(no subject)
Jul. 26th, 2011 01:02 amWe had a pretty tremendous storm by Arizona standards... It's finally cooled the air a bit, and as a bonus...watered my personal Savannah.
I've been slightly slack with the chainmail production..but I'm going to catch up with it, I swear. Almost all of my supplies have been ordered..and I've been doing fairly well at listing at least 10 items a day on Etsy. Plus getting a hang on my taxes...and as a bonus..my credit score randomly went up! So...while I'm teetering on broke, and trying to figure out how to live off the last few hundred from my last show, things are ok. And I know if I keep at it, they'll get better.
I started painting again. I haven't really painted in ages.. but there was an image that kept lurking in my head..and I knew she wanted to come out.. So I started..
This is as far as I've gotten... and the background has come out pretty much exactly as I had it in my head... which means of course that I am absolutely terrified to continue with it. I'm positive that I'm going to utterly bork it. That being said... this is as far as I've gotten so far..

I did however make myself promise that I wouldn't continue until I finished this one...so I'd better just put on my big girl panties and finish it. I think that the main subject may have changed completely now that the background is finished. My original idea just doesn't seem to fit with this background. We'll see.
I need to get on it with my health and exercise. I've been pretty damned awesome when it comes to the no soda rule..and I've been drinking tonnes of water.. but I've been slack with exercise. I might just have to suck it up and pay the $150 for my Bikram classes. I miss them, and I know that they helped my eating habits, as well as just the physical activity.
That's all the news that's fit to print...errr...type. Right. That.
