Thanks for these links. I’m usually OK to sit down in the evening after my job and do the fun work, even if the fun work is serious business sometimes. Right now, I’m preparing to move but not until July 1. That means that I have days amid the chaos where all I want to do is chuck it all and wire up some beads.
All these ideas are floating in my head that I don’t have time to execute. However, they are at least now written down since it’s easier to find the few minutes to do that try to get to the end of moving and realize that I don’t remember a thing about what I was going to do with those specific beads I purchased for that special item which now resides nowhere in my head…
(my website is relatively new, more to come)
I’m glad you’re writing down all you ideas! My notebooks are absolutely priceless to me
Hope your move goes smoothly and you’ll have more space to do your work!
