Busy bee...which is slacking off :)

I wish the day had 34 hours instead of 24.  I'll be liberal and throw in that I'd sleep for 6 and the rest would be all productive time, haha!  This weekend, some fabulous gemstones arrived (did you see my Facebook post?)  I ordered a total of 432 carats, of some seriously gorgeous gemstones, natural stones, stunning beads.  I can't wait to get cranking in the studio this week... after slacking off over the weekend. 

But slacking is good and sometimes needed.  My hubby and I spent yesterday on boulder rocks off of Lake Michigan.  They are huge enough that 2 people can lay on one rock.  I remember studying in college, that they were there to hold the shore in place and to prevent it eroding away.  I also remember coming to the very same spot with my parents & grandma to spend Sunday's basking in the sun (think mid 1980s!), climbing the rocks and hoping I don't fall between the cracks.

What is also awesome, is that the rocks are near Northwestern University, and many students paint them with creating thoughts, slogans, or marriage proposals.  I love walking and reading each one.  Some go as far back as 1960's.
