However, Canada Post is taking a long, lovely strike, so alas, I have to wait a little longer. In the meantime, I've still got a bit of sawing, filing, oxidizing and polishing to do! But I'm having the time of my life and learning so much new things!! :)</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

Just so you know the type of person I am. I am kind of a Type A. Okay. Probably a lot. When I make up my mind about something, I go with it. And when I say go with it, I mean like totally. I do it. I'm a do'er. I gett'er done. I'm also an uber quick learner and I like to challenge myself, I suppose. Guess that explains my 5-6 days a week at the gym routine. A bit obsessive-compulsive? Sure. Isn't that part of the Type A package? :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But here: my first soldered metal pendant...I'm trying to count...my 4th metal project to date. I went and got all ninja-like perhaps. A bit hasty. Sure. But honestly...that's how I roll. I'm a hasty son-of-a-gun. That's my style. And this pendant is totally my style too. I love silver balls (my favourite embellishment EVER!), different textures and stones...ohhh, stones...cannot forget stones! What's the use of doing those simple metal rings where you just solder one joint and file when you can do all that other fun stuff??!! So yeah. I had to go all crazy on ya'll. Don't get me wrong...I still have A LOT (oh a lot, a lot!!!) to learn. I don't deny that. But I'm so excited to keep going!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">In all seriousness, I am really proud of this. I can't stop looking at it, hehe. So proud! :) I still have to solder on a chain loop and set the stone, so I'm hoping that it doesn't self-combust or implode or anything like that on me...but I'm excited at the possibilities. I never knew how much of an adrenaline rush soldering was...it's basically playing with fire and I get sort of scared in a way but also in awe at what I can do now.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And by the way, I pronounce it exactly as it sounds: soldering.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Am I the only one?</div><div style="text-align: center;">I just can't get the spelling out of my head </div><div style="text-align: center;">and it sounds funny to say "sawdering".<br />
Almost like I have a lisp or something, ha ha.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">In any case, here she be: my first metal pendant.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The piece I've been ranting and raving about this whole post!</div><div style="text-align: center;">She's not quite done. But I'm a proud metal mama! :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Spring arrived and so did spring-cleaning, </div><div style="text-align: center;">lots of outdoor activities with the kids, </div><div style="text-align: center;">playing with new tools </div><div style="text-align: center;">and experimenting with working on metal a bit </div><div style="text-align: center;">(it's totally RAD!!!), </div><div style="text-align: center;">and contemplating life; </div><div style="text-align: center;">the good, </div><div style="text-align: center;">the bad </div><div style="text-align: center;">and the ugly. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Trying to focus on the good stuff </div><div style="text-align: center;">and clear up the ugly parts. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Ignoring the bad because really... </div><div style="text-align: center;">life is too good anyway. </div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I took these photos just after 7pm!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Yes. </div><div style="text-align: center;">7:00 pm at night.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Just after my baby's bedtime. </div><div style="text-align: center;">:o)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I missed out on photos at lunch today, </div><div style="text-align: center;">so was pleasantly surprised </div><div style="text-align: center;">when baby boy went to bed </div><div style="text-align: center;">and I still had the sun shining in on my kitchen table</div><div style="text-align: center;">(directly on it, in fact)!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The photos still have a little yellowish tinge to them</div><div style="text-align: center;">considering the sun angle and resulting shadows, </div><div style="text-align: center;">but still not bad!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I never, ever thought that the plentiful </div><div style="text-align: center;">spring and summer daylight hours up here </div><div style="text-align: center;">would be to my advantage </div><div style="text-align: center;">(well, except during those days as a teenager </div><div style="text-align: center;">that I walked home at 4am! hahah!). </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But now that I have 2 young bébés.....</div><div style="text-align: center;">daylight is not on my side...</div><div style="text-align: center;">My 4 year old is too smart for her own good, </div><div style="text-align: center;">and asks quite defyingly </div><div style="text-align: center;">(and logically, I might add): </div><div style="text-align: center;">"Why is it bedtime?????</div><div style="text-align: center;">The sun in still out and shining!" </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Good question kid....</div><div style="text-align: center;">There is a reason. </div><div style="text-align: center;">But you don't need to know until you're 8! </div><div style="text-align: center;">Now GET to bed!! </div><div style="text-align: center;">hee hee ha haa!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">:)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyways,</div><div style="text-align: center;">I did some mental math....</div><div style="text-align: center;">(via my memory from those past 4 am summer mornings) </div><div style="text-align: center;">And I figured out that by the summer solstice, </div><div style="text-align: center;">I should be able to reproduce similar pictures </div><div style="text-align: center;">(a la above)</div><div style="text-align: center;">of my goodies at nearly MIDNIGHT! </div><div style="text-align: center;">And I may just make an experiment out of it!</div><div style="text-align: center;">So stay tuned.... :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
