Its almost June...no way...way...
If you haven't read "She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named" daily chat about beadmakers checking out other's work on eBay, its a good read...i recommend it before she chats about something else...
I did get some play time in yesterday, made another pendant and some more Aztec beads, but only 3...i was also doing some detective work on a beadstyle that I'm curious about...5 attempts and its getting closer...I have so many avenues to try right now that I'm sitting at the torch just wondering where to start...but I know today I need to finish up a couple of orders, and then I have an insurance meeting (the last one was a disaster) and may have to run a friend to the Dr. cause her car is in the shop...what is it they say 'never enough time in the day'...well, I'll FIND the time today...
I have my first in-studio class this weekend and I'm pretty excited about that...Only 1 person could make it for the Memorial day weekend, so it'll be nice and intense...I'm not sure she's ready for 2 whole days of Donner cracking the whip, but I'll try not to make her cry for at least the first hour or so...heh...no, i'm not REALLY a task master, but I have lots to cover and not a lot of time for fiddling around...unless of course she wants to fiddle, but i think that's such a waste of money. If you're paying $300.00 for a class, don't you want to know everything you can, until your ears bleed? Exactly! But I won't push her, I have an agenda and we'll do whatever she wants to do (I am flexible), but when I take a class, I want to absorb as much as possible...so I'm assuming ya'll do too...maybe I'm just too intense about beads and beadmaking...infatuated? obssessed? what's the right word?
Regarding the catalog, I've been doing some thinking - my goal is to of course get everyone's orders done by the end of the month...I don't really expect there to be a large crashing wave of orders coming in, but should I find that I can't handle everyone's orders, I'll post notice that I'll close the catalog early. I think a month's wait for beads is reasonable, I've waited over 4 months for beads from "She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named", and I know at one time "She" had a year-long backlog to her catalog...A Year...think about that...i'm not saying it's right, i'm just saying...it happens...so 4 weeks seems pretty 'not-too-bad', dontcha think?

Donna,
I read that yesterday and wondered how doe she do it? I am amazed by her all the time! And I bet we only read about 10% of her thoughts.

That's just good life advice...whether it pertains to lampwork or other issues, the issues are the same. It is a wonderful reminder!

I agree, it is only a good idea to look around on eBay when you are in a really good mood. No PMS, kids and husband behaving, house clean, orders up to date, bills paid, etc., etc. Which for me rarely happens all at one time! LOL But when it does, I look around and I think....YAYAY I am so glad my friend (insert name here) is doing so well!!

It's good to have an obsession - it gives life the illusion of purpose. :) I'm glad your obsession is such a beautiful one...
Just think if it were collecting toenails? Yucky!
