Meticulous experimentation

Mixed up a very nice fragrant oil perfume. Mmmmm it smell like a piece of heaven. The oils are Sandalwood, Frankinsence, Jasmine, Rose, Lavendar, Neroli and Ylang Ylang. It has a very grounding earthy smell.. somewhat like water lillies, but with out the pond smell. It took a bit of trial and error (and a small wasabe dish) to get the the mixture right, one drop at a time. Once I got how many parts per each essential oil, I mixed up enough for a small bottle, and put some in the oil burner.... Mmmmmm (smile) very nice.

Went out with Meegan for micro pillage. I got a new mortal and pestle. I am going to stencil on the side of it "DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER". I am sick of grinding up fresh dried herbs, wiping it clean, only to have hubby shove it in hot soapy water, then not rinse it well. It takes weeks for the thing to dry out enough to use it again.It only needs a wiping out, not a dunking. Maybe I can get this through his head. If not, I have an extra on now.

Tonights class was very intense workout. I almost felt sorry for Seana and Brenda, but they agreed they need to get the strength in the arms and shoulders way up. Also did some zil drill, but most of tonight was arm work.

They went to a workshop over the weekend, one that was advertised (and I quote) "After this weekend, you will be able to start a tribe of your very own!" Both of them said Oh hell no, there was no way. I guess their posture got ummm pointed out to them, as much as we told them about it. I surmise this as they tended to not slouch tonight. So if anything, the workshop helped em out with that.

Seana's new choli looked marvelous. She said the pattern we gave her worked a treat. She said she was looking forward to making another. Brenda, seeing how well the choli did fit, is going to be making one too.

A bit worried about Virginia.. I hope she is ok.

Good class overall, and we have two that *want* to perform. Boooyah!

Getting this off my chest.. a catharsis (several months overdue too)

I know it won't do any good but I have to vent.

I am infuriated that a certain unscrupulous woman has taken Meegans (and mine) work, and has been pawning it off as her own for some time. There are people that actually are attributing what we did as this..persons. I know when this... 'person' borrowed our creation, and I remember the first time I saw her claim it as her own. She did so when she knew Meegan would not be there to gainsay her (and I wasn't allowed to speak, even though any of them felt free to interrupt me). I was in shock, but did tell Meegan about it. She said "Let her, she is a coward and proved it."
