This weather is craziness...it was 50 degrees yesterday morning and rain, today it's 19 and snow and by tomorrow night they are saying snow and temps around zero with wind chills at 10-16 below. WTH I say my rug rats are freezing!!! They look at me and I know they are saying "tell me again why you got me a hair cut and cut all my hair off?"

Any whoo...I did some painting yesterday and like I said I need to take mor pics because I only took one before pic and that's it. I have spray painted some owls white and they turned out way cute!!! I have 2 more to do so I'll get a before pic of them to post. I also have been painting some wood hangers I got in some bright colors. They are turning out really cut too. I also painted a small mirror. I'm trying to get ready for the winter woolen workshop coming up in February. It's a sat and sun show $10 to get in it covers both days and all the processed go to the historical society. It will be an awesome event because there will be all kinds of demos going on you will see people quilting, spinning yarn, rug hooking, rug punch, punch needle, felting and hand stitching. There also will be people teaching classes both days. You can see the schedule on bethsmainstreetfolkart/picturetrail.com or go to her blog thegrannybee.blogspot.com to get more info.
I am super excited about this show it processed go to a good cause and the people that do this show are amazing if you or someone you know are wanting to learn some kind of handwork this is the place to come because the knowledge of the people at this show is endless. I hope to see everyone there I am going to put all the details on my side bar tonighti hope everyone stays warm over the next few days I'm helping the bee lady move again so I will be trying to do the same.

So the ipad ap store got the blogging ap fixed and now I can blog on the iPad but the thing about it is all the pictures are put at the end of the post with no text in between. I'm enjoin my time off gettin ready to do a show in febuary the winter woolen workshop. I'm super excited I am really changing up my style more brights and funky stuff. I will post pics as I get some stuff done I have a few things painted but not ready for pics yet. Found this elephant pic and love it...the fabric I think would be lovely as a scarf...what do you think? Well any woo I gotta go I'm helping a friend move and I might be late if I don't get goin. Hope everyone has great day.

Reflecting...

Chasing the sun this morning some of the reflections in the house were very pretty...

it's been a week...

so one of the major things that has happened is i quit my job last friday. i just walked out i had had enough. it's been a long time comin i haven't been happy for awhile and i am sick of retail and especially retail management. of coarse i'm kinda freakin out now because it wasn't planned i just did it on a whim but the good thing is my other half is supporting me 100%. we are going to have to change our life style and cut back in order to make ends meet but i feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
i'm hoping to have more time to do some of the things i love and i have a lot of ideas brewing in my head. one of my high school friends has a booth at the big antique store in town (treasure mart) and she said i could put some stuff in her booth so i'm doin my spring claening and gettin rid of some stuff. i know (one of my friends said) it's not spring but because of all my years in retail we do the spring cleaning in jan so now thats when i always do it at home. i want to take more pictures and set up displays and get my photography better i also want to learn a few new things so i will have a lot to keep my busy because one of my rooms looks like a hoarders closet i have way to many clothes.
i have been looking for a new job and hope i don't have to go back to retail but if i do it will not be as a store manager and i hope it will be a different kind of retail. 'm not gunna lie i'm scared to death what if i can't find anything jobs are so hard to come by these days but i'm having faith and staying positive.
my friends told me the other day that i've hit my reset button that i'm at a point in my life where i'm ready for a change and i've taken the leap and hit the button. so anyway this is the major thing that's goin on in my life right now as more changes come i will keep everyone posted but for right now i'm enjoyin some time off and the little guys are lovin me being home with them.
i hope everything is goin good with all of you out there in blogland.

2013 change...

2013 I think will be the year of change for me. I'm going start posting pictures of some of my changes, events, challenges and happenings during my days.
I also am doing more with my craft...one of my friends is letting me put a few things in her booth at treasure mart which is a 4 story old brick building with 3 stories just full of antiques and some junk. I love junkin..given something a new life
Also with having some extra time on my hands i am going to do some things I've missed doing.

sad news

life is so precious...i was saddened to hear one of my friends and co worker lost a family member this weekend. he was young driving back to school and had a car accident. you just don't know whats in store each day for your life so make every day count and tell your loved one that you love them.

changes

so it's been awhile since i've posted i kind of have had a lot going on at work. there are some changes goin on in my life right now but i'm not ready to talk about them yet but i will at some point.i'm kind of scared but also excited about them. i just wanted to pop in and let you all know i was still around i probably will just do picture posts or small little glimpses into my daily life.
i hope all of you are doing okay in the new year and life is good for you.
