morgainaHealth: Fabulous.
Ambarino: Puppy on crack
SCA: Working on a tunic, I am going over all the machine seams with a feather stitch in wool yarn. Unfortunately puppy got hold of the ball of wool in question, tore it up and spread it across the floor in moments. Is there no end to his perfidy?
I’m also looking forward to Wastekeep’s Baron’s Ball where we are organizing an “Artisan’s Retreat”. The autocrat has been such a delight to work with.
Medieval Pottery: Yesterday I put together some flasks and burnished some beakers intended for a pit fire. I am working up some red clay for another cloche. The clay was mostly dried out so is a lot of work to rehydrate.
Modern Pottery: I borrowed a DVD from a friend on how to make cane handles. They look so gorgeous I have recently made several plates and baskets specifically to wrap handles for. Definitely a ‘wabi sabi’ look. Don’t know how I will adjust my glazes which are *not* wabi sabi, or my pottery shapes which are not either. I know my work is too tight, my Potter’s Guild friends suggested I have several strong drinks before I sit down at the wheel (ha, ha), but I somehow think it will not help my focus to have to get up from the wheel to pee every few minutes.
House: Argh, I have to make some phone calls and I mean *this week* about some major fix up projects, I’ve procrastinated too long.
Work: School session starts next week, I’d better get myself mentally prepared and I want to get some new clothes. I have lots of clothes, but they are looking well worn and some have been splashed with paint and ink. What would be most beneficial is a magic wand to make them all look new again. Then I wouldn’t have to shop.
Kids: Celadon thinks she broke her pinky in a fall and doesn’t want to go to Urgent Care because of the cost. Haven’t heard from the boys in the past few days, I know Deva has one of his Performance Art shows in Chicago in September, so is probably working his hinder off and Gavin anticipating the start of school.

BTW - my vet said don't believe people when they tell you that all your high-energy dog needs is more exercise to wear them out and calm them down. If you give a high energy dog extra exercise, what you get is a very fit high-energy dog. ;-)

Amby really is a cutie and loves people and other dogs.
