Send it to me, baby...
This morning is 'massive shipping' morning...I don't mind it so much, its a good way to listen to HGTV in the background and talk to the cats who like to come upstairs and hide behind the boxes...
Yesterday I found one of our friendly tree squirrels dead at the bottom of our big pecan tree...I dunno what happened, I assumed the dog got him, but there was no trauma to his body...well, it looked like his back legs were askew from his front, so he mighta fallen and broken his back...but it did not look like a dog got a hold of him at all...so I dunno, but I picked him up (using garden tools, we have a small shovel that we've designated the 'dead animal' shovel because we'd use it to clean up the animals that Bagheera left for us - birds, possums, mice, etc)...When I was scooping him up, a giant flock of birds that were in the tree making loads of noise all suddenly stopped - as if they knew I was dinking around w/ a member of their nature world...very spooky...
They are knitting jewelry on Knitty Gritty right now...funky...I'm much further on my second clog, its amazing how fast they go once you know your way around the pattern...I'm almost to the cuff after just a few hours...I'm contemplating learning how to do socks next, but I don't wear socks, so I dunno...I think they'd be fast and fun to make, but if I'm not gonna wear/use it, I hate to spend time making it and having it sit in a drawer forever...I think I need to keep making totes and bags, I DO use those..you should SEE my collection of tote bags (that I've both made and bought)...I'm contemplating how to make vinyl tote bags, they are faster than knitting them, and can be colorful and you can cut out designs in the vinyl...I found a rug hooked tote that I like, but its $300 and I'm not sure I'm ready to splurge on it...so its still in the store...and so it goes...
I saw some of those bended beads that I made and sent to BlueMoon for bending - one of the shop employees made the into jewerly and they look great...I need to get more of those things made..they were a good experiment, tho, apparently the re-heating to shape them affect any reduction already on the bead and takes away from the shine...i need to keep that in mind when I make my next batch...I know ya'll are interested in them, so lemme see what I can do...groovin'...

Hi Donna- About a month ago, I had to call animal rescue because a squirrel fell out of a tree (from about the height of the roof of a 2 story house) right in front of me, in our front yard. I thought it was dead but went closer for a better look and it was still breathing, poor thing. I thought it was going to be OK when it started moving its legs but when I went to put in in a box with a neighbor we saw it was in pretty rough shape. By then, animal rescue was already on their way. I'm sure they ended up euthanizing the poor thing....I was so sorry to see it suffering. :(
