Catch up time...or else

Today is the first day of vacation! Yea! But if I wrote a to-do list it may be discouraging, because I do not think I will have the time to do all I want. The past couple of weeks - month and a half, actually - have been really draining. To top it all off, work has been jam packed with things to do. My yearbook gals, though a better bunch than last year, have not been able to get the colour pages done. Major nail-biter on my part - I have yet to miss a deadline. But, whether they are done or not, I finish the pages and submit by that dl.

It's funny how it seems to be that all planning and submitting for student shows happen at the same time. Because of family things, Scholastic submissions put together at the last minute. I have wanted to do this since I first saw the exhibit at the Cororan before I even came to PV. Now I have students doing work I think is worthy! Hooray! Then there is a new one some of us are doing and of course, Pingry. Whew!

New printer is in and running. I am so excited. Demsey checked it out and we are like kids on Christmas morn. This will just make the students' work look that much better.

Now I have to think of the order in which to tackle things for myself. I thought I had the supports for my sculptures all set - and I do - but now I am thinking of alternative materials. I will make molds of my hands, cast plaster in them and try that. But then I thought of casting them in resin - major money - or even trying heavy duty paper with major stiffener. Then I have to work on a secret project I am working on. Lost of research. And I have to send my paper off to a women's publication my mentor mentioned to me. And I have to finish more felting. And I have to make more prints. And I have a few clothing and household projects.

I do want to make time to get into Chelsea to the galleries. You cannot beat the prices. And of course I will have to get to the market to get some goodies.

I think I may just have enough time to do all this!
