Vintage 1950's cold ceramic molds, plaster molds, no tv, company coming, how old are they?

I hate DST! I'm Ok  with waking up at 4 am.  I'm not OK with waking up at 3 am.  And I mean WIDE AWAKE.   So, I guess I will blog now and nap later cuz there is no way I will make it til 10 pm  without a nap.
We have company coming.  Jimmy's sister and niece will be here this weekend.  This niece is around 10.  I know... I'm a bad aunt!  I have no idea how old my nieces and nephew actually are.  In my head I judge their ages by...Eyes on them at all times (0-5). Can be in other room or just outside but must be able to hear them at all time (6-8)  Check on them every 15 or 20 minutes  but don't let them know you are checking (9-11) .  Can be trusted  unsupervised for up to 2 hours as long as  they are  not allowed to get bored (12)  In their room with the door shut (13-15)   "no you cant have the keys to the car (16-17)  Seriously? You're graduating?  How did I get that old? (18).
I'm a bit worried that the niece will be at loose ends.  Jimmy and I gave up TV  3 years ago so, that entertainment option is out.  They are coming from Vegas so I'm sure cold, dark and rainy will be a bit of shock.  Last time they were here  temps were in the low 60's and Jimmy's sister was turning blue.  Jimmy's sister said that the niece just wants to  do art and play with the chickens.   Art I got!  So,  over the next couple of days I will get various projects organized  and prepped.  I recently acquired my grandmothers cold (plaster) ceramic molds from the 50' and 60's.  These things are so cool!  1960's wall hanging bathroom fish and seahorses.  Fighting cocks and fruit  for  the kitchen AND 1960's ballerina's!  I already  have about a dozen  of them made up.     I remember my grandmother painting them with enamel model paint.    I did two test pieces...one with enamel and the other with  modern  acrylic 'craft' paint.  Enamel is the way to go.  Gives them that authentic  vintage  look.  They are really fun to do  so I imagine many of them will wind up on Etsy cuz really?  How much ceramic fruit can you have in your kitchen?  Feral Jane has requested a pair of fighting cocks so I will be making  at least two sets of those. One set for her and one set for me.  Hopefully the niece will find them as entertaining as I do.  I will also  pull out some fabric for aunt marthas iron on transfers so she can do some fabric painting.  There is always  classic painting. I will set up an easel for her .  Maybe even a lesson in print making.  Then of course there is cleaning.  I looked around yesterday and there are bits and pieces of  projects all over the house. Sewing, crochet,  ACEO's, canning jars, fabric paints, books....every where... books!  I will be spending the next few days   putting books back on shelves, canning jars in the garage, art supplies and paintings  in the studio, fabric in the trunk,  costumes in the closet (these were all dug for a last minute job this week that required grab,pack,go).   It occurs to me that 'normal people' just have to dust, vacuum and change the sheets on the guest bed.

Two roosters, feminist chickens, feed dispenser , sensitive but co-operative

The guy didn't show up last  week to fix the  broken heat pump so I'm cold and grumpy.  I've been trying to avoid a root canal for a couple of weeks  but, after yesterdays x-rays, its looks like it has to happen anyway.  My own dentist  wont do it cause its a molar, so he is sending me to a 'specialist'. Or so he says.... I  think he's  mad at me cuz I threw up on him the last time he  was drilling for oil in my mouth.  On my referral scrip he wrote  'sensitive but co-operative'.  Of course I'm sensitive. I'm an artist!
I'm an artist with two roosters.  Yep its official. The gigantic blue laced red wyandotte is a boy.  I saw him crow and shortly after than he and Gannicus  got into it!   Feathers everywhere!   While it looked like Gannicus got the worse end of it  my little silkie roo is holding his own and does not seem to be at all intimidated by  the bigger guy.  Surprisingly , its pretty quiet at Mystic Cedars .  Maybe its because they have a whole acre to avoid each other on.  And also because  they are not fighting over the girls.  My girls are quintessential modern females. They are choosing for themselves which rooster to allow to protect them.   All but one that is.  The blue laced blue wyandotte has given both of them the little chicken finger.  I guess she has decided that if she can   keep the cat in line she doesn't need a rooster.   Poor little Michealetto. He was napping in the sun  when she jumped on his head and bit him on the butt.  Just to bring her point home, she followed him around for 10 minutes  with a chunk of cat hair hanging out of her mouth.  That girl is not to be messed with! 
The girls (and boys) are all happy to be free ranging again.  Our summer long battle with vent gleet disappeared  as soon as we let them out to wander as they please.
Jimmy is working some long hours these days.  I kind of miss him.... but I kind of don't. Let me 'splain.  When my dear love is hanging around the house... I don't get anything done!  When he's working I gets lots of things done.    Why don't I get anything done?  Please refer to my $10,000 tea towels post  http://artisanlifestyle.blogspot.com/2012/05/rip-hash-killing-monster-10000-tea.html
When he's bored he hovers!   Sometimes that is a good thing like when his hovering resulted in google stew.  But most of the time his hovering results in us  sitting around  bickering over  how to proceed or...more likely.... getting into a conversation that has nothing to do with the topic at hand.   Which is why I'm not going to tell him about my latest community oriented idea.  All the neighbors and school kids hang over the fence and   delight at the chicken  antics and they all want to feed them.  I have decided to  put in  one of those  petting zoo feed dispensers next to the fence.  I'm currently keeping an eye out for a cheap or free , not plastic, candy/gumball  dispenser.  While I am community minded,  there is only so much  that I am willing to spend on other peoples 6 year olds.   I'm not dropping bank on a high end feed dispenser.   If I hang out on craig's list long enough I'm sure I will find one that meets my criteria.
