productivity, woo!

I had an extremely productive night last night. Almost to the point of scaring myself. Heh. I had planned to do a bit of tidying when I got home, but that ended up expanding to putting away all my clean laundry (which is almost all of it, all I'm going to have to do this weekend is one, maybe two loads).

I had wanted to spend a bunch of time doing lampworking, but once I finally sat down to the torch, I only got a couple beads made and then I ran out of propane! I had a couple spare tanks (I use the 1-pound camping tanks) but when I took the torch off the tank, it was hissing, which freaked me out. A quick google search turned up instructions to take it outside, open up the valve on the torch and let the tank empty before taking the torch off, so I did that - which put me out of commission on beadmaking for a while.

I tried to do a little bit of WoW-ing, but just wasn't into it last night... so I finally ended up restarting the Swan Lake stole I had started ages ago (and then the cat made a tangled mess of it). When Ian and I were down at Granville Island last weekend, I had the thought to go into BeadWorld and pick up some seed beads for it, so this time I'm beading it too. It's turning out gorgeous! And I was smart enough to put it in a rubbermaid bin when I was finished for the morning, so the cat can't mess it up this time.

I'm really really pleased with how much time I'm NOT spending on the computer lately. I'm feeling much more fulfilled and creative, and it's really great. I'm looking forward to a fun-filled, busy weekend as well - tomorrow Ian's coming over and we're going to cook dinner together, and I'm spending Sunday afternoon/evening with songstress1973 and gates_apco, both of whom I haven't seen in a while and it should be a ton of fun.
