Today was a day of shopping and finishing up some crafts and starting new ideas.
This is a 3d print of a kuni. It’s not a great picture, I admit. But the picture was more to show the cord we wanted to wrap it with. I was worried the brown wouldn’t look good. I am so glad I was wrong. The brown suede looks really good, I think.
Besides that, not much else is going on. I am going to bed, though. I still have a low-grade headache, so hopefully, sleeping will help. Good night and sweet dreams all! Kitt ☺️
Let me start with reminding everyone how much I hate walking. Hiking… Good…Walking… Bad…
With saying that…
Yay, the weather is nice enough for hubby and I to take a walk at night again. Our son even joined us. Yay!!! It wasn’t a long walk. We just went around the block. And yes, by the time we were done, my knee was sore again, but so what. We got to start our walks again. I was careful, and after resting it for about 15 minutes after we got back.my knee was fine again. 🙂 I really hope the weather holds now so we can keep walking. I know it’s good for me mentally and physically, and I believe it helps my hubby, too.
On to other things of the day. It was so pretty out today. Spring is an awesome season, that’s for sure.
On to a more serious note….
Today, I realized I have a l9t of thinking to do. It is one of these thinks where you have to do it alone. You think you want to tell others and have a conversation, but once it starts, you realize you need to figure things out without others’ input. This is where I struggle, though. I am very open in many ways, but talking a little today, I realized I really need to just think things through for myself. I know that sounds ominous, but it’s nothing bad, just personal life obstacles I need to decide on. We all have them and the choices we need to think about.
On to a more fun topic… okay, fun is a strong word for those who don’t like or see the need, in crafting, but fun for me. I didn’t get a lot done today. But I did get more dragon scales painted. This way, tomorrow, Ant (My son) can start pinning the next dragon egg in the Genshin Impact series he is doing. One hundred more scales need to be done, but I will finish those tomorrow. Plus, I am thinking about trying to make clay voodoo dolls. Just cutie ones, not real ones. But we will see.
Wish me luck tomorrow with the insurance issues I have been having for our business. Tomorrow, we get the one company straightened out, and the insurance will be good, or I am calling until I find a company and a good rate!
I went a little crazy making things today. Hope you enjoy!
The tombstones need a little work still, and the plague doctors might get a touch of something, not sure what yet. But you get the idea of cuteness, I hope. Kitt ☺️
I sometimes think my dogs have it in for me with their farts. I mean, seriously, how can they fart in tandem way too often. And they do it while laying down around wherever I am. So stinky!!!! But I still love their stinky butts!!! Lol
The toe I made today slightly tore around the nail bed. Hopefully, hubby was able to fix it. It’s such a small hole. Sadly, we won’t know till tomorrow.
Besides that, it was a quiet, snowy day.
I am tired now, though, so I am off to bed. Night everyone, sweetest of dreams!!! Kitt ☺️
The base baby is a mold, but I add to it to make it my own to sell. So far, for these, I have added the elf ears. I have made others since this picture to add to them. Four of them have horns, and the others are the simple mold only. After I back them a little while, I will add hats, diapers, blankets, and just different embellishments to male them cuter. 😉 I will take more pictures, hopefully tomorrow.
I saw this advertisement for an app to help a person move more. It’s called Walkfit. Has anyone used it before? If so, could you tell me if it is as low impact as it sounds??? I am thinking of giving it a try.
I want to try it or something that is low impact to help me move a little more. Maybe build up my stamina. With the Renaissance faires coming up, I have to do better. Mostly for me, but also so I don’t over due it there setting up, working, and then breaking down. Plus the drive time for each one, each way. I need to be stronger.
Do you ever wonder what your life would have been with different choices while at the same time wondering why you aren’t changing your life now???? Though I would never change the choices in my life because of the family I have, I do still wonder. Then I see where I am, what I have, what I actually want, and realize again that I am no longer 25 like I think I am in my head. Yes, I know it’s a lot to think about. But this is how my mind works in a split second. And I wonder why my head hurts at times. Lol 😆
I complain a lot about work. I know this. But today, I actually defended a question asked to one of my cohorts by a manager. My cohort thought the question was stupid, and the manager basically just tried to find something to get on her about. Though I agree the manager was probably just trying to be a jerk to the cohort, it was a legitimate question in general. The manager asked if they were doing vault. (Vault has its own office space. 1 of 4 closed off spaces where it is easier to do work).
This is a legitimate question. Technically, if you are not doing vault work, you probably shouldn’t be in the office. But when you have a limited amount of space, you are 1 of 3 employees with a key, and then 4 managers have keys, it is a very good place to get work done. Especially since the HR lady calls you in that office because that’s the easiest place to work. Reality though, no, if you are not doing vault work, you should not be in the vault.
But after many conversations with my cohort, I believe the manager questions not because it was a vault but because she was looking for something to get on her about. But the question itself, I will defend. The reason behind the question is that I find suspicious.
Today was overall good, though. I got crafting done. Helped with dinner, helped a friend, and got to watch The Traitors, UK, yay. Hope your day was good as well. Kitt ☺️
Started going through the dragon eggs today. Wow, we have a few. Plus, the boxes that make sets, so many of the same color. I don’t know what my mom was thinking when she painted so many the same color.
These are the rock eggs they tried for a little. They are cool but not quite what people look for. 🤔 I still think they should be shown. I am going to put them on Facebook Market place and try to sell them there. I might get lucky.
Hubby had another set of breathing tests today. Luckily, the lady giving them was great he said. She took her time and made sure he understood and used hand signals to help him through the tests. Plus, she allowed for breaks in between the ones she could. Basically, she just didn’t rush him. Which, in turn, made it to where he didn’t passport during the testing like he usually has. Yay, I say!
Today was a good day all around, I think. Hope yours was too. Night all! Kitt
So, I answered this question last year, so I figured I would answer it again this year. Last year, I said myself. Honestly, I am still a work in progress.
This year, I am choosing to take my business to the next level. I want it to be more th. Just a side hustle. Every day, I want to quit my job. I can’t, though. Some say, “Just go for it.”
I can’t just go for it. I have bills to pay. I wish I could be like this kitty instead…
I am mostly confident. But reality is, I have to pay the bills. I can’t risk losing everything quite yet.
Instead, I have a plan-ish… I will explain. Another time, since it is an ish plan, not a full one yet. Lol Kitt 😆
Yes, that’s how I am feeling today, writing this blog.
Today, I made two toes. It’s great to have, too, that’s for sure. I hope we have just as good a holiday season as last year, if not better.
Each toe takes about an hour and a half for me to make the base and stuff it. Then it takes my hubby 3 to 5 days to finish them off. It is quite time-consuming at times. But so much fun when we see peoples reactions!
Besides that, we also worked on my craft room. It is slow going because I can’t do a lot at one time. Plus, I am also putting things where they belong as well. I sometimes feel that is the hardest part. Lol
Today has been a good day. I am feeling blessed about it and the smiles I had. Hope everyone else has a smile or more in, too. Kitt ☺️
That’s it, I am convinced the cash machine at work knows my schedule and only goes down when I am working. Lol Obviously, that’s not true, but it sure feels like it. Every day this week it has gone down or the internet wasn’t working or something has happened on the day I work. So I do kind of wonder.
Besides that, it has been a pretty good day. Made homemade pumpkin muffins. And by homemade, I mean we baked the pumpkins, and I made them from scratch. So yummy!!!!
We are watching the last episode of American Horror Stories from Hulu. They are kind of gross but not terrible. Fine for a simple watch.
We started redoing the room my mom was in to turn it back into my craft room. I am excited about that! Tomorrow we are going to work more on it. Yay
Had a good day with my hubby and son. So, all in all, it has been a productively great day. Hope your day has been good, too. Kitt 😀
PS I am adding the pumpkin muffin recipe in another post if you want it. 🙂
When I was a little girl I wanted to be a ballerina. I took classes and was quite promising actually. But in my infinite childish wisdom and idealizing my brother, I quit doing that and took karate with him.
When I was an early teen I could sing beautifully. But after a horrid case of bronchitis and the flu, I no longer can sing where anyone truly wants to hear.
My senior year in going into graduation, I tested to see what I might be good at. One of the things I tested into was an air traffic control operator. I would have been great at that. But the guy I was dating then said he wouldn’t wait around for me to do training for 6 weeks or whatever it was. And my dumbass thought he hung the moon so I didn’t do it.
In my 19th year to my 21st ish year I was a bookkeeper. I am very good at that, but I went on the road with my ex-husband as a truck driver. Probably the best we ever got along to be honest. But honestly, we were not a good match. He was very mentally abusive and I was young at stupid for a while.
My mid-20’s I started dating my husband now. After a couple years I carried a baby to term. I was prepared to get a job again, but my husband give me the best gift he could have, I was a stay at home mom and wife. What I always wanted to be. I loved it…
By my 30s I had 2 kids and was going to school full time. I was great at that. Lol I love school. Ultimately, I got 2 masters degrees. One in Education and one in Organizational Management. Since I home schooled both my kids and I became a basic bookkeeper again, those were quite helpful.
But today, as I have said in another post, crafting is what I want to do full time. Luckily, we don’t have a ton of bills so it is feasible, as long as we work our goals and dreams to make it happen.
Plus you know, blogging and writing, those would be the ultimate fun. Oh and of course reading. Lol Kitt 😊
I have another Renaissance Faire coming up. I have been very excited and nervous about it since I signed up. I know it has the potential to make me a good bit of money. But here is the issue … I have a lot of other things on my mind now too. It has made it hard for me to focus on making things for this faire.
When this happens to you, do you have a way to snap out of the mind rabbit hole and get stuff done? Or do you just let it run its course?
I get everything I need to get done, done. It’s only anything extra that is getting hard to add to my already turbulent kind. It’s the extra that is the problem. But the extra is what gives me the opportunity to make more money, which I need for bills and holidays coming up.
I’m sorry for the ramble, but honestly, any ideas will help right now. I am still excited and nervous for the next renaissance faire, but my mind is like… Nope I got nothing for anything extra right now. So any help would be great.
Hey everyone, I forgot to tell you about this one afterwards. But I remembered, yay me and yay you. Lol
Here we go…. Niles was fine. At first I thought we were going to have a great spot, ended up not so great once Swords of Valor set up. They completely blocked our tent from sight. Which, don’t get me wrong, I love Swords of Valor. They are a great bunch of people who do a great show. I just don’t think a vendor should have been put behind their set up. Honestly, if you can go and see their performance, it’s amazing.
The people who came out were an interesting mix. From everyday wear to elaborate costumes to even a couple Doctor Who. Great verity.
Sorry no pictures of the Doctors though. Sad I know but I do my best!
The visitors who came out were nice and chatty and some were down right fun. Like the above picture. She put that together in a month I think she said. Wow!
Besides for bad placement it was a fun time. We are looking forward to next year to see what it will bring.
Do you like renaissance faires? If so let me know. I am always on the look out for new ones. Kitt 🧚♂️🐉🔮
