was wondering about that movie....

is the health care system there good? bad? is it all the things the American republicans say it is?

what are Zentangles????

I don't think you are weird for wanting to decorate for xmas...:)now the crafty thing...just kidding...I actually really like making crafty things...it's not as...intense as art making.

Health care IS good ...free at any rate. Because my knee isn't classified as "emergency" I get shunted to the end of the line. Which is fine. I understand that. It just takes so long to get answers. I don't think that's any different no matter where you are though.

Zentangles ... featured in Cloth Paper Scissors ... as Faun says, a directed doodle. I just like how they were presented I guess. It appeals to my crafty desire right now. :)

hmmm. Good point about craft being less intense. Maybe that's what I need right now.

Funny you should mention about 2x2 squares ... I had a bunch of these cut from bookboard from some long ago project. (hmmmm ... windows cut OUT of something I think) And I'm covering them with paper and waiting to see what ends up on'em. :)

You moved! So yep. I'll need your address. jen AT jenworden.com

For me the pull to make crafts has to do with much more immediate gratification. When looking at a piece of craft, the decision making is based on principles of design. Well crafted? balanced? pretty? decorative. Even functional. But, no big stress about composition, uniqueness.

Recieving money for something created is just plain satisfying. Online or in rl. Not to late to list for the Christmas holiday unless most of your sales come from the u.s. and take more than two weeks to arrive.

I don't think you should risk permanently damaging your knee.

Popcorn has good fiber :D

Its 80 degrees here today, blegh

Yep. I think it's the "less stress" thing that's appealing to me right now. I had little idea how much my body AND my brain needs a rest, I guess.

Thanks for the advice Tricia. xo

Ditto on your knee! (what tricia_joy said)

...and popcorn is a staple, isn't it? ;-)))

Oh, I eat a lot of popcorn. Just generally not *as* a meal. ;)

...didn't mean to imply that popcorn was a staple for you...wrong choice of word!
I meant one of the major food groups!!!

Not too late for xmas market this is the PERFECT time. Post Halloween especially the last 2 weeks of NOV is when I usually have had my best sales... that being said as Etsy has become massive each year I tend to get lets sales. Just too much out there.

I need to take photos of my remaining stock and get it up there while it's shopping season. Not sure I can get to new stuff I'm struggling with getting creative (which is why I didn't sign up for the ornament swap - did you end up doing it?)

First, gotta say I LOVE your new icon. :D

And yah, I hear ya on the overblown etsy thing. Doesn't make me want to do it any less though. Crazy.

Don't underestimate how taxing training is on your system. As you know, my creativity plummeted last summer. Initially I beat myself about it, then I said, "Meh. This too shall pass." und it deed. (ref. Rocky Horror :)

re: ornie swap ...yep. just 4 of us though.
