Well I woke up this morning after a long night with two nine year old girls in the house only to find that the Christmas tree has fallen over...a second time! So now I have the fun task of stripping the ornaments while the tree is laying down. It seems that one of the tines that stick out from the base has broken. Again. I think I might try putting the stem into one of those patio umbrella bases.

On another more creative note I am making cool stuff!! I am going to be cutting and welding a set of fire fans on Monday at the welding school shop. here is a cool example of what I am making for those of you who have never seen me play with them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivljVpUAvjU I am hoping to open a website and begin selling these. Anyone know any fire dancers/marketing people?

Last night the girls and I tye dyed the fabric for my new patchwork skirt. I will be posting a tutorial with pictures of the measuring, dying, and sewing. More on that in a few days.

For now I need to get back to brushing little girl hair and drinking coffee. Ciao!
