Countdown to Gifting

I hereby officially announce that I am RUNNING OUT OF TIME!! I have holiday gifts ready to go for my BFF Sharon and for Chickie. I have Poo's somewhere in my messy computer room, but will have to do some excavation on Wednesday to unearth it (or purchase replacement items on the fly). DH's project(s) are progressing actually fairly well. Today I get to finish the saw work on the silver setting, anneal, and lay out the Dwarvish text to have it ready to be stamped tomorrow. I also need to drill the skull. But I'm fairly certain that I may not actually assemble all of these components until he decides if he wants all three as a single piece or would rather have two separate neckpieces made. I can make him a third Dwarvish piece if he wants - my test piece actually is very useable, just has a slightly different-colored background.

And then there are my gifts for Michelle and sundry. I'm SO looking forward to one more day at the kiln tomorrow. The base coats are complete, so it's just a matter of adding color and pattern to the pieces. That's the fun part and I can hardly wait. At least I'll be warm. It's warmer today (above 0 F at least), but it's Minnesota, it's winter, and we'll be in the deep freeze until May - LOL. Have a wonderful Tuesday!!!
