Blessed Samhain

Image
and Happy Halloween y'all! Dressed up a little bit today: We made hats this last Saturday before Samhain rit, it was fun. Love my little crow: Have to see about hot gluing him on. He was attached with a small clip, but the clip broke. Also have let folk know I was in: Several other staff have dressed up, will have to get pics. Yesterday was our 19th wedding anniversary, the one the government acknowledges, still have the family and friends one in December to go. Spent a fairly quiet evening, easy supper and watched Top Gear and worked on more bracelets. Am also thinking chokers that I can attach some of the actuator arms to and maybe some of the lighter chip set heat sinks. Have to see about getting fasteners and a few other odds and sods.

Bracelets! Actually one bracelet at the moment. I was trying to figure out what to do with some old cat5 cables the hubby had given me, so last night I stripped off the outer layer, threaded some little sea shells onto one of the wires and then braided them together: I thought it turned out pretty nice, so I will be stripping more wire and threading on assorted beads and things to make LOTS more. I have 2 1/2 weeks until Women's Work on Nov 17th to build up a decent inventory of bracelets to add to the rest of my jewelry I will be selling that day. After Women's Work I will offer them in my Etsy shop . Can't wait for Women's Work. I will be sharing a table with a couple friends.

HOORAY!!! The smoke is gone!

It's been raining this weekend and now when I can't see the mountain it is because of the clouds. The smoke is gone and hopefully all the rain is getting to the fires still burning and helping to put them out. Pretty much a kick back, lazy weekend. Got a little bit of chores done, but mostly sat and watched movies. Finally watched the race from Talladega..... HOLY CRAP!!!!! I'd been pretty good at not finding anything about the race so I had no idea what was happening with Jr. EEPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Repeat after me "RESTRICTOR PLATES ARE EVIL!!!!!" Hope he will be okay, the races won't be the same without him in them. But at least he is going to take it easy, concussions aren't anything to sneeze at. Introduced hubby to Cheese Wiz. He'd got a hankering for cheese steaks, so we scored on a roast which I sliced super thin with the slicer. Originally decided against the Cheese Wiz (when did it get so expensive?) and I made them with sliced c

Etsy finally has an alternative to PayPal for selling, so I set up shop and now have a few of my earrings and mini light catchers posted for sale. Each is a one of a kind object and really cool to own. Right now I am only selling in the US, I am still figuring things out. Hopefully soon I will be able to sell to Canada and then world wide.

Got a little dusty last night

And by dusty I mean EEEPPP!!!!! We were in Winco after work grabbing dinner and we got a weather alert on our phones for blowing dust. We came out and there was a dust cloud heading for Moscow. By the time we turned down our lane it had not only caught up with us, but passed us: Lots of small branches and leaves down this morning. As soon as we got home hubby swung the flag pole down so it was out of harms way. Last thing we needed was to have the pole break and smash onto one of the cars.

Gack! Monday again!

REALLY had difficulty waking up this morning, one of those mornings when every nerve in my body decided to fire off at once. Makes for a not pleasant time. Had to turn the heat on, even tho we'd closed up the house and back door last night. It was COLD! Weather is showing overnight temps in the 30s this next week. Time to dig the inserts for the windows out of the shed and see about putting the AC units away. Really have to see about getting the back door replaced. We've got the door, just need to cut it to fit, put in the kitty hatch and get it into place. Had a nice visit with my mom this weekend. She headed up to Spokane this morning to meet up with my aunt. My aunt is moving back to Spokane, so they are condo shopping. I will feel LOTS better having Aunt P up here then her way down in southern California. Gorgeous moon this weekend, here is is this last Saturday night:
