Distraught enough to Blog about it....

To the untrained eye this looks like a lovely bottle of wine, but for the more observant readers, it is a minor tragedy.



Cork broke :-( Poor little nub (see the floater?) liked the wine sooooo much it stayed behind. Instead of you-Googling "how to remove a broken cork from wine bottle" I pushed it in with a knife... so wine, under pressure, shot all over. I didn't have an apron on. I did have a white shirt on. (and *ding-ding-ding* an experimental necklace that was not affected at all)


It didn't stop me from enjoying this lovely Cabernet Sauvignon from the Round Barn Winery in Baroda, Michigan. It is nice and dry, not very oak-y. I like dry and I like oak-y. So, on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the best thing to cross my lips this millennium, I give it a 5. That's pretty good considering what it did to my shirt.*

*The stain was not taken into account during the scoring process.
**Please note I'm taking literary license with the word distraught. This was a minor stain, that if it doesn't come out I'm thinking of dunking the entire shirt in wine, because it's actually quite a lovely color. All in all if this is the worst life hands me today, I'll take it. Squirting wine and all.

Cheers!!!

Is that thunder I hear?

I've been getting ready for another Very Big Show. It's a (nearly) week-long event at the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival between Hart and Ludington, Michigan. This is a Womyn only event, where they serve us 3 vegetarian meals a day, have several large tents for getting out of the elements and live music is played from dawn until way past dark. Plus I will be there showing (and selling) my jewelry. Should be a guaranteed good time! Check out the site for more information on other going's on there. I was going to go even if I didn't get in to sell my work.

If you happen to come, stop by my booth, introduce yourself, it would be lovely.

Now that my computer data loss has been resolved (thank the gods for backups and yes, I also floss) I should be able to start posting new images again...when I get some that is...I have been hammering up a storm of jewelry.

A storm I tell ya!
