I would like to tell you that I have been up to my eyeballs in a beading frenzy.
But that's not true.
I would like to tell you I have been designing new exciting patterns that will blow you away.
That's not true either.
I would like to tell you that I went away to some exotic place on the spur of the moment.
I am not a good liar.
I would love to tell you that I have been so busy with things that just thrill me and take me away from the everyday stuff that I just had no time to be here, or even with my beads.
I am not a good story teller.
So what the hell have I been doing?
The Copyright thing I wrote about in the past few posts is still not resolved. I am hoping that it will be within a few days. If not, then I will need to step it up a notch. But at this time, I cannot tell you the progress, or lack thereof for reasons I might tell you later....
The while thing leaves me feeling really depressed.
Which is why I have gone into my cave. Hiding... I do not like to write when I am feeling badly about things. Sure, I write a lot of rants, but most are for the sake of entertainment, as they are exaggerated to some degree just for that. There is fun to be had in spouting off, and in making fun, in my evil manner of those things that make me twisted like a dreadlock.
Add to that...this so and so who wanted me to make a pattern for her. There were no specifics other than the subject and that it was to be an amulet. She said no matter what, she would be sure to love what I created. It turned out well. I was really pleased with the outcome. She even said she loved it. But decided not to buy it. Gee....like I have nothing better to do than make a pattern for someone for nothing? I am sorry, but I think that is FREAKING RUDE!!!
Ok...so not wanting to look at a bead, or create a design...or even write on this blog, I threw myself in the closet. Literally.

| My Messy Closet, with half the stuff off the shelf |
| 3 bags and a box full of stuff to go to Goodwill |
The good thing is that I rediscovered my "Skinny" clothes (not that I am ever skinny by any stretch of the imagination) and they FIT!! YAY!!! It was like going on a shopping spree and not spending a darn cent.
Hopefully I will get back into my usual positive (although tainted) spirit soon! I have had enough of the bullshit!


I'll take whatever stray gems you want to throw my way via your blog. I enjoy reading as it's sort of like the unexpected nightlight in the dark hallway.
ReplyDeleteGlad you came out of the closet, even for a brief moment! :) Wish I could find some skinny clothes that fit in mine! Anyway, as bad as this whole copyright thing is, and I'm sure it is very bad, remember we need your personality back in blogland! I love reading your opinions and rants, keeping life real. Keep haning in there, ok?
ReplyDeleteNice to have you check in and let us know what's up with you. Hoping for a good resolution, sooner rather then later.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you are OK - I was beginning to get worried. We're all entitled to take time away and do other things on occassion, but I'm glad you're back and that things are beginning to be resolved with the copyright situation.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you came up for air! I missed you! Sorry the situation is not resolved and maybe it never will be, let it go for now. I know it's hard to see your patterns being sold and not by you, you worked so hard on them. Don't worry, bead happy!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog today. It's a shame that some folks are liars. Congrats on getting into thinner clothes.

I thought you'd been kidnapped by Russ and Brenda!I'm familiar with "that" mood and hope that it passes soon. Have you posted the pattern that the b**** didn't buy? Maybe one of your loyal friends/beading sisters will be interested. Oh, can I have your old 'Un-skinny' clothes? ;>)
ReplyDeleteIt's so good to see you up and at em! I was getting worried and am so happy you are well. We all get in funks, but I do think your closet cleaning is good for the soul. And skinny clothes to boot. I wrote on your blog yesterday to let you know a lot of people love you and look forward to hearing what you are up to. So would like to think I am the one who got you to posting again. Please take good care, L. Craig.
ReplyDeleteHang in there! I am keeping a great resolution to your rude copyright infringement trouble in my mind, with lots of bright white energy around it. Glad to hear from you!
ReplyDeleteWelcome Back to the blog, Sig. I'm glad there is something you can smile during this time. Keep blogging (even ranting) because the truth is we love reading your blog :)
