I'm feeling inspired

I'm feeling inspired by so much these days. I have everything I think I need to make a good go at a business. I have already done patches for a car club and now will move on to bigger and bigger things.
I have always been creating something or another and always have a mess of some sort around the house. It's a good thing my husband loves me or I think he might move to a less crafty house.
I just got the Yudo yesterday and have already ruined one emulsion sheet! I told my husband it might be a couple of more before I am through! The instructions arent very clear and the training Video they give you is hokey. Some guy in overalls keeps pestering the girl showing you how to do the process. I just wanted to slap him from this distance. He should not be in there at all. He is of no help. I was in the 7th grade the last time I silk screened anything(Ok so thats around 37 years for those of you trying to figure it out) and I loved it then and I am sure I will love it now! So far I have had to redo the whole process twice. I needed a break so went and had dinner and can now think and see wherer I keep messing things up!
There will be know pictures today as I need to get this figured out so I can sleep tonight. If I dont get it resolved before I try to sleep I'll be lying there fidgeting keeping my husband awake!
Well wish me luck and I'll let you know how it turns out with pictures even!

Finally I feel completed!

You would think that marrying my best friend would complete me. You would think having lived my dream of owning a floating home would complete the dream list( I sold the house on the river in April and got my land legs back)but no. Or even going on a month long vacation for my 50th birthday would do it......
Well let me tell you what has done it( I know finally)......
Not only do I now have a Cricut Expression that I can(due to a new program)use any font or wingding found on the internet I also just today got the brand new YUDU screen print set up!!!!
I am going to be so busy I cant wait. I go to see a demonstration Saturday afternoon and am so excited. I have already come up with my first original design of the year. This is from my own little head..Not a stencil or copy. I hope you all will love it. I saw this in my sleep and had to draw it. When GOD speaks to me I have to listen.......
I am including some pictures of decals I have done with the Cricut Expression. These are for your car,mirror,notebooks or what ever your heart desires to put them on!!!!

It's Wednesday and I am waiting patiently for Paypal to accept a deposit I did last week so that I can buy my new program!
They say it takes 3-5 business days and today is the expected date of deposit according to their info. After I am able to DL this software I will be creating in a frenzy!
There is a Car show here in Portland on June 21st 2009 at the Jubitz Truck Center off of I-5. It was a great success last year and we are expecting around 200 cars this year!
There will be vendors( I am one of those) selling vintage clothing,car stuff, T shirts ,memorabilia and such ! It's a great time. Also there will be several bands. Pep Torez is the headliner this year and if you have ever seen him you will know this kids ROCKS!!!! Rock_A-Billy music is the best.
The show is called Rose City Roundup and is put on by the Driven Dead Car Club. They are a great group of people and the proceeds after expenses go to a charity. I'm not sure which one the have chosen this year.
If you have a event you want me to talk about just get a hold of me and I will put it here in my blog!

Another day to realize I need help

So, I have decided that I need help in getting myself to the gym. My wallet is getting more of a work out then I am. I need someone to call me everyday with lots of enthusiasm and say"Let's go to the gym"
I know I need to lose weight for my health( I have diabetes) and just for the sake of wearing those cute clothes I see all the time on Esty and Artfire.
When I was a kid I used to play with my Grandmother's sagging arm flesh. I thought it was great fun to watch it swing back and forth. She was so good about it. I don't remember her ever telling me to stop. If one of my Grand kids ever try that an me I'll lose it! LOL My Grandmother died at 58 yrs and I am turning 50. When I look at her in pictures when she was this age I just cant believe how old she lookied. I realize my life has been so much easier and less stressful. I feel like I am in my twenties most of the time. I have always been told I look great for my age!

So moving on to other things.

Here are some of my items from my shops at Esty and Artfire... I love creating things!!!

So this is blogging?

I have read blogs since they started years ago but I never thought I would become"a blogger"
I have two web based stores one on etsy and one on artfire( address to follow later).
Everything I read tells me that blogging is a great way to get your business out there and seen.
So I ask that you bear with me and if you have any suggestions to help me figure out what I am doing here feel free to comment!

So with that all said let me tell you a little( ok a lot) about myself and what I do.
First of all I am a Mother to 2 grown kids. My Daughter is going to be 31 and is a Nurse.She has three of the best kids in the world who call me "Grammy".
My Son is 29 and lives with my 3rd husband and I. He is a welder by trade but cant find a permanent job. He is also a Tattoo Artist and does amazing work. His style is traditional reminiscent of Sailor Jerry.
My Husband is a welder and makes ocean going barges for a large company here in Portland Oregon. He is my 3rd and last husband. Girls 3rd time is a charm. We were together 10 yrs before we finally got married( it was him not me that wasnt sure LOL)
I have 3 step kids who now that they are adults are wonderful( all you step moms know what I mean) They are 24,22,20 yrs old. The 22 yr old is married and has 2 great kids. The 24 yrold is a girl and she is getting married April 4th of this year. Her Honeymoon will be spent with her new husband in the sandy Iraq Desert! They are being deployed in May. They will get to stay together as they are in the same company in the Army Reserves.
As far as my business is concerned I make hand painted clothing using new and recycled clothing.I also design and paint circle skirts with scenes on them. I have started cutting vinyl for walls,decorating lamp shades and such. I can also make banners for your booth at craft fairs and such. I just finished an order for http://evilmommy.artfie.com. Check it out on my site
