• Getting ready

  Still getting ready for the crafts fair on Thursday.  Got to assemble clocks today - 2 just need clockworks, one still needs center hole drilled, then clockworks.

  

  Then there are several bookmarks that still need tassels - here's one:

  

  And switch plates that need to be shrink-wrapped instead of in plastic baggies:

  

  And finally, clean up my tools and work area because we're having a Temple Brotherhood football party tomorrow evening.  Pizza, kids, some pot-luck (more cookies, I bet - not good for me). 

  Tools (tiles for baking clay, price and name tags for items to be sold (hopefully), portable work surface with ruled lines).  Photos were taken on a glass tabletop - thus all the clutter in the background.  I use the chairs for 'stuff' when I'm working with the clay.

  My desk, which is a worse mess (if possible) than the polymer clay work area will also have to be straightened out.

  And, if I have any time over the next 3 days, there are lots of polymer clay beads to be strung.  My least favorite part of the whole thing.  I used to think sanding my pieces was the worst, but I've got that down to a manageable system.  I've several friends who love to do beading.  Sure wish they'd do mine!  I just find it tedious.

  Amazing thing - 3 months ago I got my left knee replaced and since then my right hip has not been bothering me like it used to.  Guess my spine was mis-aligned from favoring the sore knee?  Anyway, I'm so grateful that my hip has let up.  Yesterday I wasn't even worried about having to park a block away from the Life-Long Learning luncheon 'cause I knew I could do the walk with virtually no pain.  Amazing!!
