My blog productivity seems to have an inverse relationtionship to my other online activity.  I have been spending more time on Facebook lately, and especially a lot of time on Etsy.   But here I am.   My husband works in stained glass, so a few weeks ago we went out to the Glass Craft and Bead Expo in Las Vegas.  I had to do something to amuse myself so I took a couple of classes – introductions to flameworked beads and to cast and fused dichroic glass for jewelry.  Terrific fun, but I have to control myself and not get distracted from the main event.
