http://scottishprincessdesigns.blogspot.com/2013/01/a-ring-for-jackie.html
The musings of a Scottish Princess. Friday, 4 January 2013. A Ring For Jackie. And here is the 'before' photo. This is the piece of silver clay that I used to make the ring. it doesn't look like much does it? It looks more like a piece of chewing gum than anything related to silver but this will be transformed into a Fine Silver (99.9% silver) ring. I started to polish it inside and out using a metal burnisher to bring it to a glossy shine and here is the finished article:. Check out these web sites:.

Royal Ramblings: August 2011
http://scottishprincessdesigns.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
The musings of a Scottish Princess. Saturday, 27 August 2011. Visiting sad old ladies. Firstly, I have to apologise for not being around much lately. I started a new job a couple of weeks ago and I've hardly had time to draw breath since between one thing and another. One of those things being a diving weekend in the Sound of Mull organised by Martin at Ace Divers. So what does that have to do with sad old ladies? It took us around 3 hours to drive from central Scotland to the Lochaline Dive Centre.

The musings of a Scottish Princess. Sunday, 16 September 2012. Last year Ace Divers. Arranged a trip to the Farne Islands. We headed off early on Friday morning to the harbour in Seahouses. Northumberland in search of the "big white cat" that turned out to be the Serenity II. A lovely dive boat with a diver lift - heaven! We passed Bamburgh Castle. On the way. It looked like it could give Edinburgh Castle a run for it's money. Awesome! That's me in the bottom left corner:. This one was heading for me:.

The musings of a Scottish Princess. Thursday, 2 June 2011. Drift diving at St Abbs. A little later than intended I'm finally updating my blog. Where did the time go?

That was good news for The Boy and me because we had arranged to go scuba diving at St Abbs. On the south east coast of Scotland. We arrived early and watched the boats taking other divers out for their own adventures:. A littl...

The musings of a Scottish Princess. Monday, 18 June 2012. A day at the races. On Sunday we got up early and drove to Innerleithen.

There were more practice runs in the morning so The Boy prepared his bike and got kitted up ready for the practice. I got my shiny, clean, new wellies on ready to go and watch. The Boy, ready to go:. While w...

Royal Ramblings: February 2011
http://scottishprincessdesigns.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
The musings of a Scottish Princess. Tuesday, 1 February 2011. At last I'm a PADI Advanced Open Water diver. I would like to thank everyone at Aquatron. In Glasgow for their help and patience while I was learning all of my skills. I know I haven't been the easiest student as I'm afraid of water and have had the odd setback. We set off for Tearooms on Loch Fyne at some ungodly hour in the morning to get there for 9am. I realised when it was too late to turn back that I'd left my jacket at home. Doh! Dive 1...
