Those wacky wheels...
I started making beads yesterday and the first 5 I made I hated...so I changed direction slightly and now that I've pulled the loot from the kiln, i really LIKE how they all came out...much better...sometimes when the wheels fall off, ya just gotta put them back on and keep riding...Am I using bike analogies because I have my LiveStrong shirt and bracelet on this morning? The Tour starts in a few short weeks, and although LA isn't riding, I'm still gonna be up early every morning to watch the rides...you can't watch the thing for 7 years and not get to know the playas and the game...its gonna be interesting...Ivan Basso just won the Giro d'Italia a few days ago, so will he be exhausted or pumped and ready to ride 3 weeks in France? He's at the prime of his physical strength, I hope he can handle the stress this soon from the last race...it takes weeks/months to recover from these long races...so it'll be interesting...
I don't have anything new to show today, the beads that I took home and cleaned/strung are going with me to B&B (yes Gail, I'm lookin' at you!)...and the stuff I made yesterday is here at the shop waiting to be removed from the mandrels, cleaned and strung...I'm not sure I'll have anything to post before I leave next week, but ya never know...I wouldn't be surprised if something else gets posted between now and then...I'll be shipping all the bracelets tonight, i tried to do it this morning, but my power cable to the computer was here at the shop and my battery was running low...so tonight they'll get labeled and mailed...
Is it June really? I'm just in a blur right now, I'm back in 'real job mode' where I get up, get a shower, go to BlueMoon, work all day, then go home and deal w/ the house...days go fast like this...I miss the house and doing chores there when I can instead of cramming it all into the evening or mornings...but, I will say, its been FUN coming here and a good creative boost for me, so I'm not complaining...its just been a different course, probably something I needed to shake up my monotony I suppose...EAch day Jim and Rose show me the new beads Jim has made, and I show them what I made...its fun to have people to share energy with...I might have to come down here and hang out more often...just to mix things up and keep them interesting...
