amazon_syren Jan. 26th, 2008 05:30 pm)Choir went well.
Thank goodness.
And I don't screw up as much as I thought I did, so yay! :-)
After choir, I dropped into the Sassy Bead on Bank (which is right near where we do our rehearsals) and was able to make some exchanges.
What I brought back:
- Strand of mahogany obsidian chunks (left over from Explodingrunes' hammer necklace - which he liked, woohoo!)
- Strand of dark green jade balls _ strand of yellow onyx balls (too big for the pride necklace I had in mind - the balls I'd have been using for the other colours are smaller, and significantly cheaper, so I decided to say 'screw it' and get something else. I kept the red ones, though, which I have two strands of, for my 'Blood Countess' collar. Which should be quite snazzy. Hematite, or (possibly) onyx, will be the contrasting colour). :-)
What I got in exchange (+ an extra six cents):
- (much shorter) strand of snowflake obsidian (regular cut, not irregular chunks)
- another strand of red fossil (for the Blood Countess collar)
- a package of 5 silver/nickel magnetic clasps
- 26 small nickel balls
- A cowrie shell set in silver - very pretty and quasi ornate. Will likely become the center-piece of a nickel-&-shell!chips (and possibly pearls) princess necklace. It's really pretty, and I like it. :-)
the snowflake obsidian + about 14 of the nickel balls (plus a wodge of my hematite balls) + some of my grey Sculpey will become the "Frost Hammer" necklace -- I'm inclined towards donating this one to Gaia Gathering, for use as a door prize or a fund-raising piece or something.[1]
After that, I came home and ate. And watched "The Matrix". :-)
<*insert squeeing about Belinda here*>
To do with the rest of my evening:
Finish Dealing (however temporarily) with The Bedroom.
(Seriously. I just sorted and folded all of Paul clean clothes, for ease of moving out of the way? So many of his clothes are coloured for his office job - sage/beige/white - and so few are coloured for his skin tone... He needs blood-ruby-wine-garnet-cherry-crimson-burgundy reds. He has tomato/scarlet reds. He needs malachite/emerald greens and he has sage/olive greens. I feel this sudden urge to go shopping. For my husband. This might or might not be good. :-\ )
Anyway. His clothes are all on the client bed in the office now. Now to tidy up the rest of the stuff. (There's a lot of Stuff to deal with... Good golly...). Wish me luck! :-)
After I'm done with that, though, I get to have a nice long bath, with a book (not sure which, yet) and chocolate-mint bath milk. :-) Woohoo! :-D May re-dye my hair tonight, too. Not sure yet. :-)
And now for something completely different: A Meme. (Oh, the sarcasm...)
Or at least the results of a meme. This is what I got for the album cover meme that I ganked from Ami_B:
You can thank Nelson Mandela for the spectacular album title, by the way. :-)
According to the "Random-Wiki Album Generator Meme", these are the song titles:
1) Crowninshield Island
2) Domingo Amestoy
3) Ebru Kavaklıoğlu
4) Colne Railway Station (in the rain)
5) The Twinkle Tales
6) EXR
7) University Station (MTR)
8) Plastic Bait
9) Bayou Classic
10) Shiori (Inu Yasha)
11) Bhupen Hazarika
12) Magnificent Seven
13) Gadarat
14) Kremikovtsi
15) Kumsusan Memorial Palace
Okay, some of this doesn't sound entirely horrible - like it would fit with music that resembles that of Clan of Xymox, for example. But some of it sounds utterly stupid. "The Twinkle Tales"??? (I confess, track ten was supposed to be "2005 Blue Jays Season", but I just refuse to do that. Too bad. :-P)
Anyway. That is all. Now I must go and do more bedroom-prep. :-)
- TTFN,
- Amazon. :-)
[1] Note to Self: When next at Michael's, pick up:
- Hematite balls
- Shell chips (white/un-dyed)
- Citrine chips
- irregular pearls (un-dyed)
- Turquoise balls (maybe)
- Tiny onyx balls
- Fancy jasper chips
- Red jasper balls
- Shell balls OR tiny cowrie shell beads.
I need to figure out how to make my little Sculpey Goddess figures. :-)
Thank goodness.
