I retired from teaching last March and have decided to tend to my goals of setting up an etsy shop where I could sell doll clothes and to make dolls and creatures from my other etsy shop.
I didn't know it was going to be so time consuming. I had to wait for dolls to arrive, then there's the new bodies and wigs, and eye chips. I finally got the conceptual framework of the doll clothing line for the store and now that majority of the doll models are here I can start a more fluid and efficient production.
My sewing machine and overlock machines needed repairing too so I had to tend to that and then there's my laptop's internal fan conking out. I waited 3 weeks for the replacement. It overheats and conks out. Finally I bugged the tech guys to install a temporary old one while I wait for the new one to arrive. It turns out all it needed was a few drops of wd 40. :)
I've been working on the studies for the moly. I'm stuck with the dream composition. I've had several dreams and I'm trying to incorporate them into the page but haven't figured out how. I'd really rather have a more fluid composition rather than a visual collage. I'll pick up on it again this Sunday. I aim to mail them out before the end of the month.
My true heart's desire is so much more personal now that John's in my life so I'm trying to work out the visual composition of that too. I'm trying to figure out a symbolic way of narrating it all. Akh!
The weather's been better of late. The first 2 weeks of the month have been stormy, literally. Happily I'm in an elevated part of the city, safe from all the flooding that results from the storms.
Sorry for the delay, everyone. I know your all busy with your life too but are able to cope better with the deadlines. I just wanted to assure you all that I'm still here and will finish the two books within this month.
Okay, back to work.
Happiness to everyone!
