Lydia's Revenge Lydia was fascinated by these crazy flying machines, she couldn't keep her mind on the house work. She'd been working on this motor since everyone left this morning, trying to get done so she could make them dinner on their return. It was only a matter of time now before she could step out to the barn, spread her wings, then step from the roof, confident they will hold her weight, allowing her to soar with the wind. Steampunk Pendant, measures: 2 x 2.5 inches, 24 inch vintage gold colored chain.
I've been reduced to a bag woman
Okay, I'm a professional artist, translation: people are now paying me enough for my art, jewelry and handbags to support myself- but isn't that why I got married>? His money supports us, mine is whatever money or on responsible days~my retirement fund! Even though I have 4 online stores and I work as an art teacher part time, even sell my jewelry wholesale now!!! I am still the maid, cook, chauffeur, care giver, dog walker, poop picker upper!, laundress etc, you can fill in the rest as I'm sure you have your list! Popping a tube of paint is directly causes a "Mary, ..." or the phone rings..."Mom..." or someone stops by because I'm not working, can't be- I'm at home.
I read a great article about creative people, we're disorganized, scattered, etc! No I'm not, I just have to fit it in between the 90 other demands of the day. My husband asked at breakfast why I was soldering on the kitchen counter? Uh, last night they all wanted a big dinner- soldering had to be done, can't I do that while I watch a vat of spaghetti sauce simmer? Made perfect sense to me! I didn't get any flux in the pan!
By working like this I am still able to cook, clean, be healthy in my home-if you don't clean that mold will kill you!...hmmm, wonder what kind of medium I could mix it with to make...I digress. I’m always multi tasking, just moving the art with me. I've become a bag woman! I have great tote bags, saved over the years from every charity, club or wherever they seem to come from, now I have a new GREEN stash of grocery totes to pull into service. All the bags have glue, scissors, thread, needles, yarn, crochet hook, knitting needles and about four ongoing projects. When I leave a room, a bag goes with me, when I go in the car, sometimes two bags go with me. I am never without my projects now. I went on vacation one time and forgot a bag and had to go to the store just so I could have some art supplies with me. I wouldn’t be comfortable otherwise. Now before I go I pack the art supplies a week in advance, my clothes an hour before I leave for the plane. I have my priorities right! Gotta go, which bag will I take with me?
