Got my big order of parts in today.

Got my big order of parts in today.  Woo.  To everyone who was waiting on that so I could make you something:  We'll get it done right after Oxfordfest - I PROMISE.  I just need to survive that and then I can slow down and take care of everything / everyone I've neglected.

I have worked on jewelry this evening until my hands hurt.  I am so unbelievably sleepy and I promised Shaun that I would sleep.  So, I am done for the night and heading to bed.  I hope you all are doing well.  My whole day sucked totally.  It's time to put this day out of its misery.  Goodnight.  ❤

Heading to work.

Heading to work.  Yes, this late.  I think stress levels have reached critical over here.  I'm not a very functional person at the moment.  Months of working so hard (making stuff, photographing stuff, editing photos, making words and putting them online, keeping up with what I have and don't have, what I need, what I need to do, etc. - there is SO MUCH that goes into this!) - and OxfordFest is so close... and I feel like I just can't even.

I don't think I've been this petrified since I bottle-raised 4 puppies from a week of age.  That was like having 4 infants who kept you up all night, who then turned into toddlers who pooped in the floor and then smeared it on your walls.  I remember not even being able to go in my house on my birthday that year.  I just couldn't make myself do it.  I fell asleep in my car in my yard because I just couldn't do anything else.

And that is kind of how I feel right now.  Except that I probably couldn't sleep even if I wanted to.  🙁

Wish me luck, y'all.  I just need to survive the week.  ❤

Hey friends:

Hey friends:  I probably just invited an ass ton of you to OxfordFest.  I know that some of you may not be local (or that some of you may be injured - sorry Emily - it felt wrong not to invite you! ❤), so it's totally understandable if you can't make it.  If you know someone who would be interested in what I'm doing, please invite them for me.

I have only done smaller craft shows, so I have NO IDEA what to expect at Oxfordfest.  I feel like a lot more of the crowd who will be into what I am doing will be there, so maybe it will be awesome, but I don't know.  I have been a bundle of nerves and stress with all of this "trying to be prepared" stuff, so it would be great to just SEE some familiar faces in the crowd.  You really don't have to buy my stuff.  I just want to look at you.  LOL

❤❤❤

Go check out my new look...

Go check out my new look at Polish All the Things. I am so excited! 😃

Anyone coming to the Chili Cookoff on Cheaha?

Anyone coming to the Chili Cookoff on Cheaha?  I'll be there with my mom and brother.

I'm up wayyy too early on a weekend.  And I was up late last night, too.  I started about 10 necklaces earlier this week and I was going to finish them up last night and have them ready for today, but they are COMPLETELY ruined.  It was a new thing I was trying and I failed miserably.  LOL  No worries - I will get it right and you will see them soon.  Hopefully I can get something done this weekend.  That was just such a huge bummer.  😕

Anyway, heading out!

I know these photos are kind of shady, but...

I know these photos are kind of shady, but they were the best I could get to show the glow in this textured polish.  I really need to brush up on photography.  LOL

Got off work, went outside, guy ran my direction with a chainsaw.

Got off work, went outside, guy ran my direction with a chainsaw.  Just an average day in Downtown Oxford when you work next to The Terrortorium.  😃
