Tumbling Tumbleweeds
BEADS ALERT: There are beads cookin' in the kiln and beads ready to be photographed...but I have a 9:00am appt Fri morning, so I won't be posting beads until I get back...I'll letchanow when to expect them, but I didn't want you doing the 'refresh game' all morning in anticipation...see ya'll tomorrow with some fresh skididdle...
Good news on the tumbler front...Brian found the tumbler motor last night, in a box that I had previously opened but not gone thru recently...so I quickly tumbled a load of silver, old and new...and it works great...now all I have to do is uncover the bead release...my philosophy is - if you can't find it, buy another one and when it shows up, you have two! It works for light bulbs and batteries, but since this bead release lasts so long, another tub would take me thru 2011...maybe I'll just keep looking...
More good news - I'm very happy with the beads I made yesterday, and have plans for more today...Its nice when I have a plan and can work from it...the making of the beads isn't the problem the inspiration for a groovy style is...I hope ya'll like them too...
I'm having trouble finding a good place for the cat food where the dog won't eat it..every time I turn around, the dog has emptied the cat food bowl...its not that she's hungry, she has food, but cat food tastes better than dog food (I guess)...So now I've got a bowl in my studio and a bowl upstairs...she hasn't come up the stairs since we moved in (they are hard wood and a bit narrow) so I don't expect her to come up anytime soon...and look, there's Abby eating from the bowl already...I think this might just work..
It was massively windy yesterday, 40 and 50mph gusts...our umbrella and table were knocked over and are scattered in the yard...I have some work to do before I can shoot any pics...power was out in Austin yesterday, our power blinked a few times, but we never lost it...I'm grateful for that...
Good Job to Emmit for winning the dance contest...I don't watch the show, but knew he was competing and hoped he'd do well...Fancy shoes!

Just so you know, cats can eat dog food, but dogs should not eat cat food. My pug got kidney stones and had to have surgery. My vet said it was most likely from the cat food she was stealing out of their bowl.I put the cat food on a shoe rack (white melamine) you can get them I'm sure at your new IKEA. It's big enough for the cats to stand and eat on but the dog can't reach.At least mine can't because she is a pug and has short legs. Guess it depends on what kind of dog you have.Good luck!
