Anyway, less complaining...
Last weekend was much happier. On Saturday (the 5th) two of my wonderful friends and I ran the See Jane Run women's half-marathon in Alameda, CA (near San Francisco). It wasn't easy, much too warm for my liking (I hate running if it's more than 60F), and the last two miles were the longest of my life, but we finished. Here we are afterwards with our medals (that's me in the middle!):
After the race (and much-needed showers), we headed to Viansa winery in Sonoma, where my friend is a member so we could taste as much wine as we wanted, for free! Bliss.
Creatively, I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed this week. I've been trying to keep up with the Taking Flight e-course and there is just SO much information, it's hard to read and take it all in, but it's all such gold I don't want to miss a thing. I've also been trying to visit the blogs of other class members and show some support (and have received some wonderful comments and compliments in return). The e-course also reminded me that I have been neglecting Twitter and I could definitely be doing a better job on my Facebook page also. Sigh.
I've also been having trouble with the adhesive I use to make my jewelry, which was very frustrating and resulted in a lot of wasted materials, but I think I've figured out the problem. I have one thing finished (one! but there are a few more near completion), photographed, and ready to list on Etsy, finally. I haven't listed anything new for ages, tsk tsk. Here's the owl ring I will be listing shortly:
Hope you all had enjoyable weekends and your cheese didn't fall on the floor. I will be more productive this week!

Yay Carolyn! So glad it was just right, I had another one all prepared and ready just in case that adhesive decided to mess things up ;) I have some red birds in process right now, I'll let you know how they turn out!

Hello and congratulations on the 1/2 marathon. I manage to run a few miles at a time - but don't think I would be able to run more than that. I really like the owl ring. It is lovely. I too am taking the flying lessons course with Kelly Rae - so much to learn, your blog looks great! I will keep working on mine.
