OK, I'm back, anything going on?

other than spam (and, thank goodness, Tidbits)?

Having been to the mainland for about a week and a half, our
daughter graduated from college (BA in English), I came back
with some lampwork beads from lampworkers who have never
been on r.c.b for all I know (and some fewer of the ones I made),
some slump molds for fusing, and got quite a bit further with the
adjustable Hothead mount I've been working on with a LampworkEtc.
friend remotely for a while - we finally managed to get this
sketched up on paper, but we had pretty much the same
ideas anyway -.

Where is everybody and what is everybody up to?
Shirley, how are you doing?

Aloha,
Maren

Nice to know you have had a good time and got some nice goodies.

I am still plodding along but not achieving much.

Just cannot get any interest up for any crafts.

I am to be a Great Grandmother and thought I would make some baby
clothes but the crochet hook and knitting needles are idle . I started
them but not continued.
I shall probably go out and buy some ready made.
It seems as if my get up and go as got up and went.

Hugs
Shirley

Hi there!
Good to see you both, Maren and Shirley!
I've been away a while, I've gone back to school at our local
community college. I'm taking all sorts of computer design classes
like Photoshop and Illustrator, and InDesign for book layout and
Dreamweaver for websites. Plus two courses in ceramics so far and I'm
signed up for part 3 this fall, plus jewelry/metalworking! As you
might have guessed, I'm managing to get some ceramic beads made, and
hundreds of small faces for beading around. My friend Laura has
managed to finish up several beaded dolls and necklaces using them,
but I've still got my projects in piles. This week we are having the
annual Dyeing Days at my house and we got Day1 done with all the
mixing and showing the newbies how, in an hour or so more dyeing and
rinsing will commence. 45 colors and LOTS of colorful results by the
end of the week. This year I'm mostly doing tshirts for sale, cloth
for making Spirit Dolls and some jackets for me. I'm going to be doing
more shows, so its time for a couple of new show outfits.

big hugs to you!! and I'll be back more often now that I have a
convenient way to reach the group through my igoogle page.

Good to "see" you here.
as you probably realised there only seems to be Maren and myself here.
I was having a look at the hands you sent me the other day.

I have been too ill this year and not been doing any crafts at all.
Just doing my family history.
Hugs
Shirley
