Snow, Cold - Can I Hibernate.....Please????

Yesterday we got 4"-5" of snow. Today our high temperature will be a stunning maximum of 5 degrees F. Yup, a whopping -15 degrees Centigrade. And that's the HIGH. Tomorrow will be even worse with more snow. These are the kind of days that make me wish I had retired and had my studio at home. But...there's a space problem. My DH is adament that I have to fit my studio and materials within my current space and that's highly unlikely. I'm also sure he won't want the torch in the crafts room - he probably would rather have it in the laundry/workshop room because that room has a poured concrete floor (fireproof - dont'cha know - LOL). But I think I'll have to start measuring my equipment and figuring out what to build that will allow me to move my studio to my home. I would rather have a separate location, but I at least have to investigate whether or not it would work.

And today is registration for Bead & Button Show. Almost all of the classes that I have chosen are glass classes. Although I looked through all of the classes and had a few metals classes chosen, they just didn't work out for my schedule. I also want to examine pricing for a quick train trip to Chicago again. The "Harry Potter Exhibit" will be at one of the museums there and I have four days off while I'm in Milwaukee. I'm thinking a road trip might be just the thing. Have a great Tuesday - be creative. Grab a pencil and doodle or sketch. Open a child's watercolor set and play with making a sunset over the mountains or ocean. Or borrow your child's Silly Putty, Slinkey, Play-Doh, Crayolas, or other toys and play for a while. It's good for your fea (soul).
