Well..things never turn out how we would like them..I had all my ducks in a row..that would be pieces of glass in my case...
After my last class I returned home only to have a phone call from my cousin saying my Uncle had passed away.... We were going to Vancouver anyways...so we spent the whole 4 days throwing stuff in a gigantic dumpster.. I knew he liked to keep collect things.. (cameras especially..over 300 of them) but no idea he was such a hoarder... One dumpster later and another to fill...
Anyways..another trip to Van. on Mon. And a quiet family graveside service for him as he left no instructions for his final demise...
Soooo .....we just have to wing it..
My husband and I came back vowing to get rid of all the extra stuff we have surrounding us...
All this stuff just creeps up on one... I think we can get by on very little because we all have our favorite things.. and use only maybe 40 or 50% of what we have....
So another job to do in the near future....

Another fabulous day in the Okanagan..seems we are having lots of them these days.

Finally got the studio cleaned up and ready to start production for the HOMES for the HOLIDAYS.. gig...
Did a bead-making class yesterday at the RCA.. great ladies to teach.. They made some lovely beads.. Now I just have to anneal them... My kiln is just about fixed.. we have all the parts.
We took it apart and saw that it was just the infinite control switch where some of the wires were fried.. Got the new one at the local appliance repair shop.. how easy was that??? Sounds too easy to me!!!
