well I managed to something this morning

I walked for 1 hour and 45 mins with the dog before 9am. I watered the garden as requested. Ah I feel so virtuous and smug now.

Since then I have been reading a few blog updates via bloglines (saves so much time) and looked at the new scholarship blogs at the UNT College of Art and Design. Wish I could get $1000 just to write a blog. I have listed the 4 winners from last year and so far this years, 2 winners. Only one of them, the grad student posts on a regular basis and that is mainly his photography, very little text. I hope the 2 new students blog more frequently. If I was the one paying the scholarship I would be expecting more regular posting to be honest but they are interesting in their own way.

So on Sunday I finally managed to finish my July Bead Journal Project page (see it here) and I have started my August page. Last night I actually managed to spend 2 hours in my new room but it still seem alien at the moment. Today I will be sorting out the old Laundry come art room and moving more stuff in my new art room. Maybe then it will be more welcoming. I wont be doing all my work in the new room though as I decided being the messy person I am, I would continue any painting in the Laundry room. Weird as it seems from my walks recently I have actually got some ideas for painting and it actually relates back to my work in my final year at college.

So now I am off as Emily needs some money transferred into her account for materials - for her drawing and design classes they have packages that totalled $360 and she still needs more stuff! I will be interested to see what these packages actually contain and whether if she had been informed about their contents earlier, whether she could have got them cheaper elsewhere. Going on the stuff I saw at the UNT supply shop, I suspect she could. At least she was forewarned doing an Fine Art degree wouldn't be cheap!
