I hope it was her birthday I'm pretty sure it was Joan Joan's like yeah you're not crazy it was her birthday so yay okay so I'm just

seeing um Hey listen I did add my name to the the juwel loom um YouTube uh

Channel and so I just looked over and it says J juul Loom Juliana so I just kind of wanted to make sure that my personal

brand being me is showing up on uh on the Channel

and so hey Brenda hey hery hey Maria Maria was in line of course such a good

student ready pounding on the door let me in let me in Cynthia is in the house

so much fun to see everybody I feel like this last week went by really really quick what do you think I mean it's like

boom bada bing and we're all here uh for juel Loom School live and uh and so yeah

f last week I really just wanted to do something kind of I've been I've been

I've been working a lot people let me just say oh my gosh good stuff fun stuff

I've got shows coming up March and April are just like Non-Stop and then I almost

just committed to go to a show in Chicago like it would have been like boom boom boom in April and I have to

know just what my limits are and So currently I'm not going to do that but

everything else is keeping me very busy I'm it and it's all for you I've been working day in and day out on the Papa

Joe uh kit that Brandy and I have been designing together and so I've been

working with a color palette that I wanted to play around with to see if it would work and um and so we're really

happy with some of the colors and then some of them we feel like they need to be a little bit more poppy so I'm going

to be trying some different things um probably this evening and what will be really fun is

that I'm going to leave the Prototype on the loom I'm gonna finish

it and so you'll be able to kind of see the trans transition of like um the

design process and again this project coming up for Creative soul in May is

the Papa Joe project that's my father who we you know some of you may or may not know that um you know we went to

heaven in uh December December 18th and so it's almost been three months now it's still just kind of like so bizarre

I don't I don't know that it ever you know like do you ever I don't know I think it takes I

think it's a lifetime of healing right but it's all good I know I know where he's at so I'm all I'm all good with

that so I've been very busy with that and um I just thought well what are we going to do today I thought let's break

out the small wisdom Warrior I just love her she's so sturdy and strong

and she's you know she's the little little sis to the big large wisdom Warrior that's so popular with hatbands

and chokers and you know things that are longer than a bracelet um but the small

wisdom Warrior is perfect for bracelets and um you know multiples like if you're

going to do multiple earrings or Rings or something like that and she just pretty to look at so small wisdom Warrior um working

with one millimeter hemp from of course my favorite hemp teak which I'm super

stoked I get to see them at the Napa show coming up here in two weeks whoa I

just finally ordered my business cards and I had to pay priority to make sure that they get here did I not know that I

was going to the show for at least the last three or four months yes did I stop

to order business cards no so oh well that's what you get it wasn't that bad

it was like 129 9999 $12.99 so I'm not uh I'm not too worried

about it yeah Mel we miss you and you're welcome to come back anytime that goes for any creative Soul member um you know

you're it's always been that you know you can subscribe to make sure that you

get every month in case you know sometimes I might only have a certain

amount of something um but you don't have to and so you can pay as you go and

so um I love that freedom and I think that's a good thing so yeah so again so

I'm going to see hemptique uh in a couple weeks there at the NAA show in no

oans uh never been so I'm super excited about that they are introducing some new

products I heard that they've got some leather and of course you know they have all the gorgeous hemp cord that we love

and so I'm excited to uh talk to them and see what's going on see you know

what we can do in the future and good stuff like that not only am I going to work with the 5mm sparkly green AB

yumminess here okay I did decide to go ahead whoa and

pull God I got sounds in the background I did decide to go ahead and play around

with the 12 strand 5mm fire polish set now if I'm not not

mistaken I want to say that it's like

it's either n something or 10 I can't remember but it's if I'm not mistaken

less than a dollar a strand something like that a dollar I don't know it's a great price so I'm

gonna be working with those guys um brought out my Wildfire

.006 Green wildfire love Wildfire I basically

have only used that like I think I've used Nyo and or the G you know that

stuff's really cool but it's it's expensive um but Wildfire just always

does it for me when it comes to working on the loan like I can pretty much say

that I have always been faithful to that and

so that's my that's my little my little Spiel Kelly says hello

friends I was thinking about you today I'm always thinking about Kelly Kelly's a cool chick she's an an Oregon origon I

don't know what yall call yourselves anyway she's super cool um

great designer does a lot of shows shows her work um and you know she's just got

like a lot of heart and a lot of passion and a lot of real life experiences that

like come through her art and so I I love that about makers diyers jewelry

people creators you know when it comes from inside and you're just like

flushing it out through your art it's it just means so

much ah you're blessing okay what else am I using um

yeah so the jewel loom needle fire polish it's a pretty simple project I am

using the Kiss Me I'm Irish button in the end um this is part of the St Pat do

we call it St Patty St Patty's um Irish set I will tell you that I did

attempt hey you know what I don't cover up my faux Paws because how are you ever going to

know so so I thought it would be really fun to use the Royal Talons paints that

they sent me for my project for NTA on the charms and it's a very very cool

process I have to say that the black acrylic is like unbelievably delicious like it's

so um you can feel and see the richness

of the black acrylic um but anyway so there's my little lucky charm hat and so

basically you have to paint like all these pieces black right like I did on my tags I painted my Baltic Birch tags

black and then you use the pearls right to go over that and it's

super super beautiful I mean it's it's unbelievably

gorgeous but it's a little more fun than humans are allowed to have if you're trying to do them on the

charms but you can you just need to like that needs to be your thing for the

afternoon and let me just say that I had black paint everywhere and I was like

okay we got to put the black paint away and uh so yeah but anyway I think it's a

lot of fun I know Mel you bought the paints um from your Canada Michaels

craft store so I'm not too sure if you've used them and she says now I know what to do with them since I have the

paint well there you go so my suggestion definitely would be you know

toothpicks uh tweezers and and uh yeah Kelly it was

it's a lot of fun it really really is and it's just it's really gorgeous you just have to be patient because our

charms are really small but you know when you start with the black acrylic and then you put um

the Pearl so what happens is like this comes out pure like a white color

and then you could see that it's like a like a purple pink type of color it's

probably gotting probably get a name except I'm not going to be able to anyway so when you then when you

brush that over the black that's where all the magic happens so yeah it's so so

pretty and um you know I could see you know doing it on on bigger pieces like

you know if you wanted to make your new oh did you see the new tassel set little interjection there um you know if you

wanted to paint you know the tassels or whatever like you could totally do that but I had a lot of fun and I really felt

like I could just kind of like come out of my you know my box and be creative and explore so really good stuff that's

the Royal Talons we've talked about them a few times so without further Ado I'm

going to go ahead and warp my small wisdom Warrior and again I'm using the 1

mm um hemp Co cord and so I'll push this screen back a

little bit and I guess Joan if you

wanna there we go okay so let's just look at the small wisdom Warrior this is

her top okay and this is the top button and

then if you go all the way down to the bottom this is the Bottom now is there

really a difference between the top and the bottom no it's just the artwork

right so it's just that we refer to this as the top because well she's not upside

down so but you could work with it in any direction you could even work from uh with her side to side so I'm gonna

see if I can't bring this up just to smidge we're always trying to get super

low but for this let me see if I can't okay so what I'm going to do so

this is my top and I've got the 1 mm hemp cord this is hemptique H it's a

sustainable uh hemp cord that we really enjoy using and I'm just going to make

you could see like the little little loopy that I made and then I'm just going to attach that to the

knob and get that as tight as I can and then I'm going to do another one and

just like with the original jewel loom or any one of the other Looms I want to make sure that that knot is facing me

okay so this is my pointer and I'm pointing towards my body and I want to make sure that that knot is facing me

okay because that's going to keep um the tension it's going to help with the warp

that very first warp not sliding now the grid the Grid on both the original blue

jewel loom and these wisdom Warriors they're built out for and when I say

grid you know grooves I'm talking about this area right here so they're built

they're designed for beaing thread like wildfire okay something thin so when

we're working with a 1 mimer cord it's basically just going to lay on the grid

okay it's not going to fit into these little grooves it's way too thick this is a 1 mm so I'm just going to bring it

down all the way here to the bottom running out of running out of room and

I'm just let me scooch just gonna eyeball and I can see

like that looks pretty let me get in the camera here so sorry there we go okay so

I can see that I'm lined up pretty well I'm going to go around the button so let

me give you some sense of direction let me get my pointer okay this side is the

left and this side where my thumb is is the

right okay and this is closest to my body this bottom button and what I'm

going to do is I'm just going to wrap it around I like to always do that first warp around the button um it just tends

to help in the process of keeping the warps nice and taut then I'm going to

bring it up and I'm always working with my fing fers to help keep

[Laughter] oh there we

go so I'm always working Joan's working with her fingers back there

too touching buttons so I'm just gonna um let's see for five millimeter I think

I want to skip I think it's two or three we'll go back and look at that because I don't want to lose the The

View because I'm kind of at an angle here so see how that looks just want you

to get a really good idea and then I'm always you know working with my thumb

here to kind of keep things in place and then I'm going to come all the

way up and I'm just I could use like a a bigger table

here okay and then let's come here and we're going to and let me just bring in a 5 mm bead

here so let's see yeah that's going to work so it's about let's see one two it's like three

three grooves okay so I'm there I am

okay and you see how I've been holding that with my pointer okay so I'm I'm really keeping

the pressure and the totness and I'm coming around the back side of the button

up and then again I'm going to use my pointer see how it gets in there that's my finger and I'm just going to help

guide it and lay it down on top of those grooves okay and then again we're going

to come all the way down and where we at okay and then I'm

going to come around and then I'm G to come back up now I'm working with three beads whoops

I want to see I want to make sure you saw that hold on see look how oh that's so good so I'm working with three beads

across so I need four warps so this is going to be my fourth okay so here we are at the top

all right and then again I'm just going to help to secure that with my pointer

and I'm going to come around the back of the button keeping it nice and taut wrap

around again looks like I've got a pretty long tail so I'll just wrap it around a few times and then I'm going to

turn the loom so that it's closest to me so

afraid I'm going to lose my computer here hold on I've got way too many way too many things on my

table uh

oh let's see I'm not sure what happened

Jules are you there she'll be she'll be coming back

shortly

hey guys okay so I'm not exactly sure can you hear me did we just lose my uh

we lost my phone so that's really bizarre

um we lost your phone before we lost your [Laughter]

face oh my God okay let's see did it come

back so just so you know we are in um we have

uh fighter jets flying overhead and um and so who

knows what they're what they're doing or what's happening so uh a lot of that because I

was actually connected to my phone and I got kicked off of that so I don't even know where my phone is right now um I'm

trying not to lose my I'm in the same position I was in before we before we um

I lost you so bear with me for one second here I think what I want to do just so that I don't lose

my seriously technology what is going on okay so what I'm going to do is when

we got cut off I literally was in this position and I haven't changed so um I

just need to tie off you know that's where I'm at I just need to find the end of my hemp cord and I just um I need to

you know get it under here and secure it and you know my thing

is just just get it done right whoops except for don't distort your

warps Jews come on

Mama everything is fixable there we go Okay so so um so yeah so I'm just going

to come and do this a couple of times and all right and let's see what's going

on with the phone here hold on one quick second I'm just G to come back

up so funny okay so it literally took me

off mute okay are we yeah okay we're

back okay so we're going to there we go and let me get my my

stuff all right well that was fun okay so these are these green beads are the

green beads that I showed in the original image for today's

show um I'm wanting to mix it up and add some of

the 5 mimer polish from the really good 12 strand bag and I definitely had my

eye on that blue and I think it was this blue I mean look how pretty that is I think that

would look really gorgeous together so this is two strands and these are two strands I'll

get these out of the way and for my wrist a 6 in wrist that

will four strands would be good so you know with that with that one

package that I'm referring to you would be able to make like three bracelets so that's pretty pretty good

right pretty good for what $10 or

something well we got one that doesn't want to come off hold

on yeah so yesterday we just had rain and rain and rain again and so so the

interwebs are wet the lines are wet right is that sound

good sound like a good excuse It's been a weird week technology

Right Way ways right wise Facebook and Instagram down and

that was that was a little crazy okay so what I'm going to do I've got my little

pile and I've got my wisdom Warrior ready to go it looks like she moved a little bit

when I tied her I'm not g to I'll squeeze that bead in there okay so

I'm just going to take um the end of my Wildfire and I'm just going to do a

little just a little loose

knot okay and I'm starting with everything in my left hand so let me

just show you this is my left hand okay and over here is the right side of the Loom so I'm going to come under the

warps and I'm going to pick up three of the beads so I'll just do like an

alternating pickup I'm not going to like get all crazy about a pattern but you

certainly could and then I'm just going to pop these up in between the

warps and then I'm taking the needle and I'm going on top of the hemp

cord and then all the way through and then I just like to help

guide the Wildfire so that it doesn't get tangled up with anything okay and on

my first row I like to go back under in

through those beads just to really give it a nice little secure

um weave so I like to do that on the first row and the last

row and now I'll just go back on the top and it's going to get a little tight because the the one millimeter hemp is

very thick but I love love love that okay so this time I'm going to come under

again and I'll just switch and I'll go light blue transparent and

green and these bracelets come together so quickly you know like if you're um

wanting something for your table at your craft show uh

Boutique these are you know really simple fast bracelets for a really great

price that $20 bill these are the this is a $20 bill right

here right you don't got to give anybody change just

$20 put it in a cute little bag and call it a day

what has it been the large amount of sunspot activity oo that's very

technical Joan is that a eagle thing

no have you been watching the eagle that's in a nest somewhere and she keeps talking to her mate and I

think she's sitting on an egg or something Have you seen that Joan

there's one that's near not far from you at Big Bear that um first time she ever laid three eggs oh maybe that's it yeah

Jackie and Shadow Jackie and Shadow I knew you would okay so while I'm making

pretty cool I've been following them since before he was her mate because he just like he came one day and decided

her neest was a mess he started cleaning it up and she threw a fit stop it stop

it are you is that and he kept coming back every day and she yelling at him and he ignored kept cleaning her

nest oh my God to be honest so we think because they do look a lot alike except

for being male and female we think they're brother and sister and they both hatched in that Nest

oh that is so incredibly bizarre okay so how how does this can we have a little

biology uh course while I'm while I'm beating so uh so when she lays the

eggs it does I mean but then does he have to like does he do something oh

yeah they um have he he's on her back and they touch you know they have to

swish their tails out of the way and they touch their you know behinds together if they don't do that then

she's not gonna get pregnant or she not gonna her eggs aren't going to get fertilized it's the same way with

all birds so oh my God that's so fascinating okay so this guy shows up to

clean house and he even had a baby in the nest I mean he wasn't real young he was getting ready to fly and he didn't

want him touching his pine cones oh the whole thing was hilarious

and we thought he was mute for like two months he wouldn't say a word for two months oh my God God okay so these guys

this is Jackie and shadow shadow yeah and there's three eggs being tended to

right he's really good cha Shadow is the dad Shadow's the daddy yeah and he's

he's a good daddy and he's like so they did their business and we think we're gonna have three hatch EGS well I saw a

thing on YouTube right before we came on that there's a news report they not sure if the first egg will hatch oh is that

normal because it's already um I mean it's considered a successful

season as long as one actually starts flying even there three but it I was

scared of three because for some reason the resources are out there bad oh and

and there's been a couple that died of the cold weather and stuff yeah okay well I mean so made me nervous them if

they had three I hate seeing babies die oh please I'm such a I know I can't even

stand yeah knowing that is just making my heart s um so so what happens to the

third egg if it doesn't hatch do they like it do they eat it some do some don't they'll try to

bury it in the nest unless the eaglet decides I mean they won't decide for

quite a while probably at least a month that it doesn't work you know it won't hatch the Eagles themselves and

sometimes the eaglets consider it theirs and they start getting mad at the parents if the Parents try to bury it or do something

with it so do you know so this month as you do know uh there are owls in the

creative Soul kit uh what did I just do yeah oh look it I'm getting all excited

that I didn't do okay hold on let me repair whatever

the heck I just did what I just did do oh I didn't go through this I didn't go

through that okay see what happens when you get excit excited about talking about oh no I really screwed up hold on

all right I got all excited about Shadow and

Jackie we could talk in the background let me do that

okay you can still hear me right I can still hear you but I need to figure out what in the BB I just did okay I got to

come up here and then I got to go through okay I just yeah I got super

excited about Shadow and Jackie and babies and okay so do

owl's uh nest and you know like are they as similar do they do

they yeah are they like eagles different out Nest different

okay Great Horn owls are known for stealing others nests they won't build their own and in fact they have been

known to watch Like an Eagle or Hawk build a nest and they'll sneak in there at night and lay their eggs in it you

have got to be kidding me no they I'm not this is just Great Horn house not the other Great Horn house yeah the

biggest ones in the United States the biggest ones in the United States are so stinking lazy that they will literally

steal an eagle build its nest and then have the audacity to go they're

squatters yeah they'll yeah they'll do it to Hawks too

they'll do it to Hawks too wow they'll do it to a hawk wow what can I mean like

do the so who's the strongest bird I mean is the eagle gonna come and like

kill the owl I mean is the owl strong they F they'll fight this owl is

sneakier about it because he will come he or she will come and knock an eagle

out of the tree when he's sleeping at night you got to be kidding me as far as

the um grip of their talons the eagle is stronger I think at

Eagles is a th000 pounds per inch and um Great Horn owls an 800 pounds per inch

but the Great Horn Owl is nastier wow a gry Horn Owl can break an equals

back with his geeeez and I thought owls were so stinking sweet I guess not huh no this

is great hord owls I love all other Owls Great Horn owls gives me the creeps all

right so just they've always gave me the creeps wow well I mean I'm creeping out

now too I mean so very interesting okay Mel says

that she saw what did she say Jones she saw a white out oh okay

there's um if it's in the winter time it could be an um a snowy owl but then Barn

ows can also look most you know there are a few that are white I love barnow

and snowy ows those those are my two favorite super cute so I like their eyes are like great

big discs oh my gosh you know I what do what kind of an owl do you think that is that

um I mean I didn't even ask I just said make an ow please I was thinking I think

I mean I was looking at it before the show and I kept thinking I I think it's a Great Horn Owl oh great so we got a

naughty owl let me look at the other owls and see if I could come up with one that looks like it that's so funny okay

because now Eastern I love Eastern scree house they're little tiny things they're only

like four ounces and they're so but they look similar people think their babies a

Great Horn Owl so we could always say it's a Eastern screen show oh okay

that's so funny how many um how many years now

have you been studying the feathery friends I

started December 2016

okay yeah I mean it's mostly um Eagles at first and then you know getting into

the other ones Eagles and ospre and then you know it just kept getting more and more and then when I moved here of

course and that's when I started seeing the all the other ones and I kept wanting to read up on them oh wow

because we have a really large you know um bird of prey population here oh um

yeah and bird watching is like a thing like oh yeah yeah like people it's

a okay and this is another thing if you're out like like by a river or you know any body of water and you see

photographers unless they're really snoody you know go up and ask some questions what you looking at or

whatever because you know that that's a good way to get information on what what they're

seeing birds are in the area right no that's very

um that's very cool fishermen too fishermen will know like especially if Eagle oh yeah there's eagle nest right

over there yeah yeah oh the fisherman

oh almost almost did the opposite I feel like there's something in this one did it fall out wow that's

really cool thanks because I I was watching um on the Tik Tok I saw Jackie

and Shadow yeah I I've loved them I started following them like I said that first

year actually probably was 2006 17 you know yeah within my first year because

it was just so cool because Shadow is only like four years old is that's one year before

maturity oh all right an eagle doesn't I mean a bald eagle doesn't look like a

bald eagle until they get to be about four years old and then they no really

what do they look like before they look like a bald eagle they could during their first year

they could be mistaken for a golden eagle you know the ones in their first year and then they start changing colors

and patterns and no two look alike but they usually stay Brown to like a creamy

color until they start getting their white usually after their third year

okay did I ever tell you about the dream I had about eagles no it was so crazy so

I go into this room and there's like I don't know a

dozen half a dozen to a dozen Eagles but they're all like they're um

uh you know like say that they're like caricature like you know and they're all

different they all have like this different attitude they all have like different you know feathers they're you

know they're all fancy um and I just remember waking up thinking about these

Eagles and how they were all so different it was just like one of those really profound like gosh what did that

mean well you know I think this is the same for any um animal especially anybody who own pets every animal also

has their own personality yes and and you know when you're observing Eagles especially if you're watching them on

camera and there's a nest here that I observed that's actually three adults it's two females and a male and um it is

so fun watching them the two females spoil the male because he doesn't want any other eagles but those two around

him or any he's raising he's a really good dad very protective but once they leave home don't come mess

with him again okay I gotta get I got to get a grip on this there's two

grown adult female Eagles and one male

Eagle uhuh and he do they all live in the same nest oh

yeah in fact so they're like in a they're like in a multi-level condo no

they're all the same m one level and what it is that the older female is a

lot older and I really think she brought in this younger female because they act a lot alike you know they're both very

caring and they both teach the Young Eagles when they come through it's really fascinating to watch them because

they're different than any other eagles I've seen and they um

um well the older female seems to like me because she comes um flies around

above me circles around me to say hi until I say hi and let her know how pretty she is a that so cute and U the

other one's protective of her and the older one now has arthritis in her feet really bad so that means she can't catch

fish very well and we notice that both the male and the younger female take fish back to the nest a lot so they're

taking it to her you know this is when there's no eggs or babies wow so they're very Community very family well maybe

not Community but they're definitely very family oriented they all only hang out with each other unless you know

they're a bonded couple they'll only hang out with each other outside of nesting season but once they start

getting the nest ready to get they'll ever another Eagle better not come approach their nest

Wow girlfriend I did not know this about eagles I just saw you know I don't even

know thought I mean I know they're Majestic and I know that you know they're like you know we love Eagles but I couldn't

tell you why but this is fascinating the way that they take care of each other is pretty pretty incredible yeah because

there was one the first well like we call them Trio Nest the first Trio Nest I ever seene was actually near Fon

Illinois along near the Mississippi River and that one had two males and a

female and the first year I was watching it the female was killed by another Eagle because another Eagle pair was

trying to take over the nest so the Two Dads raised the babies by themselves and everybody kept saying it wouldn't you know they wouldn't be able to do it

they'll abandon the babies but they did an excellent job oh my God that is so

and they found a a new mate for the next year and they stayed together for about three or four years but it got to be

where one of the Eagles was doing all the work but does didn't get to spend time with the babies and he finally went

and got a new mate what yeah he was doing s like a reality

TV show I mean but if you said it you know the people who officially I mean they thought they

owned the nest but they didn't they got mad at me when I was saying that and I said you can't tell me anything

different because I was recording this nest and I was watching and you can't even answer questions about that Nest

yeah so nener nener

yeah don't take away my uh and I had an official Eagle place kind of back me up

on that too you know a a big organization that's so funny hey I just

want to point out that I ran out of a thread and I just added more to my

needle and you might have seen how I smooshed the end with the flat nose pliers look I still have black paint

under my fingernails um that helps to get it through the eye of the jewel loom needle just just a little thing there um

and then what I'm going to do to get going again is I'm just going to come from the left side

and out the right not too far and then back um

through the last row that I just finished so I didn't I didn't um I

didn't calculate correctly that's okay um so

what I'm going to do is just like multiple rows of green and I think it's actually going to be really pretty

because it'll be either at the end or the beginning so I don't know let's do

it and just go with it and see see how fun it looks so anyway sorry

Joan I just wanted to make sure everybody knew where where getting tired of me rattling on so I was gonna stop

and get off I find it fascinating I think it's great to beat and learn and

you know it's kind of like when we're together in real life we're talking about we're talking about our lives

right and like what's going on in the world and and I think it's funny how these two Eagles

Jackie and and Shadow have captivated um you know they've captivated the

attention of of us humans and we get to have uh the honor of having our Joan

know so much and she um actually I the last

couple years or maybe out of the last three years there's two years they didn't have um any eaglets because um

one year the Raven got them a actually I think two years Ravens got

them like that they're being real cautious the second time but the the you

know got the eggs and ate them and the second time the Arabians got real sneaky lared them from the nest because they're

being really pesty and then another one came in and ate them while they're you know chasing away those Ravens are

naughty yeah so I hope they have a successful year this year I hope so too

everyone's going to be a little heartbroken if they don't yeah wow so tell me how did they get what is it a go

camera or a GoPro or something that's like how are they filming all of this so and I

mean um do you know I'm not sure there I'm not really positive there I know

there's a group called friends the uh big bear eagle nest or something oh okay

but they also the um you know the Eagles on Channel Islands out there yeah that's

by me yeah well he just retired last year but the doctor that you know got

you know re the bald eagles repopulated in California okay that was done with

the help of um of um the San Francisco Zoo um he would go up in the nests every

year and ban them to keep track of them to make sure they were okay you know and see and so they have a genealogy of all

those Eagles out there and he also did the Big Bear since it was so close yeah we

have yeah there's some cool things like that they um there's people who also

track the orcas and they have family names for for the orcas and um they know

the pods so like they can identify the Pod of orcas as they're

traveling you know through our area you know to wherever they may be going and

you know in San Francisco and what have you and I just find it fascinating that

they can that there's distinctive uh ways that they act and

behave that they can um you know that they can they can identify I mean I just

think it's incredible well you want to hear something really cool too about the California ones you know after they were

done repopulating the islands and let them do it on their own the Eagles that were at the zoo that

was El the a eggs you know and um hatching the eaglets and stuff for that

they were sent here they were sent to Dollywood and

American Eagle Foundation which you know um Dollywood supports you know is the biggest supporter of American Eagle

foundation and um so the then when they started having babies here now their brothers and sisters are out here their

relatives see one of them had their own Eagle Cam and I see her a lot she flies around her

territory is downtown Seville oh so cool yeah so and she likes hanging

out at the golf course wow wow It it's fascinating because you

know they're just they're so smart these animals okay so I kind of love my little

unplanned situation where it just kind of the last several rows are solid a

green look how pretty that is I love that I love that you stuck with the blue

mostly through the middle yeah no it's just a it's just a an unplanned random pattern that wasn't um

planned out and so I love that okay so I'm gonna go

under this last

row or at least I'm going to try I just like to have that

extra ump there we

go yeah that's all really fascinating they had a picture of a an old Orca

Grandma they call her she's a grandom and she took out a white

shark oh wow yeah so they never used to

think that the orcas would be aggressive like that I guess with the whites the white sharks

but um yeah well I wonder if they're just like some other creatures too where

they just get fed up with it and they finally just lash out yeah yeah I don't know I don't know but

it's I can see that happen because I've seen it with other animals you wouldn't think would attack another one but they just get so fed up with it

yeah I don't know I mean I I certainly I love being on the water I'm

not I'm not in the water um p in the ocean but I do find sharks to be

incredibly fascinating I mean I I do think that they're incredible um animals

and of course the orcas are just like unbelievable L intelligent and you know

the whales like I just I love all things you know in the sea um the Dolphins and

what have you oh I know I love seeing the Dolphins when we go stay on the coast and then when we lived up in New

England we would go to Plymouth Massachusetts take a whale Bo we did that several times you know whale

watching but one time this guy was um on there and they they said he was a

researcher uh for sharks and so he stand on by himself and I went you know I went

over to him to ask him some questions and a shark went right in front of us

right underneath the boat it was so cool to be right next to him he got so excited because he really didn't think he'd see a shark but he was hoping to

oh yeah I have seen one when I was well it's a long story I don't want to share

but anyway I have had one a good sighting of one

okay so okay super fun now what I'm going to do is um I'm just going to trim these

guys and then I'll use the

burner okay I got one bead left I'm going to scooch that

over so this is just the basic um sometimes if I can figure out how to untie this mess I will I mean it doesn't

it doesn't make a difference whether you cut it or untie it I

mean unless you think you want to I don't know do

something so we'll just go ahead and try

that so pretty I want to grab the Wildfire burner hold on one quick second

here I love this

thing so I'll just like be really careful and I'll I'll um

turn it into like a little ball but I try to get it short so that I

can still see

okay oh another straggler

there

I think I'm just going to do let's see let's get a little bit of a tie on these

so I'm just going to grab the two

warps super cool I'm actually digging that like it was totally unplanned but I

really dig

that okay and then since this is my short end I'm going to use it for my

button and sometimes if my if my warps are long

enough I'll try to crisscross over but they're pretty short so I think I'm just

going to do like a knot and it looks fun you know so I'll just do

this and I don't ever cut these ends until I know for sure that it fits

correctly so we'll get this come on buddy

okay we'll just start from the beginning there we

go there we go okay so we'll just leave that want to make sure I didn't go too

tight okay so let's see where we're at oh oh my god

seriously look how gorgeous that is super super pretty okay so then and

then we're just going to come over here and do a fitting so spread those

too and yep that looks [Music] good so don't want to lose

that

okay let's see now clean that up I just want to make sure it's the right

size yes it

is those colors together are so stinking beautiful

so pretty yay all right and then what I'll do is I

can just come back um

whoops I just want to make sure this is nice and

taut I may put a dab of white glue in there for Giggles so I'm going to leave that long for right now

but gorgeous I really like that so it's like

a thick it's just like several rows of the same color but it's hard to really

you don't like really see that because of the ab right so it's just really really pretty enchanting yes it's very

enchanting a I love it okay so um I do

what do I want to do let's see so I think yeah I showed

these in the beginning that you know basically you know it'd be fun to play

around with but they're so tiny the little charms to get them painted I

would have I definitely would have paint brushes because it was just too hard to

use the foam brush but again all I did was you know I painted them black and

then this is the pearls so it's really super

pretty so yay look at how fast that was I'm going to remove

this so how do we like those uh that the bird stories thanks Joan that was really

good stuff yeah that was really really good so yeah let's

see I really really like that that could be like a fun necklace

too or even like a cool pattern for a choker that would be cool nice nice nice

nice okay um good stuff yeah if you don't have the

small wisdom Warrior I highly recommend her such a Powerhouse you know really

nice and sturdy so some people really enjoy that and

um yeah so busy week and I hope that just kind of inspired you to do

something fun and take advantage of those 5 millimeter 5 millimeter little

packs I actually really like that a lot sometimes the unplan things end up

being really really the best right

so yeah I like the I like the uh fascin ating conversation while we're beating

because we um you know when we're you know together then everybody's like

around a table and we're sharing stories and stuff and so I really like that

added element I think we need to find like more more interesting animals to to

follow Joan we need more stories will you bring us more let me

can you come on I'm gonna bring no um there you are okay wait thise okay you can hear me

okay yeah I mean I'm mostly follow Birds I know some other things but it's only my own personal

observations well like I was telling Jenny I said one of my favorite memories is an elk female elk walking right up to

me there's only a Pioneer fence in between us and it was in the Smoky Mountains and so they always say say 50

yards away but since she walked up to me they did didn't I didn't get in trouble for it

oh you know and the people who walk up to the buffalos I mean come on oh no I

mean if a bear tried to walk up to me I would take I mean I would get I with the

black bears you want to walk backwards you don't want to show Fear oh okay you know and just make B and be noisy yeah

but the grizzly and don't play dead don't play dead with what either bear

don't play dead black bears don't play see you as a food source okay but

I'm to walk backwards with the black bear walk backwards yeah and what do I do with a

Grizzly run

pray pray yeah run I wouldn't even stand

still well folks it's Jew Loom we

uh animal education it's good stuff it's good stuff Story

Time good stories thanks Joan I really I everyone really loved that I think that was really

fun yeah well keep us updated on Shadow and Jackie and we'll find out more about

their their their lovely family next week okay yeah U surely if the first egg

doesn't um have the other two will be hatched by next Thursday oh wow okay

well because they L three days apart okay they um but they also um they

do what they call delayed Inu incubation so they can try to hatch clo together

oh it makes it easier because the older eaglets are aggressive to the younger eaglets so if they're closer in age

they're also closer in size yeah there's been known to be sibling side you know

the God yeah it's pretty vicious and it yeah you know because they're predators and

yes they are we miss remember they're animals and that is their natural their natural Jam so wow
