Back in Te-jas

The final weeks at Georgia were hot and muggy. It was an interesting dance between get up early work, find something else to do in the heat…movies, and then come back around 8 to work some more. Georgia..*shrug* At least it did not rain either of the last two weekends. The final week end was nice, and not too hot. On the final day there was the gathering of all the Georgia Musketeers. These boys have been buying from us for years, and they started their own little group which has around a dozen members, all with Excalibur hats, and these gorgeous wool capes that they had made especially for them. On this day they came galloping up on stick horses; the whole troop of them.

I always enjoy seeing the people that I only get to see at Georgia, and I am always sorry to leave them. This year, there was meeting new people, that are destined to be long and wonderful friends, and reconnecting with old friends in new and exciting ways. I am also always glad to leave though. The show is just getting more and more depressing, and they told several performers that due to budget cuts, they were not going to be able to afford them anymore. Interesting. I hope this is not a recurring theme this year.

Now I am back in Texas, and my first full day back was Saturday. What does that mean? Rahr, of course! So a bunch of people came out to the brewery on a muggy hot day, and we happily drank away at the excellent beer, then on to mexican for lunch. It was a very good day.

Now I am at home beading, beading, beading. I am hoping to finish most if not all the pieces for Keith and Shirley Barker in the next three weeks. My goal is to have all the beadwork done by this weekend, so I can start assembly next week. I am doing pretty well so far. Here are a couple of pics of that. I will be updating their entry on Waisted Efforts also.

SO that is what I have been up to. Weeeee!
