There's no place like home...
Yesterday was spent hanging up and re-hanging up all sorts of pieces of artwork we've been having framed of late...they've been just sitting around and I was tired of seeing these pretty pieces doing nothing, so I grabbed my hammer and nails and went to town...and its like a whole new house...I also put together all the earrings that I'm gonna keep on the earring rack that is massive and hangs on the wall...I bought it years ago at a local art fair and it holds, I dunno, hundreds of pairs of earrings I suspect...a bunch anyway...and that took hours to put together...you wouldn't think so, but once I got started, I had to clean the silver stuff in the tumbler (that thing was running for hours as I tossed tons of stuff in it)....but the end result is pretty good, and I found LOADS of stuff to sell/donate in the jewelry box...I'm collecting it all into a pile and will post it probably on my site here, cause I don't think I can post it on Etsy, since I didn't make the pieces myself...this isn't my rack, but it looks very similar to this one...
I've been watching the IOC and their sad little attempt to quell the noise about the Chinese girl's gymnasts ages...nothing will be done, don't worry...the IOC doesn't want to look like fools, so they won't admit to any neglect, the Chinese gov't will just falsify whatever it needs to in order to 'prove' the girl's ages and it'll all go by the wayside...I think Martha Karolyi had the best idea - eliminate the age requirement altogether so that all countries can enter gymnasts in all ages...the US has good gymnasts that are 12, 13, 14 just like the Chinese do (as do other countries)...lets all play on the same level, or not at all...but if you think anything will come of this investigation it won't...don't hold your breath...it is what it is...
The neighbor's chickens are out in force zooming around the field and I'm cracking up at them...so cute...free range indeed!
