And another 4 months.....

That seems to be my Modus operandi. Sigh.


Ah well. I started  a new job, which has taken a lot of my time, and dealing with doggo. A couple of weeks ago he was attacked by another neighborhood dog. :/ I don't have a yard so I have to walk him in order to get him exercise and provide him the room to poop. The neighborhood dog was on a leash, but no one was holding it. Froggy had his butt planted on the sidewalk, cause I told him no and he HATES it when I tell him no. The other dog came up to him, sniffed his nose, then chomped his face and tried dragging him away. It only ended when I kicked the other doggo in the chest which made him let go and run away. I was glad I had on my steel toed construction boots. Froggy was not even really fighting back, just trying to get out of the bite. He had punctures in his face, and they scratched his remaining eye. I was sooo piassed off. There is a reason you keep your dog on a leash and in control, even if they are "a good dog" who will listen. Cause they don't always, and when something like this happens is not the time to find out when they will decide to ignore you. Fortunately he is ok, though he has scars on his snout now. And I am nervous to take him anywhere.

I have 4 things I have been working on. The first thing is armor for mr doggo. I decided he needed an helmet and armor set. I decided on 2......a Corinthian helmet with lorica Squamata armor to strap to his back, with a little tshirt underneath. Next is a Norman helmet and norse tunic. This is as far as I have gotten on that one.....

Next is little disks to put in the valves in my mask. I love the look, but those valves on the sides allow droplet to get out, which defeats the purpose of wearing a mask. So I glued down the rubber piece that was the functioning part of the valve, and made several plastic disks I can change out at will. I need to concentrate my decorations further out to the edges of the disks. Otherwise I love how they are turning out.

Next....I have always been a sucker for pretty pens. I saw a glass dip pen online, and decided I had to play around with one. So I got 5. :/ Yeah. I am worse than my mother sometimes. At least they averaged $2 each. The ink that came with them are crap, so I went to Blicks and got some good quality color calligraphy inks. I LOVE THEM SOOOO MUCH! So smooth. The green one had a chip in the tip. Which makes me sad. When I use the unchipped edge it is the best one. I am looking for someone in the area who does lampwork glass who might be able to help me fix it.

Also...have I mentioned I have a problem? I....am...a musical instrument whore. I want them all. I want to learn how to play all the instruments. I gave in last week and ordered this lyre. It is a 16 string, modeled loosely off greek and middle eastern lyres. It is in G modal, which means it goes from G as the lowest note to A as the highest note string, with no sharps or flats in the bunch. It sounds divine! Now that the strings are fully stretched and I have prcticed a bit, I can play 4 songs so far. Searching for Lambs, Usheg Veg Ruy, Fear A Bhata and Ma Navu. It is sooo fun...and addicting....and I can handle it even when my joints are not cooperating. It took me a while to wrap my head around how it works. You anchor and steady it with your left hand, and play the melody and chords with the right hand simultaneously. Hard, but fun. Eventually I will get better at it....I hope.

So there ya go. I am so scattered. I have project ADD, I swear. I still haven't gotten all my sewing projects done. I have apparently moved on, though I will eventually go back to them all.

I will leave you with one of my favorite pics I have taken lately. Last week when I got to work, there was a litte tree frog hanging out top of the card reader. Such a cutie!

Hope your quarentine is going better than you imagined.
