Waiting…

and waiting for help.

I spent quite awhile yesterday on the phone on hold with GoDaddy for another site I manage. They were very helpful, but their “hold music”–ugh!

I lost count of how many times I heard a Dixieland version of Down by the Riverside. I mean, it’s an okay song and the band was good, but every time they came back to me to say, “Thank you for holding. I appreciate it. I was just checking in to let you know I’m still working on it,” back on hold again, it was AGAIN Down by the Riverside. It started over from the beginning every time! I actually got to hear a couple of other songs, but they were fresh and I didn’t mind.

As you probably guessed, I didn’t get any sewing done.

Today I worked at Locally Grown Gallery in Oak Ridge where I sell some things. I also do their books. Let me just say, I’m not a mathematician. I’m an artist. Locally Grown opens at 11 and closes at 5 and it took most of the day to get that done. I’m a slow typist.

Tomorrow I babysit my two grandsons. I won’t get any sewing done then. But I will have fun. Here’s to sewing Saturday!

I have done beadwork for over 25 years and got so interested in jewelry design that I took two metalwork classes at Arrowmont School of Arts & Crafts in Gatlinburg, Tennessee from wonderful teachers Deborah Lynn Gold and Marjorie Simon. I can't choose a favorite medium. I love sculptural work and adore forming and fabricating metals, but three-dimensional beadwork is more colorful. I sew a lot! Lately I've been making lots of purses and wallets as well as upcycling used clothing into new items. Lately I've gone back to sewing and refashioning cast-off clothing–mostly men's shirts, into girls' clothing. I also enjoy making handbags and wallets. They are really fun to put together–like a puzzle.
