Dallas

I have been home for five days now. I am still not on my schedule nor have I done anything useful. I am busy with the Girl Scouts. I delivered Troop 7660's pendants to them today. I have another program in Paola Monday.
My trip was uneventful. I loved being with Mel and the boys. I missed them before I was on the plane.
Penny and Trina were glad to see me and so was Jim, Gus and Max.

This is Sparkle! Since we don't have a cat of our own I got to make her up. After she was finished I have to admit that she reminds me of Gilenda from" Wicked". It has been a year since Tricia(my sister) was diagnosed with breast cancer and treatment began. I read "Wicked" while she was in surgery. Her mamogram came back clear last week. We are just holding our breathe that everything else is good.
I am getting ready to leave for Dallas tomorrow for 6 days. I will have oodles of pictures to show when I get back. I can't believe that I haven't seen my kids since June. I know Hudson will have grown a foot.

Well the shows are over and so is summer. My glass has gone to the gallery and I have finished Max. I have also finished some other new work, That is on my website.
I leave for Dallas on Thursday. I can't wait to see Melanie and her beautiful family.

I have been reading some of my favorite blogs this evening and I as always am intrigued by Margot Potter's latest on losing friends. I can understand this as all of our lives are so busy and when keeping up with each other becomes difficult we let go those who we don't feel share our place in life. This happens naturally in moves across the country or just across town. It also happens when we don't share the same focus as well as ideas.
Margot also mentioned that she doesn't like being hurt. Who does? I find that I do not let myself get close to people so as to not be hurt.
I don't even know if anyone reads my blog but I hope my thoughts count somewhere.

Princess Trina

This is Trina. She is our rescue Scottie. Trina was a mommy in a puppy mill. She is very shy and afraid of everything but she is my Princess.

She really deserves that Tiara.

Here is Gus- He is the Star

So much going on!

So much has happened in the last month. I had my cataract surgeries. I no longer have to wear glasses for distance. 20/20 First time in 50 years. Just reading glasses. It is a big adjustment.
Thought I would post my newest works. By the Sea, a mixed media bathing beauty.
Jasmine, Pets with Personnas, also mixed media.
I am now an approved vendor(teacher) for the Girl Scouts. I will be teaching them fused glass pendants. Busy! Busy! Busy!
