All Andrea, All The Time...

Tonight..7:00pm...ABC...
Yesterday was one of those days - it starts innocently enough, and ends around 11:00pm after a whirlwind...Andrea Guarino was in town over the weekend, teaching at Bluemoon and I wanted to go see her Sunday night, but felt like I was crashing the party, so I didn't go...well, yesterday around lunchtime I got a call that I'd better get over there, so off I went...I took some show and tell (not stuff that's quite ready to be shown to the general public, so I kinda snuck it in for her to view) and spent lunch visiting with her and Letha...I even snagged yet another bead from her, a very cool one that I'll show ya'll...Then last night she did a demonstration for the local Austin bead group...
so I attended that from 7-9pm...then a big group of us relocated to EZ's for burgers and fries and by the time I got home, it was 11:00pm...There are some really fun beadmakers here in Austin, we were having a blast at dinner hanging out and telling funny stories...we're trying to get Letha talked into attending B&B this year (registration is January)and Mick collected a bunch of names of possible teachers for Bluemoon to bring in to teach in the next couple of years...I'd really like to take a beginning boro class, I think that's the next thing I'd like to learn, although I'm also contemplating Loren II (Brian asks me at least once a week when I'm going to go see Loren)...So you know what this means for you - nothing...I got nothing done, well, I did go get another dremel tool (on sale for 6.99!) but other than that, bup...so this morning the kiln is firing up and I'll be getting down to REAL work..something I can show and sell to ya'll, my patient customers who are the best folks in the world...what colors are you ready for? are you sick of cold weather already? It was 29 when I was stopped in the parking lot last night and had to discuss some new business ventures with a friend - remember I wear sandals and summer clothes all year - I think some of my toes snapped off while I stood there freezing...I crawled into the covers and thawed, tho...Amelie and Clarice held the covers down to keep me warm...such good fat cats...

you made some rockin' beads, Anne! Mick is going to be obsessing at my house the next time she comes over - 'do you really thing Michael Barley told Andrea that I'm loud?'...I can hear her now, worrying about it...of COURSE he did! ha...

I was there and can confirm that Mick was on her best behavior!! But you're right, she'll worry!!!We had dinner Friday night with Michael and told him all about South by Southwest... He's very interested in returning to Austin for the event, and I'll bet wouldn't mind teaching a class or two...
Sorry I missed out on all the fun with Andrea, but kids and school nights and all...
Love the bowl, the earrings and all the other stuff!!
