I have been hard at work lately trying to perfect a jewelry piece that incorporates my two favorite media: polymer clay and shrink plastic. I think my latest attempt may be successful, though I have no idea if it will actually be appealing to others! Here's the basic design idea, for those of you who like to have sneak peeks of new ideas!
My son has started third grade and I have signed him up for some after-school activities. Since he spent much of the summer in our house playing on his tablet or watching TV, I felt he should get more active. He will be getting some one-on-one gymnastics coaching as well as learn to play tennis.
I'm also currently taking a graduate-level psychology class, which will hopefully be the last one I need to take before I apply for licensure. Yes I love art, crafts and my freedom, but I do need to be doing a bit more that provides me with some sense of purpose or fulfillment. Psychology is still my first love and what I think I am best at, so if I am able to eventually get a job as a therapist, it will be a goal achieved after at least 30 years of working towards it.
So yes, I am busy, and a bit overwhelmed and stressed, but I'm sure I'm not alone in that! Feel free to share your own "busy" stories!
