Underground works
I'm pretty happy with my results from yesterday...it was a long, stretched out day, with interruptions here and there, and of course breaks for lunch and chasing kitties in the yard, but for the most part, I made my first bead before 11:00am and I got quite a bit done..nearly my entire mandrel stock was spent (I have over 70 mandrels dipped and ready to go at any time)...today I have a similar goal, only I don't have to make as many beads...I have a quota and I'm nearly there, so I'll adjust accordingly...the bigger trick will be taking the time to string everything up...I'll prob do that Monday and Tuesday before I leave town...
I remember years ago my boss telling me her kid had eaten all the marshmallows out of her Lucky Charms box, and now all she's left with are the oat bits, and she cries at breakfast cause she doesn't want to be stuck with eating only those...but that was her 'punishment' for eating all the sweets first...(makes sense to me!)...This morning I had a reminder of that scenario when I found small tin of sardines in my cupboard that I bought for the cats as a treat, and to help keep their coats shiny smooth and their insides happy...so, I opened the tin, the cats went bonkers as I was doling out the bits into each little dish for them (no fighting)...after a few minutes, they were all scattered around the kitchen, laying out and cleaning themselves...when I looked at the dishes, the fish were still there - they had just licked all the oils out...bah...so I put all the leftovers in a container and gave them to Jack and Chloe on the front porch..something tells me they've never had sardines before and will be much more appreciative...I'll go check on it in a few minutes and see how much they've put away...
