accomplished

``Your list of the common extent of accomplishments,'' said Darcy, ``has too much truth. The word is applied to many a woman who deserves it no otherwise than by netting a purse, or covering a skreen.

I love the smell of playdoh. That is all.

upcoming

Next few project deadlines:

Mother's day (May 10)
Afghans for Afghans (May 15)
High School graduation (end of May)
Niece birthday (May 28)
Nephew birthday (June 4)
Nephew birthday (June 24)
Brother birthday (June 26)

It's nice that crafty presents are often thrifty presents, as well as being more appreciated than purchased gifts, but it takes a lot of advance planning (well, and crafty work, but that's the best part).

creative taskmaster

I wish I knew of a good 'to-do' online widget. Right now I use listography, but it's far from ideal for that.

BOHs - soak bottles, sketch out ideas
Pansies - add more pastels before sealing
Faces box - second sepia wash
Teapot box - major repairs with ivory
Tea cozy - call Yarns Etc to see if they have the yarn I need
Knitting markers - test rings idea
Mesa beads - finish reaming

I also need to clean up both my craft area - it's starting to get a little cluttery - and the room around it (which is long past cluttery). Also I need to revamp my creativity folder and expand the area for ideas. And, unfortunately, it's time for Gikow's book to go to the library. That's a book I'd like to own.

Also the trash needs to go out. But that's neither here nor, unfortunately, there.

another day, another blog

Found another cool PC blog today - Polymer Clay Chameleon. She features various artists, much in the same way PC Daily does,only different artists. It's cool to see the same topic from a different perspective. Plus her finds are gorgeous (see above from vickicockroft and chopoli)!

Checked Michael's and Joann's today - alas, no Fimo on sale. Also, maybe it's just me, but it looks like their variety of PC supplies are dwindling. Maybe I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong. I hate ordering online.

Finally figured out what to make someone for their birthday - stitch markers! Now I just have to order the beads I want; there are perfect ones at orientaltradingcompany.
