So much for NaBloPoMo

I was doing so damn good this year too :(

Oh well. Guess there's always next year. And I didn't even TOUCH my short story.

I would like to say that Thanksgiving was incredibly awesome - just me and the hubby and tons of food. And altho we're still suffering money-wise, we're gonna be okay. As long as we have each other.

And, side note, I'm prolly the worst sister ever. My sister called me today on her way home from work and let's just say the hormones are really kicking in. I made the mistake of saying that to her and she basically hung up on me.

so yea. I suck.

Day #26

HAPPY TURKEY DAY!!!!!

Day #24

WTF DWTS!!!???!!!

I cannot believe Donny Osmond won!!!!

Day #23

EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL

YOU MUST SEE IT!!!!!

Review to come tomorrow - presumably when i've stopped laughing enough to be able to type coherent sentences.

xoxoxox

Day #22

LIONS WON!!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Day #21

Well the show was kind of a success. I didn't do spectacular, but i did actually make a little money at this one, so   it was definitely much, much better than the last few i did. I gotta bust out a ton this week for the Rock N rummage show next friday in Ypsi and also make those special order bottlecaps for Great Lakes Watch Co. And then i think i'm done for the season. I might check into a show closer to Xmas, but all in all in think from now on i'm working on updating my shop and building up stock for next year so i'm not so crazy.

Day #20

So I follow Christopher Moore on twitter and I'm his fan on FB and of course i subscribe to his blogs on myspace - basically i'm a big giant cyber stalker cuz i love his work. Well today he featured someone else's writing in his blog - AND HE'S A MICHIGANDER!!!!

Mike Spradlin - and I totally want his book, It's beginning to look alot like Zombies: A book of Zombie Christmas Carols

Day #19

so tired today. I'm quite sure the crappy weather is to blame and NOT the fact that i didn't get to sleep until sometime around 7AM (*SHUSH*). I did sleep until 1:30PM, so i got a decent amount of sleep, but i wanted more. And since I don't usually drink coffee around the house, i am dragging today. If i get my bottlecaps done tonight i will be SO lucky!!!

So super quick post just to say hi cuz i gotta glue the images in the caps and pour them full of resin and HOPE they dry in time *crosses fingers and toes*

xoxoxox

Day #18

I"m so excited! I got an email today from the guy i spoke with in Livonia and he wants an order of 60 bottlecaps!!! YAY!!!! of course i gave him a super discount so i'm not making nearly the money i would make if it were retail, but most of them are gonna be giveaways for his company anyway. And it gets my product out there in a different way! So maybe someone else will see them and want some for themselves!! YAY!!!

Day #17

So the guy that I talked to at the Livonia Elks show emailed me regarding making some bottlecaps for his business. So i made a couple mockups (I love Photoshop) and sent them back to him. Just waiting on his reply. I think they look awesome, but then I'm partial to my work.

I also ordered some holiday images from an etsy seller instead of working on gleaning images and making them myself cuz frankly my puter is running so slow lately it's driving me insane. We really need to update it - or upgrade. I WISH we could get into that $1200 deal at Best Buy where you get the desktop, laptop and netbook with Windows 7, but that's a pipe dream. We can't even spend $12 on a new puter right now.

Day #16

So we were supposed to try and get tickets tonight for Evil Dead the Musical, but money is really really tight right now and even tho the tix are only $10 each we just can't afford anything extra. Especially since hubby didn't get paid again on Monday like he's supposed to. I'm just gonna have to start planning for Tuesday to be his payday and budget accordingly. 1 day shouldn't make that much of a difference, but it does when you're pretty much living from paycheck to paycheck. Those due on dates don't always fall nicely where you need them. So there's alot of creative balancing going on in our household. Seriously I forget what it's like to have a disposable income.

Day #15

really - why do i even bother???

Once again the Lions lost. I know we have 1 win on the season, but i really was expecting a little more from them. Plus it would have been REALLY nice to kick Brett Favre's azz in his Minnesota purple uniform. Our defense did a good job getting to him tho. They really stepped it up. And Stafford's looking good. He's still underthrowing C. Johnson (really - some of the passes were below his knees - C. Johnson's over 6 feet tall - throw HIGHER!!!) but he had nice presence in the pocket and didn't panic under pressure.

Day #14

Well, today was the show and it sucked. Really really sucked. And not just for me - for pretty much everyone there. They said they only had about 130 people come through the doors. And at the end of the night when they did the raffle winners for all the donated items from the vendors, it was the vendors that won the prizes lol. The guy that was next to me won my item. I donated a Shaggy Loops Jewelry Set (necklace, earrings and bracelet).

I did make a couple connections tho. One guy wants me to make cap keychains with his business logo, which is kinda cool. He's gonna email me the font they used for his logo and i'm gonna see what I can do.

Day #13

friday here and I'm totally stressing about the show tomorrow. I know i shouldn't. I'll prolly be fine. But I don't have alot of bottlecap pendants made (only about 100 different ones) and chances are someone is gonna ask for something i don't have. it always happens. This is why I'm working on my inventory over the winter months - so I can have tons of stuff when we go back to the bigger shows.


Nothing much to report other that that. Money is stressing me out as usual and it doesn't help that I'm PMSing. I hate being a woman sometimes.

Went today to the Armenian dinner w/ Marvin. It was the last one until May 2010 and it was jam packed! and the food was amazingly delicious as usual. i'm sure gonna miss it :( wish i would have taken a pic of my plate tonight but quite frankly it didn't last long at all lol. i know it's just kebabs, pilaf and salad - but homemade makes such a diference. anyway, i'm remote blogging from my phone to make it on time for NaNoBloPo and it's ready to die - so adios for now xoxox

Day #9

Spent today doing absolutely nothing constructive. Okay - 1 thing - I actually made dinner tonight. Arroz con pollo. I didn't have exactly the ingredients I wanted, so I improvised with what we had around the house. It turned out yummy tho! Normally I would have added chile ancho and tomato paste, but since i didn't have any i settled for regular chili powder. I'll post a recipe tomorrow - today is all about being lazy lol.

And I did it again! really! why do i even bother hoping for a victory when the end result is almost entirely the same? 20 - 31 loss against a crappy Seattle team! It makes me wanna cry! or punch someone in the face! Honestly! 5 interceptions from Matthew Stafford?!?! GAH!!! And how many yards did CJ put up? 10? Completely ineffective offense today. Thank goodness for our defense or it would have been an even worse loss!!!

Today was the craft show at the church in South Lyon. I made my table fee plus covered the cost of lunch. It was rather disappointing, but as someone else i spoke to pointed out, the average age of people there was about 70 and my stuff is definitely geared towards a younger crowd. The most heard comment about my stuff as I sat there was "well this is different!" - I'm taking it as a compliment.

Yesterday was such sadness. I think it was this week last year that the Lions caused me to cry when they lost (and looking it up - yes it was Nove. 2nd week 9 vs. Chicago IN Chicago where we lost 27 - 23 that brought me to actual tears) So apparently about halfway through is a breaking point for me (either that or somethign about this time fo the year causes me to be weepy)

Happy NaBloPoMo

So happy NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month) where people try and blog everyday for a month. Since I've been so incredibly laz about posting this year I've decided to try it again. I'm sure it's gonna be full of nonsense, as usual, but it makes me feel better about myself most of the time and I think i really have things i need to get out of my head.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This whole year was quite a whirlwind starting around July when we started to do art fairs and such. At one point in time i think we went 6 weekends in a row or something. Banshee and i were spending more time together than with our respective hunnees. I didn't get things done online that i wanted, our house is STILL a mess, and all that work seems almost for naught cuz the last few shows were sincerely sucktastic.

i have a couple of craft shows coming up locally which i'm excited about and i'm also working on my product during the off season so i'm not frantically trying to make things at the last minute and losing product as a result. let's hope it works.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Last week on Wed was my bday and it was amazing! i asked a few friends to go to mongolian bbq in dearborn for dinner with it being open as to what we were gonna do afterwards (i wanted trivia but it didn't work out) Dinner was awesome and after a few of us went to the local Eagles club and played pool and shuffleboard. so much fun!!! I had a little too much to drink, but surprisingly didn't feel badly the next day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Over the weekend i had 2 halloween parties to go to. I dressed as a Lions fan ("an endangered species") and had way too much fun!!! Even tho money was really tight this weekend we managed okay. Of course I didn't win any prizes (i still call shenanigans at the 2 bars we went to cuz there were far better costumes than the ones that won - especially my friends Jon no H and Jforce. people suck)

Hubby went as Capt. Spaulding. He was so scary his picture broke banshee's phone and she can't send picture mail anymore. eeeeek!!!!!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So happy NaBloPoMo and here's hoping I can keep it up and make sense of everything.

OH!!!! And I'm also gonna work on my short story this month - who knows! I might actually finish it! There's no way i can do a novel for NaNoWriMo tho.






(edit: this was supposed to be published yesterday but apparently i hit "save now" instead of "publish post" and didn't catch the snafu until today when i came to write my 2nd post of the month - apologies)

Missing Kikyo

So we went to the pet store today to pick up some cat food and since it's Saturday we got there just in time to see all the adorable pets up for adoption. I immediately went over to the adoption area while hubby got the stuff we actually came in for.

There were about 4 dogs hanging around - a scotty, a bulldog (i think) something else and a chihuahua. The Chi was about a year old they said and it was so scared it was shaking in it's little cage evertime someone came up to it.

They have about 10 cats in carriers outside the small area they have for adoption cages and then all the cages inside were full up of cats. I went inside and immediately fellin love with all of them. There was a cat there that looks just like our Kaguya in the face (except she had more tabby markings than Kaguya - K is pretty straight grey except in her face) and a small calico right beneath that reminded me of Kohana. They surprised me with about 4 black cats in different cages (2 of which were siblings and sleeping with each other in their pet bad) a GORGEOUS fluffy white cat about a year old who lived in an entirely pink abode (SO CUTE!!!) 1 kitty whose label said they preferred to be the ONLY CAT and would be extremely loving to people and follow from room to room (kinda sounded like Kaguya there) and a tiny 6 month old tabby who looked so much like Kikyo it almost broke my heart.

The Kikyo tabby was the only one to come to the cage door and beg for pets. And she begged. When i went to walk away she reached her paw out of the cage and tried to grab my coat. (which prompted me to pet her some more). If we would have had $85 i may have gotten soft and taken her home with us (like we need another cat right now - or ever!)

As we were leaving we saw quite a few people with cats in pet carriers with grocery baskets FULL of stuff, which totally warmed my heart. And hubby donated $2 to animal rescue along with our purchase.

As we were pulling away we started talking about our kitties (who were both rescued - Kaguya from a shelter and Kohana from the streets) and then moved onto Kikyo (who was also a street rescue) and out of nowhere I began to cry. And I couldn't stop no matter how hard i tried.

Guess it's always gonna hurt to remember her, just didn't expect it today.

R.I.P my darling Kikyo. I'll forever miss you.

MillerCoors update (small)

so i didn't call the number cuz i kinda chickened out. I couldn't think of anything to say to them without sounding bitchy. So i changed the items on etsy and now all my earrings just say "Beer Cap Earrings - upcycled" but list what kind they are in the description. That way they are still kind searchable (if you choose to search in descriptions as well as titles) andI have complied to the letter of their conversation with me.

I also sent her a convo back stating that i changed everything and that it makes me sad that they would threaten legal action against me. AND i mentioned that when i showed the product to our local Miller distributor they LOVED it (technically mytrivialive showed it to them)

so yea - i'm pretty sure that's the end of it.

on a side note, i was gonna take pics of my stuff and update my etsy today but it's cloudy and cold outside which means crap pictures, so i guess I wait until tomorrow.

Small things in my head

This has been a busy summer. I have loved every minute of it, but i think i wasn't quite prepared for the making of so much product. The bottlecaps really take time. Altho i have come across 2 things that will take me to another level - UV resin (it dries in 5 - 15 minutes in the sunlight) and a hole punch for metal. They will allow me next year to keep more of popular caps in stock and I can make earrings on the fly - no more resin accidents trying to create 200 twilight caps before a big show - now i can make a more even number of items and have backup - PLUS the hole punch will allow me to choose on the spot if i want to make them into bracelets or earrings - so no pre-planning is needed.

I know it's geeky craft stuff - but i am in love with the new freedom it will give me!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~

I am kinda sad things are winding down. I wish i had a car (and license) of my own to travel south for the winter and catch some shows that way. After all, i do have a sister that lives in Texas. But i think it will also be good for me to have a break and be able to focus on my husband and the house and small batches of crafting things. Plus i have my etsy to promote (and gonna work on my artfire.com account as well - and maybe open an ecrater one too)

~~~~~~~~~~~

This week has been full of series season premieres. I am uber happy with Dancing with the Stars this year. So happy that Donny Osmond can actually dance so he might really deserve being in the finals, unlike Marie who only got there cuz of her popularity. My faves right now are Mya, kelly and Joanna for the women and Donny, Mark and Michael for the men. We'll see if that changes in the next few weeks tho.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Never did get my super secret blog project off the ground. I'm still counting on doing it tho. May work on it in a couple weeks when i don't have any shows to prep for. So glad Football season has started tho. And even tho my Lions haven't won a game yet - I have faith!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Monday I went to a funeral home in wyandotte to say goodbye to a friend from high school. I didn't know him that well back then and I didn't take the time to do more than a couple messages and wall posts on FB when we reconnected. And now i'll never have the chance. It makes me really sad. And it makes me want to get together with friends, past and present, really soon. Nothing so formal as a reunion, but more organized than a kegger. And I'm really thinking it would be cool to have it at my mom's house, cuz i know she'd love to see people from my past as well. And it would be free. As a matter of fact, as i'm writing this, i think i may want to do it for my bday party this year. The end of October (but not Halloween weekend).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Prolly because of the sadness early in the week, I've been having dreams of high school and college. Mostly that we're putting on a musical and it almost always has me, Emily and tim french as the leading roles, with Mr. Mc directing. And I haven't gone to rehersals regularly so I'm learning blocking and such at the dress rehersals and I'm having to refresh my memory on my lines as i'm backstage waiting for my cues. At least i'm not naked lol.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Speaking of my sister, she and her hubby are 6 months away from an adorable bundle of joy!!! I'm so excited!!! of course all of us want to be down there when she has the baby, but we all really need to let her and her hubby get into their own groove before invading their house for any long length of time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was pleasantly surprised by both Eastwick this week as well as The Forgotten - and Modern Family could be funny but it could also be highly annoying - i haven't figured it out yet. And i'm not even getting invested into Cougar Town cuz the last show i loved Courtney Cox Arquette in (DIRT) failed miserably. Looking forward to Flash Forward tonight tho, as well as GREY'S ANATOMY!!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think that's it for now. OH! one more thing. I am participating in NaBloPoMo and next year I'm opting for Blog365 again. I really missed it this year. AND i'm contemplating making a blog specifically for my crafts and jewelry/chainmaille making.

Last Minute Crafting

trying to get a few bottlecap bracelets and earrings made last minute before tomorrows marathon day at the Russell People's Art Festival. I'm so scared I'm not gonna have enough stuff - but hubby keeps reminding me that the worst thing that i foresee happening (selling out) IS actually the BEST thing. so yea - i'm trying to relax.

hubby went out today and got a case of water for us and some cheese and peanut butter crackers for me to munch on so i won't starve to death waiting for my first sale lol. we're also packing up some xmas lights to hang on the tent. Got my table already packed in the car and packing everything else up tonight so that tomorrow we just have to basically jump in the car and go.

Also gotta throw some clothes in the laundry for tomorrow. I think i may wear a funky flame shirt that will kinda match my hair - and i have to take a jacket or something cuz chances are it's gonna get cold in the evening while we're there. Which is fine by me. I'll take the cold over the frigging super hotness that was Rochester any day!!!

Contemplating taking my lappie with me tomorrow to watch the football game. i'm pretty sure i'll be able to find it online with no problems. and worst case scenario i can listen to it streaming on 97.1FM ;) hopefully i don't drive heather crazy.

So okay - i'm outtie - gotta do laundry real quick and get some things done!!!! i'll keep updating via twitter tomorrow prolly - or even post if i take the lappie

PInk Hair Day

Today I went ahead and dyed part of my hair pink. I've been wanting to do it and talking about it for months now, but i finally bought the stuff and just did it. Of course, i should have gotten my hair professionally cut a couple weeks ago, cuz now i see now crappy my hair looks. but that's okay, i'll just set up an appt. for next week or so and i'll be GORGEOUS!!!!

i seriously love the way it turned out. i kinda wish i had opted for a couple more bold stripes on the top of my head instead of concetrating most of the colour on the underside of my head, but i love the peekaboo effect it has as well. And i tinted the ends of my hair slightly.

I was gonna take a pic to share, but my camera died, the only pic i have is a crappy cell phone pic where i look not too happy. You can kinda see the pink peeking out. Better pic to come i promise!!!

Not feeling creative at the moment

Doing final stuffs to get ready for Allen Park this weekend cuz I'm staying at my mom's house (again) this weekend so i have to make sure i have everything packed cuz if i'm missing anything i'm screwed. So today is alot of assembling and putting things in order ets.

Combine that with the loss of about 15 bracelets earlier this week as well as the loss of about 5 bracelets, my ball chain & necklace making findings and I'm just pissy and not feeling well about stuff. I have to go back and remake crap i already made. Which i didn't do this week at all. All i did was make more pendants (mostly HP and twilight) which also makes me feel not creative.

BLEH. I just look at things other people do and it amazes me. Things that come from their own heads and stuff. I feel like i just copy what other people are already doing and it just makes me sad.

I'll be out of this funk in a couple hours i'm sure, but i needed to get it out of my head and feel sorry for myself.

P.S. i really miss blogging. I need to do more of it. Maybe Sept will be my personal NaBloPoMo

In complete shock

Just got some family news that shocked the hell out of me, and not in a good way. My heart is broken and I can't stop crying. I'll elaborate later when i know more details. And so no one worries, it's not health or life related. No one's dying/dead/sick.

Less than 36 hours away

is the Wyandotte street fair and i already know i don't have enough product, which makes me sad. The resin overflowed on some of my bottlecaps and they stuck to the paper they were drying on, so i lost about 1/6 of them. And I'm pretty sure my rings aren't gonna be dry in time to have them out on wednesday, so they'll be there later in the week.

I had a friend make some bracelet displays for me based on banshee's awesome store bought one cuz a) i'm cheap and b) he was willing. They turned out pretty good. You can tell they're handmade, which i don't really mind. They're T bars of PVC pipe covered in felt and stuck into a plywood base. I had to reinforce them at the joint cuz they were kinds wobbly (i used cording) and it stabilized them AND gives them a slight rustic feel, which is kinda cool.

I'm still debating with myself as to whether or not i should take my crochet work. I only have 2 afghans and a couple baby blankets. We'll see how motivated i am. The less i have to cart around the better it is. And since it all has to fit in banshee's vehicle - well - we'll just see how it goes.

When hubby gets home i think we're gonna go grab a couple beers at the local pub to chillax cuz tomorrow's the long haul. I have to drill all my pendants (as long as they're dry) and a bunch of bottlecaps (to make bracelets) and pack everything up. I also have to do some laundry so i have clothes to wear for the duration of the fair.

(on a side note, I went clothes shopping yesterday and got some super cute and comfy capris, shorts and tshirts. They all fit perfectly yesterday. Today they feel looser. Guess I'm not as bloated or something. I plan on goin back tho and getting more colours in the tshirts cuz they were only $15 and i love how they look on me)(and altho i'm sad that i had to get a size larger than last year, at least it was only 1 size. and hopefully my continued walking on the treadmill as well as the upcoming festivals we're gonna be at will help)

Speaking of festivals, I got our location notification from Allen Park. It's booth #143 and it's on Allen road near the Ecorse Rd side on the north side of the street. Kinda in the middle of the block and away from the stage and stuff. Hopefully it will be decent tho.

kk. hubby's home. gotta go.

what i've been up to

in case you haven't guessed, i'm working on getting ready for the Wyandotte Art Fair next week. I'm quite sure i'm not gonna have enough product but what the hell. I suppose (as i'm said to a couple people) that the worst thing that could happen is that i sell out of everything i have and have to race to make more in time for the Redford Fair July 25&26. Or is that the best thing? Anyway, here's hoping things go well.

I just spent 3 days prepping bottlecaps and finally got the resin in them 2nite around 8PM. The ones i used real polyester resin with are already hardening, the ones i had to use the EasyCast resin with are still mighty soft to the touch. Either way I'm waiting 3 days for them to finish "cooking" so i can drill them. Might even wait 4 days and drill them all on Tuesday. We'll see how i feel.

Tonight I'm making a 3rd big pendant board along with a small one just for the zodiac signs. I think i'm gonna put a cheat sheet on that one too in the center so people have reference of what sign is what.

In the course of doing the show on Sunday I somehow managed to lose a bag of 16" necklace cords I had made (about 50 of them) and the notecard with the address of someone who custom ordered from me at the show. I've frantically torn through everything i took that day and still can't find anything. I am hoping that they will turn up, especially the addy, cuz she pre-paid and I don't want her to think i'm running away with her money.

I"m also waiting on a rubber jump ring order from theringlord.com. it said that it would take 7 - 14 days so I'm REALLY praying that they arrive by Tuesday (which is 14 days from when i ordered them) otherwise I won't have the supplies to make something that's already been pre-ordered.

i'm seriously stressing about all this. My back has broken out and according to a friend last night i have huge black circles under my eyes. In spite of myself i took a quick 45 minute nap tonight after the caps were finished. i really needed it i think. I didn't really sleep. I listened to sirius XM first wave channel and kinda let myself drift around. But now I feel like i wasted an hour of my life when i could have been working on stuffs.

crap! and i still have a pair of earrings that need to get mailed out!

On top of this, there's plans for mini high school reunions which i'm sure are stressing me out even if i'm trying to play it cool. The prospect of seeing girls i totally admired and boys i had crushes on back then is daunting. And while i'm confortable (mostly) with the fact that I've become a larger woman, the fact that i'm still missing a front tooth does play into the anxieties.

okay, time to quit whining and get back to work. I gotta finish that pendant board tonight and start working on a couple chainmaille pieces.
