Asking for a little help

This is Diaspora. I put this all up on New Year’s Day, but never finished fusing it until this morning. And I’ve run into a small problem:

I need a few more squares of the orange/orange red pieces for the lower left hand corner.

This was made with pieces a friend had left from a Melody Johnson workshop, so these are Melody’s hand dyes.

Does anyone have a piece about 1″ x 8″ somewhere in the orange/orange red/red range that they can spare? I thought I had more stuffed away in a drawer somewhere, but I can’t put my hands on it at the moment. Below is a fuzzy closeup to give a better hint of the colors I need. NOT the yellow square.. just the smaller red/orange stuff.

UPDATE: I found my stuff and have enough to finish it!

They Like It!!

Just got an email from Anne Copeland who IS Fiberarts Connection of Southern Cal. and she likes Spheres of Influence!! Wheewh!! I know she wouldn’t send it back and tell me it’s a piece of crap… but still, I had that “daydream” occasionally. Now I want to get on with more pieces!!

YES, I’m working on the next design.

Katy had some minor surgery yesterday, so I’m acting as nurse this week. She has a genetic condition that caused half her lower eyelids to roll into her eyes. The lashes would stick on her cornea, irritating things and making her eyes water all the time. So yesterday she got an eye tuck.

Fortunately, she doesn’t have a whole lot of recovery for this surgery: an e collar for a couple days, and some salve in her eyes for a week. Still, she’s awkward with the collar on, and probably a bit uncomfortable.

ToDo Tuesday: Finish Laundry (done); walk the dogs (done); continue the handwork on 4 Conversations (done this week.)

I’m recovering..

The weekend away was (surprisingly) wonderful! Very few of the personality clashes that make we always rethink if I want to go away. Don’t know if it was the time of year or what. But I’m recovering still.

So, to keep you entertained, I will brag that:

You Passed 8th Grade Math

Congratulations, you got 9/10 correct!

Could You Pass 8th Grade Math?

I even think I know which question I missed!

Going… going… gone

I’m off with my Pickle Girlfriends for a long weekend together at the beach down by Monterey. Weather reports say it will be raining all the time, but let’s hope for breaks.

I’ll be offline until late Sunday. So simple notes for the week:

-Got the errors on this blog down to 77 or so… (from over 100). I’m packing the printout with the list of errors, and the laptop so I can choose to make more corrections.

-Got Spheres sent to Anne Copeland.

-So glad to see Michael Kors offer Daniel V. a job! I hope Daniel takes him up on it; he could learn a lot working with that staff.

The Michelangelo Project

Ok. This is simple. I’m working on the template for this site, so things may look ugly before they look pretty.

But I have hope.

Or I’m insane

We should know within a week which it is.

So I’m spending all my spare time staring at this screen, but you might not see a thing.

What I WILL ask you. If you can’t read the information in the center panel, look over on the right hand side panel, and EMAIL ME. Tell me:

What Operating system you use. (windows xp, windows whatever, Mac, version #.. whatever. )

What browser you are using: Netscape x.x (well fill in the numbers), Firefox version, MSIE version number.. etc.) Opera.. the browser and the version. (ok, a geeky giggle: Instead of writing Opera, I originally wrote Oprah. I am sick.)

What size display you have. 800×600; 1024×768; 1280×600; 1280×768. Whatever…

In the meantime, go to FRENCH TOAST GIRL and do The Michelangelo Project.

I think I’m listing…

This past weekend, I wrote a piece for BlogHer about the lists on blogs. Looking at my own, I don’t have any!! I do occasionally write an entry that’s a list of thing to accomplish, no other lists extant on the page. I want to change that.

Now I could have:

• a weekly To Do list broken into catagories (art, blogging, home stuff, menus). Then cross them off as they’re done. (yawn…)
• random and various lists (books, music, movies, tv shows, etc) as a blogpost.
• a list of books I’ve read.
• a cool idea from Lisa Stone: A list of The Ten Things I’d Do If I Won the Lottery. (nobody says you have to win to begin on the list…)
• a cool idea like Keri Smith’s 100 things, or her 10 Ways
• a list of quilt shows I want to enter, including dates and notes if I made it or not. ooo. publicly holding my feet to the fire!

Think there is some potential here…

For Monday:

Make A List…
