My last day at work was yesterday. Well, technically, it wasn't really my last day. I'm going extreme part time, meaning when the manager needs me for an emergancy that she has to have someone cover the paperwork for her, once or twice a month when she needs a day off type thing. means my time is still mine, but that I can have abit of spare money coming in every so often.
Melanie Rawn finally released/published a new book. Not 'The Captal's Tower' like I've been patiently waiting for, for nearly 7 years, but a completely different style of book. 'Spellbinder' is a good book, nonetheless. And her reasons for it having been so long since she's written/been published are very eye opening.
Clinical Depression.
Yup, she got so bad, she had to get help. She literally could not write. So this new book is a form of therapy for her. And she does an awesome job with it. Just got it yesterday and I'm on chapter 7 already. And these are relatively long chapters.
Here's hoping she gets back to 'The Captal's Tower' soon though, I miss the Ruins of Ambrai series.}:P
Found out today that I am no longer a qualified member of Etsy Dark Art. In fact, Etsy Dark Art doesn't exist anymore. It's now 'Spirit of Dark Art'.
There's a whole list of criteria that you have to meet with your shop. Most of which I have no issues with, I can come up with at least 12 items of Dark Art orientation. I have no issues with promoting the group or the website, etc. Handing out postcards, including them with my items, that sort of thing. Because it's all behind the scenes type stuffs.
It's the $10.00 entrance fee, which is fine in and of itself, honestly, and then the $5.00 a month fee for advertising funds. And writing articles for the website. Hel, I have enough trouble articulating myself properly within my own blog, let alone writing something for a website that thousands may or may not see.
I emailed Ahna back and told her to let me get my shop sorted out and back up to speed first, then we'll go from there. Right now, I just don't know... I feel so out of my league when looking at the things the members have made.
So I guess we'll see what happens.
Right now I have two dye schemes for silk scarves in a shibori pattern floating in my head and a few beadwork pieces that need finishing up and listed. As well as the photos of the Quilt Show pieces to upload, tweak and post. Tomorrow, Mark and I are going up to Floyd to pick up that hand quilting frame, if it's still there.
Oh and my hair to bleach and dye. Purple.
