Well?

Well, I am not sure what I have to share! I am (nearly) rested from this fall's busy schedule, which is leaving me a little short on creating Christmas cheer. What I'd really like is a massage, a hot tub, another bottle of wine, someone to come in and clean my house, fill my refrigerator, bake the cookies, and put up the Christmas decorations. Oh yes, there is package wrapping to be done. The two remaining orders I have to fill (yes, yes, I know, I know) I will gladly tackle, just as soon as I get both brain cells functioning - at the same time! The good news is...this year we agreed - only things which will fit into a stocking and the entire thing cannot exceed $100.00. Sounded easy at the time, but, of course, it has proven challenging!
So, for now I leave you with tremendous thanks for all you give to me during the year and for those words of encouragement that let me know why I do what I do! Take care, eat a cookie for me, and take a moment to remember how important you are.

I don't understand

There is just so much I don't understand. Like - when I go to a web address and attempt to navigate I don't understand how I can get so lost! Or, why do I have to take a long walk every day when I probably walk a mile or two just around the house, looking for something I know is somewhere, here, in the house. Or, when you attempt to do something for yourself or your loved ones and instead of helping it turns into a huge, HUGE mess that you do not know how to fix. The list goes on.

As you can see the hours are swiftly passing by until our next show. The final one of the year. After that I just have four or so orders to fill and then I can think about the upcoming holidays. Don't get me wrong, I love doing shows. I love doing the creative side of life. I just don't understand how to not let it take over my life entirely.

I did manage (with Mindy's help) to get three new items posted on Etsy yesterday! That took me hours! Like this probably will. No, it can't I only have three days until the show!

I also don't understand how the individuals featured in the publications show the studio where they create being so neat and tidy. Creation is messy! So, here is my plan. I am taking photos of my studio, where I create. After I am finished (for now) creating I will take photos of my studio cleaned up. I will post the clean studio photos first and then, when you least suspect, I will post the REAL studio photos - complete with thoughts of "why, why, why" and "what were you thinking?" Look for that, coming soon to a Blog near you!

We will talk soon, you and I. I hope to see you this Saturday. Be sure to let me know if you are following this by leaving a comment and if you want to share with your friends or another site, by all means do so. Understand?

Until next time.
