( cathartic whining )
The one saving grace in all of this - besides my friends, who are awesome as usual - is that I am taking an absolutely wonderful morning workshop in bookbinding. So far we've made one small and simple softcover book and are partway through a wonderfully more complex version with hard covers hinged with cloth. Our teacher has promised that we will each make at least three books - maybe four if we're fast workers. I'll post pictures of everything at the end. I am loving it SO MUCH. It's fun and exciting and so very satisfying to see something beautiful come together. I am amazed that I can do this! Our workshop leader is awesome - not just incredibly skilled at making book art, but incredibly skilled at explaining procedures in a clear and detailed fashion.
Must remember I don't have the time and energy for a new hobby. Or my old hobbies, actually.
