Just got an email

I just got an email congratulating me for entering a project.  It has been accepted by the Brookyn NY library and will be cataloged with their other enteries.  Problem is I can't remember this project or what I sent.  I know I can be flaky but you would think I would remember.  Well maybe they will send me a copy of the catalog!

Disappointed

I had applied for a spot at a spa in NC mountains for an 11 person show for one weekend.  Got a confirmation that I was in so I already booked a place.  Today I got a notice that I had not been selected for the show so I went back to the first email and found out that I had only submitted my registration properly, not that I got accepted to the show.  I am so bummed, it was to be my last show of the season and since it was a captured audiance at the spa, right at Christmas, I expected to do very well.  So only 4 more shows for the season unless I can pick up another at this late date...  Oh well, I will have a nice inventory for spring!

nuno failure again

I just made a beautiful scarf in fall colors so this is the first successful nuno in 3 weeks.  I started another one today on very open weave polyester.  Sooooo did not work. I rolled it enough I thought but I haven't given up on it yet.  Think I will change over to felted soap and see if I don't have more luck.  I have a show coming up in 2 weeks so things better start working!

On another topic, we are still in court trying to get our visitation rights back to have Jonathan.  At 14 he has decided he doesn't want to see us any more.  The law says you can not break the divorce decisions so his mother has been held in contempt of  court once and it looks like she will be again.  What an emotional and money mess.  Don't even want to say how much this has cost with no end in site.  Wish us luck!

What a Thursday

Work was really bad today.  The pathologest on duty this week is trying to change the entire workings of the lab.  He keeps walking away with slides and paperwork that I have no finished.  He puts notes for others to do work that really should be mine so it is impossible to have a clue what I should really be doing.  This has got to stop.
  On a better note,  I have figured out a way to salvage my scarf that I was trying to make on Sunday.  I really need to build up my supply and I keep screwing things up.  I also bought some more displays to pick up this Sunday.  They will buy back my old display and I won't get enough for it but as least it won't be taking up any more room!

Wasted Weekend?

This has been a very frustrating weekend.  Yesterday I spent over an hour setting wool on top of a piece of silk to nuno felt.  The silk was from an old sari and was beautiful but unfortunately, too tight for the wool to migrate thru.  So after a couple hours of rolling, I faced the fact and pulled it apart.  Will make something else with the silk.

Today I laid out pre-felt, laid out a chiffon layer with threads and wool over it.  Guess what?  Not felting.  Still haven't given up on it but am leaving it alone for the rest of the day.  So I decided to give up being creative and dtried to organizing some.  Oh man, the things I have that I had forgotten about.  Time to put them on Etsy, why save them if I didn't even know I had them!

Yes I got another ticket last week.  If they pull my license, I can't go to work, right?  It was just alittle bump up, no one hurt and cars ok, just need to be buffed out.
