the weekend

Today I am recovering from my travels. The weekend always goes so fast when I go to Nebraska. The driving, the visiting and this time the jewelry making.

We were able to squeeze in a kayaking evening. Above are photos of my new kayak. I had no plans of purchasing a new one. But it was on sale, it is sky blue and my other one is already sold. And I just really thought it was pretty.

News on the jewelry front...
Saturday was a jewelry making day. I did get a lot done. I am super excited about a possible polishing time saver. My brother had a great idea...he told me to get a case cleaner (these are normally used to polish ammo cases). I did a little googling this morning and found another lady who used a case cleaner on jewelry. So I am off to Sportsman Warehouse today to purchase one. If this works, all the polishing will be done automatically. I can just start it and go. No more polishing by hand. I am so excited!!! This could save days and days! I will keep you posted :)
