Toronto, H&H

Still in Toronto, had a fabulous day on a local city tour bus (one of those on/off numbers) slowly feeling less sick each day.
Went out to the islands, feted with a close up of the Toronto air show.
Off to Westport tomorrow, hoping to be well enough to finally eat something with real maple syrup on it!!
Have been well looked after by my Uncle in-law (husband's uncle) Herbert, and am staying right next to the St.Lawrence market with anoth really kind distant relative of Herb's and therefore me, Henry.
Don't know whether H&H is like M&Ms, but both are leaving me with a really good feeling.
I will certainly be back to Toronto again.

I have a few schedule changes and am working at someone else's computer, so will put them here as well as the side bar

Another P word

Well, the party's over and time to call it a day from St.Louis. Off to Chicago next for some serious R&R before hitting the highlights in Canada.
Can't wait for some sleep and hoping my feet recover from days of concrete floors and walking miles.
Had one of my projects showcased for the Novi MI show (Huggy Shruggy), will keep you posted as to when to have a sneak preview. Today's class could have kept on going all week, so fantastic to get store owners and teachers to play with some of my arty techniques. If you see me on my travels I will be showing some of this.
Once more, off to rest the feet and restore the eyeballs to normal

Are we there yet?

I cannot believe just how fast the week has flown...my last day ( and a full day class at that) tomorrow, ff to Chicago for a few days to sleep!!!! Oh, and to wash my clothes and undies.
I am not sleepimg especially well, with my brain being overfull with stimulation each day: much better than being too empty though I suppose.
I am really not even making sense to myself, off to fade into the bed again

Bungy Jumping brain

Well, day 2 of teaching is over: my brain is jumping with too many ideas, my legs are complaining about concrete floors and walking miles to get to my room.
Computer hassles plaguing me: cannot get out on my email at times, maybe it's just me being too tired to concentrate, or maybe I am just computer challenged.
Some really great new products coming down the system: great long arm quilting machine, new sewing machine (TOL),threads galore.
Networking and socializing are also fantastic--great to catch up with lots of old friends and make more new ones.
I am fading off to bed, will get some photos off to y'all soon
