Sunday Sunday...its not Monday...
We ran errands most of yesterday so I didn't get much done at the house, but today is a quiet Sunday and I plan on melting some glass..the filter is changed on the generator, and I've moved a box that had been put in front of the air-intake slots, so I think it should work better now...
Lady and I went out for a walk, it went MUCH better than in the past...she works very well on her pinch collar, and I took her favorite treat with me and rewarded her for sitting when I stopped moving...she's in the studio with me today while Brian cleans the main part of the house (what a sweet deal - I get to make beads while he cleans the house - how can you beat that???)...
We also put up a dog gate in the hallway and the cats got a good look at her, but didn't seem too phased, which is good..she was great, she didn't bark or try to chase or scare the cats...in fact, Clem kept coming up to the gate, seemingly oblivious to this giant black thing in her face...but she used to live with a large chocolate lab years ago, so she's used to dogs...I'm most worried about her cause she's the only 'unarmed' cat in the house...She has still claimed the dog bed as her 'fort' (Fort Clem we call it) and I can't wait till she and Lady start sleeping together there...its rather a hoot...We'll do some more introducing today - Bagheera saw Lady through the door and didn't hiss or freak out like he's been doing..he will definitely be Top Cat in the house, we already know that...he actually chases Lady to try and scare her out of the yard...he's a very strong cat...
And what else..Oh - I have some new things to show you, the finished pieces I have and the viking knitting I learned to do...back in a minute...Barefoot Contessa is cooking on the TV right now, she's so cute...

Donna, the Viking knitting sounds interesting. I have used wire to do bead crochet however this sounds different from regular knitting. Do you have a good resource for instruction? I see there is a book called Knitting with Wire but thought you might have some others. What gauge of wire did you use and do you need special tools? Thanks and enjoy!
