Powerful video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ervaMPt4Ha0  I’m sure there’s a better way to put this on here but I don’t know what it is.  This video is done by a 16 year old girl and is amazingly powerful. 
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  Even considering, I did.  Don made the entire dinner and it was delicious!  He made turkey, [...]

Holy sh*t

Boy I really wasn’t expecting this.  I can barely walk I hurt so much.  My left leg and hip are unreal.  I called the doctor and they ordered some steroids for me.  I can’t wait until they kick in.  Poor Don is really having to put up with me.  He’s such a good guy.  I [...]

Flutterbys

Oh boy…by butterflies have butterflies.  I know tomorrow is going to be OK but I hate, hate, hate anesthesia.  Did I mention that I hate anesthesia?  I’ll be a lot happier this time tomorrow. 
I’ve brought everything I can think of up to the second floor.  I’m not supposed to do stairs for two weeks.  I’ll [...]

Jumprings

Jumprings, jumprings, jumprings…I’m trying to get them wound and cut before surgery on Monday.  I think I wound about 35 troy ounces of silver.  That’s a shitload of rings.  I hope I get some amazing chainmaille done with all this.  It’s fun to do but my thumb really hurts.  Sheesh.  Now tomorrow I have to [...]

The Divine Ms. Nuts

My little Nutmeg is a very special kitty.  Don found her at 6 weeks sitting on a sidewalk almost dead.  She was a ball of flea poop and infected eyes.  We got rid of the fleas and the infection in her eyes and she’s done quite well for herself.  In fact, she seems to have [...]

Goin’ to the Dark Side…

No, I’m not doing that.  LOL  I do hot glass.  I LOVE hot glass.  There are very few things I love doing more than hot glass.  But I do ’soft’ glass and have hundreds and hundreds of pounds of soft glass rods.  There’s another kind of glass called, surprisingly enough, ‘hard’ glass   or borosilicate [...]

Great day

We had so much fun yesterday.  We started at Blue Fire Beads about 1000 with Gwendolyn from Children’s Memorial Hospital there to tell us about Beads of Courage.  I had to walk out pretty much as soon as she started.  Someone else followed me pretty quickly and I think almost everyone had a few tears [...]

Scary things

Turn your mind away from things which are not permanent. – Buddha
 This needs to be my mantra for the next few weeks.  I finally broke down and decided to have my back surgery and I’m not a happy camper.  I know it has to be done but I’d rather just wake up and have it [...]

Chainmaille

I am absolutely in love with chainmaille.  I even bought my own jump ring maker.  Once I wasn’t scared of it, it was great.    I could get muscles from winding those rings.  I have to do a ton of them for my classes in Jan and Feb.
I’m having back surgery Thanksgiving week and [...]

Another coyote

This little guy is about the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.  I will enjoy (I hope) following the story of his life.  Gotta love the cat involved in this, too.  LOL  I hope you love this as much as I did.
