Chores and Errands...
Yesterday's class was tons of fun, everyone did great and I found some areas that I need to adjust for my upcoming trip...So overall, it helped me get ready, now if I can just get the airlines to let me take my knitting needles on the plane, I'll be happy..something tells me that ain't gonna happen...
I was up early and made the trek to Austin and watered the front yard and butterfly garden..if we give them small drinks each day, they will stay alive...the calladiums and purple fountain grass look great - they haven't died since Sunday...
I strung up two extra Autumn squeeze Zoot bracelets and will post them later...I have beads to clean and string as well, so lots to do...the roses from Sunday are still in the back of the truck, I need to get them out and get some water on them...so much to do...
Brian brought my desk in from the front porch last night, so my studio is looking more like a real work space..I have 2 tables facing one another, one for beadmaking, the other for silver work, and misc. stuff...I can setup another torch there and have friends over to play for the afternoon...the tv is hooked up to digital so I can still listen to my groovy music, and I'm getting my main kiln setup...I'm happy with it coming together...each day a little more falls into place...
An update on kitties - turns out the little striped stray that found Brian is in fact our next door neighbor's cat...we took him next door and they asked if we wanted him! But we haven't seen him since, so I'm hoping they are keeping him indoors...he's very friendly, so he's not neglected or abused at all...and the older stray in Austin who has the crappy owners is looking great...we still leave food out on our porch for her, and she's clean and looks well fed, but not fat...and all our indoor kitties are doing great, they love to run up the stairs and hang out in my office...Clemetine throws herself on her back so I'll tickle her tummy...she loves the carpet...and everyone is so clean and shiny, its really nice...Lady is loving the backyard, all her toys and sleep spot are here, and she would rather be outside than inside...now if we can only get all the stuff outta boxes, the place will look like a real house...
