Other than cleaning them after they are done annealing, there's nothing else to prep. I do dip mandrels or make twisted cane while the kiln heats up. I guess that is sort of like multi-tasking...when making jewelry is really when I do things in batches...like ear wires, or maille components.

I'm really lucky that creating and teaching others how to create their own jewellery is my day job, my business, but despite having set work hours it's still a balancing act with my young family as well! But then again, if I wasn't doing this I'd still be a secondary school teacher and trying to fit in my marking and preparation until late at night.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01054958394707123993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271508841165439447.post-27279900435031512782013-03-16T16:50:38.650-04:002013-03-16T16:50:38.650-04:00It's great to see your multi stage process.

And of course there are some days once in a while where I get a lot less than that. My day job is from my own home, so I'm lucky enough not to have to commute, which living out in the country, saves me at least an hour and a half of time each day, but the thing that really helps the most is treating my studio time like it really is the job it is––I set a time for it and for those hours I'm in the studio until my "shift" ends. Putting myself in that mindset really helps and even though I won't get fired for being late or not putting in all the hours I had planned, it really helps me to get more done.<br /><br />And I do have to admit that on the days I'm in my studio longer other things such as housework and a full night's sleep do get pushed to the side occasionally… it really is a balancing act!Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00899414809146265629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271508841165439447.post-18133542652731775542013-03-16T13:55:06.551-04:002013-03-16T13:55:06.551-04:00Wish I had the time...right now I am caregiver to ...Wish I had the time...right now I am caregiver to my dad and my husband is laid up recouping from a broken leg so between the two houses I don't have much time.

My "day job" is caring for my family, including a 20-year-old son with Aspergers, who needs a lot of appointments with various specialists (and extra TLC), so creating is a REALLY important part of what I do for ME! Lately he has started to show interest in my PC work. I already know he is an artistic soul (he draws complex diagrams and he taught himself to play a musical instrument), so I'm hoping he will want to share my art someday. Your well-organized stations are an inspiration, Rebekah!Monique (A Half-Baked Notion)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16227965573117684221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271508841165439447.post-55538488176315439592013-03-16T10:48:16.965-04:002013-03-16T10:48:16.965-04:00I barely have any time to create.
