Two in One Day!
I quit the job today. I feel a lightness of heart and mind. It was hard to get myself to the place where quitting was OK.
So I stayed home and played cloth all day.
Arrow realized that my door was open and came in. He discovered that he too is a bird watching fanatic. I love him so much.
The birds are flying into the window, so I cut branches out of black crepe paper. It helps but does not do the whole job.
I got an email from a woman who is going to take my dye class here in July. My first MAJOR teaching gig. Week long and ALL! I am so excited about it. And to have been contacted by someone I do not know is super exciting. I hope it fills up!
Congrats on the dye class! You inspire me.

MAJOR congrats on quitting your job to pursue your art!! I did it 9 years ago (well, okay, I got laid off) and haven't looked back since. Keep us all posted on your classes and workshops!

I love the ginkgo leaves-how did you do that?
And will we get to see an update on the bluebird-it POPS out at you!
1. Love the video.
2. Glad you quit the job.
3. Congratulations on the teaching week.
4. We get the occassional bird suicide also. Perhaps several black bird profiles on the window would do the trick.
Love!

Posted by: JulieZS at April 19, 2007 01:18 PMWe had this problem in NY. Even one or two "window suicides" a month were too much to bear. We had to move the bird feeder off to the side of the window so that the bird's view from the feeder to the house was NOT glass.
