So I joined another Flickr group, started by the lovely mlee, for sketching. I wasn't going to because I don't sketch. I definitely don't share the sketches I do. Because I have been such a perfectionist, it's a laborious thing, that I don't really like. But it's necessary at times.
My mom requested a magnet...or something, for her hairdresser. "That is IT!" is a saying of hers, the hairdresser. I drew a blank (heh, pun unintended) like I always do when first presented with a custom request. Then I took out my cheap-o sketch book, that is really filled with more writing that drawing and drew out this. I saw it in a flash and tried to sketch it out. I guess I CAN do it better than I think I can. I think...maybe.
I can't say I'll sketch everyday. A lot of my work just doesn't require it...to me. But I'll give it another shot. Lately I've been learning to give things, people, a second chance...or third, fourth, eighty-ninth. Haha. I'm so much better than I was. I can't give up now.

I've broken through a huge mental block/conniption. I'm such a mental person, I think all the time. For a while I was so unable to focus. But I've largely let go. I still have it on my mind, but it's not as consuming. Change! It's exciting, too.
Did some burning today. I actually finished a new set of magnets. It's been so grey and rainy here though I haven't been able to get around to taking pictures. I made a change in the process, the way I wanted to do it all along. I'm pleased.
I went grocery shoppin' with my mom and I met Colin Cowherd. (I'm not tellin' you what store.) He's a radio talk show host on ESPN. I love his show. Like seriously. I may not have come out much that I'm a bit of a sports junkie. But I met him, was starstruck and smiled a lot. Haha! It was weird.
I also got un-NIPSA'd on Flickr. Not totally blog-worthy but hey...
So, yeah, hopefully I'll get some decent pics of my new things soon. Sun, please, I'd like to see you again.

A favorite
It's a commercial from the Super Bowl. I actually went to a party and was too busy 'socializing' to see most of the commercials. A big deal is always made of the Super Bowl commercials. The crowd had thinned by the time this one aired. Love it! Enjoy!

Let's see
I don't know what to say. Just typin' randomly and see what happens. (only for semi-experienced sober bloggers...extremely dangerous otherwise...hehe)
I'm tired of feeling the way I do. I'm tired of it. For real. I'm tired of fighting myself, fighting the world and whatever powers that be. I thought I'd caught a break, that things were changing. But everything's really still the same. I'm left to wonder, and wander, alone...again. I'm so disappointed.
I should mention that it's the Super Bowl. I want the Patriots to win. It's more a regional alliance for me than a real deep caring as it with the Yankees. Yankee love is genetic, generational for me. Plus, then they'd go undefeated for the whole season. In a past life I was a sports junkie. I still keep up with some stuff.
Bought new thread yesterday. My family keeps giving me gift certificates to a local bead store. It would be better if they just gave me the money, haha, but I know they won't do that. It's mostly pastels. I'll have to see what I can come up with. I could have bought all the colors they had, but I just couldn't use the whole gift certificate at once. There were other things I needed, but it's better to buy them online, in bulk.
Well, I'll say that's the end of my post. Not too bad.
Post Picture:New magnets to be listed later this week. I lurves the stick people. :)

I'm 2!
On Etsy, I am 2! I can hardly believe it. Though this last month, the last 5 months have been seemed to creep by, my Etsy time seems to have flown by. I got a sale, today, too. So that was nice. :)
I've come a ways in regards to my shop. I still have a lot I want to do. Don't we all? I'm in a way better state of mind then I was a year ago. So it's mostly good.
Post Pictures: I uploaded several of the banners that I've used in my shop over the last two years. The top was the first. The bottom one is the current one. There were lots more in between that just weren't that interesting or that I deleted. It's interesting to see them together. The changes, the memories, the same.
