Good Grief
I know I have set my mood to irritated. I don't like that. I'm normally happy but you know there are just some days when you have to scream so i'll explain. Hopefully without spreading any unhappiness.
I had one of those garage sales I talked about and it was fun and I made quite a bit. The bad part came afterwards when I was coerced by a certain family member (bad mistake on my part) to gather up the remaining loot at the end of the day and take it to Goodwill instead of saving it for next week where I might have made more pocket change.
But what the mean, arrogant, man at the charity place did to my nice stuff was inexcusable. I think he broke half of it just throwing it into the bin! I was heartbroken and needless to say I am not donating to that charity anymore! And I really wish I had my stuff back! I'm still really, really upset.
Maybe it's silly but today I am decidedly irritated.
I'm baaak!
Allo, tis me
I'm back from my excursion and a little bit worse for wear but I survived all the idosyncracies (fey and otherwise)
of being put up in strange houses; greasy meals and tests of my wheat intolerance, pouring rain and doggie love
and attention from the resident canines of said houses, and an almost flat tire from a slow leak that refuses to
show itself. Ack. And the enthusiasim I had before for house cleaning is gone, pouf.
But I had some time to clear my head, work on a beading project and spend too much for bargains in a bookstore
that was closing and way more than I expected in in a fabulous bead store I found. I haven't finished the bracelet
but I hope to get some pictures posted soon.
Spring Cleaning
Well, it is starting to get really warm here so I decided it was time to turn my part of the house upside down for some cleaning. One day I might even make room for a real studio instead of having to sit on the bed with a drawing board! And now there is an extra couch in the dining room er, hehe I think the junk lady from Jareth's labyrinth paid a hose call and left some things here for storage er, heh, but anyway.
I am hoping I will get another project done after I go visiting next week. Alas I finally realized what is really important and decided to quit my paying job. Garage sales and tax refunds will keep me going for a while. It's going to be an adventure.
A friend and I were sharing some of our old work and I got to thinking of all the slides I have of my own stuff. I wanted to share them but the only inexpensive slide scanner I could find was back ordered for 4 months and well some of the pieces I did back then are no longer in existance (long and painful story.)
Well, time to go.

New Felted Project
I've posted a picture of my new felted piece I wanted to share. The theme was Sun, Moon, Stars and I came up with a celestial dragon. I will probably polish it with a few more details and hang it on my door. Not sure what I will be doing next. Some bead projects might be in order.
Happy St. Patricks Day!
I know it is a bit late in the day (I've been busy shopping, eating corned beef and cabbage and then I had to work tonight.) But I did not want one of my favorite days to go by without happy wishes. I'm half Irish and I probably still have some ties to folks there but it has been several generations since anyone looked up the lineage. I would love to visit someday. Had the opportunity in college and didn't take it, forever sorry.
Till the next
