I've missed two instructables contests that I could have rocked.  There's one going now that I could come up with something good for except that things are so busy in my life right now and the prizes are bike-related (and I really hate bike riding.  A LOT.)  You should go enter, though, because instructables rules.

I have, however, been working on some actual paintings.  It had been much too long, and I love it so much.  I'll be hunting down a few very specific supplies tomorrow but after that I might have finished work in a matter of days.  I'll post here as soon as I have something I feel okay about the world seeing.

Other than that I'm restocking the jewelry and rebuilding it's website, working on a new fashion type product, reinventing lampshades and drawing up plans for flatpack/near flatpack lighting.  I'm feeling pretty good about life right now, and I really look forward to what I'm working on when I get up in the morning.
