This was a really great weekend! I got almost all of the way caught up on orders. In fact as of right now I have orders dating back only about 3 days. I think I’ll get 100% caught up this week so that orders are no more than a day or so back.
I do have a three cash orders that are complete and ready to go out but I haven’t received payment yet. I sent out emails but I haven’t heard back on them from the customers. I guess I’ll move them over the the “pre-made” Mala section in a few days if I don’t hear anything.
I made the first of the Purple Jasper Malas. It was a bracelet Mala comprised mainly of Purple Jasper but also used a lot of other elements. Hopefully this week I’ll get to make a 10mm 108ct Purple Jasper Mala that utilizes a Flat Knot. This means all 108 beads will need to be re-drilled to accommodate the 1.5mm cord. I think it will look spectacular though.
I went and sat on Sunday with the Arizona International Buddhist Meditation Center. Two 30 minute (I think…) sitting sessions and one 10 minute Kinyin session. The weather outside for the walking was amazing.
