-finished brand for bowls.
-sold three on etsy! (one to Iran. thanks!)
-need to cut bases off five bowls for the craft show on Sunday.
-bought a speed regulator to slow down the lathe, but it turns out the motor draws too many amps. blew the fuse instantly.
-maybe I should just get a smaller/slower motor.
-also need a reversing switch for sanding.
-and a smaller faceplate (1 1/2" x 8tpi)

-I've recieved lots of interest in podbarks for newer ipods.
-the Mountain Xpress mentioned me in passing!
-ordered two 2'x8' sheets of veneer for podbarks (walnut & cherry. maple hasn't sold very well).
-finished patterns for more versions of ipod.
-got quotes from a local laser cutter.

-still making fuel at Blue Ridge Biodiesel.

-started working for Charles, a local contractor.

-feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Aww! Girl! That's a pretty crazy turkey day story....

Great to hear that the bowls and podbarks are doing well.

The earrings are a-door-bell. So little! You sound like you've both got a lot in the works!

Much love

Bet Girl is glad to be a normal, self-grooming cat again.

Your brand looks great.

Good luck juggling all those things you're doing -- sounds like my life. Ack.
