I gave a two hour workshop for the Moonlight Weaver’s Guild on Tuesday on making buttons. I went over a few basic techniques: conditioning clay, buttonholes, wire shanks, using cutters and textures, etc, then turned everyone loose.
It was wonderful to work with such a creative group of people. I answered questions and added [...]
I got a new laptop! *insert Happy Dance here*
Dell Inspiron 14R – I’ve only had it a few days but I like it so far. Of course, I’m having to get used to the sheer weirdness of it – Windows 7, a Delete key in the wrong place, wide screen… (My [...]
I’m not even sure where 2010 went, never mind what happened. No particular disasters, but I was looking at my goals for the year and um… well, let’s just say, most of them fell by the wayside.
I was going to list all the things I didn’t do, but I’ve decided I’d rather concentrate on [...]
I figured NaNo wouldn’t be too much of a problem this month. I’ve done it twice before, right?
Yeah, well, the night before it started I came down with the cold from the Evil Slime Dimension. I spent the next two days in bed, and another two weeks getting over it. I swear a colony [...]
It’s NaNoWriMo time again, and I can’t wait to start writing.
National Novel Writing Month is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to novel writing. Participants begin writing November 1. The goal is to write a 175-page (50,000-word) novel by midnight, November 30.
This will be my third time doing it. I made [...]
March was the month for decluttering, and I think I did pretty well. I have a lot more I could and should do – I haven’t gotten to most of the closets, but I accomplished quite a bit.
It’s amazing how restful a clean, empty surface is.
I also did pretty well on personal decluttering [...]
I’m going to review goals/accomplishments every month and see where I’m at. I may be a week late on the blog but I did this at the beginning of the month.
I did! Really! I’ve got it written down in my planner and everything…
Anyway, I have to say I achieved my goal of [...]
I’ve been having the usual beginning of the year thoughts… There was a time management class I took once. One of the first things they had you do was decide what you wanted, and what your priorities were. They said that was a step most people skipped. They asked, “Where were you ten years ago? [...]
I was thinking of this for my word of the year but it’s not quite right… But since I’d already found some links, etc, I thought I’d post this anyway.
Winnow

I got to my goal for NaNo, but the book isn’t done. It’s been giving me a little trouble actually. I’ve been stuck because I didn’t know what happened next. I’d gone off track – the story veered far enough that it looked like my original ending wasn’t going to work – but I didn’t [...]
