MINDPROTECTION

I am moving my blog to MIND PROTECTION because I think the name of this blog is so lame. For my two faithful followers, one of which I made follow me by adding her myself:o), thank you and please move your subscription over there.

YOU

The unique human being called "You" happens only once in all of eternity.

Yep:o). Gotta get to work. So little to do, so much time... reverse that:o).

MY WEBSITE

It is not coming along at all. I have a friend that is going to help me but he has two jobs so it is going to be hard to catch up with him so it seems. I made this picture for my site. Yes, I know, it is horrible. There worst thing is that it won't even show up on the internet. I can call my webhoster, but it takes sooo long to talk to them, then when you get them, after an hour or so, they can't help you!!! I am not giving up. I can't and wont!

Ten minutes until I have to leave for work and I can't be late fooling around with my website!

CUTIES PIES

I went to a class today and this is what we made. Little snowmen. Of course Christmas is over, but the Snowman is not all about Christmas. He is a part of the winter theme. I would post my snowman, but I did not finish him. I need to add a hat and scarf. I didn't finish it because I wanted to meet the other ladies and see what they were making. I met some friends and I met the lady Marcia that I blogged about earlier. She makes beautiful things and I hope to learn from her soon. I will definitely be joining the group.

The teachers name was Kelly and she was very nice. She gave out "free" material to all that did not have it. Wow! That was awesome of her! Of course I was prepared, I had my things. Everything but TLS. ?!?!? Translucent Liquid ?? It is like a glue for PVC. I was late to the class, and even though I the meeting had not started yet, I don't want to be late to the next one or anything else. I heard on a TV show, "Mercy", a man say to a woman, "You showed up late... you know you are saying, "F y'all" when you show up late?!?" Actually she was because she did not want to be there, but I don't want to say that. I do have a bad habit of being late and I am going to work on stopping that.

AT THE BAZAAR SUMMER OF 2010:o)

The picture is of me at the Cross Creek Mall in Fayetteville NC. I was doing it! And I will get back there on that level and higher soon:o). ATLANTIC STATION her I come!!


I was on this site a few times yesterday showing my friends and encouraging them to start a blog as well. (I'm listening to Tony Toni Tone, and clearly Raphael Saadiq was definitely the only singer in the group. I love his voice. I saw him in concert, and he looks much better in person truly! He has to be the most non-photogenic person I know! I formed a crush on him that day, but it was gone within a few days:o).

I am liking the blog idea. For some reason, I will post my jewelry here before I will post it on my paid site. I think I am ashamed of my unprofessional pictures, and this is just for fun. I am going to get it going though. I have to if I want it to grow. I heard someone just today, that if you want to do great things, you must grind 4 times harder than that next guy. I know this, but I am just not an all around grinder. I do what I do and I will do it. I am great at somethings, okay at other things, then I just don't care to deal with most of the rest. Accounting. I love accounting on paper, but when I have to physically count and organize... How painful. I just wanna play, make product:o)!!

I do have help on the horizon. My friend Lee is going to take my pictures, Charles is going to help me with my website, and Shelly will help me with the accounting side of the house. Of course my financial backers are Tammy and Elaine...what would I do without my family!! "Where would I be if I didn't know you" ~Kindred the Family Soul.

I am going to continue the mission though. I think by next year I will be rather established. I have 4 months to get enough inventory together to inter shows and bazaars. That's my goal. I want to be able to set up in parks and maybe in "Atlantic Station". I doubt it. Seems very expensive. Hopefully I will have a job by the summer, then I can get more done.

ANOTHER DRESS FOR THE BALL

This is a simple but cute dress. I want to wear it to the mixer they are having the first night of the ball. I actually have my friend Renpet making it now. The material is very similar so I hope it comes out really great it white and silver and I already bought the shoes:o). I will post that if I don't forget.

I think I could make the dress myself; it is a fairly easy pattern, but I just don't have time. Or... I don't want to devote time to it, and I dont' want to mess it up and have it not fit well. I don't know anything about measuring and altering clothing. I can only cut and sew beside the line of which I have cut:o). I've made a few things, but they looked so homely; I wouldn't dare post them here! Well, I may, but don't laugh. I will post this dress when I get it back from Renpet.

BLACK & WHITE BALL

I have a friend that sews. I blogged about her in December. Her website is Culture at it's BES. December 31st actually. I want her to make my ball dress. this is the one I am thinking about. I don't want to look scandalous, but I do want to look really H-O-T:o). It's a Vogue pattern. V1047. I am not too sure about the bottom of this dress. I don't know if I want it diagonal or not, and I definitely don't want it to drag the floor. I think I will try to combine a few dresses to perfect this one.

I also made this piece today. The necklace took me forever because I was catching up on my tv shows for the week. It's not hanging well so i am glad I took the picture of it. Will fix tomorrow. I do love it though. I used turquoise and hemitite, and of course sterling silver.
