currently: 10 things
Saturday, November 23, 2013 at 1:00AM
So here I am again, in Week 2 of TEN THINGS. This is a good sign. Here you have it.
1. Working hard on getting the technical difficulties worked out on the filming side of things in the studio. Hoping this latest fix will be the end cure. We will see. I am anxious to resolve this issue, NOT because I like to film- oh no- no, no, no, no. I actually dread and fear being on camera, but do my best to hide it. I am anxious because I have some cool new ideas that are easy, affordable and pretty, to share with all of you!
2. Finishing up some new things for the etsy shoppe. I am having fun with some new ideas and they seem to be well received. Always happy for an excuse to paint and sew.
3. Following through on the self imposed challenge of getting in the studio for FUN each day. No work related projects count. I mentioned here that often means just a few minutes a day. Well I have been faithful so far and loving it. It is amazing what can be accomplished in those few minutes when your mind (and timer) are set and your thoughts are focused on just plain art.
4. Trying on an old, but favorite, gown from a few years back. Have a big BLACK TIE AFFAIR planned for this weekend that involves fun, food, family and raising a whole hek of alot of toys for less fortunuate children.
5. Editing some photos from a local Art Show this weekend. Some bonding time with my girls and art. What could be better?
6. Sorting through some photos. Getting ready to challenge myself to yet another project that requires weekly dedication. Do I need another project? Um. No. But I promised myself I would get caught up on this memory making stuff and since I am TOTALLY hooked on these sweet photos by Social Print Studio and in love with the concept of Project Life (tweaked to be me, of course) I think I will give it another whirl.
7. Counting. It's back. The need to count. Yikes. I hate it. I love it. I hate it. It happens either way. So I count. It makes me feel better. (p.s. I have three bullets to go)
8. Making Apple Pie. Yum. The good old fashioned four inch tall, so fat you can't cut it kind of Apple Pie. And homemade whip cream. Yes.
9. Re-thinking having the Mr. home every night again after three years. (just kidding. I think) I DO want him home again at night. I miss him. We miss him. We miss him at dinner and we miss him at Orchestra Concerts and Golf Matches and everything else in between...but...with the light at the end of the tunnel getting brighter and brighter I am paniced. I have had this awful time sleeping for three years, BUT I have come up with a pretty smooth and peaceful routine every night too. It's a system that works for the kids and I am pretty sure that system isn't going to sync with Big Daddy. Am I happy he is going to be home at night? Happy he will be an actual present part of this family again? Absolutely. I'm just saying - a girls' got a routine.
10. Thinking about Christmas Cards. Wondering what I will do this year. Better add it to my project list.

I love your 10 list. I wonder, sometimes, if I'd actually do this on my own blog. I might have to think a bit longer before I make the commitment. I'm enjoying your posts and your artwork. Good luck with the filming.
So enjoying your 10 Things!
Thanks Marrianna! It took a big commitment for me too - hopefully I can follow through this time! I try! - haha! Thank you, too, for reading this little blog and for your kind words. xx
Thank You Sandi - I am enjoying too and hoping to be faithful this go around! xo
