making lists

There are so many things to be done between now and when we leave next Tuesday to go to the Grand Prix in Pittsburgh it makes my head spin. We sat down earlier tonight and first made a list of everything we have to do, then made a day by day list of those divided tasks, one for me, one for Michael. Between running around getting ordinary mundane things done, I'm also steadily chipping away at the bead making list.

Sometime in the next six days all of these and a bunch more will be made into graceful necklaces for my little booth at the art show. I have all my beads, thread, wire, and paraphenalia laid out to get started tomorrow. Instead of using the few purchased clasps I have in stock, I've decided to make the little sterling hook and eye clasp I favor most. So there are a pile of those to be made.

Oh, look for a new article from me in Art Bead Scene Blog coming up. I've found a lovely lampwork bead artist to interview, her first, so watch for it. Her beads are simply amazing.
