Good thing I have nowhere to go..
UPDATE: A/C dude is here and he's the nicest guy...he has serviced our front a/c in the past and he loves animals...I have Lady in the front of the house, otherwise she'd attach herself to his leg and never leave the petting, but Bagheera is outside 'assisting' and making sure things run smoothly...i like this service guy, he's already found the wasp nests that I knew were in there (thank goodness they were very small), and he's not afraid of them...things are groovy...hopefully some cold air by lunchtime...
The a/c dude is coming out to service the studio a/c today - good thing I have nowhere to go cause he'll be here 'between 8am and 8pm'...well, that narrows it down now, doesn't it...
American Idol will be interesting tonight...who do you think will be punted? DialIdol gives their un-scientific prediction...we'll see...
I have the last ep of Gilmore Girls to watch today...love that show...i'm watching reruns of it at 4:00pm on ABC Family...
I did some really interesting research last night, surfing other websites and eBay auctions...it was good to see what was going on out there...the general consensus that I get is - lots of folks are using presses to make beads instead of making well executed round beads...hmmm...ok...and I noticed that when one design is popular, everyone else copies it...I saw some blatant rip offs of talented designers, which is sad...the 'big' thing now seems to be those multi-colored organics with a black and white twisty scrolling thru them, and a bit of frit on one edge - oh and etch the whole thing...I saw page after page of those things...amazing...some beadmakers make awesome sets (like Pati Walton), but then there are loads of not so hot ones that are making MORE money than the good ones...go figure...it reminds me of lemmings- 'lets all make this style of bead, oh wait now that's popular, lets all make those now!'...good grief..no wonder ya'll are looking for original stuff - its hard to find it out there when people are being copied at every turn...wow...amazing...I'm sure you must notice this trend as well...
I have a small set to post today, and more to make while waiting for a/c boy...the studio isn't too hot right now, and even when it is, i'll just sit and sweat...its not like I'm not used to it...after walking the dog its a pretty ugly scene...took me 20 min to cool off yesterday...from all the rain we've had, the ground is wet, and the heat just brings it up like a sauna...so pleasant...
