Bonjour everyone!   It is Friday and Hobo decided to stay home to work today.  Yay! But that is not what I wanted to talk to you about. ☻ Have you all ever heard of Nancy Anderson? For those of you who do not know her, she is a collector of rusty things, dreamer, and an artist located in Colorado.   I admire her sense of humor and playfulness in her pieces.  Just take a look at all those delicious rings! Picture by Sweet Bird Studio One day I will have a ring of my own.  I especially like this one...

So what is on my agenda for today? I just finished up some yummy earrings rings for summer fun. Before.

Okay...this is scawy!  I will have to drill holes in this perfect, aged, old drawer.   I was bound to mess it up.  Before drilling into this wood I did a test run with a cigar box and figured something out.  One really should measure each hole from the top...i.e.,
