My Pool - Trashed!


My pool got trashed, I had water in the basement and coming in windows, but we didn't get it nearly as bad as some people just down the hill from us. There are roads closed all over the place, there were funnel clouds and hail, it lasted forever! We never have storms like this! It was crazy. The pool was overflowing, there were little waterfalls coming from my neighbors' driveway, and all the pine bark mulch that is in my planting area is now in the pool; the filter somehow got clogged with mulch and it's going to take DAYS to get it swimmable again.

The mailman never took my mail yesterday so some people who are waiting for beads are going to have to wait another day...sorry. I'm going to run them down to the post office, I guess.

so sorry this has happened to you.
Thank God no one was hurt, but it's a terrible inconvenience......I'm sure you'll handle it well. Just try to remember it's only Stuff, and everything will fall into place!
It rains here everyday anymore but we haven't had anyhting like that!

The most important thing is that you all made it out in one piece! I am glad to hear that you made it out in one piece...Clean up is never any fun, so I hope it isn't too hairy!
Oh geez, no fun. Glad you're ok!

Living in So Cal as I do, one forgets how severe the weather can be in other places. We just catch on fire every fall or rock and roll occasionally. Hope no one was hurt and that the damage is undone quickly and painlessly!

Each beader was paired up with another jewelry designer and tasked with sending the following: ~ A focal ~ A special clasp (not just a lobster claw) ~ Some coordinating spacers or beads Using the focal and the clasp was mandatory, but we could use anything from our own stash to round out the rest, and choose to use the coordinating beads or not. You may recall my partner was Margot Potter ; click this link to see the blog post I wrote of what she sent me! Here's what I made! Dangly earrings! Come see what the rest of us made! 1.

Puppies!

I just had to include this photo of my friend Beth's new puppies. They are 11 week old Jack Russell Terriers. The smaller one is the runt of the litter, but too cute. They are Libby and Lucy!!! Click on the photo to see them bigger!

Another quick post!

I know, I'm on a roll today. Even though I got a late start, I've made beads, made posts, done some scrabble tiles, now I have to fold some laundry and think about dinner. Just wanted to post a photo and link to the ebay auction of mine that started last night - I like the beads, they have a southwest feel and would make a fantastic focal piece in a bracelet, or a whole bracelet too! You can click on them to go to the auction!
