Torn...

I think this word perfectly sums up how I've been feeling for the past week...

...torn...

This is not necessarily a bad thing!

I'm torn between wanting to continue with my *Moroccan Odyssey* Collection...

and wanting to start something new,

something fresh.

I bore easily...do you?

I'm certainly not done with my Moroccan collection...

there are still many, many more ideas waiting to be brought to life!

Yet, I want a change.

I want to try something new.

So, tonight I did.

In between cooking dinner and packing for a 3-day trip interstate tomorrow (well, I was procrastinating on that packing bit), I taught myself how to make a basic prong setting...


This is just the beginning,

there is much work yet to be done...

but can you see where I'm going with this?


I felt revitalised, energised seeing it come together...


...a buzz of exhilaration as I watched the solder flow...
(and I held my breathe ever so tightly because I was certain I would melt the wire!)

And now I'm torn because I have to leave this unfinished while we go away for three days!
(ARGHHH!!!)

But, good things come to those who wait, non? ;-)


~*~

I was also torn over these earrings I made last week...

The *Lost Medallion* Earrings
...because I just can't stop wearing them...


...and they were supposed to go into the shop...


...so that someone else could love wearing them just as much as I do...


Dilemma!

Soooo...I decided to create a Made to Order Listing.


I will create a pair of these earrings just for you!


All you have to do is ask :-)

Wishing you a wonderful, wonder-filled weekend, my friends!
