Re: My first real finished jewelry!

This is beautiful Karlera, your friend is so lucky to be recieving such a wonderful gift!

Very nice!

How's your daughter doing?

Nice design ... cool combo of colors and shapes.

Thank you! It's for his mom really, he's paying me but I cut him a deal (Alex and I have been friends for a long time, I knew he'd offer to pay me and he knew I'd quote a price way too low).

Ooh, I never looked at it like that... nice perspective! And thank you!

Gosh, I was just looking out the window thinking that the breeze is a bit cooler than it has been, and wondering if my tomatoes will ripen in time... Autumn is on it's way!

Yep. It goes by in a flash.

It was just a moment ago that DD was an infant, cute and bald and in a little pink dress. (We dressed her in pinks and purples because everyone looking at her thought she was a boy -- she didn't get hair until she was almost two)

Next month, she takes entrance exams for high school. I have no idea where the time went.

Obligatory DD Story: I'm starting to get some grey hair, which bothers me immensely. So I bought some hair color in my normal color and used it the other night. I was quite pleased -- my hair now looks like it always had.

This morning, DD called to me in a sing-song, teasing way, "You dyed your hair, you dyed your hair!"

I said, "What? Did you find the wrapper in the trash? I can barely tell the difference, since it's the same color it's always been. All that's different is that I have no grey."

DD laughed. "I knew you did it because you have no grey!"

Little beast. I chased her around the kitchen and gave her "hair dye noogies."

Wait until she's 40. Heh.

Yay. Glad to hear all of this... I think you're the kind of parents who tune in and don't let it all slip by, so even if you can't hold onto this stage of her life, you'll always -remember- it.

I know what you mean. Avner is 5.5 months and I look at him and think, wow. Hard to believe this time last year I was just beginning to 'show' with him, LOL.

I hope you're right... the expression on her face as she slips off to sleep is absolutely priceless, and I remember my first daughter's infant sleepy-face but not my son's... I was so sleep-deprived! I really want to remember all of this, every second.

Sayin' "woo" to the ladies! (my daughter used to say that when she was a toddler, no idea what it means but it sounds good!)

yep. I studied memory in Grad school.

I used to hate in high school when I walk into a class room and suddenly realize I had homework due that I had forgotten about - the context - the room would remind me. And yes I started writing down assignments :)

Also good advice not to intentionally sleep deprive just to retrieve whatever it is you can't remember (I missed that part). State related or state dependent memory is a tenuous phenom.

That would be soooo cool, though... I need to find something that triggers more memories of his infancy, they are so precious, but so blurry.
