The beginning....the short version. And old writer never dies...their pens just dry up. I think that happened to me. However I found the ink well and here I am. What does a person like me blog about? Good question.
Lets start with 'the person like me'. Well, there isn't a person like me....hopefully. That would be hard on them! It's the 'right brained' 'crazy art lady' 'fly by the seat of your pants' kind of things I carry with me. But, that IS who I am. I am a mom. Kids are young adults. But I'm still a mom. I'm an artist, though I haven't picked up a brush in years...I still consider myself a 'painter'. (in my dreams) I am a jewelry maker, creator, writer of tutorials and magazine contributor. I am me. Me who likes to wear baggy pj pants and sweatshirts. Me who finds myself in the grocery store in those baggy pants and sweats, not intentionally. (Oh did I mention the slippers?) Ya, it's true.
I'm just me. I work at home, creating, learning, writing, selling jewelry ...so I do get out to the post office now and again. (clothing checks are necessary now lol)
Learning is the BIG problem. so much I want to keep adding to my 'collection' of skills. Master one, move on to something totally unrelated. It's the way I do this ...I guess the ADD thing could be going on, who knows. Who cares right? Focus sing is not my fine point. .
So, the beginning. The beginning is so many things that there are far to many starting blocks to push off from. I do what I do and I am who I am.
Just an ordinary person doing ordinary things and watching as others do extraordinary things.
Jewelry to be made in the am. Soldering to be done, beads to create behind the flame and a new 'thing' I want to try. This ordinary lady is going to bed, and ....I've been ready (clothing ) all day!
