Transition

I haven't had time for myself in a while, and so I haven't been designing, this usually causes me frustration. It's not helping that it's Sunday and I can't even listen to a piece of music, or read an article without being interrupted. We're having a full house, daughter (6), her friend (5) her friend's brother (2) and their poor helpless helper (age unknown) . Being home and not getting any time for myself is killing me.

Putting the nagging aside, this was a good week when it comes to teaching. Yesterday I gave the last class in the current jewelry making workshop. I'm in the process now of preparing for the ladies' first exhibition, which could be in 2 weeks, and in the meantime, accepting new students for the new workshop. Besides the beginners workshop, I am organizing advanced workshops in collaboration with a new teacher, where students can learn, besides other techniques, soldering. I have been busy registering students and answering inquiries. 

Although I don't see myself designing or creating any new items this coming week either since my schedule is full with tasks and to do lists, I am excited about the new classes, grateful for finishing yet another successful workshop with satisfied students and new jewelry makers/designers, and looking forward to the exhibition where we get on spot feedback from the public which is always very rewarding. 

Until I share pictures of new jewelry that I can hopefully create soon, and before I am called again for the 50th time in an hour to answer the kids neverending requests, here's a picture from yesterday's class. 

The ladies are from left to right:
