New Items: We have some new sizes of bling gemstones now in our store. The new sizes are 10mm beads in the following new colors -- emerald, aquamarine, blue sapphire, blue topaz and blue zircon. The pictures of the Blue Topaz and Blue Zircon beads don't do these gemstones justice. We plan on retaking these pictures. Boomer sez trust us, if you like blue, you will like these colors. You can view the new colors of 10 mm beads below. (Just prior to Thanksgiving, we ran out of several sizes and colors of gemstones. We now have most sizes of our gemstones in stock and will have more in stock Tuesday evening as another shipment will arrive on Tuesday.)
Boomer Philosophy: What do you do when you are making a new design and it doesn't work properly the first time? You could quit, or your could scream for help. Boomer sez that the best approach is to do a little trial and error experimentation. Try using a different gauge of wire. Try using a different hardness of wire. You can even try using a different approach to shaping the wire. The important thing is to try several things, but only change one thing at a time. This is the basis for the "Scientific Approach" and it even works for more mundane tasks like making jewelry with wire and beads.
Warning! Joke Follows.
Boomer Humor: Boomer likes to play Frisbee but for a reason he
hadn't previously described he only plays Frisbee in the afternoon
immediately prior to his dinner.
In the afternoon, Gary will throw the Frisbee and Boomer would chase it and catch it on the
fly, then bring it back. When given the opportunity to play Frisbee in
the morning, Boomer isn't interested. Last week Gary asked Boomer why
he wasn't interested in playing Frisbee in the morning. While sitting
in the grass, Boomer looked up and indicated in Boomer sign language "I'm sorry, but I've got Anal Glaucoma."
Gary asked Boomer what kind of illness was Anal Glaucoma. Boomer replied "I really
can't see my butt getting off this grass and chasing that Frisbee." (This worked for
Boomer. Gary and Boomer didn't play Frisbee. You can also try this at work.
Call in sick with Anal Glaucoma and when your boss asks for an explanation tell your boss "I really can't see my
butt getting out of bed today." It should get a laugh, but be
prepared to go to work anyway.) In the picture of Boomer at the top of
this newsletter, you can see what he looks like when he is afflicted with
AG. |
