Our anniversary (#23 for all you who doubted us) is on Sunday. Naturally Tom was without a clue as to what to get me. So I helped him out. As any good wife would do.
It has loooong been my dream to be able to design and make my own jewelry. Since I was a kid long. I used to cut pictures of rings and such out of Service Merchandise catalogs and just sit and look at them. It's why I own so much silver jewelry. I love it. I would bathe in it if I could.
A while back I asked a fellow artist/friend if she knew anyone who taught classes in jewelry making. She gave me the name and number of a lady who does so locally. I had the number for a good while but just never followed up on it, figuring that it would be much too expensive to do. Day before yesterday I finally decided to contact her, via email. We discussed the particulars, and the lessons are actually viable. So I told Tom that's what I wanted for our anniversary! To get jewelry lessons! I'm so excited!
It's not actually far afield from my usual request for jewelry, but this time I can make it myself. I'm going to sit down and try to sketch out a few things and see if we can do them during the lessons. I've got a container full of gemstones to use. Squeee!!!
Guess what absolutely everyone is getting for presents from now on?
(Oh. Psssttttt! It's a secret, but I got Tom a leather coat. He's been trolling for one. It's dreamy.)
