Random other things:
~ It's looking as though my nephew may get called Isaac. Me and mum hoped they'd go for Noah, but my bro says Isaac is the only name that he and my sister in law mostly agree on.
~ My bro helped me move some stuff out of the roof space today (as we are getting insulation at ridiculous o'clock on Monday morning). There was a lot of my school work, which is pretty much going straight in the recycling. There's also half a dozen demijohns, and a whole bunch of stuff that needs sorting. I don't wanna. I want to sleep lots (had a bad night last night because I was worried), and I want to crochet instead.
On the other hand, there was an unexpected yarn stash up there, including some really nice purple yarn that has subtle pink and blue flecks in it.
~ I've got another bracelet made from wire made, so that's cool. They can go in my shop soon!
~ I also have an armful of tumbled stones which are gorgeous, and I am going to turn some of the lighter (weight-wise) ones into jewellery. I think the majority are quartzes but, after internet searches and a handful of mineral books, I still don't know for sure.
(They are translucent to degrees. I turned a torch on some of them in a darkened room, and they showed some translucency. Also they look like bigger versions of the quartzes I used to pick up when playing out as a child. So that's two points in their favour. But I'm not going to sell them as quartz unless I am 100% sure).
~ I got my new glasses yesterday. Had a sight test two weeks ago, and my horrific sight has got worse, so I needed new lenses. Thankfully, it explained ALL the vision problems I've been having recently (gunky feelings on eyeballs, blobs in vision, trouble changing focus between near and distance).
It feels so much better now! Although these frames are radically different to my old ones (they were thin wire, these are chunky metal with plastic sides that are about an inch in height), so I still need to get used to them. But I will. It took me a while with the old ones, I remember (even if it was nearly ten years ago!)
~ Going to go to bed and sleep now, because I feel like crud warmed over. Maybe I will think about what toys I am going to make for my nephew :3
