Jewelry design: wood

I would like to be able to carve wood.  And make more soap.  And dye, spin and weave.  But at the moment, none of those are particularly reasonable things to wish for, given the current number of projects I’m already neck deep in.  But at least it shows I’m not so tired of crafting anymore.

I’m pretty sure I still need a long vacation from work, but I do seem to be drawing myself slowly out of my recent funk.  Maybe it was the Omega-3’s I’ve been taking.  Maybe it’s that our high was only in the nineties today.  Maybe it was the Halloween swap I joined.  Oh, yes, I’m past ready for August to be gone.

Luckily, there’s such a thing as Etsy, where I can go find all of the things I only wish I could make, all conveniently available for purchase.  I have no idea what my life was like before Etsy.  Did I seriously buy jewelry elsewhere?  Carved wooden earrings with wooden posts are so much more interesting.  I didn’t even know you could buy wooden post earrings.  I’d like to borrow the woman who makes the earrings on the top right and have her show me how she does that.
