Joe or Josephine has Flown to Mexico
So what exciting things happened in your world over the weekend? Brian woke me up at 1:30am to let me know the chrysalis in the bathroom was going to pop...and around 5:00am it did...I have pics, but can't find the memory stick with them, so I'll post later...It was fascinating to see the butterfly thru the transparent chrysalis, and see all the wings and body inside...After a few hours of letting it get warmed up, and letting the outdoors warm up, he took the entire yard art outside so nature could take over...the sun came out, we put butterfly plants near the butterfly and hoped for the best...After coming back from lunch, she (or he) was gone...I hope she's halfway to Mexico and not hanging around in this cold weather...butterflies are smart, right?
I've pulled some new rods and have some new beads planned...Time to get back to work...
I leave on the 14th to go see Kate McKinnon and Anne Mitchell for some serious PMC assistance...remember how much I cannot handle PMC? I'm expecting to be skilled and brilliant when I return...Are any of ya'll going this month? Will I see you there? Gail?? I heard Andrea G was there last month and I missed her...but I see that she and Kate are going to be doing some collaborative projects...groovy!
Brian has been selling some of his Star Wars toys, and last night he made nearly $800 on them...just little plastic toys that apparently are rather popular...one figure went for over $300...good grief...It was fun to watch the price keep going up and up, though...
I'm working on a new scarf project that I started yesterday...its a 'mystery ball' of thread that you just knit and it creates a really neato scarf..I'll get some pics so you can see the premise...I'm enjoying discovering what the next thread might be, and each one is only about 10 yards, so you don't get too bored before the next comes along...
Back with more chickies...

Hey Donna,
What did you think about my comments for curly hair?
I look forward to your comments about Kate and Anne since I'm attending their workshop in Pacific Grove in January.

Maxiglide! I LOVE it! I have a CHI flat iron that I've been using for a few years now and its fantastic...I use it in the winter, but in the summer when its so hot and humid, the idea of blow drying my hair and then using the iron is so much heat that I don't do it very often...I took it with me to Italy and nearly fried my bangs completely off when the converter didn't keep the electricity from overheating the tool..the plastic holding the plates in has melted, but the thing still works...I DO like the option of wearing curls or going flat, but its so time intensive for me that I just don't have the time or energy to deal with it..and my hair in Germany - oh man, it was a NIGHTMARE..I didn't take the iron and had no hair dryer - just wild and curly hair all over the place..I looked like I just woke up every day, my hair was so skewed...I just ignored it and pretended it was long flowing Christie Brinkley hair...sigh...but now its straight and I'm happy for awhile...
