Another year, another reno. In November, B found an online drafting site and played around with designing a new master bedroom. Still feeling the aftershocks of the Great Downstairs Renovation of 2009, I cautiously asked when he thought we might do this work. “Oh, not until late summer at the earliest,” came his answer. We’ve been together 16 years. I suspected the truth was that we were weeks away from the bedroom renovation, not months.
I can’t recall where I first read about Victorian acrostic jewelry, but it was a few years ago, and the idea to use it as inspiration had been rumbling around in my head for a while. I found a great article all about it at the Sentimental Jewelry blog, but in short, acrostic jewelry uses the first letter of each gemstone to spell out a word or phrase or name that has sentimental meaning for both the giver and the recipient.
Seems I can’t enjoy late summer and blog at the same time. I thought I would just give a pictorial update on what I’ve been up to, jewelry design and knitting wise. I had my best summer yet at Angela’s store in town. So good, in fact, that all of my jewelry went there, with nothing left for Etsy. I plan to get stuff up soon, just in time to almost miss the holiday shopping season.
