Sad few days with Hexy, and his mother's passing.  Work has taken a back seat - really all of January.  The funeral was yesterday, and today felt like Monday again (it's Thursday)

As much as I told Becky and Megan - I'm happy!  I'm over the grief of last year! It all came rushing back.  So things went in a different direction this past week.

Anyway, back to work today, and made more baby steps.  Finally printed the Huggy Bunny on paper that seemed to be something I just always wanted to put off, but held up screen cleaning and forward momentum on other printing.  Worked out well, especially on the off-white construction paper.  So of course when I went back to print a second batch of extras, I screwed up the registration.  SO TYPICAL!

Went to Home Depot this morning and got wood for commission, but then did nothing with it today.

Working at a snails pace.  That seems to be January.

 deardave,

Today it came in strong > the January blahs!  I finished shirts for Pixies, valentines, postcards, and deadlined commission.  I looked at twitter and FB and all the rest.  I did everything my little brain knows to do to AVOID the work that I've been putting off since Christmas, and then there I was, no distractions, no easy bulky projects, just the stuff that I now HAVE to do, and just don't want to.  Ha - it's a sad and brutal moment!

 

The only way is THROUGH, so I made some microscopic progress forging ahead.  January is always like this.  All I want to do is play and hibernate and PUT OFF.  It's just dumb.  I should just take the whole month off and travel.  Maybe (probably) I just need to recharge and regroup.  Instead, I come into the studio and waste time doing not much, hemming and hawing about all that I have to do.

 

ANYWAY!!  January.  Cold today, but ok weather.  Coming off some fun days with friends, and a terrific massage with Jeff.  All is really good, my mood has been buoyant.  Just today I was struck with getting in gear.

 

Mad that my clings were lost / stolen over the weekend.  Hopefully can get them replaced.  Not so happy with my Rainbow dog version.  Sometimes so frustrated with my design decisions.  I only have myself to blame.  Should have done the cut-out.
