Monday- send the panels away from here!

I sent 13 panels to their destination last week and had 15 left to do. Here they are. Dyed, trimmed, sewn, finished. You cannot get the scale of the heap from this picture. Perhaps showing you how they look in the box will help...
Here they are packed into the box which is 48" high. The box weighed 26 pounds. I carried it up and out of the studio and to my car by myself. I loaded it into the car myself. I carried it out of the car and into the UPS store myself. I waved goodbye to it and skip to my lo-ed out the door. Free at last, free at last, thank GOD I'm free at last.
Came home and dyed some more veils. I will be dyeing belly dancing veils for as long as Jes will have me and as long as women continue to shake their bellys and giggle their money makers and wave their silks in the air.
Next project-the fiber art is starting to come in for the show here in Woodland on April 3rd. I am in charge of this one to a point- then after March 25th I'm just along for the ride. The California Fiber Artists will be showing their work at Gallery 625 in the County Administration Building from April 1-30th. Business hours apply. Come party with us on the 3rd. I'll take pictures and show you what happens next.
Tomorrow I clean the studio, rinse out some veils, dye some more veils and stick to my liquid fast because Wednesday is my last colonoscopy for what I hope will be a very long time. Four in one year is four too many for any one person to endure but the good news is that I have one squeaky clean colon with no polyps and no cancer. God is good. All the time. Can I get an "amen" from anyone in the house?
See you tomorrow.

By the way, spellcheck for "colonoscopy" gave me kaleidoscope and cloudscape. That's pretty funny, don't you think? Made me laugh out loud.

They ARE WAY CHEERFUL over there! And....looks like I might have a NEW UPS guy!??? Gray hair and halfmoon glasses like a young Dumbledore from Harry Potter! I hope all my heavy boxes don't wear him down and make him crabby too. Next delivery I'll ask him where old Droopy Dan is...maybe he got the can just as I was warming him up! Only took me 5 years.

Yes, 4 colonoscopies in one year is exactly four too many. Hopefully, you'll have a very favorable outcome. You're in my prayers.
