It is no secret that I am an unapologetic watcher of crap TV, so I shouldn’t be too embarrassed to point out that I have watched every moment of this season’s American Idol. I’ve made a deal with myself, though- no watching it without having something else to do at the same time. That way, I can just ignore the filler and commercials and just pay attention to the fun stuff.
Normally, I either knit or fold laundry, but last night I made some jewelry. I recently fell in love with the jewelry this Etsy seller makes, and that led to my buying a bunch of stuff from Fire Mountain Gems and going to town. That seller is basically making J. Crew knock-offs, and I am making knock-offs of her stuff, so while I can hardly call my pieces original, I am very happy with the results. So far I’ve made an amethyst cluster necklace and a coral-colored mountain jade mid-length piece. Maybe I’ll post pics later. I had to reinstall Windows on my home machine this weekend and I have yet to get the wireless back up and running, so unfortunately I am pictureless for a day or two.
Speaking of American Idol, how boring were last night’s performances ? Seriously. I am no fan of standards that have been played to death, and no matter what the judges said, nothing sounded fresh to me. Although, I give the show props for A) giving Adam the opportunity to go full-out gay theatrical while B) LOVING HIM FOR IT. That’s progress, right?

Agreed on American Idol and I look forward to seeing your jewelry creations!
