Another Day working hard!!

Wow am running hard to beat the clock now!!
Is very normal for me. Wait until deadline and then push like anything to get things done!
But this time was different really...I have been working on things for months actually...getting ready for different craft shows. The only thing is, is, I am very picky about my work...it has to be just so so for me to even begin to think of showing it much less selling it...and I know from past experiences that you really need so much in items to do a craft show right...and I am seeing that even though it looks like a ton here to me right now...as I assemble things...they number of finished items is getting so much less. Well I tried! I can say that! 
I just can not have a years worth of work in a month or two....not when everything is made completely by hand. 
And my things are just that completely by hand!
So I will go to this show with what little I have completed and hope for the best and then begin to place all my work online for sale.

Am still having a terrible time with my car here. Wow!
The battery is dying dying dying! 
What will I do with no car? That is a serious problem really because I am the sole person that does all the shopping, food and otherwise for this household. 
Yes am a Care Giver to a Quadreplegic man....and have been for almost 19 years now...will be 19 in December actually...but life has been very hard for us...we live really day to day...not knowing what our tomorrow will be money wise. We have nearly nothing but at least we have a roof over our heads right?
I do have family here...but I also think they are not willing to help me...and that is a problem.
Help all those that truly don't need the help and turn your back on those that do...common place for my family...so need to just get use to that!
We will survive in spite of all obstickles we will survive!!

That may not sit too well with so,e of my family members....but you know what...that is just too darn bad!! Sorry folks...I will be here long after you are done with your games!!

On the brighter side of life....
I is too dang hot here! This is southern Florida and wow it is extremely hot! 
The meter reads about 88 right now...but it feels like 188! 
Think that is all this heavy duty humidity that we have...and if and when it rains....and it normally does every single day....it never even cools it down for even a half hour! I is like an oven! And it stay like an oven rain or shine!
Was wanting to make this my final home...but don't think that is going to happen really. It is just too hot here for me....not to speak of my two dogs with their double coats of hair! OMG!!
And NO...NO...NO...you don't shave a Great Pyrenees! 
Well some do...but it is really not a good idea, because that coat they have protects them from both heat and cold! But there are some that simply will not even begin to understand this.
So no no no....my dogs will never ever be shaved!
That is really just stupid!

Well it is back to the grind here lol! 
My work has to be done by the evening of the 8th! Oh NOOOO!!
Yup!
Sure does! The festival is the 9th! 
Stress...nah....no stress! Stress makes a mess!
So no stress here! Lol! Right!
Am really looking forward to the festival though...it has been a good while since I have really done one...and it is exciting to me! Love meeting new folks! Love selling things! Yup a festival is right up my alley!!

Wow Back Again So Soon...Cool!!

Woohoo...I made it back again! Am proud of me tonight...well early this morning! Woohoo!

Had a very busy busy day today! Pushing out things as fast as I can is not normally my way of creating anything...but have a deadline this time...woohoo....so have to push!

Very hot here today in Cocoa, Florida! Whew! Was sort of waiting on rain to cool things down...of course waiting on it and it never happens lol! That is okay...the AC was fine!

Lots of things on my mind...but so late I think I will just say goodnight here and call it a nite!
Need to figure out how to add images here so I can share my beautiful dogs here too....and my work!
That is something I would love to do! But alas...I don't know how to do this other then from images that I already have listed in this blog :(
Wow! Really do need to figure this one out!
So I will think on this...gather my URL's that hold many images that I have already...and see what I can do! Or not do! Too bad most of everything has to be in writing here. Not that I don't have a ton to say...because I am never at a loss for words it seems....but I would sure love to add a few things other then words! Dang!
Oh me...will check this out tomorrow or later today!
So for now....nite nite....

Wow long time again....but still around!!

Been a very long time in between post. Had a hard time figuring out how to use my Blog from my iPad, so am really hoping this works. Guess I will see!
What is up in my life U^I^U
Dogs?? Yes....always me and my dogs!
We have moved out of Jacksonville, finally...OMG am so glad to be out of that place! I is not a bad place, but you know how if you stay in one place that has meant something very bad to you, and that could be any reason really...you really feel relieved to get out!
I don't like being so far from my Dad...he will be 97 in September, and that I think is the only reason I sometimes wish I had stayed there, even though staying there was ruining my spirit for living.
I am still taking care of Chuck...so he is here in Cocoa Florida too. And of course there is Maggie and Stormy with me.
I live fairly close to really good friends here, so that also makes a lot of difference.
I see them so much more then I ever saw my own family while living in Jacksonville all those years.
I is extremely hot down here though, OMG it is so hot! But beautiful really!

I have finally begun to really work with my clay. Gosh...I thought I never would get back to that. But I did and am! Started out making "Charms" so am really going to town on that because I love making miniatures always have!!
Will be going to my first festival in fact on the 9th of August...so really have to get down to finishing so many different pieces I have already made.
Am very excited about this! Even found myself a name for my work! Lol "Whimsy Bits"! Do you like it? It really does speak of me! Everything is whimsical, fanciful, pretty, and what you might see in a fairy tale. I have only just begun working back in my clay, polymer clay...and these Charms are something new to me. I am more use to making fairies and such....but I thought this would be a fun change, and teeny tiny things are really what I love to make anyway. So we will see. Will have to figure out how to post photos in here of my work. I know there has to be a way lol!
Will figure that out a bit later though.
Just feels great to have found my Blog again...and hopefully now, now that I am settled in my home, I can really use this Blog! Have had it for about 8 years and only used it here and there....most there right?? Lol
Well that is all for this morning...but will some how bookmark this spot so I can find my way back...to do more posting.
Would love to post photos of my dogs here too. See just got to figure out how!!
Really out of practice right? Yup I know! But don't think I ever posted photos in here though. I do know many folks do so have to figure this out.
Was really happy to see my background work lasted the test of time also! Really did not know what to expect...other then being able to write in here!
Remember folks...I no longer own a computer...I own an iPad :)
Well a laptop too...okay you got me there...but the iPad is what I always use anymore. If I pull out my laptop, the first thing I do is try to use it with a touch screen...and got to tell ya all it doesn't quite work so well doing that lol!! Nope nope and nope!!
So I do use my iPad for everything anymore. And not always does Apple allow some things to come up on the screen. Like even things I had loaded down the side of my blog...they do not show up! :(
Disturbing I guess...but I can live with it no problem!
I like using the iPad too much to complain really.
Well am going to scoot and see if there is any linkage to my Facebook page...gee that would also be completely awesome!

Well till the next type out....which now that I found my way here will not be far off...and who knows...I may become a regular every day Blogger!! Cool!!

Till next time...love your dogs...hugs them extra one time before going to sleep...smile and be at harmony with all your surrounding....love and peace.....(((hugs))) xoxo
