Who wants to go to Germany with me?
Its been a long time in the works, and now it looks like it's going to happen - I've been invited to teach in Hamburg Germany...and I'll be there in September...The tickets have been booked and I've marked the days on my calendar with big red marker...So all you overseas kids, if you're interested in coming to see me in Hamburg, lemme know and I'll put you in contact with the studio...I'm excited about getting the opportunity to travel there to teach, its not something I expected, but I'm gonna go and have fun!!! When they asked me last year to come over, I had to ask them 'are you sure? you want me?' but they said 'yes, we know what we're doing' and I said 'ok, as long as you are sure'...I'm nervous but excited...wow...awesome...
We're doing another movie feast - this one for Pirates of the Caribbean...July 12...yum!
So, last night the owner of the stray kitty rounded her up (at 10:00pm mind you) and took her home...Brian was outside and saw it happen and he was mad, but I told him that she wont be mean to the cat, her meanness comes from her neglect, so just be patient...sure enough, before 8:00am this morning the cat was back across the street, waiting for breakfast...I haven't gone over, I figure i'll wait until later when I won't have a confrontation with them...the cat deserves food at least, and now she knows where to get it on a regular basis...the house is for sale and some prospective buyers were looking at it yesterday and they gave the cat affection, so maybe they'll buy the house and take care of the cat...I can hope, right??
I feel like working today...just melting stuff and going nuts...maybe hammering some silver...lets see what today brings...I can hear Cardinals outside the window and the gulf fritilary butterflies are hatching every day...the passionvine is practically taking over the back of the house - so different from last year when we planted it and I was hand picking the caterpillars off it, so they wouldn't strip it from all the leaves...now, nature has taken over and i don't have to hand pick them at all...balance has been achieved...its all good...

I'm already signed up!!!!! Can't wait till September! Looking forward to meeting you in person. Have been at the torch almost every day practicing. I found out about your class through a German Lampworker. I knew your site already (have had it in Favorites for awhile now) and when I asked several months ago the classes were almost full.
Anyway looking forward to the class!
Cheers,
Diana
