200 and Still Going Strong

Amazingly enough, this is my 200th post. Since I write this virtual journal for my personal edification, I am patting myself on the back. It's not that I don't have the ability to focus on something for periods of time. Any person will have their own areas of focii. But I have never been a person who has been able to keep a diary. Yet, here I am, keeping a virtual diary and a regular schedule. So...congratulations to me. I'll raise a glass of wine to perseverence tonight :-)

And today is a studio day. Basically, today that means a trip to my silversmith who will do a resize job for me that I simply don't have time to do. I'll probably grab a quick breatfast at Gigi's on the way - excellent breakfast quiche. Then, run home and start work. Two or three loads of laundry. Pulling my cloak template off the mannequin and laying out the actual fabric, getting it cut and sewn. Finishing up the last of my Beading For A Cure project which I want complete by this weekend. Starting my housecleaning before my friend from California arrives to join me on the drive to Milwaukee next week Sunday. And I probably should start thinking about packing - but that can wait until the last minute. It is more important that I do things that I simply can't do after a full day's work or in stolen minutes through the day.

And I brought my sketchbook home from the shop to flesh out a couple of ideas. It would be delightful if I could find a few minutes (30-60) to do that, get measurements correct, and revise a couple of things. Also, I have photographs on my camera that need to be downloaded onto my computer....and....and. Well, let's just say that I have many more things to do today than I have minutes in which to do them . It's a normal studio day - and again the kiln won't be fired up because I have too many other things that need to be completed first before I can indulge myself in some glass/enamel work.
