I'm having some fun...

I don't really have anything to 'show and tell'

I quickly put this little 'witch' together

just to have a photo to go with my notes...

I've been very diligently sketching out

some new ideas and pieces

especially for Fall and Halloween.

It's been a lot of fun!

And...I've been working on

some new pendants...that are very cool...1

I really hope I can have them in the shop

by the first of next week.

It depends on whether or not

the supplies we've ordered

arrive in time!

My poor dolls

keep taking a

'back seat'

I really must set aside

maybe even a whole week

to work on those!

A quick F.Y.I.....

I've finally got ALL of my paintings

and ALL of my mirrors

listed in the shop.

Originally, it was my intention to list something new everyday, or as close to everyday as possible,

this has just become too demanding.

I'm sooo busy at the moment, getting everything underway for the Fall Season, (and dealing with the EXTREME heat) that I'm going to have to cut my new listings back to once or twice weekly.

I have got some wonderful pendants in the works!

As soon as I think I have a good enough variety completed,

I will list all of them at once.

I've put up a new 'banner'

This is my new 'banner' in my Rustic Goth Etsy Shop.

At least, it started out to be my new banner.

This is what I ended up

with.

Since the banners have to be sized a little different than what I'm used to....it ended up more 'distorted' than I hoped it would.

I'm seriously thinking about designing something a bit more specific to the shop...

hopefully I'll be able to squeeze a few minutes (or hours more like it) from somewhere so I can come up with something that I will really LOVE!

I've Fallen A Little Behind...

I'm not actually taking a 'break'

not on purpose anyway!

The house and the studio have just been

too damned hot to get anything done.

I've got a small window air conditioner in the studio...

and I put in yet another window air conditioner in my living room

just to try to stay cool enough

to stay on top of things.

I've got someone coming to look

at the central air unit

...

maybe it's the compressor

or something.

In the meantime

I'm trying to get all of my packing done

and everything mailed out...

----

then,

I'll probably work mostly

on digital originals

(I really don't want to move around too much in this heat)

until the temperature finally drops into the low 90's!

Oh...I do complain just tooooo much!

I'll have to do something about that.

It is Sooo Hot!

Oh my gosh....it is soooooo hot!

My central air conditioner keeps

tripping the circuit breaker...

that can't be good!

And...I've moved

my studio upstairs...ohhhh nooo!

It is sooo hot up there..

and I've put in a window air conditioner.

Problem is..

my print center/ shipping center

(and now...jewelry making center)

is in the other room

the one WITHOUT the air conditioner.

So, I'm just not moving

as fast as I would like to...

and I probably won't

until there is a bit

of a cool spell.

A Few Mirrors

I've got my first mirrors

listed in the shop

They came in a couple of

days ago

and I really love how

they turned out.

I've got several more

designs that I will be listing

in the next day or two...

I've got

more pendants on the way...

I'm waiting on some

chokers and a few

other findings

so that I can

get them finished.

What happened???

My Christmas in July...3-4-2 Print Sale

has ended!

It seemed a good time to

retire a BUNCH of my Prints!

My Shop looks pretty barren at the moment.

But, NOT FOR LONG....I'll start "filling up the 'shelves' " this week-end.

My mirrors have arrived...

and I will be listing those.

I've got a few new pendants finished...they are gorgeous!

I've redesigned the pattern of my dolls and

they are coming along...(I'm hoping to begin listing those in a couple of weeks.)

And...there's more..more..more.....on the way!
