I must remember to keep filling this in. I don't keep a diary, which is a big regret of mine so I thought I'd manage to keep this up to date considering the amount of time I spend online. Oh, well, let me see...........

Can't think what I've done from Thursday......... Friday....work, Saturday...work! Stocktake!! :( Have to finish it today. I also had a lady come in (who keeps coming in) trying to get me to take on a project of casting a sculpture in glass. Up 'til now I've declined, even though it would be worth a lot of money to me, but I just am not comfortable working in that size. I specialise in pendants and fused glass, this is much more complicated, especially as the item in question is full of undercuts, which makes it HORRENDOUS for taking a cast from. It then will have to be done by the 'lost wax' method which is something I haven't attempted since University, and I hated it then. So many processes, for one piece and even then it will be hit and miss, because due to the shape of the item it will not be easy, nor financially viable for her, to have me make piece after piece, so I basically get one attempt. This lady is a local artist herself and said that if it turns out, there will be many other local artists that may want me to do the same for them, so I'm afraid I'm kind of hoping for it being unsuccessful, which may sound terrible, but this is going to take up my life for a good few weeks. Although saying that, I HATE failure. I just have a NEED with my glass to perfect my work. The Christmas stars for instance, a real low point, so simple, yet so frustrating. I've reluctantly agreed anyhow so watch this space....... :-s

Anyway, on a brighter note, had an old friend of ours round for drinks last night. It was lovely seeing him again, because he moved away some time ago but still has family up here. We had a lovely evening. I stayed off the drink AGAIN, because I said I'd drive him home, since he and Nick were both plastered by midnight!

I'm getting ready for work again as I write this. May add to it later.....xxxxx

Just come in from work. Really tired but relieved to have got my stocktake finished. Going to relax now this evening. Can't think of 'owt interesting to say. xx :)
