I’m a die hard Hugh Laurie fan, but I must say Lisa Edelstein gave her career a huge plus with last night’s performance on House. It was very, very well written also. It was more serious than most episodes since Hugh Laurie as House was there, but not as much. But the plot was most engrossing, and as a person who worked in Hospital Administration light years ago, plausible. Love dramas about strong women under pressure. It was also nice to see House’s character’s admiration for her grit and perseverance. If you missed this episode, catch it when its around again.

Going through a little bit of a patch lately,,, but much calmer today too. I guess all I can do is go with the flow and wait for a sign of which of the many crossroads before me I should choose. Job decisions, hopes about my current job….. etc. etc. etc. So I’ll just keep my wits about me and anxiously await tonight’s “House”. Some day I should do an in depth analysis of why many are so obsessed and I mean obsessed about “House”. Tonight is Cuddy’s night to shine. You know where I will be be at 8 p.m.
My etsy shops are lonely…

Well, according to the poet “April is the cruelest month” – not. I nominate February- too early for spring (even in Oregon) overcast and grey and back east can easily be a snow festival. Sorry, I don’t like it. Hate winter, even though I sort of know how to ski and have lived in Colorado in my past. Not much skiing in the recent past. I have however managed to handle Copper Mtn and Keystone in my younger years. I snow plow down like an idiot. I much prefer jumping on my mountain bike in warmer times….
Do you hate February too? Feel free to comment. I want more sun and some hint of flowers….. everything’s dank at the moment.
Make my day… visit these shops

A graphic designer with a wicked sense of humor…. I like that…. also a whole lot of interesting categories to choose from in her shop. Lets see – Barbie Murders, and Retro Rebrobates… Some art , some jewelry, prints, graphic design… In her own words:
I have been interested in crafting and jewelry since I was a little girl. I am now a grown up graphic designer, but I find it no less enjoyable to sit down and make something with my own two hands. Being able to share the things I make, the pictures I draw, and the photos I take with others is one of the things I love most about the internet and especially about Etsy.

A new featured artist, a fellow Oregonian…. I love this sort of whitewashed shabby chic look. A very creative idea for hooks, candlesticks, racks, cabinets.
In her own words:
Mother with 2 young children and an educator with 3 part-time jobs (not including Etsy). In my spare time I enjoy finding and making (or redoing) things. I feel a great sense of accomplishment creating something or refinishing a piece of furniture. I started making pieces for Etsy in order to justify my “me time”. My favorite colors for my work are white (all shades), black, pale pink, and light green.
I love creating shabby chic looks from wood pieces, but since I live in Oregon the weather doesn’t always allow for sanding or painting outside. So I also make cards and treasure hunt for great vintage pieces. I have to have something else to do the 9 months when it’s not warm!

Well, the bead supplies shop is taking off really quickly. New things will be added daily from now on. http://www.beadsuneed.etsy.com 
I have a lot of things there I have accumulated over the years. I’m also going to start listing my handmade lampwork beads there and leave the other shop for my finished work. I’m excited! Take a look!
