Well, I finally got the tooth extracted, after weeks of dealing with pain, fighting the infection, taking antibiotics, I gave up and just got the damn thing pulled. 😏 Ironically the bloody gaping hole hurts less.
The kitty is mostly recovered from his bout of anemia, but he's still not quite himself and actually according to the vet may never be again. He's still super lovey he's just very nap-centric and doesn't want to play. 😐
I am a bit disappointed that he hasn't bounced back faster. I am also disappointed that in spite of weeks of planning and work and fancy stylized photos everyone said they liked I didn't make the cut for the maker challenge. 😔 Now I have to reconsider how much effort I actually put into that in the future, because not only does the disappointment sting but the number of hours I spent making a thing I don't normally make and I don't even really like, that I will likely be stuck with for months to years seems really wasteful. 😕
Balls!!
If you are not a Supernatural fan and that wasn't Bobby Singer's voice, then you probably don't get why Balls!! makes me giggle so much. 😄😆 It is just one of those "if you know you know" and if you don't know I can't really explain it. Similar to how chainmaille balls are made, once you know they are super easy and even fun but until you know they are a bit intimidating, at least they were to me.
I have mastered the pattern and some of my ring sizes actually work well if you triple up the connectors. I even managed to capture some beads inside a couple of them, so check bead captures off my "learn-it" list. Unfortunately, most of my beads are pretty small so you can't really see them that well and they don't work in the larger versions. 😅 I still have to decide what I'm going to do with all these balls now, originally, I had planned for Christmas ornaments but now I'm thinking fidget toys and even jewelry depending on the size.
Tiny gold "disco" ball earrings, "holiday ornament" pendants, squishy fidget toys, so many possibilities. Although, I can't stay distracted with these balls for too long, I still have scale-flower kits and star ornaments to make also. 😇
That was rude to tell you they were happy your didn't make the cut for the Maker's Challenge. You do beautiful work.

DeleteNo one said they were happy I didn't make the cut, not sure where you got that. ? I appreciate you complimenting my work though. 😇 I was just disappointed because I really tried this time. I put a lot of effort in, not just into the jewelry set I made but into getting really good photos for the listing. I posted asking for photo advice and re-shot 3 times and there were a lot of positive comments. I thought I actually had a chance. 😏
