    A series of rings - bit of an assortment of simple silver rings for stock, plus one particularly hefty one.
    A pair of peridot earrings (commission, commercial findings in 9k - I'd rather use 18, but never mind).
    Some napkin rings (overdue - Argentium, keum boo, flush set stones)
    Practicing more on anticlastic forms (copper). Working on a couple of spicula at the moment; need to radius some of my hammers to properly fit the stakes. Once I'm happier with them, I'll make a couple of bracelets too.
    Working on a design for an engraved bracelet (still not happy with the drawings).
    Continuing with grain setting 100 CZs for practice.
    A belt buckle design (cut the parts, now need to work out what it is to look like).

    ...and some more setting up in the workshop too.

    (forgot - working on some repousse tools, some more needle burnishers, a couple of new stakes...)

    You may be right

    There's a couple of other bits knocking around on the bench too.

    I'm trying to get a bit better at documenting everything - timekeeping as well as techniques (and thoughts on the techniques, what I'd do differently, that kind of thing). It's something I do in the fulltime job anyway, so I ought to be able to apply it here.

    I just need to stop putting the logbook down in strange places.
