The Canvas http://www.canvasarts.org/index.htm, a local art studio, offers community classes and I've signed up for a jewelry making class. We made a simple wire ring last week and started on a band ring. Need a lot of practice on my soldering, but I love it already.
I've been doing my standard winter procrastinating about exercise. Perhaps it's come time to stop the procrastination and get to the pool for a swim, or lace up my running shoes and go for a run.
How do you break your winter blaaahs?

Good question! I definitely don't get as "blah" here as I do at home... but it's almost even worse not having a good dump of snow. Playing in the snow is fun- playing in the rain isn't so much!
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of silly but I actually started my blog originally to make myself do more- so I'd have things to write about. Kind of a push/pull sort of thing I guess. Just going on walks on the weekend or checking out new little shops instead of going to the same ones all the time helps me feel so not in a funk. Seeing and doing the same things every day is what makes me go "blah"!
I want to see pictures of your jewelry!
Baking! Although, after a certain point it seems like my friends get tired of me forcing cupcakes on them. I started a 50 book challenge this year and that has really helped a lot with feeling blah because I have so many good books to turn to.
ReplyDeleteAnd running, but that seems to help with everything! It's nice to see you blogging, Nicki!
