I am ...




Monday I had mt carpets finally cleaned.
This meant rising earlier to move furniture and stuff out of the way.
Then last night walking around in stunning blue booties,
while moving a box of beads to a fold-out table, the fold-out 
part collapsed and beads were everywhere on damp carpet. 


Organized in a sectioned cardboard chest. it fell upside down.

 
Dividers within the chest camp apart, 
it was all I could do to get it all up and onto my desk. 


Today I am fixing and sorting. Sort of a meditative process?
Better than the stack of things in all the wrong places.



Want to come over and help? 
We could deem it an essential need, and wear masks?



 But I remind myself, I have time. Lots of time.

 


The joys of Zoom! Have you been on Zoom? So cool!
I had a 9:30 meeting with the Eastside ladies. We had five.
Missing Jeri, Josie, and Jody this time. 
 
Libby, our leader.

WonderWoman also had a morning real estate zoom meeting.
She sent me a photo of her zoom watching buddies.

Lisa Plummer from Indiana filmed this adorable video of her 5-month-old beagle Bo and her cat Jasper last Thursday, here.






Smiles for Wednesday ...

Second Wednesday means Eastside!
A group of eight artists who meets once a month to make art,
hear news, have important discussions, and eat.
Today we were four, really missing Erin, Norma, Libby & Josie.
Our host Jody, is in her new home and it's gorgeous.


























A home full of treasures, I zeroed in on the beautiful giant beads?
But that was the theme for the day.




And the view!
Jody made a delicious brunch of quiche, potatoes,
strawberries, peaches with yogurt, tea and coffee.
Jody's project for us was a stretchy bead bracelet,
with a soldered charm on copper. She had samples.

Three had jewelry experience, so I had great teachers to help me.
I learned to prep the copper for soldering, use flux, 
and ... I didn't get burned.




 I made two bracelets, the first one took two and a half hours.
The second took just under an hour. Learning curve?




 Thank you Jody, Linda & Sherrill for you patience.
Thank you Jody for sharing your new home.
