Rain Rain Go Away

It's been raining cats and dogs, and pigs and cows, all day and night for the last couple of days. So I guess winter is finally...officially here, despite its lateness.

Otherwise, it's been in the late 60's to 70's with cold nights.

As you can see, Sam is pissed because this means no fetch the ball. Yes, I could stand outside with a waterproof suit and umbrella and play, but it's windy too! Sorry Sam.

I love rain but not when it's cold too. Speaking of cold, my room is not and that's a good thing, thanks to that nice guy Sal who bought me a radiant heater which works great. No more numb hands trying to bend wire.

I have added a "follow my blog" widget and to my surprise, my cousin found me and left a little note! It's not because of the widget, but because I shamelessly sent out a huge email to all my family and friends to put my shop link in their emails to friends. So my cousin blogged about my shop and then visited my blog. Thanks Meg!

Stay dry and warm , kids!

I am Baaaaaaaack...at etsy and blogging again

Well, I've been gone for quite a while, nursing a broken heart from my breakup with that Bill guy, my ex-boyfriend of almost 9 years.

My etsy store (I now only have one after my hard drive got fried) was full of cobwebs and dust, and I have been doing a bit of cleaning up and adding new things--many lower priced casual jewelry pieces made faster and with less intricate detail, so I could offer a range of jewelry for different buyers. I am still busy adding more pieces.

Plus I started knitting! My first, a loose weave oatmeal colored wool scarf, is almost finished and I'll add it to my shop.

I am glad to see my old etsy friends are still around--fishbulb500, fashiongreentbags, and princessizzy. Fishbulb said I better post another blog or she would have no choice but to kill me dead because she is SO sick of coming to my blog and seeing the pics of me and my two old hippie parents partaking in the huge portions of an authentic Mexican meal (see post below!)

Here's Sam at the largest dog part in the entire USA, running free and happy. It runs right along the beach and, after a few ball tosses, he snuck into the pacific ocean which is rocky, ice cold, and full of currents! After that we put him back on the leash. He just cannot resist water. Goldren retrievers are bred to be waterdogs; hense, their super thick coat.

I am glad to be back! Hello everyone!
