where have I been?

Goodness, I just realized that it has been so long since I published a post on my poor neglected blog!

I haven't been feeling very creative lately. It's been hard dealing with the fact that little Mimi, my chihuahua, is not young and well any more. And my blood pressure issues have me really focusing on cooking better food and exercising, so not much time to be creative.

But I'm starting to get the itch to create again. I have some Tshirts all ready to paint. I just need to get some tracing paper to trace a couple of patterns.

20 more sage green butterflies!

The lady who ordered 125 butterflies ordered 20 more. I'm working on them now.

I still have to have a picture taken of me so she can use it on her site.

I've been really busy trying to get at least 1 made of every single color of the tiny butterfly earrings to keep my websites updated. The crocheting part is easy, it's the finishing part that takes the longest - jewelry findings, scanning, uploading pics, writing descriptions. Oh, and keeping track of what website has what on it. I started a spreadsheet for that.

uploading more pics

Good grief, will I EVER be done uploading pictures? I want to crochet! I have a quart size ziploc bag full of butterflies that need to be finished, scanned, and uploaded to my websites.

I created a spreadsheet to help me keep track of what products I have on what sites. What a help!
