So I just realized my last post was a month ago.
And what a month it has been.
The fires really shook everyone up, and the winds are back. Malibu burned again over Thanksgiving weekend. I can't believe that there is anything left to burn. Once the fires here in my county subsided, it took a few days for the smell of smoke to go away and even longer for the ash to stop falling. Actually, on foggy days, it still smells like wet campfire.
I was blissfully unemployed for a while, and that ended rather abruptly.
I started doing a little freelance work for a local photography studio; Photo Aqua in Encinitas. I decided that it would be fun to go back into retail for the Christmas season* and I got called in to an onsite freelance position.
Needless to say, my jewelry production has been low. I have managed to purchase some yummy new beads and make a stunning Connemara Marble, Amethyst and Copper bracelet.
My mother and sister have now begun selling my jewelry at in home parties. So I need to get back into making more. And yes I am paying them. :)
Ohh, I have plans in the works for the next collaboration project with Ruth another member of EJA
Thats my update, I will have pictures soon!
*if you ever hear me say that it would be fun to work retail for the holidays, hit me!!! the hours are killing me!

First, I really like the del Mar set, very pretty and I know lots of work.
Second, having lived in San Diego, Tustin, and on base at El Toro as a young child I don't remember fires ever happening. I do remember the winds and the fog. And I can remember that in the late 50's early 60's there were already traffic jams in LA. That was my first experience of a traffic jam. Didn't happen again until we were transferred to DC.
I hear you about retail hours!!! Killing me too...
I'm from Southern California and vividly remember the Santa Ana winds. They are unreal. I'm glad you and your home are safe!
