Linda is continuing to craft new earring’s using different wire wrap designs. Several of the designs will be a definite hot looking item that won’t last long.

Here are some photos of a wire wrapped earring. The photos show the start to finish of one earring she made last night. I will take some better photos with the 35mm camera and post them up later.

I even had to forgo a nap again today. I will try to make up for it by taking 2 naps tomorrow.

Thanks for looking

Well I worked on the new website today. I didn’t get as far as I wanted to. I had to watch over some alternate high shool students that come out with 2 teachers to the barn.  They really like walking the horses and grooming them. However they have a problem with using a fork to clean stalls. Seems like the fork handle doesn’t fit their hands.  I finally raked up the shavings into a pile for them to pick up. They did it put had to watch them to make sure they got all of it.

Linda is continuing to craft new earring’s using different wire wrap designs. Several of the designs will be a definite hot looking item that won’t last long.

Update on the wire wrapped bracelets I am Crash Dummy testing driving.  

I am pleasantly surprised that they have stood up to the abuse I put my jewelry through.  I really like the silver wire wrapped copper bracelet. It keeps my bad wrist cool which is nice to have on the wrist. I am waiting for the next wire wrapped bracelet to do the Crash Dummy test.

I even had to forgo a nap today. Monday is normally my take it easy day, which means at least one nap during the day.I will try to make up for it by taking 2 naps tomorrow.

Jewelry Inventory Update


ML Ranch Jewelry has finished the update to the Jewelry inventory.  Take a look a look at the new photos and updated prices.  I hope you like the new lower pricing on the Jewelry.

With the update done I am going to feed the horses and mules. I wished the wind wasn’t blowing 40 mph. I would have liked to take a quick ride this afternoon.

A Nap in the Making

ML Ranch Jewelry is seeing the light at the end of the tunnel on updating its inventory. I have 10 items to update on Ety and Art Fire. I will then add those items to Silkfair. I am looking forward to developing the new the new look for ML Ranch Jewelry’s web site. This time the web site should not take as long to develop as I have the knowledge now of what is needed after designing the previous website.

The big change to the web site will be the purchasing of  ML Ranch Jewelry’s products. There will be links to Etsy, Art Fire, Silkfair, and our Facebook page to buy our jewelry.  We have chosen this purchasing system due to the rising cost of the SSL that protects your credit card info secure.  In order to maintain a low price on our jewelry we had to make this change.

Linda is continuing to craft new earring’s using different wire work designs. Her banging on the anvil to shape the jewelry will continue to keep me awake.  I guess I need to find some ear plugs in order to get a nap.

Which reminds me while she is eating breakfast and not banging on the anvil is a good time to go get a nap. I have learned over the last 10 plus years with dealing with MS is never pass up a nap. So with that a napping I will go.

Linda is continuing  to work on her Master Class wire wrapping. They design she has settled on today and started crafting is an awesome piece. I really like the design and the way the wire wrap is turning out. She has it with her so I can’t take a picture to post up tonight.

Yesterday I played in the mud and manure for the afternoon to help work calves. Today I worked with the horses and mules in the mud and manure.  I was impressed with my two mule colts today when I worked them.

I worked my stud colt in the round pen for about 20 minutes today. He is coming along good.  I am going to try to ride him if the weather is half way decent.

I have finished updating all of the Necklaces we currently have on the Online Stores.  Check the necklaces out and the new prices.  I think you will like the price on them.

I am starting to update the Earrings we have on the Online Stores. I hope to have them done by Saturday evening.

ML Ranch Jewelry offers Wholesale prices on items  sold to other stores.  Contact us for the information on the pricing.

I am then going to work on ML Ranch Jewelry’s web site. I also want to get pictures of the new inventory Linda has ready to put on the Online Stores.

Linda is taking a Master Course Class in Wire Working. It covers designing the piece of jewelry you want. After that is goes into the handcrafting the piece of jewelry you have designed.

Linda is totally into the designing and handcrafting her first piece. She has torn thetest piece apart several times and started over on it at least three times I know of. Look forward to see some new wire work design’s and finished pieces.

I took the afternoon off to help a friend get his calves vaccinated. Then we sorted the heifers and steers. Nothing better than playing in the mud and manure for the afternoon

Tomorrow I get to play with the ponies. Going to work my stud colt so I can go to Team Penning Sat afternoon. Then it is back to catching up on adding jewelry inventory to our online jewelry stores. Maybe I will get to work on the new design for ML Ranch Jewelry’s website.

I am finally starting to catch up on the  things I have not been able to do due the snow. I started the afternoon cleaning snow off the Horse Hot Walker. Once that chore was done I moved horses out and on the hot Walker to get some exercise. Then I started to tackle cleaning stalls. I didn’t get as far on them as I wanted, so back at it tomorrow.

Linda started a Wire work Earring design. The pattern is a different wire work and is neat but time consuming.

My crash dummy testing on the copper with Wire Wrap bracelets is going very good. The wire wrap is standing up to my lifestyle. The copper silver wire wrap Bracelet is still cool on my wrist. Both Bracelets are a hit in my book.

The update to the jewelry listing with the new Lower Prices will start again tomorrow. Check out the new low prices.

One interesting note  is USPS has raised the flat shipping

Well we are going out to dinner tonight. First time we have had a meal together for a few days.

Take care and visit our On line Shops listed to below
