Making Masks
I made my first mask yesterday, using a couple of Halloween themed printed fabrics, cotton flannel, and a lining of solid colored cotton. Oh gosh, if I type this out, I'm going to start my day out crying. But, here we go. Let's see if I can organize my thoughts well enough this morning. I'm a little over halfway through my coffee, so, yeah. My ( Read more... ) -
Dreams of Steph
I had a dream last night with Steph in it. We were in Amarillo, hanging out in her room. I tried to tell her things about the wedding that she missed, but Mitchell tried to shush me, like we were going to have a re-do of our wedding that would have Steph in it and we were trying to keep it a secret that she had missed the wedding already. It felt ( Read more... ) -
Halloween thoughts... really Autumn thoughts, but whatevs
I would honestly prefer to be writing in my physical journal, but I have too many things I'm trying to accomplish to take the time to go out on the porch and write with my dip-pen and ink. So, LJ it is! At least while I'm having my lunch hour ( Read more... ) -
Random Thoughts: Product Photography
For the most part, I'm the model in my product photography. Now, this was initially because I had zero funds to hire anyone to model from me. I don't know about now, but around that time TFP (trade for photos) was heavily utilized by makers to get free modeling and photos to utilize in their shops. It always rubbed me the wrong way, so I never ( Read more... ) -
August 15
It's been ten years since I married someone I thought I'd be with for the rest of my life only for it to turn out as a spectacular failure. I decided today I would dress up and feel my best as I did my regular sewing work. And right now, I feel rather great. I like what's happening in my life at the moment. I have a good few path options moving ( Read more... ) -
How do I even
My sister Stephanie died Mothers Day weekend, May 13. Well, except that the incident happened on May 12, and the testing for brain functions didn't complete until 3:04 am ( Read more... ) -
Thoughts on the "creative" shopper
It never fails to happen. Being an artist/crafter who sells my works at shows, there will always be someone who comments outloud that what I make isn't that hard to do and they can replicate it themselves instead of paying for my item. Some people are somewhat subtle about it; some people really don't care about subtly nor the fact that the hands ( Read more... ) -
Final
I posted this to facebook yesterday, and since I did try to keep a record of the things that happened over the past year on here (private or friends only posts), I think it should be added here as well.
Divorce is done. For those who don't know, Eric had been having an affair with Marianne Bray since possibly January of 2011. He was financially ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Today (er...yesterday) I picked up divorce papers from the sheriff's office. Eric waited the 90 day minimum to file within the county, lying to me every step of the way about how he would do counseling after the four months were up. He even played up how he had looked into it but hadn't gotten to go by the place because of their business hours. ( Read more... ) -
