WEEK\u00a0 THIRTY-SIX \u2013 (sept. 7-13)<\/p>\n

I started the week off with lists and a dogged attitude.
\nIt was always going to be a jam-packed week of notes and prep\u00a0and meetings.
\nIt was also to be the finish line of prep for my first classes in the studio for over a year.
\nSo, inevitably, it was to be a week of writing & prepping & clearing & cleaning.<\/p>\n

MONDAY
\nThe many days and weeks spent writing and refining notes for my Design class have paid off and today I am finally<\/em> satisfied.
\nThey are printed & packaged & waiting to hand out.
\nNext, there is an agenda to be prepped and sent in readiness for Thursday night’s meeting.
\nMonday is also blog day…my recap time….me writing about me.
\nSo, inevitably, lots of computer busy ness & cleaning up & clearing.<\/p>\n

TUESDAY
\nI have four object studies\/files of samples for the design class.
\nToday I start scanning and importing photos of everything I have done – a big job that will have to be slotted in between other tasks. They will form a Keynote\/PowerPoint presentation which are likely be used next week and also, of course, at the OZQUILT Design class in October.<\/p>\n

I finished the last stitches on Feathering #3\u2026\u00a0 finally!
\nI think this will be framed and may need something special on the mount board – no hurry to decide though – I\u2019ll wait till I can get to it\u2019s companion pieces, #4 & #5, to the same stage before committing to fine details.<\/p>\n

In the evening the bloke and I moved my old family piano.
\nA few months ago it was a full piano, now it is in many parts.
\nWe deconstructed it months ago and it has been stored under work tables in the studio.
\nMy work tables are clear and the instrumental jigsaw is under my cutting table and shelves and other places where it will be less annoying to incoming creatives.
\nOne day it will be reworked into tables\/furniture\/artwork?<\/p>\n

\"piano<\/a> \"piano<\/a><\/p>\n

\"piano<\/a>WEDNESDAY
\nI packed up feathering #3 and finally found time to pack away feathering#1- which has been lying idly waiting for some rods to be cut.
\nBoth moved upstairs and the decks below are clear.
\nTime for shopping & prepping & cooking & clearing & cleaning.<\/p>\n

THURSDAY
\nAfter three days of prepping, class day dawns.
\nI think we had a great day – it is always wonderful to catch up with gals I have taught and worked with and have got to know well.
\nThe word Design is often associated with other D discriptors – daunting & disappointing.
\nWe had all in the most positive D’s I think….including daring & delight.<\/p>\n

In the evening it was off to a committee meeting but I managed to fit in a bite to eat inbetween doing more of that & cleaning & clearing…it was sort of now or neverish as the next class was in two days and I had Estherday in-between.<\/p>\n

FRIDAY
\nIn nap time, on Estherday, I caught up on emails.\u00a0 In my inbox was a congratulations letter<\/strong> from OZQUILT – feathering #1 was selected for Art Quilt Australia and will be shown in Geelong next month.
\n&
\nI’m quietly happy….<\/p>\n

SATURDAY
\nFor some it was Dockers day but for a few gals here it was Design class day.
\nAnother VERY productive session but with not nearly enough photos taken.<\/p>\n

\"class<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My….it was a blur of a week but satisfying at the same time.
\nI do miss not teaching & not catching up with lovely people.
\nI miss the pushing and tug as they work forward.
\nI love reconnecting.
\nBUT
\nthis busy week reminds me of the problem of teaching – there is much too much of the “&”…..
\nthe worst being….
\n“&” with the sewing machine and all my projects packed away a part of me is bereft…<\/p>\n

Time soon to nurture my stitching fingers and to neglect other responsibilities for a little bit.<\/p>\n
