Weekend Blurble- O.O.O.O.O

Spent waaay too much time this weekend looking at the Olympics, reading about the Olympics...writing about the Olympics. It's interesting how they captivate the world, how unifying athletics can be.

I'm gonna have to push myself to get anything done. I finished my custom request in terms of burning and drawing. Now I must seal and magnetize. I'm excited about it. I hope she likes them.

Mom finished the invites she was making for the woman who placed that in-flux commission with me. They looked really nice. I'll have to see if I can get a pic of one of the proofs. I get a cut since I edited the picture, retook the picture, edited that picture. We ended up using a blend of two photos. Yeah, Photoshop!

She also thinks, my dear mother, that I should do two markets on Thursday. I think that's a little bit much, especially since, now, our tent is broken. Dad and Bro1 returned it...but now I don't have one. I miss it. I want to take the week off...but I shouldn't. I shouldn't.

[ria] and BUTTONS!

It rained again, yesterday. Complete with thunder and lighting and wind. Then the sun comes out like, "What? Did I miss something?" As the song goes, it dries up all the rain, then it rains again. Ah, the weather.

In other news, my buttons came, the pinbacks I ordered from Christine Renee. They're made from my plaid scraps and I love them all...so pretty! They'll be in the shop soon, a little reluctantly. But really, I shouldn't keep that much plaid buttony goodness all for myself. I can share. :)

I did get to see part of the Opening Ceremonies. The parade of nations is my favorite part...and the lighting of the torch. This month has been mostly good times. I'm thankful.

Reeling

Rain...a funny thing.

To cut straight to the chase, I sold six items at the market today. Thrilled, you betcha! I tried not to look completely stunned when the compliments turned to sales. So long I've had to subsist on compliments...which I love but it's a little frustrating when that's all you get.

One of my buyers actually lives in Europe, she was in CT visiting family. She bought a pair of Leaflets and a bracelet. Met a super-charming little girl with her hair in Shirley Temple curls. Quite a talker, she was. Another lady was a metalsmith and considered setting up shop there one day, too. I inspire people. :)

Then at a little before 1 o'clock the heavens opened and it poured. Our tent has removable sides but this time we un-removed them and waited for the Bros to come back, they'd taken the car.

Now I must work on new items and/or remakes. I needed this.

Admittedly, blogging is my fave part of my to-do's. I should prolly keep until I've done some of my least favorite things. Like sanding. I don't like sanding.

I didn't do the market today. It rained again, but then the sun came out and I could have gone, but I was all unwound by then. (Can't explain that any better.) So I dropped off the photograph that I sold. The buyer wanted it matted and framed. I ended up making about $4. Ah well. It looked nice.

Must search for pictures of celtic knots, cupcakes, and bars of soap. Woodburned custom requests! Yay!

The Olympics start in 2 days. I'm excited about this. I love the Olympics...correction, I love opening ceremonies. heh

[taris] Dots

Multi-tasking often leads to more procrastination that actual completion. I'm living proof.

I'm trying to find information on creating my own blogger template. As you can tell I've changed from the one I used to have. If you have any information, beyond the basic font/color change that blogger allows, I'd appreciate it.

Not much going on, really. I have to go to the market tomorrow and the other one on Thursday. It's a sort of habit now. My suitcase is packed. I'm not as nervous. Seriously hoping that I do well. Yeah. Chugging through my list of to-do's. Sort of lazy day.
