The Sun is Out!

..............And it's time for a walk! Last night I was finally able to sleep on my left side without dizziness and I can now look down without puking all over my feet! I love it! So today, I celebrate with my little partner in crime at our local thrift store, looking for leather and pants that might fit. Then off to see Mark at work, so Ciaran can flirt a bit, and then off for a cookie and coffee, so Ciaran can flirt some more. He really likes to flirt. Yipee for feeling better! Have a rainbow-like, metallic-y, purple-y, peaceful weekend everyone.................but only if you want to:)

Waiting For Some Tea

This not drinking coffee thing is kind of sucking! I love coffee, but it is not loving me these days, so tea it is. I just hate waiting for the kettle. I wish it would just make itself first thing in the morning. Especially on these cold rainy days when I need A LOT of motivation to get up. I just plain need motivation to get anything done right now. Now that I am feeling better, I am just kind of floundering. Afraid to work because it tends to bring the dizzy back. When I don't work, I kind of lose it and get a little bit bummed. So now it is just all about getting back into a routine. It's just hard to right now. I am happily distracted with some other things as well, which is not helping. I just have to find that patience and my long lost motivation and go with it. I will get there, some day, some way!

I Got Some Work!

My shop has been pretty slow, and since I've been sick, I haven't really been able to list anything. So I was very happily surprised to get a couple of custom orders to work on. It has been so nice to have something to work on instead of just sitting and staring at the wall. I am hoping it will motivate me to get cracking on other projects that need finishing and stocking up on inventory for my shops. Until then I am content just to be doing a little bit. It feels good to be back to work. I don't think I was meant for sitting still and doing nothing. It just doesn't work in my favor.

Distractions, Distractions, Distractions

A lot of them lately, the little boogers! Getting into my head and not budging, only to make me miss out on all the fun. Since the dizziness is fading, so should they.............I hope! I keep talking myself out of working due to this or that needing to get done. When what I really need to do is sit down and work..............A LOT! I have a show next month, I am trying desperately to stock up on inventory for the year, and I want work on some metal. The little distraction boogers keep getting in my way! THEY want me to go outside and play, go shopping for materials, and just sit and stare and contemplate the future. I think this is why I am digging our rainy days so much, because as long as Ciaran is content, I can work and not have to worry about leaving the house. Now if the kitchen and bathroom would just clean themselves, life would be perfect!

Well This Is Cool!

With all my dizziness this last couple of weeks, I still managed to get a couple of custom orders done. I made my first circular zipper pouch, and it worked out so well! Me like it enough to make a few more!


A day without dizziness! I woke up sleeping on my side which I haven't been able to do in about two weeks now, and I didn't even fall down when I got out of bed! It feels so nice to feel normal again! I hope it lasts. I am so happy I could dance..............but, I don't really want to take a chance quite yet. Maybe I will wait for a couple of days until I dance, that way, I can make sure my non-dizzy self is still non-dizzy. I guess Friday the 13th was good luck for me this year! YIPEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

All Is Quiet

One of my favorite things about rainy days is that they seem so quiet and that makes me feel peaceful. I need that peace right now. Slowing down and taking a breath and just being grateful was what today was all about for me. I am just enjoying the end of the day with the kiddo, my guy, and the fuzzy and shelled wonders. It was a really good day.

Oh Boy!

Some of my newer heart shaped items in honor of Valentine's Day. I am excited about our Valentine's fun this year. Our little family will be heading downtown to our favorite coffee house for a coffee for mom and dad, and a hot chocolate with extra whipped cream for the kiddo. Then home to have a nice dinner together and to watch a couple of movies. Simple and sweet. That is all I want.

So, my dizzy head is giving me a bit of a break today. I can move my head in both directions and look down now without getting dizzy. It is so lovely! I feel sooooooo much better now. I was starting to think I would be dizzy forever! I actually finished one project and got another one cut out yesterday, even with my new plan for work. I just hope I can keep it up. I tend to work best in the "all or none" approach. Meaning, when I work, I can work for hours on end and not take breaks. This was wonderful when I wasn't a mom and only worked in my off hours from my day job. I needed that super concentrated brain power to work through all that my stressful work week had handed me. Now, it's a bit different. I need breaks. I need breaks to be a mommy, to eat, to drink, and just to rest. No more working until I am cross-eyed and sore all over.........at least not for a while.
