adventures in metalworking: lord of the bracelets

So Big Boyfriend is away, visiting family while tiny chumley and I hold down the fort. So far, I've been pretty good with the dishes, and I've even managed to take in the mail and newspaper rather than call to have it all held for when our pack is back together and life is as it should be. Everything is relatively normal, save for the facts that we miss him, that chumley shifts into extra barky protector mode at the slightest noise, and of course, that I lose all track of time doing all things crafty.

Messin with metals with enough time to spare to load them on Etsy was the name of the game yesterday. Tiny bits of metal shavings flew everywhere while I drilled and hammered the day away. Background noise for Baxter, really, who spent most of his day lazing in the sun, and peering out at all the critters attracted by the sprinkler outside.

As his luck would have it, by the time I finished my projects and looked over to my sleepy boy, my mind didn't go down the same pathway that it did a year before. This year, no unneutered adventures in felting, but rather a regal look for my sleepy little friend. This year, I give you Baxter, elfin Lord of the Bracelets!



Oh yeah, here's a peekypoo at what I just loaded over at the kalyxcraftopia Etsy shop. Pretty baubles inspired by the prom, but with a very modern metals twist. Because everybody can use a little happy on their wrist. :)
