Create bug

Hello again -

I have some new pictures to add today - Some new items I've been working on in my handy dandy craft room (aka STUDIO). Please, let me know if you like these new things. Thank you.

Alas, I'm at work again today. My mind has been so full of new things I want to try and do in my craft room, excuse me, Studio, that I'm not a happy camper here. I want to be HOME!!! Don't get me wrong, I like my job, have great co-workers, and for the first time ever, have a GREAT boss. However, when the "create" bug gets to me, work just isn't where I want to be.

To passify myself somewhat I've uploaded a bunch of pictures on Flickr. It's a photo site where you can find tons and tons of pictures. Crafts, people, everything. Anyways, my account there is under the name - hesshatcreek - so feel free to look at all the stuff I have there.

Recent events at our house have included a swim party and yard work. Not very exciting - huh? The swim party was fun although we had a really small group this year. Yard work??? Well, we mow, I pull grass and pick stuff in the veggie garden. Cantalope is starting to come on and I think there's at least 100 of them out there. Cucumbers are slowing down and green beans are coming back on. Never a shortage of things to do at our place, thats for sure.

One of my neices - remember I have about a gazillion of them - and I took a face sculpting class in KC recently. It was just an afternoon class and we both had a good time. However, I feel very confident in saying the sculpting world has no worries of competition from us. I'm not sure either of us will ever get the hang of sculpting lips.

We have another new addition at our house. Her name is Piper and she is a black cat about 2 1/2 years old. I got her from my adopted neice - Bry when she moved to her new place and couldn't take Piper with her. She's always been an inside cat but we're working at adjusting her to be an outside cat. We already have Desa in the house and 1 house cat is enough. Speaking of Desa ...... B calls her Desee all the time. I tell him her name is DesA but he still calls her DesEE. Now he's got me calling her Desee sometimes. Men!

Here it is August already and I find myself thinking "Oh no, summers almost gone and I still haven't done this outdoor project and that project and that other project". Looking at the calander I see I have plans for this weekend, next weekend and every weekend in September already. I may have to cancel some of those and stay home. Surprisingly, the weather here is not bad at all. In fact, for August, it's plum nice out. Not 100 + as usual but in the 80's. Lucky for me, I actually feel like working outside. B is helping the neighbor again this year with his hay. It benefits both our family's as the neighbor gets the help he needs and B gets to indulge his "farming" gene. It also gets him out of my hair for a few hours. Nice.

Next time I'll probably bore everyone with our vacation pics. We're going to Mesa Verde, Colo the end of Sept. We've never been there and are looking forward to the trip. Till then, please enjoy my new pictures. Bye.
