Jump start of the day
For ya'll who were asking about getting a poker of your own - I'm working with Corina to get some of the metal blanks from her (Steve makes nicer ones than me!) and I'll get some beads made and you'll have your poker...oh yes, you too can poke like a pro...maybe I'll charge extra for 'phallic-looking' beads...you'd like that, wouldn't you?
I don't watch SNL like I used to, but I hear they are becoming known for their movie skits...I loved the Chronic(what?)cles of Narnia and this Laser Cats is pretty silly too...I'm going to watch their spoof of Deal or No Deal next...hang on...
I like this chick's cat...and her knitting is interesting too!
Yes, the time change is still wreaking havoc with me, its always the hardest time of the year for me to adjust...but I'm working on it...so I woke up around 6:00am today - very unusual for me...and I'm up early with the sun...which is pretty sweet, actually...
The Easter Buffet orders are coming right along, I'm going to leave them up for today, and keep an eye on the orders, cause I'm pretty close to having enough for me to tackle...but seeing as how many of ya'll weren't here yesterday, I don't want ya to miss out...but they'll be closing soon, trust me...
We planted all three of the citrus trees in the whiskey barrels, so hopefully we won't lose them in this blistering heat...yeah, it was only 96 yesterday, not quite 97...but today is expected to be 100...woohoo! Anyway, we are winding down in our gardening, less planting, more watering...I still need to show ya'll the exciting thing that's hanging in my backyard...I looked at it closer yesterday and there is GOLD on it...man, nature rocks...we saw our first black swallowtail butterfly in the yard yesterday, she was laying eggs on the bronze fennel...there were butterflies popping outta their cocoons, six of them flitting around, drinking, eating, drying their wings...it was a good garden day yesterday...
I finished the blue bowl (the knitting part, anyway, its not felted yet), and started and finished a deep teal one last night...I'm getting better, but what's cool is - you can make a mistake and never know cause once its felted - everything is hidden...its great for n00bs like me...(n00b=newbie)...
Will my hacking cough ever go away...blah...

He he, I want one of those pokers... I have a couple of Corina's tools already, I agree that Steve is an outstanding tool maker. No comparison. And with your... err... realistic -looking bead on top...!!! Wow. I'll be waiting!
