Weekend Update
Friday was my interview and I was super happy with the feel of it. The place seemed to be very nice, the position sounded fantastic, now I'm hoping for a call back.
Saturday was D&D day. I liveblogged it on twitter and facebook but for a super fantastic retelling of it you 'have' to stop by cerubus and read this. This was a wonderful session and I laughed sooooo much. We brought in two new player characters and despite a bit of scheduling mixing we got it all together and it was very good. To me a good gaming session is not kicking butt and flying through combat but it's when after the dice have all rolled one last time and the books are being packed up and you're truly and honestly looking forward to next session because it was just that enjoyable. Another fantastic bit was that we successfully had elfwench join us via Skype and it worked wonderfully. We have room for one, possibly two more people to join us.
Sunday was a work day. apisanthrop and I went out to his work and spend the day getting some work done. I mostly read while he worked but at least I was able to lend a hand here and there. I also got the 3-inch mini done for the Sun based dreamcatcher double that I've started. Next is to web and bead the 7-inch ring before setting the mini in the middle. So we both managed to get some work done.
Today's Find:
Photo links to shop listing.
(For the visually impaired, photo is of a hand beaded cuff bracelet and matching earrings in rich purples, blues, even metallic steel and some deep black)
I stumbled across Dante's Spirit on a friend's journal and was just in awe at some of the items offered. There is gorgeous beadwork, silks, and chainmaille over there and I'm terribly tempted to just bring it all home. To further sweeten the deal currently 50% of all proceeds will be donated to Akita Rescue and other animal related rescues, such as S.N.O ( http://www.siberiansneedingowners.org ). Seriously, stop by and check out this fantastic store.
Know of a handmade artist that you'd like to have a bit more publicity? Drop me a line here so I can add them to the list.
