Opening the restaurant last year kicked our you know whats and the summer was full steam ahead at the Brickyard. Fall found us dealing with family as one sister almost died and the other one moved back to Kansas. I'm happy to report that everyone is settled in and doing well. That took priority over business. Our son Travis and his wife finally found the house they had been waiting for and moved in mid December. We helped for a couple of days with that too. Two of our dearest friends told me in early November that they were getting married on Thanksgiving. I had been waiting on this for a long..... time. 10 years to be exact. So we put together a wedding in less then 3 weeks. We had almost 150 for Thanksgiving dinner. Then we slept for 2 days... All the best to you Chuck and Jeralyn. <br />

No I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, but I have been insanely busy for the past 4 months. Between the store, restaurant, rescue dogs, studio purging, teaching and traveling there hasn't been a moments rest. But I am here to catch you up on the activities of Mrs. O'Leary herself. <br />
<br />
The rescue dogs, Benny, Chester and Jazzy are all doing well. They have hair now and are waiting for new homes. They are all sweets dogs. They are a Lab and Doxie mix. Figure that one out. The 2 boys look like miniature black labs with a bit of white and Jazzy their sister is totally brindled so she looks tattooed. All have been neutered, shots and a clean bill of health. Anyone interested in expanding your family?<br />

This gentleman's name is Jeff. He is an art teacher I believe in Eastern Ohio. The only one for the entire area and he works with teens keeping them busy for the summer and out of trouble. I shared with him ideas and products he can use to keep the interest high for his students. We will stay in touch.<br />

Time to head west. We have been helping several of the dog rescue groups transport animals as we are traveling. We knew there was a chance that we would bring back a neglected dog that had been pulled from a farm in Ohio. He was one of 30. His name is now Chester. Chester had been chained all last summer to the outside of the barn unprotected from the sun. He had been coated in motor oil that had never been cleaned off which left his skin burned and infected. He was also covered in rat bites and has every kind of worm in his body that a dog can get including heart worm. When we went to get Chester, we learned there were also 2 siblings that weren't in as bad of shape, but there was nowhere for them to go. So Mark went out a bought a kennel, food and chew toys and we ended up with all 3. Not being able to get a hotel with 3 dogs, we ended up sleeping in a truck stop. The dogs were so frightened that I had all 3 under the covers with me through the night. </div>

The medical bills (even with a generous veterinarian, Dr. Julie that gives us a great deal) for these three dogs over the next 2 months will be over $1,000. If anyone would like to help by donating for their care or the care of the other animals in the rescue, you can send a check </div>

I got an extra treat at these classes that I haven't had a chance to experience before. I took classes along side of friends from back home. I'm usually hurrying around teaching them at O'Leary's, but this time we were at the tables together. Thanks for the good times Karen and Andi. <br />

We arrived in the dark at this 100 year old hotel, "the Elms". I just had to ask. "Is it haunted?" Of course the answer was yes but they are friendly. We will be exploring. <br />

Once again life has presented me with another crossroad. A year ago at this time I was deciding to get off the road, well at least to stop the insanity and the shows. I had still planned on teaching at a few stores throughout the country but to work more out of my studio and promote the online sales. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What I thought would be son Travis coming home to just help organize a bit turned into a full restaurant and has plans being made daily on further expansion and events. I find many a day calling from the road to one of our crew traveling another road in another direction. Hopefully we will all end up in the same location soon to catch our breath. Our daughter in law Brooke will be joining us in Kansas full time the beginning of May. We may not know where we are heading, but at least we will all be here together. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been telling you all that I'm working on the web site. Well I've been telling you that for 8 years now and I have been working on it for 8 years, but extra hard 15 hours a day for 4 weeks. It's up! It is just the beginning and there are some links that broke when we put it online that need fixed. I haven't had time to load the samples and products on the galleries, but the Artful illusions rubber catalog is a flip book with all the pages updated. It takes a minute to load, but it is all there. <a href="http://www.mrsolearysart.com/" target="_blank">www.mrsolearysart.com</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In 2 weeks we will be teaching in Columbus, Ohio at Artiscape <a href="http://europeanpapers.com/category/ART-WS.html" target="_blank">http://europeanpapers.com/category/ART-WS.html</a> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and 2 weeks after that will be Stamp Asylum in Plano, Texas. <a href="http://stampasylum.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://stampasylum.blogspot.com</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All the classes are sold out in those venues at this time, but we are returning to Stamp Asylum to teach in late June as we will be in Dallas to attend market at that time. So if you are on the waiting list for the Plano classes watch for the updates as we will be repeating those classes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Returning from Ohio we will be stopping at our favorite Junk store to gather decor for the Brickyard as we are redoing the exterior decor. It will be so cool. Wait till I send you pictures this summer. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sound like I'm slowing down yet? I reluctantly showed a couple of art retreat promoters some of my class works during some recent trips. I'm not sure I should be taking this step, but this is the new crossroads I was talking about. It looks like you might be seeing me at more locations throughout the country teaching next year. </div>

Since we travel criss-crossing the states, we have agreed to help some of the animal rescue groups transport their friends. This is Jersey Girl. Her owner passed away in January and the family just left her locked up in the house alone without food or water for 3 weeks. After that she ended up on the streets until neighbors took her into the local shelter. She was living there well cared for, but her time was up and the next day she was to be put down. Can you imagine being put down because no one wanted you? And who wouldn't want this great girl. A wonderful Dr. from the Houston area drove to Galveston and brought her to us in Brenham, Texas. We transported her back to Wichita caring for her for the week till she met up this morning with another transport to Colorado. Her new family is waiting for her there. It was hard to let her go as she was amazing, but we can't keep them all and there will be another one needing our help again soon. She was far better behaved on the ride home than my children ever were. <br />

Now the home crew is another story. You may remember the January story of our blind dog "Baby".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Baby gets around the house and yard just fine. In fact there are times when I think maybe she can see a bit, but then she runs into a wall if things get hectic and I know to help steer her around the obstacles in our always crazy household. But Baby has found my shoes. For those of you that know me, you understand that my shoe wardrobe mostly consists of flip-flops. I try to remember to put them up on a table or counter when they aren't on my feet, but I inevitably forget and am rewarded with another mismatch pair. I've decided that one of my summer projects will be to make altered flip-flops so I disguise the damages and make use of my shambled footwear. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While packing for Texas I found that many of my pairs only had a right or left still in decent shape, so I had to make a quick run into a mall in Plano to get yet another pair. We made the trip to Texas, shopped antiques for 2 days and returned home at 2AM on day 3. With going on 3 hours sleep 2 nights in a row I was tired and yes once again I forgot to put up the flip-flops. </div>

We stopped in Plano Texas on our way down to visit our friends at Stamp Asylum and dinner at my new favorite Texas food stop Anamia's for a salad I dream about. Chicken fajita salad topped with gaucamole that they make fresh at your table. OK, I'm going to have to demand our restaurant "Public" at home start making this for me as I can't drive to Dallas everyday. <br />

Driving onto Round Top we pass through this cute little town with an even cuter name. Rosebud, Texas. Sorry the picture is a bit blurry, but it was dark and I was in the gas station across the way. I just think it would be so cool to have your mail delivered to Rosebud. <br />

As I was waiting to pay for my last selections of the day, my eye was caught by a sign "vintage". The jeweler had recently relocated from 5th Avenue, NY City to New Jersey. His family has had the business there for over 80 years. As they were cleaning out the basement for the move, they uncovered many a treasure from the past. This is a strung group of glass mirrored buttons. It was one of the first shipments that came out of Germany after the war. I'm not sure how these will be used, but I can just imagine the bustling clerks and customers that were moving about the store in the late 40's. I'm so glad this selection was left untouched just waiting all these years for me to come rescue them. </div>

An inattentive driver ran a light and T-boned our car she was driving at full force. We are so lucky that the impact of the hit was at the post between the front and back doors. The car is totaled, but the girls escaped with whiplash. Unfortunately their dog was in the back seat. All the windows broke out of the car and Missy the dog leaped out the back window. This was Monday morning at the corner of Woodlawn and Douglas. If anyone is reading this posting and lives in east Wichita, keep your eyes out for a 55 pound black and white dog. <br />

All our friends and family are helping out taking care of things back home. We couldn't do anything else to help, so off to class we went. I started out doing a wire wrapped bezel with Rhonda Chase.<br />

We visited mostly the African markets. It is like walking through the rabbit hole into another land. The language, dress, foods, crafts and of course beads from that region on display under the tents made you imagine you were walking the streets through one of their villages. We purchased trade beads, some African porcupine quills and lots of ammonites. <br />

We had such a nice treat as we were finishing up our shopping at the To Bead True Blue show. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There in front of us were our buddies Paula and Teresa at the Paula Best booth. We had dinner </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
together and had so much catching up to get in. The night ended all too soon with us promising </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
each other that we wouldn't let this much time go between visits. </div>
