Another weekend of procrastinating

The light is on at my jewelry desk, but I am not there. I have rearranged my projects a few times, but have decided to check my e-mail. Good thing too...there was an e-mail from an old friend I have not heard from in 2-3 years and Mom sent me a site that had Donn and I laughing until we cried called Stuff on my Cat (http://www.stuffonmycat.com/index.php?blogid=1&startpos=10). It is a must see. The real fat cat with the overalls is the best. Now I must go to my jewelry desk and start making bezels or something. Wish me luck!!

PROCRASTINATION

Okay...Here it is my day to get started on projects for the Christmas Show.....I guess I needed to check e-mail first? The cat wants attention (so hard to resist her). I need to eat breakfast and find some coffee to drink. I need to get music playing. I want to go see mom's class at around 12. It is 10:30 now. Oh the crap that you think of when you have a daunting task in front of you and limited time. T minus your weekend and counting... Okay lets get going already!

Watching the game at zodos

It was such a promising start. The whole bar chearing and yelling for the raiders. Good beer at least. Nov. show starting to wear on me allready. Nothing done yet. This weekend is my kick off. Where to start? What to make? (big sigh)

Weeks lost

It has been over a month now since I have had a chance to turn my computer on. Saying that I have been busy would be an understatement. I have been able to get a couple shots off with my camera phone though. I went on my first cruise in the last week of July (see drink of the day pict). That was sooo fun! I felt so spoiled. I went to Ozzfest a couple weekends ago, and that was great too! Last weekend Donn and I took the Amtrak to San Diego to finally visit my friend Anna. Only took me a couple of years to get the opportunity. That was fun! I so hope I can make that happen more often. I feel like between work and fun I have not been home in a long time. My cat really misses us. My house is overwhelmingly a mess. And to top it all off...November is just around the corner...AAAHHH!!!! So much Jewelry to do and already no time. Hopefully work will settle down and I can actually have time to do something after I get home at night. We will see.

Rob zombie playing at ozzfest. had a blast! too bad his other show got canceled.

WOW....Still Not Recovered

All last week I was sick or overwhelmed with work. I had hopped to recover over the weekend, but I am now suffering from a cold. At least Donn and I managed to make it to the beach on Sun. Boy that was a nice day! I am not too sunburned either. We need to do that more often. I had a blast on the 4th of July. Donn and me went to a friend's party in Santa Barbara and played tippy cup. Loads of fun! Then, at about 7:45 PM we all headed out for the peir to watch the fireworks. They were fantastic! Right over our heads. We headed back but got side tracked and ended up reaching home at 2 AM or so. Big mistake with a crazy day at work for the 5th. I was sooo tired, I had to take an hour nap in my car before I could drive home. Then on Thur. I had some bad salsa and felt sick most of Fri. Sat. I went to my Mom's for an art day with Carol K, but I was not myself and a bit under the weather. I guess I am not as young as I think. I should go to bed right now, but it is way too hot to sleep. Maybe my cold will be better tommorow and I can finally get to some art. Cross your fingers for me.

Brain still not functioning

I had a TOTAL blast at True Colors!!! Met some fun people and we all had similar art interests yet totally different art styles . Gave me a two day migraine (all pain controlled with meds) it was that good. Work is rubbing out some of the memories. I will try to recapture them on this three day weekend! I am so inspired. I plan to make a bunch of ATCs and go to mom's to show her the wax techniques I learned and start two more journals and finish my project and and and.... I better settle down.. bed time is next. I will go into more detail this weekend. I need to PLAY MORE!!! and so does everyone else. Looking to start some trades!

More from true colors

sat class t.c.e.

I am at true colors

So much fun already! Except for the drive. Went to club art bar and got my shots of paint and canvas along with a project. That was fun. Already did some trading and hope to do more tommorow. I will write more later and send a pic or 2. I am writing this from my phone and my thumb is tired.

June 6th with mom at Shell Beach for her first showing there. She took a break and I could not help mysel: I had to paint something too. 

Captain Ahab Jr. in mid-laugh 

Cachuma Lake

Donn And me went to Cachuma Sat. for his company picnic part of which included a free boat rental. We got so carried away in the boat we missed the BBQ. We were sooo sunburned and tired, we did not even bother to drive down to the site. We just left. The boat was so fun though! Donn was the captain, of course. I want to just relax and enjoy the ride. Donn is now Captain Ahab Jr. (or Reh-hab prenounced ray-hab) We laughed a lot! Got to see a lot of Western Grebes and their very cute babies. You could see them getting a ride on their parent's back. CUTE CUTE CUTE. Some of the males charged are boad and squaked loudly before they dove under us. Today I have been procrastinating from getting my AJPs done. I better get to it!

My new necklace not finished

ATC for True Colors 

I finally made a necklace, just for me. I rarely do because I always just see the flaws. Most of the jewelry I wear that I have made is because I think no one is getting it, or the clasp is wierd. This time I designed it from scratch just for me. It is basically finished, I just have to finish the strap. I might wear it without untill I find more time.

The True Colors weekend getaway is in a couple of weeks and I have sooooo much to finish!! I am so excited to go though. I better remember to take Excedrine to avoid a migrane. The one I got from Art Unraveled lasted almost a week. I actually had to take time off work. I hate having to do that. I will post some photos when I figure that out.

Exp.

First Time

I hope this will be my first step to being able to share my work and inspiration with others.
