May. 11th, 2009 @ 08:16 pm i love the gulf
deb, jon, corey, and i went to the gulf today and swam and swam and even got a little sunburnt teehee
we went to fort desoto and it was pretty cool. there are lots of spanish forts in florida teehee
i collected a nice amount of sea shells to use on jewelery as well as for the vannie :) most of her sea shells are from miami and delaware :)
so that was amazing and i am so happy to have swam in the ocean one last time before leaving this wonderful place that is florida=it is paradise :)
then we went to billy;s burgers, which is a hoot within itself. but they had a rooftop bar that overlooked a small inlet bay thing, where we saw at least 4 MANATEES!! i have never seen that animal before and they were just beautiful!! i am so glad we took the day to have fun away from work :) but of course corey and i came back and tiedyed :) and of course i want to sew tonight after dinner :)
oh a wonderful day! i cannot wait to look at some of the pics...

on the business side, turns out that the one thing i cannot do with my new phone is List on Etsy....so joan, i think we need to design an arrangement :) i will email you this week, and i will be in spring grove next tuesday so :) if you wanna grab some coffee and chat let me know :)
i am freaking out about packing it in an working for taylor this summer
i dont think we will make it to milwaukee cus we have to go to maine!! i am sad!
but i loves you all, and hope that baby girl is doing great mama steph :)

am coming to u live from my bed! I have been quite sick with
Some 24 hour flu bug and how convenient(yet thoroughly annoying)
this new device is...aka a freakish phone...I have managed to
do a small amount of sewing today..but that is about it teehee actually I
have been reading obama and other political sites..I used to
really be in the know about things but there is a lot I have lost touch with over the years
I just feel better now that I am reading more
I am hoping to be in milwaukee in June..I miss it...but I think I love
Florida the most

Apr. 21st, 2009 @ 09:15 am going up the country...
wherever you want to go -who is that canned heat or something!?
Well, i am visiting with my family and met my new nephew, Alex Morgan yesterday - by far the cutest baby i have ever seen! todd and emily are doing well, have a great new house, and jenna is a super adorable older sister. I am disturbed by how few breast feeding tops their are on the market that i can take to emily today ! why isnt this something that is in every department store so that i can take them to emily!??? what a culture we live in!
and thank you joan it was so great to see you yesterday, and i hope you love the shop and continue to support the artists in it!! there is another great one that i have skirts in right now called magnolia house arts, it is in west minster, just south of hanover
well i am off to do taxes and taxes and taxes with my mother in law :) and plant a garden :)
love you all and steph i am really going to mail to you so so soon!

Apr. 14th, 2009 @ 12:16 pm my head hurts
i have made a couple new skirts, but with a huge show tomorrow, and life on the farm weighing me down, i just dont know what more i can do...i would love to finish some more skirts
corey says i work too hard, and maybe he is right, but you cannot make money without gorgeous things to sell so
i have to make them
if only there was someone to work online for me
cus i have spent 3 hours working and working and posting and emailing
and i am exhausted
plus i still have to list more on etsy
i dont know how to make it easier
but i am getting a fancy new phone in less than two weeks so maybe if i am online almost constantly, or simultaneously online and sewing, i can accomplish at least most of what i want to...i cant imagine how much my head will hurt then!

Mar. 25th, 2009 @ 09:07 am about to go camping again
this week has been full of more mixed emotions than any ever...truly...and i guess i mean week as in the past seven days....saw ani and made a great dress...i was hoping to wear it this weekend too, but it is highly flammable....hmmm but she was so happy and so at peace and yep you know i am still carrying my weight...it seems i have so much to work thru still it is scary...and corey loved the show, but i didnt love him to much that night...but then things got better, i guess i had a hormone swing and i was like puppy love all over again for days....and then the bubble bursted hehe and well, i dont know how to reconcile all these feelings...and i dont know how to not want to stab a mans eye out hehe 'what can i say i am wired that way' ???
going camping with the two men that i do love ('pardon my periodic alarm') this weekend and working my ass off, so i think i can find some peace there...
hey joan i am having a 420 party in spring grove this 4:20....bands and food and fun, wanna come :)??

Mar. 16th, 2009 @ 02:26 pm my back aches
from trying to figure out these sewing machines...a tiny serger from vermont and my project runway edition brother machine that is my late christmas present...it looks like a dream but after working with this serger all morning i think it may be a pain in the arse....
oh well, four days till ani and i cannot wait! steph did you here about the madison show with dar and the indigo girls --?? you need to go for me! and ani is playing rothbury in michigan, i cant believe it
i have had a rough week working and trying to sleep and working, but i think i am making progress in at least some parts of my life :)
peace

Mar. 3rd, 2009 @ 05:35 pm what a weird day
i have done close to nothing and even cryed a bit...well more than a bit, but its just so weird how exhausted and tired i can be and how much i need to keep going and going and going
so i feel horribly guilty right now, but i guess just reading is doing something
start work for taylor this weekend and i am excited, but exhausted and stressed with the work of my existence...like when do i slow down and just be and plant plants just to watch them grow ??
oh my my...
i get to see mufyn and the ocean this weekend so i am getting happy :)

oh my....

Feb. 18th, 2009 @ 07:28 pm so i can lock you up and keep you passified
i have some weird lady singer cds and i just love them
but deb hasnt heard the womens rights movement bitch and animal song "gloria steinam??" does anyone know what i am talking about ??
i have too many projects and too little time and then i sit and pluck away at this damn electronic whatchagiggy...
i took sinus medicine last night for this cold i have and i had the weirdest longest dream ever, river had a record for sale at borders what ?? and all corey could say was "i wasnt in it ?"
what what what what what did you think you were doing
where where where where where did you think this would go
when when when when when you showed up on my radar
where where where where where did you think you would show

ani slips out ever once and a while
but i am ok really, just hitting walls of dissillusionment and struggling thru the self inflicted pain of my life
my mom started in on the baby crap with me today to - i mean really, do you need to keep asking ??
gotta say i dont want to have a boy - new nephew from red, new nephew from todd, and my cousin is even having a boy...better wait until it is lady time (and i have health insurance)

Feb. 9th, 2009 @ 10:23 pm writing is difficult
with a sliced thumb - but it is my left one so typing is hard and the rest of it is not, so i am about to try to write some more letters this evening...i am exhausted but had a pretty rest ful day today
no naps or anything
and only a bit of sewing
just lots of typing and it is not good for the sliced thumb so i am going to stop
it was just a hula hooping creative accident and i will be fine, but i am not going to the hospital tee hee hope it didnt need stitches :)
About this Entry
Feb. 2nd, 2009 @ 11:40 am i never get a moment
to write in this journal let alone any other, but i totally love it as a creative outlet, even if it is just words on a page
i am in a great mood after a day of rest yesterday :) and overeating, ya know the boys had a super bowl party. i am about to clip some rosemary and say some words for imbolc, and then work on getting this life on track and for real! i have so much going on and so many places i want to go, data i want to collect and secure :) but it is hard to take a breathe and focus on the ins and the outs of everything that needs done, and more...but mercury is out of retrograde, i am off the rag, and life just has to move and be good this week
i did sew like 3 swirls plus some other random skirts last week, and i hope to sew the pipe pouches for the spring grove pa store this week, get them out of my life...and also get these new headbands i have been wanting to make for like 3 years into my life!!
i am pretty excited about the summer, and spending it with taylor... obviously i have always loved working with corey :)
but hey, i think i go to arkansas instead of milwaukee the first week of june this year! no fair! but also a state i have never been too...either way i still need to make it for summer solstice in milwaukee, and i can only hope bonarroo does not make me sick this year!
AH!
thats all i got for now, but can you tell i am still alll over the place!?

Jan. 22nd, 2009 @ 10:15 am too cold for produce
so we are waiting inside around a fire for the produce and veggies in the garden to defrost..literally. i cannot believe the duration of cold during the evening, and the garden is definatly going to look different today
it has been too cold for me to sew in my non heated trailor - i have a great sewing station in the back bedroom, and have been cutting out swirly panels with dull scissors for days now. i want to sew them so badly, but it is so hard to work when it is cold. i dont know how you do it in milwaukee kids, but with heated seats i bet i could live too :) as i said to my mufyn in miami with her new volvo (`89) with Heated Seats...i dont have heat in my van, let alone in my seats teehee
i have been trying very hard to jump on top of my life so far this year. i am not completely dissappointed, but i do have quite the amount of work to do yet. i think mercury might have something to do with my inability to comprehend crochet, and why i havent started soap (or kefir) yet.... come on the 31st
how about those phili eagles tho' they tried so hard right ??
miss all my lovely friends out there and wish some of them would call me, which reminds me that i do have 2 voicemails to check...better get it on....

Jan. 9th, 2009 @ 04:09 pm i really should be
tracing and cutting swirly panels. if i could make a ridiculous amount of skirts, i wouldnt have to do anything else, and i know this, but i never seem to have enough skirts...weird. but i do have some fun material to work with and i am excited about it, but of course my black and decker power scissors have run dull and i dont know how to make it sharp again teehee
but also, i am trying to crochet but quite frankly i dont get it...going to watch a you tube about it next i guess...
today was a fun day of picking produce and playing debbie as she is out of town visiting her sister
cant wait to go to the markets this weekend though, hopefully i will sell some of these hot skirts i have! HA!
