Something about 7pm

Life and such have been pretty crazy (in a good way) since early February and already it's mid-late April!  I'm getting ready for the BIG TEXAS show May 6-8th in Dallas.  Clair and I are exhibiting at the Design America Texas show, www.designamerica-tx.com.  It's big time for both of us and we are VERY excited to go.  I don't use all caps much, so you must know it's a BIG DEAL !!!

To the title (instead of to the cloud)....there is something about 7pm for me.  I have a difficult time settling down to the bead table during the day.  There's usually a nagging feeling that I should be ordering supplies, sending that email, taking/editing pictures, calling that person back, the list goes on.  However after dinner if I'm able, I sit down and can really produce.  Suppose it's my natural clock at work.  I love to crank the music up, tonight it's "The Heavy" station on Pandora.com .  It plays lots of Squirrel Nut Zippers, Billie Holiday, Django Reinhardt, etc.

So tonight I'm working in my "new" studio and finding I really love it.  The room I chose was my Grandmother's bedroom (and mine too when I stayed over).  It's quite large and used to fit her double bed with my twin right next to it.  She and I share the same clock, love to stay up late and sleep in.  In high school I would stay out late and on the drive home I'd go past her house, there'd usually be a light on! 

I'll keep you updated I promise on the upcoming show.  It'll be a relief to get it all packaged up and sent off, then I'll do the same for myself! 

Happy Trails,
Michelle
