Hi All, I just re-joined after spending the Fall and Winter (and here it is almost Spring), selling my farm, looking for a new farm, packing, moving and now we're in a new farm in the 'Snow Belt' (I know a glutton for punishment), in Perry NY. The good news is that I'm closer to my friends and clients, closer to Toronto, and the people are wonderful! I'm hoping soon to get going again on my jewelry. I did manage Benoit, to use the torch I bought from you. I soldered all the new copper pipes in the basement for the hot water line to the barn for the horses--I only had one leak out of 8 joins, but got it right on the second go around. Now to be actually able to use it for jewelry. Hah. I've really missed Orchid and especially Tyler's great posts. Cheers !Dinah.; http://www.capriciouscrowns.com Capricious Crowns and Jewels
