If you like wire, I’ve got wire today! If you like dogs, I have dogs today! And if you like a bit of anarchy, I have that too. In other words, I have a lot of small topics, none enough to make a full blog post.
Let’s start with Ms. Nilla. It looks as if she has a Forever Family! They are driving up from Florida to come meet her. She’s had a day running around in the snow, which tires out a young woman. Isn’t she sweet, asleep on the futon? 
Some wonderful folks are driving in from out of state to visit Ms. Nilla, and if they all like each other, Nilla will have a wonderful life with a lovely family.
Meanwhile, a bit of wireworking; I had fun with fibulae. Here’s a heart fibula made to the tutorial created by the talented and thoughtful JewlieBeads. 
I also made a sterling silver fibula for a friend who loves purple. Making both the bead and the fibula were fun. 
Finally, a bit of real world anarchy. At work, my dean needs faculty to post our office hours on or near our office doors. This is a requirement. It is perfectly reasonable. However, the building rules state that one cannot tape or pin anything to the doors or walls. Now, a close inspection reveals these directives to be mutually incompatible. Hence my solution. 
For some reason hanging pictures seems to not be a problem for the building maintenance officer. So I got a bland picture in a light plastic frame from a friend who is decluttering. It hangs on the wall; my office hours are taped to it. It is light enough to be hung from the ceiling tracks with fishing line should pictures eventually be a problem. Hence I can NOT tape anything to my door or the walls and I can still fulfill my obligations. Mind you, I fully support keeping the walls nice and neat, preserving the paint, and reducing maintenance costs. However, then the building manager needs to come up with a solution for the office-hour and student information dilemma. Until then? I will remain my cooperatively anarchichal self.
