"New" to me glass..
Errand day in the big city...I exchanged my digital controller box for one that records, like TiVo, so I can record and watch shows in my studio...we ordered one way back in August, but the kid doing the install didn't bring the right one...now I'm all hooked up and ready to record my sign language show so I can study my signs...yesterday I learned "corn, carrot, bean, lettuce, strawberry and potato"...I'm tellin' ya, if I ever go to a zoo, and see a star fish and eat a strawberry, I'll be able to sign with the best of them...
And then my next stop was to deposit the Euro's a brought home with me...thanks to my wonderful students in Germany, I am able to buy the
washer and dryer AND oven for the house...we found them on Craigslist for very reasonable prices, and all are in good shape and now the house feels more like a real place to live (our old appliances were gas, and the new house is all electric)...The nicest girls helped me at the bank, they were intrigued with the Euro's and all the color and metallic strips on them...and they were very complimentary about my beads (they asked why I was in Germany, so I had to show them some beads)...I hope to talk to them again, this new bank has been so friendly and great...they even called me back when I had a question yesterday - people don't call you back anymore, but they did...awesome..
but the really exciting news for me - I hit BlueMoon and they have the Bullseye line in stock...i've never been able to see all the colors up close and personal before, so I added to my stash..lots of fall colors, new lime/olive colors, new pumpkin, new pink and purples, teals and denim...I'm really tickled to have the chance to see the colors and pick and choose...of course I wanted more, so I stopped at a 'reasonable' price...I've bought very little glass this year, mostly because I have PLENTY of what I've bought over the past 5 years, so I did my best to go slow...3 rods of any color is all I bought, just a taste...plus I do have a bit of Bullseye from previous small purchases, so I need to get that organized...I'm ready to jump in and make some small beads, and I have been feeling like encasing stuff lately...I dunno why...
