I have three capricorns in the house - three goats. And, boy, are they all stubborn! Nothing in life has prepared me for raising two toddlers. It's overwhelming and exhausting most of the time. It can be fun, too, mixed in with the screaming and dirty diapers.
I've found a new hobby, though, or rather I'm preparing to start a new hobby. I always collected fossils and neat rocks and gemstones when I was little. Now that I'm a big girl, I've resparked that interest because of Ebay (which should be called Freebase, because, yes, it's that addictive). Thanks to Ebay, I have the power to buy excessive amounts of pretty gemstones right at my fingertips. And, it's funny, because I find good deals and then groan when the shipping charges are all added up. However, I plan on turning these pretty little pebbles into beautiful, one of a kind necklaces. And, yes, folks - I am that selfish that I will prbably keep them all for myself!
Now, when I sit down to start making a necklace, it will be interesting to see how far I get - you have to consider the fact that I rarely get to sit for longer than five minutes at a time, unless I completely ignore the children! And, will grabby little hands ruin my projects? Probably, at least for as long as it takes to pick up little beads out of the carpet.
