Guess what I'm listening to.
Nope, not some cool band or whipping winds or pounding rain. Nope. I'm listening to the slush and tumble of a rock tumbler.
My sister gave the boys a rock tumbler.
Do you know that it will take approximately 22 days for the rocks to become smooth semi-precious gemstones?
Yup. 22 days.
How much you wanna bet they get bored with this while waiting those 22 days.
I might like it. It came with little jewelry thingies that I could maybe kinda do something with.
If I like it well enough and can actually pull off a decent pair of earrings, I may have found a hobby.
Other than blogging of course.
I mean, I don't knit or crochet or bake a whole lot. I do bake but it's not like a major hobby cuz my kitchen is as small as ships galley.
I read but that's not a hobby.
I could get into jewelry making.
But 22 days to wait for the rocks to finish out?
I'll let you know how this goes.

It should be interesting if it doesn't drive me nuts first.

Never heard of a rock tumbler... sounds interesting - is there anywhere you can put the thing so that you don't hear it as loudly?

No....lol I wish there was a room no one went into but I guess I'll just deal with the noise.

We used to have a rock tumbler when we were kids. (1970s) It took forever and was really noisy. It didn't work as well as the box showed, is all that I can remember. I don't think we had it very long because my mom was annoyed by the noise. I think that I may have made a PET ROCK with it, though.
