The Artist's Life: I'm so slow!!! I decided to participate in this pendant swap for the magazine, but I can't seem to make progress. I've made a million notes and jotted down a thousand ideas to try, but I don't get very far. I'm frustrated that my studio is too small (I need the stupid cutting table, but it's hogging up so much space and makes it impossible to maneuver), but need to work anyway. I vow to put in an hour.
The Mom's Life: I want to work in the studio for an hour, but the kids are getting out of school early today (in an hour and a half) because of finals. I was informed of this fact at drop off this morning. Ugh. Our kitty that is struggling with cancer keeps approaching me, looking forlorn, pleading for attention (which, of course, I oblige) and "squishy food" (which I also provide since it's all he can eat these days), while I grouch about the fact that my son didn't do his chores last night so the house smells of dinner which means either I clean up now, or I smell it until he gets home from school. It never ends.
How fast can I clean and get into the studio? How quickly can I drag that cutting table out and find a large space to stash it (the garage?) before the next storm hits and without knocking yet another wheel off of it's base? Oh my.
