reflection

i am starting to feel a little bit more relaxed.  still no crafts though, although that oyster shell with the rock attached is a candle i made several years ago... it has it's oyster shell lid on it too; one of many great treasures i have found on the beaches of lopez island, my head bent downward looking, looking....

the photo was taken a few nights back, after a $100 trip to the liquor store... made myself a very tasty margarita(s).... it was a day off the next day and i was celebrating my first sales - i think i will be just fine at my new job.

crafting? soon, i think, very soon.

 

yes, i am still here....

still kind of getting used to my new life, and working on finding the perfect shoes (i don't think those exist frankly...).  but, i do have two days off in a row so maybe i can get back on a blogging schedule - and a crafting schedule too because i haven't done any of that and i am missing it big time.

thursday • white/brown/black

today is supposed to be better.... i hope so because 98 degrees is not what i signed up for.

wednesday • green

morning light coming through just about the only opening to the outside world. 

it is hot, hot, hot and i have shut the house up in an effort to fight against the sun. this though is the light through the front door as i tried to encourage the cool morning to air run in and freshen the house before another warm day sets in.

a week of color....

another week of color inspired by andrea over at hula seventy.  i missed yesterday, yesterday was yellow.... today? today is turquoise (or blue), i chose turquoise.

i start a new job today. i am nervous, and excited and relieved; as you might imagine, being self-employed isn't all that easy. the stress of not being able to pay bills or have medical insurance is tiresome, and as a full blown, damned near, middle aged (if you accept that i will live until 91) adult it is just downright depressing. as of today, i am turning over the responsibility for marketing and scheduling and a timely paycheck to someone else in exchange for peace of mind and a full compliment of benefits.  i see some relief and good sleeps in my future.

that said, it will be a busy week getting used to the transition so a week of color seems expertly timed.  one day soon i will actually return to some crafts.... but this week i will be too busy, too tired and too hot.

i'm back

and i am beat...

the workation was more work than vacation but there is a promise of a full week at the beach in my future so i am good with that. 

there is quite a bit to report, changes afoot and very little crafting to show... but not until i get some cleaning done around here and some settling back in.  missed everyone but didn't once think i needed to post - i think because i was so dang tired, but it was a nice break from the computer i must say...

have a wonderful weekend, i will catch up soon.
