Hawaii moving date set, Pahoa, Leilani Estates in the future!

Winter is still happening here in Philadelphia, PA, but my one way ticket to Hilo has been purchased and notice given at the job!
Still not sure how it all can be moved and fit in a container. My Richie says he can make it all fit in a 20 foot container, his audio studio, and mine, loom knitting machines, too much yarn, projects.
All the furniture is pretty much gone. Donated, tossed and left behind in the old house. Emptying out a 5 bedroom 3 floor brownstone was a challenge and I was worried for weeks after that the buyer would call and tell us we had some more things to take out. Like the giant tv, big and square and heavy, stuck on the second floor. Antique cabinets that were there when we moved in.
But they tore the place up and are, hopefully, restoring it to its historic glory.
But the new place near Leilani is gorgeous! It is weird that it has carpet in such a tropical and damp climate but we can deal with that later. I already know where I want my studio, a room where I can close the door and leave the mess behind. And I am sure some other rooms will be invaded by projects, beads and yarn.
I was going to put some things on Etsy for Valentines, but alas, it did not happen since I lost some parts to my Foldio lightbox, the back drops mainly. Maybe next year, and love and hearts are always in style, right? :)

Earrings from my picture creations

So the pictures covered with Magic gel turned out nice and fully cured. I read somewhere that they stay tacky but it is pretty cold in the house again, so maybe that is why they are dry. I wonder if it will change when they get warm or when spring warms up.. But so far so good. Will have to take some pictures coming weekend when I have more time. They are very shiny, maybe I can put them on the scanner.
So I made earrings out of the tree picture pendants. With an attempt to wire wrap, or at least make decent little loops. One earring came out a lot longer than the other so I had to do it again, and I am afraid I mauled the silver colored wire with my little pliers. I know you can protect the tip with some paper tape to prevent the wire from getting beat up and tarnish later on. But I thought this would be quick. Not so, but all done now and I will proudly wear them to work tomorrow. I added some pretty light blue crystals as a dangle from a badly strung bracelet my husband got for me in Taiwan. Contrary to what you might think, he had trouble finding cheap things "made in Taiwan" there. I guess they are all shipped to the rest of the world.
So now I have to re-string the rest of the beads into a necklace.
Tomorrow night I am supposed to go boating on the Schuylkill but it is supposed to rain again. Bummer, we will never get in race shape with all this weather we've been having !
