T> I have a couple of pieces up at 20% off. Thanks for looking!

well see I thought it was YOU that was on sale! :)

And I thought perhaps she had lost weight and wanted to celebrate with us. Diana

ROFL! Don't I wish!!!!

Actually, I'm in major nesting mode right now: We bought a sofa, new window treatments, lamps. It's truly autumn here now, and I'm cooking stews and soups and the like. I'm planning to torch some today/tonight, if I feel like it. I had glassblowing class last night, and that just makes me yearn for furnace time as opposed to torch time.

I run my little sales when I want to try to clean my page of listings. Unsold work makes it hard for me to move on, and I do some of my best work when I have nothing left to sell. LOL!

Tink Check here for available work:

:-) Soup and sales. Not going there. Its interesting, soup is for winter and fall for me too. Im considering chicken and rice again... and beef barley vegetable. ... and home made bread.. Diana

Hmmm, I'd like to be about 20% off.

Actually, depending on how you interpret that, I AM.

Funny how that is, isn't it? I have that trait too... I get "stuck" if I have stuff still in my bead box. I go a little nuts and get into this "everything must go!" mode so that I can clear out my bead box and be "unblocked".

LOL You lean to the left a bit. Diana

I'm that way too -- with bead projects. I can't start one unless certain existing ones are finished. Not all of them -- I have plenty in my Unfinished drawer. But......sigh. ~~ Sooz To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong. ~~Joseph Chilton Pearce

Time for an unfinished project swap eh? Diana

That's part of why I do small sets... I tried to do large ones, but what happens is I get fourteen beadsinto a 21-bead set, and then I need to start another one, and then when that one's half done, I really need to start another one, and then I have to go back to the first one, but I can't, and then I start a couple more that don't go anywhere, and then pretty soon I'm paralyzed.

Is there somethng wrong with a 14 bead set? What is a small set... how big is big? Diana

I do five to nine beads in a set, and consider it small. I think a

21-bead set would be large... and no, there's nothing wrong with a fourteen bead set, but if I'm visualizing a 21-bead set then I'm not "done" yet at 14 beads. OK, that sounds neurotic. You know what I mean though, right? :)

I hear you. The first week of frost you finish the garden work. The next week you start picking up things that shouldn't freeze to the wrong locate. Last week was time to re-arrange the porch and seal it off for winter. And I'm even cleaning and sorting the house. And yes, for this last week or so I've been making soup and stew, dinners in the covered roaster in the oven. Also got out the yeast and made bread, and even non-mix cakes for Pete. Meanwhile he's been chopping wood and keeping the fire going.

Fall is friendly,

Yes. I think so. For some reason 14, when youre aiming for 21 doesnt feel finished. Its an intuitive thing probably. It doesnt sound neurotic. It sounds like you listen more closely to the glass and your heart. What do you do with those unfinished sets? Diana

Doesn't sound at all neurotic to me - sounds perfectly reasonable. So if you really need to get rid of these unfinished sets then I'll make the ultimate sacrifice and offer to give them a good home and let you get on with making finished sets.

I eventually split the beads up into smaller sets that "felt" right, and donated the extras to the Hope project.

A little "autumn nesting" for me; I pulled up the corn from the front yard. I will dig the parking strip under later.
