running in place

This week seems to be all about running in place. I am so frustrated because I am getting nothing done. I did get a pour in today. You can see the new buckles in the photo and the other items are on the far side on the board. Really, it wasn't very productive. Usually pours give me great sense of accomplishment. Not today. I felt quite ambivalent. And all the excitement is gone for me right now. Hmmmm. I'm sure it will all pan out for me. Probably just need a new type of project- fiber, silversmithing, letterpress, something other than this. At least for a little while. I just get so bored!!! Definitely time for the press! Now that's exciting! Whew! I was getting worried...

I can't move on too quickly though. I want to get everything in my house out of it. RIGHT NOW! I can't take it anymore. Maybe if I give everything away the kids won't have anything to fling about. Maybe we could eliminate fans draped with clothes, floors scattered with airsoft BBs and that nagging sense of doom I feel upon entry. Ah....pipe dreams. They're great!

Tuesday was all about Jack!
On Tuesday I spent the day with one of the happiest little dudes around. Keith and Jenger's youngest son, Jack, came to play. It was great fun but it was all I needed to reinforce the idea that I am definitely all done with having children. I got absolutely NOTHING done. And I was soooo tired at the end of the day. Where do they get all that energy? But even all that energy can't deter me . I love him!


Better photograph of the ring from this weekend.
You can actually tell that it is an amethyst. Who'da thunk?
