Without getting into specifics (I just don't feel like typing that much) Matt and I have been dealing with govenment agencies at all levels for the past two days. It's been exhausting. The most frustrating individual who we had to deal with was the Dane County Clerk. She's supposed to handle name changes, yet when I called to ask her how Matt would legally change his name, she said, “I don't know. Call a laywer.” But today, I think it's mostly over with. Thank goodness. I can't handle any more completely pointless phone calls.
I've been really into starting some new crafts lately and I've come across two or three on Craftster, in the latest issue of ReadyMade, and various other sources that I would like to try out:
+ Tyvek Bag
+ Shrinky-Dink Pushpins
+ woven paint chip wallets (sounds out there, no?)
+ a more girly version of the duct tape wallet
+ some sort of bag (I just got my sewing machine back!)
I think I'm in project mode. But I've also made myself promise that I won't start anything new before I reorganize my craft/art supplies. They're consuming lots of space and they're very un-tidy.
