a blast from the past..

i have been sending links to some of the really funny posts from my blog to a friend of mine, periodically to make her laugh.

she's had a rough year with some really serious losses, and it's the least i can do to make her laugh for a second or two.

i thought maybe some of you folks would like a laugh too, because there are times during the holiday season and throughout the year that you just need to laugh, to read something funny or silly. so i was sort of thinking about how to do that.... i was going to set up a page and then tag the posts (i am still going to tag the posts) 

but i realized that maybe i needed to do it regularly? 

now the first link i sent to my friend was this one "i come by it honestly"

it is about the time my parents got stuck in my front door.

i swear sometimes i needed a laugh track for parts of my life

this was was pretty funny. (and if you do go and read it, and find it funny let me know- it is a true story, and still cracks me up- my family was nuts i swear.....)

now i need to come with a tag for the old funny posts, so if you have any ideas let me know.

comments are open.... (HINT HINT)

next up, a continuation of the current painting in progress, (the other day i showed you the layout, now there is the beginnings of the first color washes on it)- i know i like to see how things progress and i thought maybe you folks would like it too-- i won't be able to paint on it as much as i would normally, due to the ongoing work on getting the first nest series, the bird series etc ready to list on etsy. 

i am trying so hard with that. it's taking longer then i thought as i have to keep stopping for either camera battery recharging or other unavoidable things. but i am continuing. - i have also found unbendable mailers for the prints. 

i found a way to do them as cards as well, but the cards would have a retail of about 3.00 each, so i am not sure (the kickstarter i was working on last year, priced the cards out to be affordable as sets, but that was from a large volume order through a local printer, not done in the studio)

detail of painting

ok .....in knitting news, i am working on the vine lace pattern, and am reduced to counting after i work every single row!- it's ok though as i still find it relaxing,......although it would be better if i didn't have to. counting however is better then tinking (knitting backwards) ** if you want to knit this stitch it's in one of the walker treasuries, let me know and i'll dig it out

now this post i am typing at night, it's actually monday the 2, but it'll post in the morning. tomorrow while you are having your coffee, i will be slaving away over the hot lights, shooting more photos of my work. (apparently doing that correctly is an art in itself)

anyhow let me know if you enjoy that archived post, because then i'll put more links up to the funniest posts (funny stuff seems to go in cycles around here..... the latest cycle is more creative as opposed to funny but the funny cycle will return, it always does)

take good care

until next time
