Weekend Wrap-Up

.

I worked for MJ at Canal Days on Saturday for about 5 hours. The weather forecast called for thunderstorms but it turned out to be mostly okay, for the bulk of the day. It rained at the very beginning and very end of the day with a short, light sprinkle in between. It confirmed for me once again that I don't want to do outdoor shows, at least not at this point. The slightest wind or water - not so good for paper.

I was to work for MJ on Sunday as well, for only 3 hours. I had Steve drop me off (to avoid hassling with parking) an hour early because I wanted to go visit a couple of friends who were also vendors in the show. It turns out MJ left me voice mail that she didn't need me today but she had my old cell phone number - and I was probably already there at the show by then anyway. Her husband was able to work with her that day. This didn't bother me at all because I had plenty to do at home. So I called Steve to come pick me up.

I worked on filling an order. (Hi Julie!) I had to make a bunch of cards that I didn't have in stock. I updated some of them so they are similar to what was on the website, but are now a little better, I think. More beads is what that really means! I've updated the Stefani page with the new versions -and I'm posting them here as well. I sure do love making cards!

Now that our TV shows are in rerun, we've returned to Netflix. Over the last couple of weeks we've watched:

Moonlight Mile - chosen because I wanted to see Jake Gyllenhaal in something else, after seeing him in Brokeback Mountain. Also with Ellen Pompeo from Gray's Anatomy and Susan Sarandon and Dustin Hoffman. I highly recommend this.

Spy Game - Brad Pitt & Robert Redford. Need I say more?? Though after the opening scene, I was afraid it was going to be another Ronin, where I couldn't follow the plot or even keep the characters straight. But I could and I liked it.

The Last Castle - Robert Redford and James Gandolfini. I'd seen James Gandolfini interviewed on Inside the Actors Studio and saw a clip of this movie. I was intrigued. It was very good - and we loved seeing Gandolfini in a role quite different from Tony Soprano.

Sideways - loved it!
