Richer/Poorer

Well, I'm now richer in terms of time to be able to spend on my personal projects today (after a full morning of errands that will take me throughout the cities). But I'm also poorer because I registered for Bead & Button classes and the PMC Conference yesterday. I am only taking two classes at Bead & Button this year. I thought about a third one, but really didn't have the cash to swing it and decided to just do the two that were most interesting to me. So, I'll be working with an old acquaintence - Gwen - on making photopolymer plates, and with someone who I've never met to drill stones. I'm really looking forward to both classes.

My "spare" time over the past couple of days has been spent refining some new designs for some new cloissonae work. That will progress more today, and I will also test the new fabric markers that I got in the mail. Cross whatever fingers you can spare for me that these will work. They are my last resort and if they work I can transfer my designs and get my embroidery finished on my cloak so that I can start my DH's cloak. But, before I can play I have to get some errands finished. So...I'll start on the trash, then open the store, then pick up a jewelry repair, then go to the office supply store, then go to my box supplier, then clean up the old house before the repair crew starts work on Friday, then....then....then.... Get the picture? LOL.
