Another Friday
This week has flown by. Last Saturday was the last class of the first stained glass class for Fairfax Adult Ed. Everyone finished their projects and asked for a soldering workshop or some mini classes before the next class starts in September. The class was great and the students were wonderful. I do hope they come back in the fall.
I started cutting the hummingbirds for the sidelights. I needed to order the background glass because I re-sized the pattern to fit the measurements the clients gave me. I also ordered the mirrors and marbles for marblescopes.
Jewelry Basics was supposed to start Monday night…. the schoolwas closed and no one told us and there was no place to hold the class. I called Arlington and tried to reschedule and find a new place but I am still waiting 5 days later to see when and where.
I started my new exercise program… push mowing the acre of yard. Yes I sweated like no tomorrow. I did get the weed eater going and trimmed. It was hot but it felt good to get it done. I probably will break it up and do it over a couple of days so it will not be as hard.
I reorganized the home studio. It looks good. I have a couple of piles to take to the shed. I still use it for jewelry and other art projects. I do miss having the glass here though I do get more done when I go out to Lorton. It is real work time, no distractions like housework, laundry, movies.
The bathroom sink is finally fixed and the drain is draining. Yea! It took forever but it is done. The mailbox is also fixed so the mailman will not have a cow anymore and will deliver the mail.
So this weekend I will be finishing cutting hummingbirds. Friends are coming to Lorton tomorrow to see my studio. Bonnie is coming over too. Patrick is home tonight thru Sunday am, he is at his father’s for the month of July, it sucks. I hate that he is gone for a whole month which he will be going to Florida to visit his father’s family so they can all meet the girlfriend, one week he will be at Scout Camp, then over a week in Colorado Springs and Raton for Philmont.
I have all day Sunday and Monday to work on the hummingbirds, I should be able to knock out a boat load of the work. I love going to work in my studio, maybe it will help me be more disciplined.
