No Monkey Claw yesterday..
I was able to make beads, although I wanted to look at them today and get an idea of what direction the color scheme was going and if I was off balance...I don't like to have 2 of one color and 15 of another color, so I need to see what I've got in the kiln...and after awhile, i forget what beads I've made, so to keep from making the same color over and over, I wait and look at them...this way I can assess and decide what to do next...I can say that I don't feel like I have enough sets, maybe 3 or 4 at best and I'd like to have more cause I think ya'll will like this color scheme...is this just me thinking outloud on my blog? Is this my internal voice coming thru...too much information perhaps? I'm just sharing my thought process on how I create my sets, so that you understand why the delays occur...so, in conclusion - no beads today, hopefully tomorrow...depending on if I get anything made this afternoon, after we get home from the movies...it might be Monday then...I'll letcha know regardless...
On a boring technical note, my Time Warner cable connection has been having problems for days...its not our house alone, we've heard from others having the same problem...it was so bad yesterday that I lost ALL connectivity to the web and email for about 3-4 hours...today most of it's back online, but I still have slow email issues (its constantly asking me for my name/password and it takes forever to download something...)...so, if you see me 'go dark' and wonder if there's anything wrong, yes...but none of us can do anything about it...I hate Time Warner, but its the only service available out here in the stix...I guess it could be worse...Jenn told me she just got off dial-up the other day and onto DSL...I cannot imagine using dialup, so I suppose I'll just deal with TWC and hope they get their junk fixed soon...
Its been sunny here the past two days...i hear there is more rain on the way, but I'll believe it when it hits the sidewalk..until then, we are out in the sun (and heat and humidity) enjoying the warmth...my garden needs to dry out...I had an exciting encounter yesterday, as I was heading to the PO Box, I stopped in the garden to look around and one of the hummingbirds flew down to my eye level, and was hovering about a foot from my face...we both looked at each other for about 7-8 seconds and he/she flew off...nature rules...
