Almost time to get back to work

I planned on getting back to work on the 7th… how is it already the 5th? It’s a little unfair that I lost almost four weeks to bronchitis. I am feeling a lot better now – I’m definitely on the mend. But it seems a little unfair that I had actual real scheduled time off and then felt like crap for most of it. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I still did shit when I had the energy – did a little handbuilding and played around with my new laser engraver/cutter. But I had a lot of plans that included cleaning the shit out of both my house and my studio… and they are both still disaster areas. Sigh. But! I am in the studio today, with a goal of (a) winding some yarn that I dyed almost a year ago and haven’t gotten around to winding yet (don’t judge me) and (b) glazing some bisque for some restocks. I’m really trying to make a cohesive, followable plan for restocks and new things coming in next year. Especially since I’m going to be travelling so much. Eeep! Travelling! I have my place to stay in Dublin and in Wexford, but need to make reservations in Galway and Belfast. And then one night more in Dublin, the night before I fly out. 

Being back in the studio means I’m not going to get much Dollhouse stuff done today… but I did move The Bayport House back onto the dining room table last night as I’m pretty much done with Sam’s Study until I get the little miniature books I ordered rather than continue to make the frustrating (and crappy) books that came with the set. 

I’ve actually made a lot of little changes to Sam’s Study. Should I make a whole post about that when I’m completely done with it? I used different fabric for the tablecloth and chair. I painted most of the furniture. I didn’t use the lighting kit that came with it. I put in a different floor than the checkerboard tile they gave with it. I had to do some things differently because one of my cats threw up on some of the things that were designed to be cut out and used, and some things I did differently because apparently I just can NOT follow instructions. I’m such a rule breaker! 

OK; quick post today. I have bisque to glaze and yarn to wind and later today an online hangout for my Patrons over on Patreon. 

Happy Friday, y’all!
