I finally finished my 3d spider tutorial today. He is not posted yet but will be over at 3d beading soon. This has been a long time in the making and I am glad to start my new year off without this "monkey" on my back.
The next thing I managed to do is to get a couple items up for sale on my website
This has also been a long time in the making. I thought designing the site would kick me into high gear to start selling things but I forgot about Christmas so that pushed everything back on my site.
The last thing I did was make my new year's resolution, well I am doing that now so here goes.
1. No more starting something unless I plan on finishing it. I have enough unfinished things to keep me busy for 3 lifetimes.
2. I am going to stop saying yes to everything that is asked of me and start only saying yes to the things I want to do and that make me happy.
3. I am gonna remember that it is ok for me to put my needs first and that is something I haven't done in a long time.
4. I am gonna relax a little and have more fun.
Ok I think that does it for me. Simple, easy and things I should be doing anyway right? I have a feeling this is going to be a much better year and I can't wait!
Happy New Year's to everyone!

Busy busy busy and a happy announcement
Ok I have not gotten much beading done over the weekend. I did have some computer issues, my cd/dvd drive is no longer working and since my warranty is up in like two weeks, the computer went in to get fixed. They sent me home with a loaner so Yay I am still online. I just finished installing the software I can't live without. AVG antivirus, open office suite, inkscape and first and foremost, firefox cuz IE is yuck yuck yuck, lol. I know its all in my perception. Now that I am back up and running, I have a happy announcement to make.
My wonderful dear friend Allegra has asked me to be a moderator for her site, www.3dbeading.com I am totally stoked to be able to be a part of her site (and I know my links aren't working here but the link is 2nd on my favorite sites to your right). I found her site earlier this year and have been glued to it ever since. Even better, she has become a great friend! I also created my own 3d spider which I will be writing a tutorial for to post there.
The second neat thing is that I got my yes we did Obama bumper sticker in the mail today so I can finally make the Obama ornament featured here ( http://margotpottertheimpatientcrafter.blogspot.com/2008/12/impatient-crafter-free-holiday-craft.html ) I know bad links but cut and paste people! Plus you can get your own vinyl sicker at MoveOn.org.
I will keep you updated to when my spider tutorial is up but in the mean time, here is a sneak peek at what he looks like.
