oh dear

Studio day -- cleaned up the downstairs (dye studio) and worked upstairs instead, doing some batik, washing out yukky dye containers and applicators, steaming, washing, and ironing. Not terribly happy with anything, so no pictures tonight. Am also cleaning up the papers on my desk downstairs, sorting out all the recipes I have printed out that have been sitting here amongst the misc. e-mails, calls for entry, and workshop outlines. I also downloaded a trial version of a data base/contact manager to see if it serves my needs. But I'm too tired to deal with it tonight. Tomorrow, cleaning up, cooking, and generally preparing for company on Sunday. Yes, I know it's only Thursday, but Friday we'll be in New York at Diane Savona's solo show opening, and Sat. is Marty's birthday. It is the once a year I take HIM out to dinner. Yesterday I finished 3 pieces and just one still needs the facing sewn down. Progress.
