First Day

Today is the first day of what may or may not be a good thing. I'm going to perhaps start writing here...rather than all over the place.

As of this moment - well, not THIS particular moment, but you get the idea - I'm working on making needlefelted dog heads (ornaments/rearview mirror hangers/etc.) to sell at the WAG trials on July 10, 11, & 12th. I'm hoping to raise money for my trip to Spokane for one of three class reunions I have this Summer. I'm really looking forward to it too!

Also, my birthday is coming up, but I've been so busy with; making two banners for Nye Beach Merchants Association; dog heads; helping out around M & L's house; and trying to finish the design for the new painting on the car, I haven't had time to get my head around the fact that I'm going to be 38!!!

Weird. If you know me, you know I don't EVER forget to remind everyone about my upcoming birthday!!!

Louise and Mom are up in Portland as I write this. Louise is probably on the cutting table right now getting her new knee! She got the first one done two 1/2 years ago, and it's time for the second one to be replaced. I give her a hard time about how she'll have to start running marathons now...but she IS looking forward to getting more done in the garden. I don't know how much more you can do to this gorgeous place, but I don't have anything to do with gardening, so I don't know.
Well, I guess that's about it so far! I should be getting off the computer and start working on some heads. I think I'll do a boxer first...or maybe a cavalier king charles...they're pretty darned cute.

Sad News - Unhappy feelings

On Tuesday, February 2nd, my dog was put to sleep. She meant a lot to me, and I don't think it was her time. I don't know who reads this blog, if anyone, so I'm going to vent here. If I hurt your feelings, I'm sorry, but I'm pretty emotional about it. Uta just turned 15 in October 2009, and she was old, yes...but was it her time? Absolutely not. This video was taken just about 45 minutes before she was taken to the vet. Sure she was old, but she still liked to go out and wander around, walking with the cat, smelling all the things, etc. Boots used to go with us on our walks....no matter how short or long they were. I wasn't allowed to go with Uta to the vet. I had to say goodbye to my dog (technically my Moms dog, but Uta and I knew better) before they left. Mom said "I can't deal with YOU AND Uta AND me in the room!" What a load. I felt like I had let Uta down by not being there to let her know I wasn't abandoning her. Mom and Louise

Wednesday again...

It's wednesday again....and I'm supposed to be going to sleep in a few hours (around 1pm) to get ready for this week's shifts... It's always difficult to get a full 8 hours on my "monday"...but I try. Tonight's work - not work-related - will be putting the background and design touches onto the "rough sketch" for the new painting on the car. I'm hoping to have it done by July 29th - before I go to Spokane. If I don't, I'm not going to stress about it. I still have a huge list of other projects I have to work on - namely an ELEPHANT that will be finished by the time I travel to Seattle in the middle of September. I hope all's well with everyone [reading this], and enjoy the sunny day! :o)en
