I have yet to introduce you to our newest pet, Koray. This is Lizz's Beta that she didn't take to Indiana with her. (Koray is Turkish for red moon or something.) I bought him a new bowl - with a lid - because we caught Venus and Verona eyeing him. From a distance. So far. This little bowl came with divider so you can put two Betas in here and watch them go all macho at each other. You can even stack these things - so we could have 4 Betas or more - a wall of Betas! We just might get 3 more fish - I can't see more than that. Until the first cat mishap - and then we'll slap our foreheads, "What we were thinking??"

We finished watching the movie Spanglish tonight. Neither one of us likes Adam Sandler (based on nothing but SNL) but we'd seen previews for Spanglish while watching something else so I put it in our Netflix queue. We both liked the movie! But please, don't tell anyone that Adam Sandler made me cry. And not for the usual reason - that idiotic Chanukah song. Good movie.
I spent quite a bit of time on Sunday cutting out pieces for more Suncatchers. More pieces hit that round tin than the floor. I think.
I had the pieces all stacked up, ready to assemble tonight. When I first glanced at them this morning, I realized how nicely the colors go together. Now I've been inspired to veer from my usual monochromatic themes and try some different combinations. My goal is to make as many as I can and take them to Artisan's Alley on Thursday. Maybe Friday.

Should have wished my nephew, Nick, a happy 19th birthday yesterday. I was so focused on him coming home from the Marines today, the birthday almost seemed secondary. I have no idea how my younger sister Gretchen has a kid who is 19. Must have had him when she was 12 or something.

Where do you get your energy??? The suncatchers are beautiful!
50 First Dates (another Adam Sandler movie)can make me cry like a teenage, hormonal girl. I don't like Adam Sandler's comedy, but I do think that he is a great serious actor. There is something really touching about him (at least that one character.) Spanglish may be something I watch soon. And, pretty sun catchers! I need to get my craft desk set up... I'm feeling the incredible need to paint.
Those stacks of suncatcher papers look so pretty arranged like that!
Thank goodness poor Koray has someone looking out for him ... otherwise he's cat food.
Hope the fish lives longer than mine did. Broke my heart when I lost them after trying so hard.
My beautician has been through 7.
My cats never bothered with the beta fish... Good luck!
Consider cleaning up fish poop x four before proceeding... I have a tank with a filter and everything, and still the damn thing has to be cleaned around once a month. My husband killed the first betta (shocked the poor thing with all new water), but Deke2 has hung in there for awhile now.
nice cutting Stefani! you've more patience than I!
