You are a serious jerk. It looks and feels like January out there right now. Friday or whenever that was, was 55ish with sun, blue skies, and robins. See? This is what I am talking about with you. This is why you are on my shit list along with November. But at least with November we KNOW is going to be depressing as all get up. Full of rain, sleet, dead barren trees and lots of brown food that makes me tired. You just like to get everyone’s hopes up and then dash them to the ground. And that is mean.
I’m not talking to you for awhile.
Go suck it,

I had a really productive day. It was gloomy as all get up out there today, but I rather enjoyed it. Plus I was alone in the house for several hours this morning so I used the first half of that to bang on the piano rather loudly and sing my lungs (heart) out. I enjoyed myself thoroughly. And didn’t annoy anyone else but my dog. It was quite cathartic.
I then spent the rest of the day holed up (literally) door shut, in my studio making my items. Bliss.
I took my camera along to document my progress.

Oh I know spring is in the air, and everyone is all high about it, but I really am not fooled by this courtship that happens EVERY time – this time of year. It’s been the same every year for 37 years. The first time you hear birds outside your window after literally months of silence and howling winter winds and lonely trains, the smell of wet ground and dog poo (even in places where there are no dogs suspiciously enough) people wearing shorts and riding motorbikes the first day its 50.
So you get a little brave sometimes in March and crack a window. And are overpowered and taken in by its sweet alluring scent of FRESH AIR. You get lulled in a little more. The sun now is not such a foreign object and he too is in cahoots with March. Mid to late March you then succumb to March’s sultry charms and come hither stares of clear starry filled nights and bright moons high in the sky and then you start falling in love with spring again. OH, spring. It’s promises of flowers, robins, green grass, blue sky, children laughing outside, grass cutting, tiny baby animals. LIFE. LIGHT.
Goodbye darkness. Farewell.
Oh, you sad, sad, sad, foolish simpleton…
NEXT DAY!
NEWSFLASH!
WINTER STORM WARNING 12 INCHES OF SNOW TOMORROW!
AND 10 STRAIGHT DAYS OF CLOUDY SKIES.
I’m not falling for it this time, March. I’m JUST NOT. You can beckon me with 50, 55, 60, even 65 degree temps, but I am not falling for your tired old tricks. YOU are going to have to PROVE to me that you are not going to crush me with a winter storm to end all winter storms. Or pound me with freezing rain as I watch the water damage become more pronounced in the left corner of my basement adding to the fiery heartache of me KNOWING the grade needs to be raised (or not because its always something else that is far more involved) or the fact that I need a new roof on this place I currently dwell because water is leaking in from above too. Why not break my water heater while you are at it too. Oh wait, that was January.
No.
YOU, Mr. March, are going to have to PROVE yourself. Prove to me you have changed. Maybe you have it in you this time. I am willing to give you another chance for the 37th time. I really am. I want to love you like everyone else does. DON’T BLOW IT THIS TIME.
(Easter and all its chocolate can’t even save you this year, so you have your work cut out for you.)

I’m bummed a little tonight because I concocted some weird flu buggy thing and my creative factory has taken a nosedive.
First, I had to cancel band practice on Tuesday (which REALLY bummed me out) but I knew that if I didn’t devote as much time as I could to sleeping, drinking fluids and doing nothing, I wouldn’t thwart the worst of what this is. I have my suspicions of where I picked this up and that is at the Dr’s office and lab I had to be in 3 times in a row for unrelated bloodwork (don’t worry, I passed with flying colors! My health is better than ever and I am wicked excited that I have gotten a real handle on my PCOS)
AND I broke a cardinal rule of picking up a magazine in the waiting room! What was I thinking? Of course there is something gross living on the cover of People magazine. That just goes without saying.
The important thing that I have to remember is that I will be back to crafting my wares soon enough and not freak out that I am not making anything. Sleeping freaks me out because I feel like I am missing something, but this is different right? I just hate laying around. HATE IT.

Hey, so besides making the music lately, I have another part of my creative world going on simultaneously, and that is the making and selling of ACEO’s.
Over the weekend I sold another card and sent it to its new home. I have others I sold that I haven’t uploaded here to see, but I am working on it.
This time I took pictures of my packaging and marketing process…
