wait wasn't mother's day LAST weekend?

no?
shit
ok happy mother's day everyone

are you SURE it wasn't last weekend?
you know........... maryland sheep and wool weekend?

we got two new commercial shelves from sam's club yesterday
for the studio
they went up 20 bucks
from 79.99 to 99.99
it doesn't seem like much but damn

however they are still better then the commercial shelves at lowes or any other place
and still cheaper

i intend on building my old workbench with them
(sort like a U shape, with the worktable at the bottom of the u and the storage on the arms.....the arms will support the worktable)

i need to start back to making dolls again
probably miniatures as well
my former wholesale distributor died about two years ago, i recently found out.
so i will have to either find a new distributor or distribute them myself

meanwhile i am still drawing
it's about time to start the color drawings
and i am trying to find my supplies
oh and i forgot to get the ammonia to wash the plastic drawers off so i can paint them
i HATE the green on them
the blue isn't so hot either
meanwhile i am sitting here writing this blog

as an aside
to anyone who does read this blog
are there any duckie or animal stories you particularly liked?
i have so far done the one with the duckies and the polar bears
the one with the duckies going down the hill to the day pen
the duckies in the bath tub
i am working on a general one of the garden and day pen
i imagine ( yes dorothy i didn't forget you) that the one where i fell in duck poop will make it into the roster (however NOT in color)

are there any other stories i should be thinking about?
even older ones like the woodpecker on the roof?
or ones about the chickens
or cats
there are almost 700 posts on this blog now
and i am overwhelmed at trying to find stuff
i wish i could figure a good way to organize the blog ( the style sheets are messed up...... so when i go monthly the type at the oldest posts is so small as to be invisible)

i am sort of thinking of redoing the look of the blog
because of this issue
i am kicking it around in the back of my head
any comments on that?
i am thinking of making it much cleaner and simpler
instead of the gramma's parlor look it has now
( although i love gramma's parlor.......and my house sorta looks like that)

well that's todays post i suppose
falstaff's wife is actively brooding eggs
the girls are laying
falstaff is getting tamer by the day ( one of my current projects is to get him used to being handled as i want to cut his toenails)
the young chickens are now cleaned ( bernie did it yesterday)
the old girls are retired and spending their days eating and talking to the younger ones

and the cats are doing cat things
thaddeaus naturally is always getting into trouble
and finally grew his fur back
he's a curly lambsie now

have a wonderful sunday you guys
