If you google Google you get 785,000,000 results. :P Just an FYI.

Yesterday at theater went swimmingly. It was unbelievable. I'd been praying since Tuesday. The director was way less evil and showed glimpses of being brilliant. It was amazing. Next week, is Tech Week, where they're gonna run through the whole show with costumes, lights, set, makeup, band...everything. Late nights.



I really want to redo my banner. I'm considering dropping the LP from my shop name and just going with 'rjax'. That might cause confusion though, because 'rJax' isn't my name on Etsy. At any rate that banner is old.

I made one of a pair of new earrings. They're white. I kinda like them, but I think something's missing. Of course, I've been told I don't have to LOVE everything I make. And I do like them enough to list them. I just feel like there should be more to them.

Face it

Something's wrong with me. I don't know what.

My metal projects are at a standstill. I've been too stressed and sluggish to work on them. August 13th I'll be one happy sister. Unless I have a job. Then I'll still be stressed.

Um, I could go on, but it's probably best that I don't. I'll post a pretty picture for you, though.


My brother took this. I think it's nice.

Dear Blog Readers

How do you recommend dealing with an overbearing, tyrannical crazy person?

We're about 10 days away from opening night at theater. The director is the aforementioned person. I almost walked out last night, the first night of set working with the cast. The first night of set crew moving set...and we didn't have a full crew. I just about never quit. That I considered it shocked me, but she was unbearable.


Addendum:
I would put this in a new post but it would put it above this one and then it wouldn't be right. Thanks to thymbyldesigns of Etsy, the way you combat thoughts of the mad director, you watch vidoes from a different type of mad director

Bits and Pieces and Glitter

So I'm reusing an entry title...sorta. It's my blog. hehe




[bit 1]
I found this bookcase on Stylefeeder months ago. More recently, I started a link list on Thisnext. I even have a badge on my sidebar. Anyway, I linked this on Thisnext and today it was on the front page. That was exciting.

We worked like slaves on the set for theater. We painted the stage. It's kinda striped, but I blame the ballet...long story. I painted the roof on Unit C, you don't know what that is, but being 5'2" that was a feat for me. We painted the floor of Units A and C. We painted tables, the headboard for the bed, the outside of Unit C, started the Fruma Sarah unit (we're doing Fiddler on the Roof). I'm tired...but it felt good to get so much done.

This could have been part of piece 1 but oh well. The builder guy for our set stuff thinks that our stage manager, a girl younger than me and the guy's like in his sixties, doesn't like him. We can't figure that out. But the director had left it up to us, the set crew to make amends. Apparently, that didn't work too well. Who knew that really drama of theater is backstage?

My custom order sold. I didn't doubt that it would. I just didn't expect it too so quickly. I felt so grown-up having a reserve listing in my shop. It was there a few hours anyway.

[glitter]
I listed this today. You can click the picture to go to the listing. I found these in on of my many storage things for art/craft supplies. I don't know what possessed me to purchase it. Maybe when I had to make Valentine's day cards for my old homeschool volunteer group. I'd say that was it, except that both tubes are still pretty much full. Ah well, there yours for the taking.

I'll try not to jam so much into an entry next time. But a lot happened today and I wanted to keep everyone posted.

Accomplished

So I completed my first online custom order. I feel so accomplished. I'd had offline orders, for my mom, an aunt and a family friend. But to get one on Etsy was really exciting.
