Wednesdays are always special for me - they are my studio day. It doesn't change my basic schedule - I still get up at 3:30 am and leave for the shop at 7:00 am. I still work at the shop for an hour or two most Wednesdays, but then I can grab some breakfast, go to Barnes & Noble or Michael's, check my box source for new boxes, and come home and work on my art. A 5 hour or longer period to work on my art. That's as close to heaven on earth as I can imagine. Today I will continue work on my BFAC 2011 box. So far I'm VERY happy with it. Since I am planning to etch some copper for one part of it, I will probably continue working on the transcription of exactly what will go onto the copper. I have half of it translated, but the other half remains to be done.
I really needed to try and do something about my weight and my physical wellbeing. Although I keep trying, I just can't fit a workout into my morning schedule - there just isn't time. So I've decided that I will just have to exercise at night when I get home, 3X a week. It means that I will eat later - usually around 8pm, which generally isn't considered a good thing. But it's that or nothing, and I think that getting the exercise will be more beneficial to me. My main problems come when my schedule gets disrupted - especially at Bead & Button. But this year I'm only going for five days, so it will be less disruptive than usual.
Today's featured Beading For A Cure auction items are by Kathy Koppinger (top) and Catherine Bond (bottom). I don't know either of these beaders personally, but their items are beautiful. Please visit the auction page and bid high for an excellent cause.
