So today I got no sleep. Stayed up real late (accident) on the computer then tried to sleep. Didn't work.
Got up around 7:15 to see that mom was already awake. No biggie. I laid on her bed and read the newspaper for a while then the other three came in. We talked for a bit then decided we'd make breakfast.
I gave mom a purple and blue anodized and bright aluminum byszantine bracelet to go with ehr necklace.
Make waffles, mom said she wanted a small one with lots of strawberries and a little bit of whipped cream. We gave her three full size waffles, tons of strawberries, lots of whipped cream, backon, eggs and orange juice. That was pretty fuuny. Grandma came over too and had some of our waffles.

So mom saw the flowers we'd picked out, and after she finished half of her waffles and all fo the bacon and eggs, we gave her another present! We took om to see Speed Racer today. She'd watched it when she was younger and had wanted to see it when she saw that a movie was coming out.
It was pretty good, would have been betetr if there was no swearing in it. they said a couple words here and there, the bird was flipped, some more swear words, not too many but enough that I'd not take my kids (if I had any) to see it until I'd found a way to censor out the crap.
I'm not sure what happened after that, I think mom went shopping. I took a nap, longet than I'd wanted. When I woke up the pizza guy was at the door so I had some pizza and watched the rest of the Princess Bride.

Yay for fun days.

I sold a trizantine bracelet to a woman at my brother's basketball game last night. She'd seen me making stuff the game before and asked me a couple questions about it.
And this game she asked if I wasn't going to make jewelry again, and I said it depends on how good the game is. That got a few laughs from her, her mom and my mom.

So like, after the tip off (or whatever you call the beginning of a basketball game) I sat on the belachers and constructed my trizantine bracelet out of black rubber, silver and purple alimunum rings. (looks like this.)
I'd pre-counted the rings (56 silver, 28 purple, 28 black rubber, 112 total) based on my other four trizantine bracelets. I was wearing one at tht eime so I knew how many rings I'd need to make it fit just right. And I had a few extras just in case I dropped one. (I did.)
So some time in the third quarter I finished the bracelet. It would have taken me less time if I hadn't been distracted by the game going on a few feet away from me.
But before I could even try the thing on, the lady's mom wanted to see it (they both loked the various chains I was wearing) so I let her look. then the lady looked at it and asked how much I would charge for one.
Due to them being people we've known for a few years, I knocked a couple dollars off the price before I even told her how much I'd sell it for.
I said ten bucks, normally I'd charge 12-15 for a trizantine bracelet.
So the two women went digging through their pruses for the ten dollars, and I got a various assortment of ones, quarters, dimes, nickles and pennies. They actually overpaid by one cent. (I treid to gove it back but she refused.)
The downside? Now I have to make another silver and purple trizantine bracelet for myself.

So now I've sold two chainmaille items. One to a lady at work, another to a basketball mom for her niece.
