Rosemary Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) The light is shining at the end of the tunnel It has been a long time since I have posted on the forum. I still checked in on a regular basis - but as a guest so that I didn't get distracted and start posting, we all know how addictive this place can be lol. Anyway, I have been really, really busy in the studio. I got a contract to make recycled 'treat' bottles for a local organic pet shop. It has been hectic - especially as I only started engraving a few months ago. I am using old Nescafe coffee bottles, engraving on them, mostly wolf type stuff and paw prints, but enough is enough, now I am taking a short break. Oh yes, I also started a book blog as a hobby, that is a lot of fun, but where to find the time ............... I usually read at night when I can't work in the studio (noise) and play on the blog at about 2am and then crash Ozzy and Micah are doing well - I adore my huskies Micah is doing really well. We decided to not do the hip replacement and monitor her 24/7. She is also on the Vitamin C that Gigi mentioned in a post a while back - the improvement in her movement and pain levels has has been truly amazing, she is such a special little girl. I see a lot of new members and lots and lots of gorgeous huskies, welcome to everyone. Edited May 8, 2013 by Rosemary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosemary Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 These are the jars I am doing today, plus the one on the table which I am busy on ...... they still need their beads and tags to be attached. This is my little engraving station. This was a learning experience. When I got the contract we went out and bought a very expensive (to me) Dremel work table with clamps and stuff to hold the jars - but it didn't work, I needed to be able to rotate the jar as I worked. After days of frustration I eventually took an ice cream tub put a towel in and it is perfect - cost .... zilch Live and learn. I also needed water - glass dust is dangerous stuff, when it gets into the lungs it stays there until the day you die. So, Monty put together a water dispenser using a plastic container and a submersible fish tank pump to pump drip water onto the piece I am busy on. I also wear magnifying glasses and a dust filtration mask - I look like a survivor on a toxic Post Apocalyptic earth when I wear it - but safety first, vanity second. No Linda .... no photos I took this quick pic of the two of them sleeping - Ozzy lying half on and half off :wacko: As you can see, nothing has changed I still talk too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosemary Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Am fine thanks and so looking forward to camp Wading my way though Kathy Reichs at the moment could do with some new ideas Whats your blog Addy ? Have you read Zoe Sharp? I have a feature page of her books on my blog. Dunc, you must really try some zombie fiction (if you haven't already) John O'Brien, D J Molles, and James Cook - all have great series. My Blog : http://funwithbooksblog.com/ I am trying to get a new theme to make it more 'professional' so it will probably change in the near future. I don't think any of the books I have reviewed will be to your taste, but have a look on the menu bar at John O'Brien and DJ Molles - I will do a page for james cook when I get some time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darn, i am STILL jealous :wacko: all are fine angel was a bit poorly the other week but is fine now. Storm loves her, angel was a bit unsure at first but they often play together and shes pretty good with her considering Aurora thinks Angel isnt allowed to have the toys and Aurora is allowed to have them all lol poor angel. Aurora knicks everything angel has. but you will often find them curled up together on the settee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
