welding

i had signed up for welding at MTC every saturday for a few months. i was so excited - and then the class got cancelled. i looked for more classes and at the time, the chicago avenue fire arts center wasn't having classes until fall. but now that i look they had welding classes starting 4/15. i'm bummed. i have no idea what i was going to weld but the options are endless. now i'll have to wait until fall and my dreams of welding outdoor furniture won't be coming through until next summer. le sigh.  now if i could find a place that could teach me how to make concrete molds.

resolutions and all that jazz...
here are 3 that i'm going to try to uphold. there is another LONG list of other stuff that i've decided to call the "hope list" otherwise i'll just make all kinds of rules about how i need to live up to everything on that list and if i don't then i'll feel guilty/be disappointed and who needs that in a new year?

i do think i'll need to get a little space heater in order to spend more time in my office. brrrr its cold in here!

1. update that portfolio!
2. draw at least 2 portraits a month without judgement!
3. make use of that dress form and sew

-note that #3 doesn't have an explanation point. not sure why but hey maybe its my subconscious telling me that #3 isn't as important... or maybe its more important :)

going to go visit the fuzzy cows next weekend at the scottish fair.

bits of half of the weekend. the other half was spent covered in paint.

I wouldn't go and call these "resolutions" but here is a list, of sorts, to remind me of things I want to do.

2 highlites of break
