Is this the Way?

2 inch Sotich Shield kite mounted on easel card

Well, I managed to sneak into the kite room last Friday before heading out to my father’s property, but didn’t update the post.

Here’s the one-off that I made to post for Revenge of the Sixth (the day in May that follows Cinco de Mayo, and any revelry that might entail).

Naturally, I didn’t get any work done while I was away from home, but as my son’s Scout meeting was cancelled on Monday, I did make it into the kite room for a bit (after some yard work). A bit more to do on the Full of Stars shields, and a step or two on the last of the Star Wars themed kites, before I start in on a batch of the Tulip shields.

Tuesday evening, despite digging into the stove to see why it wasn’t lighting (frigging igniter again), and another stab at yard work, I managed to make it into the kite room. Not just made it in, but got to spend a couple hours, before I pooped out.

I finished this cutey, and the Full of Stars shield kites before calling it a night.

Wednesday morning I managed to cut a few of the Tulips before I was called to cut out a 2 inch sail from some of the tissue reaming from that print. I’m excited to get even more out of that package of napkins. Then Wednesday evening, after getting home a few minutes late from a last minute lockout and a bit of time over dinner, I managed a couple hours to finish cutting out the sails from that napkin and even started framing them. My back said that it needed some attention before I got too tired from working, so I didn’t get as much time as I wanted in the kite room.

Thursday morning, I put in a few minutes between getting the kiddo off to school and getting ready for my day at work. I probably wont get much more done this week, as I’m likely to spend all of Thursday night prepping to head back down to my dad’s property for my “weekend off”, but I might get a couple minutes on Friday morning.

Turns out that I made a few minutes on Thursday evening to finish the first of the kites from the aforementioned scrap (pictures will follow) and frame up the last of the Tulips, I hope to have them mounted on cards next week, but didn’t leave time on Friday morning. That’s it for this week, then.

So the question stands.
Is this the Way? Maybe it’s just the May.
