Today . . .

. . . is for getting a little more organized. Calendar updates need to be made first. Then I need to clear away some things from my work space, a.k.a. the couch. I'm going to bag up a few things to go to Goodwill. After that, I'm going to try a few more photos. I've also got a post for you that will take a few days of research. Fortunately, I can save drafts to be published later! Finally, I'm putting the clasp on Atlantis.



I've been sitting here surfing this morning. I think while I surf. Call it multi-tasking. That way I don't seem like such a slouch. Anyway, while I surf I think, and when I think it usually results in a pattern, a palette or a project -- my three P's. In my world, they are just as important as the three R's. I have four more 2010 locations I would like to apply to, and I'm wondering if I should submit tried and true projects or come up with something completely new. I'm welcoming suggestions, beadlings, so throw 'em out.

Beads and Organizing

I've decided that beads do not like to be organized. Oh sure, put all the greens together and put all the reds together, etc., etc., etc. What they do not want is to be put into containers that make it easy for me to see what I have! Sheesh. GG would be proud of me. I sorted focal beads and discovered that I WILL need one of those expensive clear boxes from the big store that sells expensive containers -- ouch! I filled several pint jars with the colors I use so often. Of course, there a lot more waiting. On the upside, the hubby has finally said "yes, you need your own studio in the back yard". Yay me! So if I can keep visualizing it, I'll eventually have it. I can hear you saying "but T, he got laid off". Yes, and more on that situation next week!

I've added some new links. Please go read Moon's blog, and be sure to read "Holy Goddess of the Crapper". I just about did a spit take with the coffee. I also added Susan Mandel's Beadweaver blog. It is a wealth of information and eye candy! I like blogs that are entertaining. Can you tell?

Please give us a new home!! Mama wants to make new earrings!
