Well it's been awhile since I have written anything. I am working two jobs right now and trying to get new orders for my shops. I've been painting a friends house for her as she has no creative ability what so ever!She says she doesn't know what she would do with out me. I am also pretty much redecorating the house with new curtains and such!
My morning job will be ending soon and I cant say I am sorry to see it go. I work for a Quadriplegic man and work 7 days a week. I have no back up and worked 7 months without a day off. I asked if he could find someone to work the weekends so I could have some time to my family and he decided to replace me altogether.That's fine with me. It leaves me more time to work on what I really want to do and I can get unemployment also which will help with the bills. My husband has been very supportive lately and has even had me make decals for his friends at work( of course at no charge) to give them an idea of what we can now do!
I will be going on vacation as of April 1st. My husbands daughter is getting married( I might have mentioned this before...oooops) and then I am flying from Omaha to Nashville to visit my Uncle and his family. They have four sailboats and he is trying to decide if we will drive to the coast( boat on a trailer) and sail to the Florida Keys for a few days or sail up the Tennessee River 100 miles. I'm game for either one although the Keys would be fabulous!!!So needless to say I wont be blogging for a while. After I leave Tennessee I am flying to Oklahoma to my Daughters foar a week and then to Denver for another and final week... Then back home and I am afraid I will need a vacation from my lengthy vacation. I have never been gone this long. I'm usually good for a week then I need home.... This should be interesting. The reason behind all the traveling after the wedding is I am turning 50 and wanted to have a spectacular birthday. I think a few days in the Keys is just the answer.
I have gotten a few jobs making patches for jackets and such from friends of my son. he is a good salesman and proud of his Mom as I am proud of him. He is also very artistic( Tattooist). I have all thje patches screen printed and now just need to satin stitch the edges. I think I will seee what the guy wants. they are iron on so maybe I wont have to add the stitching. He works with youth in danger of joining the skinheads. He mentors them and is trying to help them see that isnt a good life to lead. I'm a sucker for helping youth find the right road to walk on so I wont make much off this deal. I can call it my charity work for the month.
I am adding a picture of a lamp I decorated with vinyl words and fern fronds. It turned out very nhicely I think. It's amazing what you can do with this stuff and a Cricut. I love my Cricut... I'm not sure how I ever thought aI could have a business without one. I am also adding a picture of the Patches I have for this young man and his teens in danger.
Business is going slowly but I guess in this economy I am lucky to be able to continue doing what I love so much....
I'll caht at you all later.. Christina
