I need some quiet
Do you ever get to moving so fast, and everything is going so quickly that you just need to get somewhere quiet? I'm having one of those days...I'm looking over my email, seeing ALL the emails I have read but not responded to...and my upcoming silversmith class that I'm not ready for, and the scads of beads I want to make today and I realize I need some quiet...so i don't have on the radio or tv, and I'm just letting the sounds of the neighborhood float thru the backdoor while the cats and dog come in and out like a turnstyle at Macy's on the day after Thanksgiving...it finally feels like Fall here, and now i'm feeling more inspired to make more beads in the fall world...
we're putting up decorations this weekend, while the weather is nice and cool, and I plan to get more work done because Nancy is coming in Monday to do shipping for me, so I need to have some beads ready for her trip to be worthwhile...its all good..
Yesterday Mick and I spent the afternoon at BlueMoon Glassworks just down the street...Jim asked me to come over and try out the new Mini Carlisle CC torch that he wants to start selling...Its a neat little torch, it can get nice and hot, or achieve a pinpoint flame, its very quiet and I thought it was a nice piece of machinery..he said he found it to be an O2 hog...it doesn't hold up well with a concentrator, but w/ tanked O2 it was humming right along...I wonder what it'd do with my generator...I may have to get one and see...we had a good time, tho and I only exploded a few rods hitting Mick strategically in the face w/ hot flying glass...of course...
I tried my other Orrb press last night, the small/med/large one...the smallest orbs are tiny but thick..the med seemed nice and I never did get the largest one tried out, so that'll be today...my head started hurting at 9:30 sharp and didn't stop till I went to bed..I feel better today, tho...ready to go...
And there you are...my life in a nutshell...speaking of which, I need to go collect the acorns that are falling in my yard...
