Hmmm two posts in a day, scary! But with me, its either feast or famine when it comes to the blog. Actually, that's a lot of my world. I have a tendency to overschedule myself. Admitting it is the first step, right?
Since my natural tendancy is to retreat, it is actually a good thing in that I am forced to interact with people. And I still throw the schedule out the window every so often to do something else or just retreat when I need to. But this overscheduling is also bad, in that it lets me avoid things I don't want to do (like reorganize my house!). I need to revisit my goals this week so I can work towards having some balance between the stuff I want to do and the stuff I need to do!
I can't believe it has been almost three months on my new job. It continues to be busy, but I am hoping to get a large part of my current assignment load off my desk in the next few days so I can take some time off for some R&R and family visits. I was also recently introduced to this jewelry and really like it. So, even though sales are not my thing, I decided to be an advisor. We shall see how that goes!
On the fiber front, I've taught several spinning classes at the LYS - three on spinning with a drop spindle and one with the wheel. Its been a lot of fun and I'm finally starting to feel a little more comfortable with teaching. Hopefully the participants learned a lot and stick with spinning! No more upcoming classes, but hopefully soon!!!!
I'm still brainstorming on the fiber guild ideas. With the embroiderers' guild, weavers' guild, tapestry weaving group, and various kntalongs I have been participating in, trying to start up a fiber guild is a little crazy. But I tend to think about it similar to the tapestry group....having a dedicated time to focus on fibery pursuits might help me to focus on that.
OK, random ramble over. Progress report at the end of the week!
