Lotsa koalas here.Enjoy!
In the 80's I knew a SA at NM who sold HS there (they had a special deal with H) and she said she wore her HS at home. I didn't quite believe her but maybe she did.@eagle1002us, I’ve been a hermit as well.
I’ve been trying this new thing since the beginning of the month where I’m trying to wear at least 1 piece of jewelry a day even though I’m just at home most of the time. I do have Zoom meeting once or twice a day and I doubt people can see my jewelry but I just do it anyways. It‘s like my own little secret.
The thing about wearing hand jewelry is that you see it in daily activities.
It’s a party alright!@etoupebirkinView attachment 5058840

She probably did.
My new thing about wearing jewelry/ring lasted about 2 days. I wash my hands very frequently and normally remove my ring first so I ended up leaving my ring in the kitchen/bathroom all over the house. I’ll try wearing a bracelet today instead. Do you remove your jewelry before bed? I can’t sleep with mine on. My GF usually wears 3-4 bracelets at a time and rarely ever takes hers off. I tried keeping my Love bracelet on and gave up after 2 days.
I’m going to encourage you to wear your scarves, even with a t-shirt! They do you no good sitting in their boxes - heck they’re prolly dyin‘ to get out - and they’ll add a bit of color and joy no matter what you’re wearing.@eagle1002us, I’ve been a hermit as well.

The only jewelry I‘m wearing on a regular basis has been earrings and bracelets. Earrings because i hate seeing the piercings empty, bracelets because i like them. Rings have been ‘resting’. I am trying to start wearing them again, but 90% of the time I forget them any way. I rarely wear necklaces because, scarves are my ’necklaces’.
Thanks for the reminder, @Cookiefiend. I forgot about the scarves! I managed to wear a ring today and then proceeded to clean all the rings and earrings in my jewelry box. Now they’re nice and shiny and ready to be worn around the house. Lol. I do have some H scarves that still have their tag on. Gasp! I know sacrilege, right? There was a sale in Toronto may be 3 years ago? I went and bought some more silks and CSGMs and haven’t worn them since my ruined CSGMs incident.
Now I’m rather skittish to wear my scarves but since I’m at home it should be safe to just wear them around the house ‘working’. I’ll start tomorrow—may be my Cheval sur mon carre, my first CSGM to kick things off.

Im sorry to hear of your CSGM incident - that’s never fun! But, my thought are “Welp, that made me mad, but it’s over now and I don’t have to worry about it anymore! But, doggone it!”
(I have a preloaded Drag 2, in glorious condition. The first day I carried it, I ran into the snowblower with it. I yelled a Very Bad Word, brushed it off, and went on.)
I hope you wear your CSGM, and love every minute of it! ❤️
@eagle1002us, look what I found when I googled Koala. Graff diamonds and onyx ear clips. Didn’t realize jewelled koalas are so popular.
OMG, these are gorgeous and so cute!!! I guess they would look like the koala is clutching my ear instead of a tree trunk. You google beautiful things, @Fabfashion!
I haven't forgotten about picturing the Prince of Wales Scottish pin. It's coming this week.
I get my rings sized very tight so that when I tug on them they don't come off. SA's would complain that I get my rings sized too tight. When I was 7, I lost a ring (fortunately it was fashion jewelry, nothing valuable) when I tore off my gloves (winter). Still traumatized about that. Plus, when I lose weight some comes off my fingers. ARGGGH! so one way or the other I size and resize rings. If I have a hard time getting a ring off I wet my fingers.
I keep my rings on when washing hands. Never take them off and put them on the sink when I'm out and about. If they get a soap film I spray the ring with windex (and rinse, of course).
Don't wear rings when you're swimming. Chlorine can eat away gold, not like swiss cheese, but still. Your instinct is right: it's not supposed to be a good idea to wear jewelry when sleeping. I guess the bedding rubs against the metai.
You could always get some fabric from H or other nice source and take it to a tailor to make a pillow or whatever.
I wouldn't urge anyone to learn how to sew b/c as a rule, IMO, clothes are cheaper to buy than to make. If you're learning, you will probably focus on simple patterns, 2 or 3 main pieces. Streamlined sleek clothes are easier to buy than to fit. In contrast, knitting or crocheting can result is gorgeous hand-made sweaters or pullovers that no RTW can compete with in terms of quality and uniqueness. I crocheted a sweater (my first) quite some time ago and even tho some of the stitches were loose and big compared with sections where I had a tighter gauge
the sweater looked good. I got compliments. The sweater had a certain "presence," it was unique and obviously not machine made.
I bought some Anna Sui fabric, 4 yards, which was printed in muted sage greens and ambers. The big thing was centering the two huge flowers in the front and then again in the back. Oversized patterns are interesting to work with, I never tried them before.
Cheval sur mon carre was a hot scarf when it came out. It was different, unique. It's still different and unique. Nothing approaches the design in the scarves since CSMC.Thanks for the reminder, @Cookiefiend. I forgot about the scarves!
