Today I managed to fix a whole lot of broken jewelry. My hands are finally feeling better. I changed out earring wires to something more this century for a few pairs that I bought in the 1970’s and 80’s. New wires just gave them a slightly more modern look. I fixed a couple of chains, to fix a couple of necklaces. I am even good enough now to manage the smallest jump rings. I also unknotted 2 out of 3 chains. Unknotting chains is a lot like untangling yarn, who would have guessed that.
Tomorrow energy permitting I will start on a small pile of stitch markers for me. I have some earring singles, charms and beads to turn into stitch markers. Not that I need anymore stitch markers. If I lose a stitch marker a day it would be at least a year before I would run out of stitch markers. But I like to try new things and make my knitting pretty. I think of stitch markers as jewelry for knitting.
I managed to make 3 out of 4 post hospital doctor’s appointments / calls before breakfast. The last call was put in after lunch. I got very tired just sitting at the computer looking things up. The hospital worker said I should start to have more energy by Wednesday. I also binged watched 3 hours of The Crown on Netflix while adding 2 inches to a pounder scarf.
Below is a picture of the jewelry repairs that I made today.
