I've been down, but not hiding...
Yes, I've been sad and movin' kinda slow, but when I am in the mood, I've been getting a few projects completed...The Fuzzy FlipFlops were very easy - $2.50 sandals from Target, 5yds per shoe of eyelash yarn, and then I just used a blanket stitch to wrap each one...no knitting or crocheting...My buddy Mandy sent me the jazzy bright ones - she did it 'properly' and it really makes a difference - hers are thick and fluffy, mine are kinda thin...but considering how hard I am on shoes, I'll probably tear mine up anyway, so no biggie...I can make matching bracelets for each pair of shoes too...kinda groovy eh? This is what one evening of watching Napoleon Dynamite will getcha - lotsa finished flip flops...
And the other thing I finally did was to make a few little lentils using a new techique I learned way back in February, but only now got around to playing with...I called them 'Ancients' cause they look like the kinds of beads you'd see in a museum exhibit in the Egyptian wing...like aged copper when it gets that cool green patina on it, these look old...I like both sides of the beads, so you can see the green...They'll be going up on eBAy tonight and will be a 5 day auction...My thought was - if I tried to offer a special here, you might be angry if you missed it..this way, I will just make angry the ones out there who hate when I put stuff on eBay...see...always thinking...{tap tap on my head}...
Its been 101 here today...I've been giving all the trees a good drink, when they start to wilt, you know its hot...It ought to be about 85 in May, not 101...I hope this isn't the start of a very long hot summer...boo...
I plan to build a little page with Dexter pics as well as all the other kitties or creatures that live with us (maybe a few bird and squirrel pics, since they keep us entertained as well)...Will letcha know when that's ready...

Hi sug, I just stopped by to see how you getting along in the big wide world.
I usually stop to gawk and stalk beads but that's just not important right now.
However, the fuzzy footwear is very fetching!
I lost my furbaby just before this Christmas, I still have her litter mate sister, she gets carried around constantly now. And since they were nearly identical in markings it makes it hard not to think about the one gone.
