white noise

June seems to want to take the Busiest Month of the Year award. Life on the East coast gets hotter and wetter, so this week I’m trading the sauna in for a convection oven and flying out to California to spend time with friends and family. I used to love flying, but these days it seems like a never-ending chore or the kiss of Death. I haven’t decided which it is, but needless to say, what used to be fun has now become a stressful event.

Don’t let anyone tell you working with polymer clay is easy. It isn’t. Especially white. White clay picks up every freaking particle of dust within a two mile radius. Maybe even five miles. But, working with clay is fun. Yes, fun. Loads of fun, and I are now officially doing business — at least as a bead maker. Yay me! At the moment, I’m doing mostly grunt work, but I’m making beads for Cancer awareness, so I certainly can’t complain. I get paid. One small step towards fulfilling a goal.

A bit of news on the wedding front: we’ve found a lovely site for the ceremony and reception. I need to collect a few mailing addresses from folks in preparation for sending invitations. I’m trying desperately to be frugal and eco-friendly. I’m not exactly sure how either will work out, but I’m really interested in renting potted green things (no, not the smokable kind!) instead of just ordering a bunch of flowers that will wilt within days.

Right now, my office is sweltering. I’d love to stay and chat longer, but I think I’m melting. Will check in again once I’m home. I have some great ideas for beads and I want to continue my forays into paper making/recycling. Until next week, cheers!
