Well, I sure need to get better about entries! I am always thinking about writing, but to put cursor to screen seems so daunting a task. There's so much to write, that it's overwhelming!
Today was a pretty good day. I didn't get a real piece of work going but I did work a little. I told Roger today that even if my saw were in working order I wouldn't be out there sawing, so I don't know why I'm letting that slow me down?
I need to work on my patterns but I usually work at night, into the morning hours, and lately I've just been so tired. I'm trying to get my portraits online but I need to take a couple of more pictures before I can list the bigger ones. I'm not sure how they'll do, but I know that the people I sell them to regularly love them so hopefully they will go over well.
As I mentioned my saw is broken. I love my big yellow Dewalt, but it's never cared for me much. I'm glad that I did call and get the claim going before the warranty ran out! How odd for me to handle that kind of business on time! lol They said they'd send me a new one as soon as I get the receipt to them so I'm pretty excited about that. I realized that it's been hampering my progress for quite a long time, as I've not wanted to get out there and cut when I know that each stroke is causing more damage and that it could, and probably would, quit in mid-project... What a relief it will be!
As far as the new birds go, it's been an experience. I can't get close to Petey really, as he's not anything like Roo was and the female that is Roger's is just plain hateful at this point. They're both very young but having them both here causes them to want each other rather than us... it's hard but I'm working on it.
I've been working on my digital art more and more, and am finding that I love making things look chaotic and grungy. It's been fun, but I'm not sure there will be a place for it on Etsy. Ryan's opened a shop there for his but hasn't posted anything yet. When he does I will enclose a link. Pretty talented of course! lol
I went to College Day with him last Saturday and wow! was that a trip!! Adams State is going to be great for him. Everyone already knows who he is and the financial head handed him a $1000 scholarship just like that. He also did an on-the-fly addition for the music heads with their stand up bass, which he's only played briefly once before, and blew them away. He doesn't know what he'll receive from them for a scholarship yet, but they were truly impressed. I can't count my reaction, cuz' I'm always impressed with his playing! lol
Well, Austin's calling - wants to go to bed. I will try to write a little more later, but I'm not promising anything! lol I need to post some pics also and work on my poor portfolio! ttys, F
