Life's a Stitch

And more recently life’s a creative adventure with some travel thrown in.

Needing some distraction from ongoing ankle fracture issues I did something that has been on my list for years – a silver smithing course. Over an eight and a half hour day we learned to solder sterling links, craft a toggle clasp, the techniques of hammering and embossing, and bezel setting of a CZ. That is my finished project. Accolades to a wonderful teacher, also a blogger.

Photo therapy also helps me forget the pain. Rye at eight months:
