Well, I was right, no Burning Man for me this year because I'm too immersed in a new project, making a baby girl! I'm in San Francisco for my birthday but there's no metal work for me in the meantime. It's just fun and games this visit.
It has been strange not being able to work in the shop. I've found some projects around the house to occupy my time and I'm taking a drawing class so I do have some form of a creative outlet, but I look forward to getting dirty with some metal again in the future. Until then, it's baby time.
