Well anyway, it sounded good at the time…
What could I have been thinking…
Fourteen unrelated seminars/workshops in 10 days…. (In five different venues)
What could I have been thinking…
The truth is, I love this sort of drama and intensity, except when things outside my control call at me like family commitments and yard/house disasters. In spite of the stupidity of booking this many unrelated things so close together, some of which I haven’t taught in years or ever actually, the universe gave me the gift of time this week. Other than a broken toilet flapper, which I promptly fixed first thing Sunday morning after a quick trip to the hardware store, the house is relatively happy to have me here and paying attention to it. I’ve even given it the gift of a new vacuum cleaner and have enjoyed actually using it. The pool is not green, the ponds are maintaining water levels, largely because it rains about 3 inches every day (Is this the new tropical rain forest here in NJ?) and with my husband and daughter away, (even my son was at national guard drills this weekend), I’ve had the house and the dog all to myself for the last week to keep it as I wish, to eat what I wish, and to have 20 different projects all over the house, as I wish. 🙂
So here is the rundown…
Set up large table loom for additional support for “Weave a Memory” class at JHW Guild
Make additional samples for speed tapestry weaving class for NY Sheep and Wool festival (make a tapestry in 3 hours, what could I have been thinking…)
Dig out bobbin lace pillows and refresh memory on first three patterns…
No, put that one away, this is only an hour and a half lecture/demo…
Wind a couple dozen skeins of white wool for dyeing for the kitchen dye workshop at NY Sheep and Wool Festival, and sample some of the dyes in the cabinet…
Left to right, orange Paas egg dye, cherry Kool-aid with green Paas egg dye, blue and green Paas egg dye, Wyler’s Pink Lemonade Singles to go…
And on top of all that entertainment, I signed up for an adult school class at the local HS, in Dreamweaver, (Adobe software for website design) which I have used, but am really not proficient in the least and I still have one more website to design, that I promised a couple years ago, and I figured this would light a fire under my butt, and it did, because here is the rough layout in Photoshop of what I’m thinking…
Stay tuned…
Nothing like a few deadlines…. 🙂
cheers,
Laura
And in her SPARE time she will……..
Happiness is the way. So, treasure every moment that you have
and treasure it more because you shared it with someone special,
special enough to spend your time with…and remember that time
waits for no one.
I look forward to your blog and check for it every day.. Even on vacation, you make my days special. Thank you Daryl.
Love the bobbin lace!
