Instead ...

I have other things to post but a friend mailed me this email on a big anti Sarah Palin rally in Anchorage and this was one of the protester's signs and today, after the debates it seems appropriate! Sorry for once again bringing in my political views but I just can not help it! Everything seems so grim right now in the US, economically speaking that this election becomes so important and I am absolutely terrified if McCain wins! Never in our history, has a current president so led to the ruin of this country!

Anyhow,everyone knows my love of crows so this sign is up my alley in more ways than one!

Here's the BIG picture! I am a bit disgusted tonight to find out that Mars candies are made in China as are most Nabisco crackers and cookies! Yuck! I try really hard to avoid purchasing items from China and then it is in my kitchen cupboard! Sheesh ...

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
