I worked a long day at the shop today and it was a terrifically busy day! I had a customer say that I just radiated sweetness and that she could tell how much I loved my shop, what I was doing and the people I was helping. I have had many people say things about me; not always the most flattering but this comment and the sincerity in which it was given and meant just made me feel so dang pleased! Yowzer - I do LOVE what I am doing!!!

Projects from Sunday

A doll made with wool felt, beads and yarn. I am thinking of teaching a class at the shop on these beginning techniques and making a doll class for grownups!
These are the three bracelets I've done this afternoon. Three amigos? Anyhow, jade and amber together are rumored to bring you both prosperity and health. Hope so!

This is a close up shot of the bracelets I made this afternoon using baltic amber, jade, a bit of czech glass and vintage bakelite dice. I love the mixture of color, texture, age and the addition of one of my sterling charms.

Saturday, September 27

It was a beautiful day that finally appeared at about one o' clock today and the film festival attendees loved it! The warm day with clear skies made the outdoor film festival venue a really nice event! I love a pretty day in PT! I especially love the smell of salt in the air and the light breeze that skips on the water. Here is a picture to share of PT that will help you see what I mean. xo, Lois

Oops! The Time Has Flown!

Fall is my most favorite time of the year! I love the crispness of the air on my morning walks, the coloring of the leaves, the die back of some of the brush even the puff balls of the dandelions in my yard. I have managed, however to catch a cold! Two days spent lazing around so far at home. I hate feeling confined in the house. I don't even feel like working in the studio!

Now you may be wondering why I am writing on my blog when I really have nothing of earth shaking consequences to say and no FABULOUS pictures to post ... it is because Whit said if I did not write I would have a " dead " blog! So here you go Whit, I wrote, you read, it is done! HAHAHAHA - Lois

It Can Not be 5 Days Since I Wrote Here!

Here is a photo of my poor put upon Regina who had to sleep on her pushed up much too small bed. Poor baby! We had to vacuum around it so it ended up bunched in a pile but she just HAD to sleep on it!
It feels like fall here finally! The misting rain continued all day and the fog neverdid lift. Ahhh .... I can feel recharged here and now! This will need to be ashort entry as I am so tired I can not hold open my eyes! I swear more info tomorrow! G'night, Lois

Politics! Here we have a party that has run the country literally into the ground and still people think John McCain and his vice presidential candidate ( I can not EVEN write her name let alone say it ) are worth voting for! I promised myself, half heartedly, that I would not mention politics on my blog but I can not stand by and watch the country continue into the meltdown that we are experiencing today! Here we have the border patrol stopping citizens on the streets of PT and asking to search their belongings or asking for ID and people comply and say that this policy is protecting us from terrorism! Has no one heard of the 4th ammendment? Illegal search and seizure without warrents. And what has our illustrious border patrol done for us in all the money they have spent in the last month? They caught 13 illegal immigrants, one of them a 15 year old high school football hero and smart ( ! ) kid and 2 people on bench warrants ( DUI ). Boy ! Do I feel safer!

Honestly, I will try to limit my tirades here and practice what I preach. Take a deep breath, and practice hope..... Lois

Well, I am missing my regular evening calls from Andrea while she is off in Italy so I thought I'd post a picture of a mirror I painted up for her and Whit for a Christmas. She'll be home after the 16th....
