Well, I'm home now and it's back to work for my next show in two weeks. Incredibly, I still have a couple of orders from my last couple of shows that I wasn't able to get out before my trip to Florida that I've got to get right on...

I also want to say that if anyone tried to contact me during early October and I haven't gotten back to them, it's likely that I never got the either the telephone message or the email message, so please, try me again!

November 29, 2008
Well, what a hot, exhausting, tiring and wonderful day! Eight hours of watching demonstrations, torching, lunching, torching, and watching demonstrations! Melanie is a wonderful teacher and I already am pleased with the knowledge that she has shared with the class. Her beads are wonderful and her stringer control is incredible. I'm looking forward to another great day, albeit hot, of learning and practicing more great techniques.

I've thought about starting a blog before, but it seemed silly. But so often, I've wanted to update my customers about my current or future plans, or to mention a specific show that was on the horizon and there just is not a better way to do it.

For instance, as I've mentioned to some of you over the last few weeks, I had a technological breakdown - losing the use of my telephone and then losing the use of my laptop computer, which has/had all of my files on it, including my website. Now that's not to say that I didn't backup my information, because I did, it's just that I haven't been able to update my website, emails, or anything until I installed the data onto a new computer...not to mention, purchasing a new computer and new programs first! I've been able to get back up to speed, and now I need to get back down into the studio and do some work! Some fun work!

Entry from Wednesday (11/28) Leaving for Melanie Moertel Class in Orlando, FL

I'll be leaving later today for Orlando, FL for a 2-day, 16-hour class with Melanie Moertel, a lampworker from Germany who is in the United States teaching classes in October and November. Click here to check out her work!
