>> Hi Lynda, that sounds like you had a fun time! I'm glad that you rescued 
>> that family of cats. I hope that the other three end up in good homes 
>> when that time comes. Congradulationce on your beeding projects! I am 
>> learning how to make you know those ropes that you can play tug-a-war 
>> with? Yah, I like making them even more than the rag rugs that I made on 
>> the loom. I will finish the rug that I'm almost done with before I move 
>> ixclusively to the dog ropes. I ran into a number of technical problems 
>> with the weaving loom and soeing is just not in my skill set which is 
>> unfortunent because I have to soe the strips that the rag rug is made of 
>> together in order for them to be at a high quallity. I have not had as 
>> many technical diffacolties with the dog ropes and this is going on my 
>> third week of making them. You don't have to soe anything together which 
>> works out perfically fine by me. My weaving skills come in handy with 
>> making the ropes because you have to braid three strips together and you 
>> get to make a not at each end of the rope and add a bit of creativity at 
>> the same time. I am more independent with the dog ropes than I ever was 
>> with the rag rugs. I was in a meeting with my local krafter's guild on 
>> the week before Independent's Day when someone there came up with an idea 
>> to make the dog ropes. I tried it and made three or four of them that 
>> same day! I'm glad that I discovered it!!! Another kraft that I 
>> discovered through Sunnyside Organics was how to make paper from scratch. 
>> I can do most of it independently. Last week, I just finished up a course 
>> on the ways to make this paper. The paper is organic and is made out of 
>> plant-based fibers such as straw, celery, leaks and cotton. Sunnyside 
>> Organics is wanting to do a line of home made paper as a way to make 
>> money and recycle some of their plants. They love anything to do with 
>> horticulture and agerculture that is organic. How cool!!!

>>> Mission is completed:  the one week trek to southern Ohio to do our 
>>> GIRLZ ART ADVENTURE in the woods.  I came back a very happy "camper."
>>>
>>> Completed the 8 1/2 x 11 inch encrusted bead work piece I had been 
>>> working on for a couple of months. After that, I started to do the 
>>> encrusted bead worked talisman pendant.  It is just loaded with pearls 
>>> and stunning Swarovski crystals - the REAL STUFF.
>>>
>>> After I get the pendant done - then I can do the Spiral Rope with Honey 
>>> Wax Opal Chips and Japanese Seed Beads that will be attached to the 
>>> pendant. It is gonna be a show stopper. Breath taking!
>>>
>>> The big bonus from our art camp was the visits we had from a stray cat 
>>> who came to beg from us - she arrived like a ghost at 7 am one morning 
>>> as I opened our door to begin my beading that day.  We gained her trust 
>>> through FOOD, and she eventually led my daughter to her nest of FOUR 
>>> little secrets - oh, gosh, what to do?  How could we go home knowing 
>>> there was a mother and four babies hidden away there with no food source 
>>> and no water anywhere - and nobody around.  Yes, we eventually got them 
>>> all and brought them home - they are here in my home now resting up from 
>>> the dramatic rescue - the mother is wild so it was very traumatic for 
>>> her.
>>>
>>> I am happy to say they ALL are using the litter boxes - and the mother 
>>> is letting me pet her!  I guess our next move will be to get them all to 
>>> the vets in a few days - after I can finally get to pick up the mother, 
>>> that is!  I have named her Effie Pearl. Her four little fluffy children 
>>> are: Opal; big Boss; Peaches; and Diamond Back.  I will keep Effie Pearl 
>>> and Opal, and will be finding homes for the other three when the time is 
>>> right for that.
>>>
>>> Our GIRLZ ARt Camp Adventure was wonderful. We hiked in the mountains, 
>>> walked trails, explored caves, (some) did the 10 zip lines (not me); did 
>>> exercises and cardio in the evenings, walked up and down a very steep 
>>> mountain hill ever day, and more. We all came home very happy.This is my 
>>> kind of vacation - beading every day for hours, mornings and nights, and 
>>> laughing till we cried with friends over silly and crazy things.
