As usual, I have too many things to accomplish on my "day off" or, as I think of Wednesdays, my "studio day". I got the front and back coats enameled onto my next group last week and will continue that today. But, I still have to do 2-3 loads of launday, turn on everything at the shop, drive to Minneapolis to drop off a jewelry repair that is beyond my skill to do, drop by Harbor Freight to get more of an item that I use in my jewelry, and take a quick trip to Barnes & Noble if I can fit it in. That's not counting my normal 2-1/2 hours of Emails, the Wednesday trash and recycling, etc, etc, etc..... Get the idea? I need a day off to get over my day off - LOL. What ever happened to lounging around in a hammock with a cool drink and a good book? Probably the same thing that happened to warm temperatures (today's HIGH will be below zero degrees F [that's minus 18 degrees C]).
Yesterday's Bead & Button registration went very smoothly. Looking through the schedule this morning, one of the classes I chose is already sold out. But it seems that metal is still very popular with most of the BronzClay classes either sold out or with limited seating already. I am taking mostly glass classes this time. I already have experience with most of the metal techniques being taught and I have been working with the metal clays now for quite a while. I noticed that their "Kiln 101" and the enamel classes (both vitreous and resin) are also popular. One of these days maybe I'll consider applying to teach again. I enjoyed it when I taught there years ago, but it's a lot of work and attending the show is one of my few vacations away from work. It seems counter-productive to work on my annual vacation, although it can be fun.
I hope that each of you has a productive and creative day. I guess you'll find out how successful I was in achieving this goal when I post tomorrow :-)
