Monday again :P

Ah well, had a fairly quiet weekend, so that was good. Got a lot of rest and am definitely getting over the bug I had. Took apart a DVR and a monitor. Got lots of cool parts. Also made a new pair of earrings: Kept them fairly simple, used some neat glass beads for accent: Turned a heat sink fan into a pin : Could also be used as a tie tack, tho at 3" on the diagonal it might be a bit big for that. Made a new mobile, using wooden dowels for the cross pieces: Seriously bummed tho, got email back that my artwork wasn't accepted at the local coffee shop for their March art show. If this keeps up I am going to get down right discouraged and start thinking that the people who say nice things about my stuff are just being polite to the stupid chick who thinks she can make art :( I guess every artist probably goes thru times like this. So I will just keep plugging away at it and hope to get my stuff into a public venue sometime soon.

I'm back!

Not that I really went anywhere. Haven't had much to post and was sick this last weekend (dear body, 3 day weekend is NOT code for "let's get sick!") so thus lack of posting. Finished an art piece I hope to have on display at a local shop that has monthly art shows. Was originally going to submit photos for consideration, decided on mobiles and light catchers instead. So hopefully they will accept them for the show. Fingers crossed. The hardest part of the whole thing is coming up with an artists statement. I hope the one I wrote is okay. I can write, but that was the hardest paragraph I've ever written in my life. Self-promotion isn't one of my strong points. Watched a LOT of Netflix this last weekend, lots and lots of murder for the most part. FINALLY getting to see all the Midsomer Murders I haven't seen. When I usually caught it it was always the same 5 episodes I'd seen before.

Today's food pron

Made gluten free puffs yesterday and roasted a pork roast. So lunch today was pork and cheese stuffed in the puffs and heated in the toaster oven: This week's book is The Black Count: Glory, Revolution, Betrayal, and the Real Count of Monte Cristo by Tom Reiss. REALLY enjoying it.

Had a very good weekend

Scored a balance board for the Wii for $30 at the Goodwill in Lewiston. So now we have a Wii Fit Plus disc so we can work out at home. Just did a couple simple things yesterday and I hurt all over. Was stretching muscles I forgot I had doing some yoga moves. OUCH!!!!! Decided to color my hair Saturday night. My SIL had left me some the rest of the color stuff she used on me. Came out a bit redder then I had planned on: Decided to cut my bangs myself and it all came out nicely: I has taken a bit of getting used to the color. Hubby loved it right away, for me it was a bit of a shock, but I am getting to like it. Wore another closet find: It was warm enough today for a dress and my nice flats. I did pull on a pair of tights, wasn't going to be THAT warm!
