Grigio. Those darn little bugs. Anyway, hoping to get some new work up soon. Trying to work with a couple stores too to get some new looks to them. Any ideas on how I can get rid of these annoying flies...please let me know. Have a great evening.

Finally asked a fellow member of Etsy about my soldering problem. What a wonderful person and loads of information she gave me. I attempted what she told me, and to my surprise it worked. Looking forward to getting back to making rings tomorrow. I have about 10 cut out...so I'm very excited. Thanks Melissa for all your thoughts...they were so very helpful.

Okay, after a long, long absence from my blog site, I have decided to make time for it again. Lots of complicated things happening in my studio. My pickeling solution is not working right, which is making me crazy. I have changed it several times and can't seem to get it right. I can solder some things, but others will not solder. VERY FRUSTRATING!!!!! Anyway, I have decided to concentrate on earrings, bracelets and rings, once I get the solution to work. Necklaces just don't seem to be selling like they used to. Too much work, time and materials involved to keep messing with it. I'll do a few, but not like I used to. Okay, enough of that. Looking forward to getting my next 10 rings completed and on Etsy. Loving Etsy and the community of people I'm meeting on there. Lots of new things in my shop. Check it out at http://www.etsy.com/shop/MissieRabdau. Have a great day.
