You never have enough....

Had a new project to start... went to look for Black size 8's.
none to be had.
Now how could THAT happen.

Mailed Beki some beads to match.
Got my answer :)
New bead order going in !

I need to attack my art with vigor -- with activity!
I need to be AGRESSIVE with it.

Have found I am becoming somewhat passive.
Not liking that..... taking the easy way out and not dedicating myself to working on it.

MUST. CRACK. WHIP. ON. MYSELF.

Phillies

Poor Phillies lost.
Whaa waaaaa.

no sympathy from me.

I am mean

What to do... what to do....

The BFAC is finished.
I completed a freeform bracelet for myself.

WHAT TO DO NOW ???

I started an "odd" piece -- not sure what I will do with it.... but it is started.

The purse is screaming to be finished, but that would mean I would have to start over again.... because I don't like where I am with it.......

sheesh.
I need to do something.

The idle mind is the devil's playground.

Current Reading

Fiction: "Anthill" and I find it interesting.

Non-Fiction: "The Creative Habit: Learn It and Use It For Life" -- incredible! Not only does it translate to art, but it translates to work too.
I'm thinking that I might like to get a copy for myself and mark it up to go back to.

On the list/waiting at the library:
"Blood Sucking Fiends" --- Christopher Moore. Colleen says it is hilarious, so tomorrow I will be picking it up on the way home.

Wire something -- I can't remember the name -- something to inspire me with wire work.

Monster shopping today and boy are my feet tired!

Good sales -- time to start picking up things for Christmas.
I can't believe how quickly the summer flew by.
No, it's not fall YET.
Still warm here in AC.
In fact today, I was breaking quite a sweat while shopping !

We didn't get down to the beach this weekend -- what with all the folks in town.
But we have this week and those coming up!
I need to walk in the water and let the sand be a natural abrasive to my summer time feet.

AND I need some more shell type objects. I think this time we need to go further down the island -- perhaps closer to Margate instead of Ventnor.
I know Cape May is nice but they have too darned many rocks.
I want shells, damnit !

Somewhere on this mess I call a desk I have another listing. Methinks that there is a good beach on Brigantine Island.

Let's see. I am almost through with my bracelet -- for ME. Just a few more little things and then a clasp of some sorts.

Next project? haven't decided yet. There are so many idea's rolling around in my head.

Weekend update

It's getting hot again here.
Not much going on.

On Saturday we went to see Eat Pray Love. It made me cry in several places.
And it forced me to remember that I do need to forgive myself for some things.
And to acknowledge that there are things that I am not responsible for.

My current project involves greens. I am making a freeform bracelet for myself.
For this to be freeform, it sure does take a lot of planning on my part !

Rachel Alexandra did not win her race yesterday.
I didn't think she would.
Making her Horse of The Year was not a good decision.
IMO.

Our area has had strong riptides this weekend and stronger ones predicted for later this week.
Colleen and I went down to the beach yesterday.
It was nice.
And I discovered this morning that we went with last years tags....... sheesh.

We'll be going again on Thursday.

Weather

The temps yesterday morning were great -- til about 10:30 and then the humidity kicked in.
We were out yard-saling and it got a bit warm.
Colleen got the steal of the day -- a great little purse that she is going to bead.

I picked up a mint Brownie movie camera.
$2.
Not sure what I am going to do.
Part of me said parts, but I had to take it apart......
sigh
