I have been busy for several days trying to get ready to go to an art retreat. Organizing the supplies for the workshops have taken up much of the time. Deciding how to get all the stuff from here to there was a problem for me. I finally bought a new set of luggage. The largest and smallest piece I will use to pack my clothing. The second largest will carry items I have been busy with the rest of my time-making art items for the artists sale on Friday night. Having not attended a retreat before, I have no idea what to take to sell. I will have to see how the things I made sells. I might be rather out of touch with what will sell, since we have been out of the Gallery seven years. I will have a better idea after this retreat. I bought a tool bag on wheels to take the stuff I need for the amazing quilt workshop. It is big enough to carry everything I am hoping, even my sewing machine. If not, I will just pare down. I put all the tools and supplies I need for the silversmithing workshop in my bag I have used for years to carry stuff back and forth from work. So, so far, I will have five bags full of stuff to load into the car. Won't that be fun? At least three of them have wheels so that should help. All of this has been therapeutic for me, giving me something to focus on besides the same oh same oh. Only four more days till I leave!
Bubba and I took pictures of the wild flowers on one of our morning strolls. I will have to download them as soon as I get some time. I am campaigning for a new camera. I can't believe mine is outdated already. I want one that can take better pictures with more pixels, but is still a point and shoot easy to use camera.
Tomorrow, I am going to make a carrying case for my laptop. I have this idea in mind so I hope it works for me and will keep my laptop safe when I am traveling. That will make one more bag for me to load! Plus, I have a small camera bag too. Whew!
