Cleaning out the Computer Files Again...






As we have established...I am a Fidgety Person...always looking for something to do...so when I am waiting for something on a doll to 'dry' , or waiting for Richard's part to fit my part (sounds weird I know) but it is doll related.... I hop on the Puter and 'clean' moving, shifting, rearranging, dumping and copying loose files and folders...of which I have MANY!!! I am forever running into 'past work' from several years ago that I totally forgot about...finding it again is like a little treat for me . I found my Shadow Box Folder of work I have done as much as 6-7 years ago ...thought I would pop on a couple of my favs. They are mostly Polymer clay, air dry clays, hand painted art papers , and even a found desert cholla. I LOVED doing these Shadow Boxes...each so different, each with a different meaning and purpose...and each I enjoy creating soooo much. I always wonder why I stopped when I see them again... Hmmm, maybe it is time to get back into it again...just dabble a little here and there...again, a good 'Cob Web' cleaning of the old Artistic Brain...
Have a Great Thursday...

Be Gone Lazies...Be Gone!!!






Let's here it for Mondays...YEAAAAAH Monday!!!! The Lazies have hit the road and I am full of vim and vigor once again.
This little guy just makes me smile...he is part of a Halloween Miniature Doll Setting we are working on and I just wanted to post a quick picture of him... he is not finished yet...has one more thing to add ...but I do love this little guys smile and attitude.... and yes...he does have a slight 'hump' ....
Hopefully we will be through with the setting by this weekend...
I have the name for the main character already... still working on his... he stands about 3 inches tall.
Have a GREAT Week everyone
Hugs,

Lazy Lazy Weekend


Did you ever have one of those weekends were you had many good intentions to get a gazillion things accomplished ...but by weekends end...you maybe (if lucky) got 1-2 things done? Well that was my weekend....LAZY LAZY LAZY!! It was nice I must admit...but it also drives me a bit loopy and brings on the overwhelming guilt's when nothing gets done. As I mentioned in past posts I just am not a 'Relaxer' ...some people are soooo cut out for that...my sister for one...but I...well, If my plate is not full with many things to do... I feel positively desperate for projects.
So for me to experience a 'lazy' weekend that seemed to pass in the blink of an eye..well, that is indeed one for the record books """"NEWS FLASH.. over rambunctious girl found sitting in corner...twiddling thumbs.... More at 11:00.
I did work on a doll...but in small spurts and then found myself just drifting off to 'Relaxo-Land' every chance I got... WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME!!! Even with my several pots of coffee I remain 'Zoned to the Bone'
I guess things catch up ...and my body is telling me to just chill...and yes, I guess I do deserve it...but I must tell you...I am looking forward to Monday Morning.... to kick off a week of normal fret and stress, work and deadlines....AHHHHHHH...I do love Mondays!!!

Hope everyone had a Super Weekend... and just an FYI...it took all of my strength to type this...time for a nap!!!LOL

Hugs

I have been 'Picture Challenged'

Well it seems that Picture Challenge has hit me...this fun thing has been going around and it is so cool to see all the misc. photos. Dear Nikki at http://nikkinikkinikki72.blogspot.com/ ... posted this challenge...and I believe it goes something like this.... I must go to where I store my pictures....pick the '4th' Folder ...and then the '4th' picture and post it and talk a little about it...

So my 4th folder in my picture file are my 'non doll' items to sell on EBAY ....the 4th picture is a silk Chinese jacket I am getting ready to list. WOW...glad it was not the '5th' folder....that would have been embarrassing!!!! Anyway... I have tons of weird and strange stuff under our other seller name and this is just one...

Now I am to pass this challenge onto 4 others...fancy that... another 4...actually this is a cool challenge as everything in life seems to come to me in '444' ...zowie another trippy coincidence!

So I pass to

QUESTIONS...I HAVE QUESTIONS

Happy Thursday Morning All...

Weather update for the desert...STILL FREAKIN HOT!!!!

I do have a question...does anyone know HOW to add a YouTube Video or regular Video here in a Post? I have tried and tried and cannot figure it out. I have our YouTube stuff in the Gadgets but that's not what I want...

Any Help would make this 'Hot' girl very happy indeed (and I DON'T mean THAT kind of Hot)...LOL!!

Back to the studio...working on a New Halloween Doll Setting...OH BOY...this one is fun...
My mind has been working overtime the last 2 weeks to the point of developing a slight headache ...so much to do, so little time...

Have a Super One

And Now for Something Completely Different...




Well for me at least.... I normally stick to my own playing field of Clay and Dolls...but once in a while it is fun to dip ones toes in a new watering hole ...basically I like to play with new stuff...it always seems to clear the cob webs out of the brain. I do love to bead when I can find a few minutes to pry myself away from clay. I am NOT by a long shot any good at it there are Beaders out there that are soooo good they would make a grown man cry! But like with anything else...I just play with it...dabble if you will.... and then return 'home' to the familiar. This is one of my latest 'dabbleings'
A wrist cuff that I beaded with anything that held still long enough...if you look real close you might see the Kitchen Sink!! I like the fact that it turned out very dimensional, layers on layers...no set design...a free for all of beads!!
Thanks for taking a Peek...and for not laughing (at least not out loud)...
Terrific Tuesday All
Jodi
