Sure, “what’s on the frames this week,” but more like “what’s not happening this week?” Too much stuff is breaking as I get ready to take my first vacation with Tom for the first time in, like, 10 or 11 years! And it’s a good vacation, made more special because it’s the year of our 25th wedding anniversary (long gone by back in January). But more on that another time.
Just take in all these things I have to get done this week :
- an acupuncture visit;
- a “see you in September” luncheon and group hooking for Mary, a guild member who’s moving back to Wisconsin, but, fortunately, will be back in September for our Sharon Smith workshop (and this winter too, we hope);
- some additions to the Etsy shop;
- pictures to ready for Judy Taylor’s new project on t-shirt rugs (do you have some to send her?);
- finding out how to change the guild‘s ATHA page as it isn’t at all current – BTW, did I tell you that I became AWAG’s president on July 1?;
- an Albuquerque Fiber Arts Council Education Committee meeting;
- find some GOOD earplugs so that I can sleep when “Snoring Tom” when we go away;
- pay my New Mexico gross receipts tax for the first six months of 2018 (the rest the country just calls it a sales tax);
- update my inventory after Sunday’s Rail Yards Market – hey, I did really well; some lady bought out almost half of my mug rugs to send here and there for gifts;
- send in my applications to Española Valley Fiber Arts Center for the Fall Fiber Fiesta and to Mama’s Minerals for the Sawmill Rocks Fall Festival; and
- all the other things you usually have to do just to live – clean, bake, shop, etc., etc.
I won’t bother you any with any more specifics, but I’ll show you the other rug that’s on the frame this week. How’s your summer going? Busy???
Wow! You sound terrifically busy. Things have calmed odwn a bit for me…
I just cut a shawl off the loom for the membership show at the art center where I volunteer and teach. I’ve knotted one end and have to do some unweaving on the other to knot it. Then – the very exciting part – – – I can wash it! I am so anxious to see how it will finish. It seems to be a good width and length. I haven’t woven cloth in so long.
I heard from my teacher at Sauder Village and the hooking workshop is going to be wonderful! I do have a design partially done, but decided I would do one of her samplers. I will fuss less and learn more. Peter commented that I should actually do some hooking before we go so I remember how!
Congrats on all your sales. Good for you!
Isn’t the cruise in August?
