My computer had a nasty virus, that my service provider is really to blame for. At any rate that is besides the point. I lost all my pictures, so for now, until I can get more taken, you are stuck watching any cool videos I can find. This one is mining for Opals in Australia. It always amazes me what the miners go through to get some gemstone rough, pretty fascinating. The finest opals in the world come from Australia.
Change is good! I have reopened a new Etsy Pattern store, called the Pink Flamingo. I have a ton of inventory to list, and could take a while. I am looking at some other new creative endeavors that have more to do with teaching. My kids are growing up, and it is time to expand my wings. Join me in this new creative adventure!

Gemstone Mining in Africa at Aquamarine Mine
This is pretty neat. Watch how they mine for Aquamarine, at a mine in Zambia, Africa. Aquamarine is the beautiful blue gemstone, birthstone for the month of March. It is a member of the Beryl family.
