Push ups and clay

What an odd title,but hey its what I am doing now..
I have been inspired by watching the birds fly south, as well seeing the leaves fall... so I have returned to my roots and began working on my weaved vases again... I'm really excited with my first piece, and need to finish the feathers... then I think I will make a halloween piece to get into the spirit of things.... hmmm ideas are flowing threw my brain.....
AS for the push ups, well as I type this my right wrist is in a brace... Yes thats right a brace... yes me and my gung ho to exercise.. decided to place my 25lb daughter on my back and do push ups.... it was alll going well, until the last one, and my little one shifted her weight and well you can imagine the rest... I am typing with my left hand while my right throbs!!!!!
I laugh now.... not so much last night!!!

Ideas Ideas Ideas

So I am sitting here, wondering what the heck am I doing up this early... oh I know.. yeah my brain won't shut off. I have been working with polymer clay again, and now the ideas are just flooding out of my head, unfortunately..... it's at the wrong time of the day! 3am is not my idea of having a brainstorm.

learning to drive

If this isn't a scary thought!! Adele driving!!!!!

My new favorite picture

So I have to thank my friend Andrea for taking this amazing picture of Addy and me... I just LOVE it.. God I love this kid....

Missing

So my little one is with her father and his girlfriend on vacation. Which is giving me some free time to enjoy for a week. But truth be told, I feel lost and like a piece of me is missing.

I attempted to do some creativity aka working with my clay, and nothing but disaster occurred. Prototype after prototype, nothing but failure, only 2 pieces worked. So there is a silver lining, but discouraging to say.

I am hoping that tonight will be more successful, and I might be able to create something magical... at least in my mind. Need to go back to my roots, what did I enjoy making the most.. oil lamps, Santas, Bottles of hope.. sculptures... I have come up with pendent ideas that did work, and here at work everyone likes them.. so it would be worth trying again.. thank god for a pasta machine motor!!!!

UGH UGH UGH

Sometimes I love technology, and other times......
and today is one of those times.. I am trying to show you people some pictures.. and no show.. so I will try again a little later
