Did the Farmer's Market in Anniston this morning.  For whatever reason, it's easier for me to not sleep than to get up that early.  It's not as though I didn't have a ton to do to get ready, anyway.  Had to put all of my stuff on cards and make sure it was all tagged and priced.

So, I made $50 today.  I gave out a lot of little flyers and business cards, so maybe that will get some more interest.  I also met some cool people, so that's always nice.

I am completely wiped out.  Though we had an umbrella and I stayed mostly in the shade with my long sleeves and long pants on, I feel the sun sickness hitting me pretty hard.  Aside from that I'm tired from not sleeping, so I'm heading to bed.

I have a bunch of jewelry that y'all haven't seen yet.  I'll put up photos when I wake up.

I'm a month ahead...

I'm a month ahead on knowing what I'm getting Shaun for his birthday. 😃

I'm off to wash some dishes and some lizards.

I'm off to wash some dishes and some lizards.  But not together at the same time.  😃❤

Gradient with stripes.

Gradient with stripes.  Not very summer-y, but I do what I want.  This is something I've wanted to try for a while now.  🙂

Hmm. My dad texted me just now...

Hmm. My dad texted me just now and let me know that Orange's mama had another kitten this morning. She has cleaned, nursed, and hidden this one. I hope she'll continue taking care of it.

I've never heard of a cat having a few kittens at a time. Maybe Orange and his other sibling were a week premature. Has anyone heard of that before?

Probably my last post of the day.

Probably my last post of the day.  I just wanted to put these up before I changed my mind again.  I did them a few days ago and almost didn't post them because they aren't perfect and I could do better.  But now that I've worn them for days, I don't really want to do it over because I'm ready for something different.  LOL

My striping tape was picking up a little with all the sponging I was doing, so some of the lines aren't 100% straight.  And yes, that bugs me.  I am pretty critical of my work and a bit of a perfectionist, so I notice these things.

HOWEVER, the gradient looks really nice to me, so that's good.  I only used a light blue and the reddish coral.  The purple area came from the two colors mixing, so this is a technique I feel like I'm FINALLY getting the hang of.  😃

I am having a hard time finding motivation to do things today, but...

I am having a hard time finding motivation to do things today, but I did get some stuff done yesterday and Friday.

I cleaned the dogs' room and changed the house filter, cleaned out my roach tote and picked some feeders out of there for my lizards, added an extra shelf to my bed / desk / dresser thing, and set up a drip system for my horned lizards so I can HOPEFULLY stop spending so much time dribbling on their heads.  Don't get me wrong - I LOVE spending time taking care of my animals, but half the time Koopa and his friend (who I still need to name - suggestions welcome!) run away when I try to water them.  I think it would be better for all of us if they could drink when they felt like it and not just when I have time to chase them down with a dropper.

That probably doesn't sound like a whole lot, but those are things that have been bugging me that I've needed to do for a while, so knocking them out made me feel accomplished.  I STILL need to do my hall trim and deal with the grass.  At least one of those things is happening today.  Since it just started raining I'm guessing it's gonna be the hall.  That's ok.  I super hate cutting grass, anyway.  😛

I feel like with having a house there are always a million projects that need to be done, but at the moment I feel like I'm closing in on having a lot of the smaller stuff done.  Most everything else I'm gonna need a chunk of money for, so that will have to wait.  🙁

On the bright side I feel like I am SO in love with my bedroom.  😃  Having the new floor down and the loft bed changed EVERYTHING.  I know it sounds silly, but it doesn't bother me that if I lean left when going up or down the ladder I'll get hit in the head and / or ass by my ceiling fan.  It's not a big deal to me - I just don't lean left.  I will admit that I find it hilarious to watch Shaun's face when he's tucking me in.  He always cringes like he thinks I'm about to get hit.  LOL  But I do this every night.  I almost never get whacked with the fan anymore.  😃

There is so much more space now and everything is a lot more organized.  It's a little quirky, but I think that's what makes it perfect.  😃  It's my funny beautiful happy place.  ❤
