7-23-06 Are the brakes still on or what?
Though I had to drag my butt out of bed at 0845 cuz sleep was not coming back, I feel pretty good now. I have made rice and 2 packages of lumpia for dinner tonight, I also did the dishes and had a coke. I am now eating fruitloops and pondering the question "To Knit or To Crochet" a camera cover.
I have a new 7.2 megapixel digital camera! Of course I can only hold 8 photos cuz I don't have a memory stick yet. But it is way cool and soooooo tiny! I need to read the manual today cuz "B" is the only one who has used it. And it is MY camera!
Back to the arts and crafts section of the blog....I have just finished number 7 of the 9 "Burning Man" Halter tops. Yea! Of course 2 haven't been paid for yet. That will be $100 total. I have 2 left and it is on to the next project. I am not happy with the pattern for Gracie's blankie but maybe it will grow on me? Garterstitch isn't really that difficult, it is just the time factor because it seems like you do so much work on a project but don't get really far physically...will have to do some rows on that too. And a few on the 8th Halter top and I am embroidering also. Really relaxing! I wish that I had more talent with drawing and stuff. I just don't feel confident that I can get the picture in my mind out onto solid material accurately. A drawing class would be fun I think. I enjoy working with Watercolor pencils and of course needle work is my staple.
Perhaps I am onto something here. Destined perhaps to be a textile artist of sorts. I just wish that I was better at finishing projects and that I could come up with a project or two that wasn't tedious and could really make me money. How cool would that be? I feel that I am good at many things but need to be really "GREAT" at something. Hmmmmm. Topic for therapy this week!
Fruitloops are gone and needle work to be done. I need to pre-relax today, I have 5 back to back 12 hour shifts at the hospital this week! And a therapy appointment too which will be just perfect in the middle of the week. I need to think about a 2 day a week job that could be fun! I am so burned out on the hospital right now especially the ER! The people I work with and the whole environment is the pits.
Off to needlework-land.....
