Why does it take me so long...
to get caught up from a trip? Well, a lot of things have been going on here, as I knew they would...this Fall has been non-stop classes (teaching and taking), shows, and commitments...I'm almost done, but I'm still in the middle of the storm...Yesterday Mick and I restrung, priced and cleaned the beads that I have available for the trunk show this weekend (Amelie helped by tossing beads around and grabbing leather cording - she likes to be in the middle of everything)...today I hope to get some more made, as well as some for ya'll...the show is Fri night (by invite only) then all day Sat and Sun...so that'll take me out of the loop for the weekend...
I'm also doing an all day demo on Sunday Nov 21 at BlueMoon's annual holiday show...I like to do these demos cause its fun and I get to stay inside, out of the cold wind and rain that has shown up in the past years...and in the Spring, when its hot and icky out, I get to stay inside with the A/C and demo...so its a good gig...I don't sell anything, but I have a great day just playing at the torch, and showing off- something I don't usually do...
Tara asked how the kitties are - Brian took them to the vet today to get their first round of shots and find out why their poop is stinky and soft...i'm thinking maybe a parasite - we have them on dry food, so it should not be soft, and B says it stinks to high heaven (I don't have a sense of smell, and in times like this it comes in handy)...The vet techs told Brian this morning that the white kitty is definitely a boy, but the orange kitty is a rare female - most of the time orange tabbies are male, the way most calicos are females...but this one is a female and worth more...I dunno how serious they are about taking her, but I'd be glad to have a good home for them...Another girl is interested - but she just lost her kitty to coyotes (West Austin is wilderness and folks keep building homes out there and stirring up the coyotes) and I'd be afraid she'd let these guys out...so whaddya gonna do...?
I'm looking into a calendar - i know Kinkos does them too...I found a place last night that would make a 'small' run for 1600.00...heh...i'll keep looking...
My new laptop was scheduled to ship next Monday, but we just got an email saying it shipped yesterday, a full 5 days ahead of schedule...so I might have it tomorrow or Monday...and i'll be able to answer emails at my desk, or in the living room instead of being tied down to this computer as I am now...hopefully I'll be able to get caught up quicker now...

DONNA,
JUST BLAME IT ON THE CAT AND NEW KITTENS.
THEY WON'T TELL ANYONE.
THEY LOVE TO TAKE THE BLAME.

Donna I love your itty bitty beads! I knew you would make them perfectly!
OK, my opinion on giving a kitty to the girl who lost her kitties to coyotes, PLEASE don't give her a kitty!!!! Unless she is willing to keep them ONLY as indoor kitties (if young kitties are raised indoors then it isn't too difficult to keep them inside. I have lots of info on having happy, safe, healthy indoor kitties if you want info.)
Big hugs to you Donna! :)
