October 2012. On Matt's return home from China, he was dismayed to discover that even this poor machine was out of work. Times are tough all over.
October 2012. While Matt was in China, Karen took a weekend long jewelry making workshop and came away with a very nice textured ring and pendant. We started with flat metal and learned how to cut, texture, and shape metal, how to solder, and how to make bezels to hold stones. Fun, but you really need bifocals for this type of work!
November 2012. At the 16th annual "3-Movies-In-1-Day" event, friends and family gather to support Matt's movie addiction. This was in celebration of turning 38 for the... 12th time?
