Found Some Mojo!

I found some ‘mojo’ ever so briefly!

It was 7.30am when I opened my eyes, but it was lovely cool weather, just right for staying under the covers for “just a bit longer” so I didn’t rise until 9am.

After Harley play, gardening and making my breakfast (of fresh crab meat, avocado, cherry tomatoes from the garden, salt, pepper and a light squeeze of lemon juice), I found my way into my art space.

I set up my very expensive work light, that I’ve had stored in my bedroom for a year, and it is amazing!

Even though my work table is directly in front of the glass sliding doors, the fact that those doors are tinted glass, reduces the natural light considerably. This work lamp has highly concentrated white light, but only on the small area where I direct it, and it makes the world of difference.

I also brought the amethyst crystal lamp from the bedroom to sit on the desk beside me. It looks and feels lovely.

The light showed me the flaws in my old bracelets, so I began to pull them apart and set aside the beads and charms that I want to re-use.

I began to put together an “extra large” bracelet in blues …

In a previous life, when I was selling the bracelets, I received a few complaints about them being too small, but I was buying the chains pre-made at a certain length, with a fob connection.

Now I have lengths of silver chain, so I can make them to any length.

I got to the halfway mark with this bracelet - it had taken me 2 hours to get to that point - and I was struggling to put a slip ring on one of the charms, so I gave up for another day. Maybe tomorrow.

By the time I found all of the findings, then the beads that I wanted, pulled apart an old bracelet to use some of the quality beads from that, set up the lamp on the desk, found my glasses, made a cup of tea and got halfway complete with the bracelet, more than 2 hours had passed and I was getting frustrated with that darned slip ring and charm, so I thought it best to take an extended break.

I went straight to my bedroom with Harley and lay down for 2 hours, checking my emails, watching my quiz shows and dozing a little.

For dinner I did baked vegetables (potato, pumpkin, onion, carrot, capsicum and tomato), steamed greens (beans, snow peas and broccolini) and baked barramundi in garlic butter and lemon.

Key lime meringue pie for dessert.

An hour of trivia and in bed by 7.30pm.

I’m feeling a bit weary now.

Nite all.
