Something new

I have some time since I am on a break from my classes.
So, I decide to play with my lampwork beads I bought at the last Bead & Button show in Milwaukee.
I finished it with a viking knit chain. It worked out great!

Unbelievable....

Now this is truly unbelievable. A ten-year old giving birth and not only that, via -c-section.... The age of consent in mexico is 12 and so abortion was not available to her. She would have faced prison. What about whoever got her pregnant?!!

Fraud

Well, good thing I checked my visa statement carefully. Two charges for flights with an airline I never even heard of appeared... Then they were cancelled. So my first reaction was that maybe it was a mistake. Then, because there were 2 I figured I better led Visa know. Turns out this is a common method they use to see if a charge will go through without trouble. They apparently try this a few times and then go for the big one!
Pay close attention.....

So tired....

It must be November! I don't know if it is the weather or if it is the season or what. I am tired..... It can't be the weather because for November, really, I can't complain. The month maybe? I don't know. It could be work, school life or a combination of the above? Let's just say I am looking forward to some time off at Christmas. Did I say Christmas? Yikes, that just makes me realize how fast the time is going. I haven't done any jewelry work. I am just eying the pictures in my books and magazines when I have  a few minutes finally at the end of each day.  How about you, my blog reader? Are you inspired, and productive?
