And now down to work.

The more I think about this family dinner on Thursday, the more I realize how unprepared I think we are. So, this morning over breakfast, I'm going to make lists. Talk about habits! When I feel overwhelmed, I make lists. LOL. I came to realize that it's possible that people will be sitting down stairs. We have a little sitting area there, and there are two very nice tables in the area where people could eat, if necessary. No big deal--right? But--that's where my studio is, and this means tidying the whole studio and putting sharp cutting tools away. OMG! There's almost a week's work in just that!

Along the same vein of thought, I'm re-thinking some of the "Call for Entry" that I've been looking at. One requires a formal entry by Jan 15th, and I still haven't figured out how to get my entry information and pictures onto a CD for mailing. I know this is going to become a problem any time I want to enter a show, and I'm going to have to find a workable solution, but the deadline of Jan 15 means finding that solution this week. A friend told me that If I have a re-writable CD, I just save to CD on my computer, but that doesn't make sense to me. While I have a CD drive, I thought I had to have a CD burner as well to actually put anything on the CD. I hate being so ignoraant about these things, but I know how much time, effort, and expense it would take to learn.

I'm almost finished dealing with the scraps I've been working with over the past two weeks, but I may have to put them aside while I clean up the studio. I'll try to get a picture of what I have so far, before I quit. I doubt there will be much sewing going on around here over the next few days, and I had set a deadline of Jan 1st to finish the scraps. After that I have a special project that is going to take all of my time--or it looks that way. I have to confess that I haven't made the lists for that yet.
