Stalled?

Day 3 update

Yesterday I stopped off at the local print shop to inquire about some cellophane sleeves to pop my cards into. Unfortunately, the best they could do was to encourage me to order some over the internet, so I’ll be waiting on UPS for more progress there. But I have started a mailing list of kite friends and creative family to send samples off to to get their opinions, I also have the local kite store and their sister store on the list.

I also played with a new custom mini sail. If I find a  gear today I’ll get it framed up and post it.

It’s Saturday, and of late I’ve had trouble getting into gear over the weekend. Some part of me must think it should have a day off and doesn’t count Scout activities as “off”.

Hopefully sitting down to post will inspire me to get up & roll.

If I find a second gear, I’ll get some work done on (but hopefully finish) a larger kite that I’ve had in progress for months. It shouldn’t have taken more than a long day to make it, but between late starts, and the “squirrel” effect, here we are. This kite is the third in a line of really light kites specifically laid out to display a very simple graphic. I think of them as a flying poster.

If I really get my butt moving today, I will also help my youngest complete a requirement toward his Cub rank. We’ve done all the prep work, we just need to get it wrapped up, but we haven’t had a night to just stop and get it done since I can remember.
