Unfair Truths v 1.5

Well, like Esther Williams, I opened my eyes and smiled at the camera, blinking chlorine away, and batting my lashes.

Didn't realize that my suit will always be a bit out of date, but "shrug" who is it going to bother..

I found out the other day, to get back on subject, that I can't do it all.

I should not be surprised, because what I do do, I do okay, but not exceptional..

I have expectations, but maybe I don't worry to much about the swim suit riding up my behind, because what I am doing, I LIKE IT!

Since I am now credited with some little successes, I thought maybe I should try my hand at some stuff I see online, some lovely artsy stuff, that I know I can do and would like to try...

I actually have hundreds of pieces of paper with patterns and diagrams and suggestions, and they are not really FILED in any kind of system, which is what causes me great frustration.

So I have put aside baskets to put a pattern and material into, and then I can put that project on my table and WORK on it!

If I have to pick it up and move it, well it can go back into the basket.. right?

I am afraid it will become a UFO.. Un Finished Object... and then the pattern and supplies may be raided to finish something else...


Another big sigh


Of course this comes along right at the time I am getting ORGANIZED and wow it is TIMELY... cause I do need to put my ducks in some kinda row, and start to create STUFF that could help me recoup some of the money I spend gathering my supplies...

but, I need somewhere to show off my talents, but nary a venue has come to my attention yet... except my lovely local bookstore, bless them, and I am planning to visit there tomorrow

there is that word again... tomorrow...

planning to straighten up my display, take away some and put out new, create some interesting levels so folks have to move around to look... and such...

Of course I may go and find out she has boxed up my stuff because she hasn't seen me in a month ... sigh...

I also plan to show her my proposal concerning the community stuff - FREE artsy fartsy crafty upcycle/recycle/make it and take it classes...

Stuff that I can put in a newspaper article -

Where I plant a seed by display - in all its wonder- some of the things I make using card board cereal boxes, plastic grocery bags, and fabric scraps...

and DUCT TAPE...

so tonight I need to be on top of my game to be sure I have some of my "things" ready

and I MAY just go over to the book store tonight if I get angry at my other half

again...

BUT

Since I 'can't do it all' referrs to the fact that I do not have the time or resourses to try every single artsy fartsy thing I see on the WWW, and some lovely woman mentioned on her blog.. that she had to stop reading every single website and every single crafters blog.. to keep her time for her craft

So if I want to write, or edit photos, or TAKE photos or paint a wall or make a dammit doll to send to a friend... I MUST have the time

I MUST TAKE the TIME

I need some me time.. and I should figure out how to get it...
