I haven’t been crafting again as I’ve been busy with other things:

• Feng Shui prosperity journal (I may post this later, depends…)

• Reading many books on various subjects. Finished the sookie stackhouse series, read a few affiliate marketing books which I won’t list because they sucked.  Some time management books (have not finished yet,ha! I suck at managing my time.) , a book about blogging styles – waste of time for the most part but somebody said it was really funny. Seems I have a different idea of funny. I don’t recommend that one either so I’m not listing it. I have many more books to go…I have an on going reading list I will never finish, not in the next 10 life times anyway.

• I’ve been trying to organize our bedroom and craft desk.
• Gardening here and there but not as much as Jeremy has.
• And just other day to day stuff that I don’t need to list because who cares how many times a person does laundry, dishes, water plants, reads, writes, budgets bills, pays bills, grocery shops, talks to long distance family and friends, and so on.

My point is, crafting will comence SOON. ( I have to go to PA for 9 days from June 22nd to the 3oth.)

I have a few projects I’m very excited to work on. I can’t say what they are exactly as a few of them are gifts for Jeremy and family members but… some are polymer clay. Which I’ve been dying to get back into but I always feel I should be doing something more “important” around the house.

I’ll have some felt projects coming up too but they will also be christmas gifts for friends and family.

One of the gifts is already know about, a polymer clay INUYASHA incense burner for Jeremy’s brother. I’ll take pictures or videos of that at various stages and post about it. It will be a time consuming (and clay consuming) project but I’m very attached to that project as I’m an Inuyasha fan and it was my idea. That means I think it’s going to be swell but will turn out like shit ; ) I’m hoping I’m wrong, of course, but I’m not very good at polymer clay yet.

The other project I’m terribly excited about is a Halloween tree. Jeremy and I are not fans of Christmas. (We celebrate Christmas for our family. Or shall I say participate. It makes the family happy to receive gifts and cards and so we oblige. Doesn’t matter. We take it or leave it. For me, it holds no meaning whatsoever, but its ’special’ to our families and we respect that.) Now Halloween is our holiday of glee and passion! Everyday of the year is just a step closer to Halloween. We have our traditions. We also have a real black tree, decorate it, do baking, drinking, presents, and just have fun in good ol’ cheerful doom and gloom fashion. What more could you ask for? (Halloween is also the time we spend too much money on Halloween goodies at the stores. Halloween is pretty much the only time we really shop for anything. Its really the only time we find items similar to our tastes.)

This year I’m taking one of our traditions a step further. I’m going to hand make the tree and all the ornaments. Table topped size all out of polymer clay or mixed media real tree with clay. Not sure yet. To have it done in time I should have started last halloween but we’ll see how far I get. I have ideas for about 50 ornaments so far but I add to that list every week.  Cats, bat, skull, and all the usual. Katamari, helena bonham carter, repo the genetic opera, rocky horror, cigarettes, E.A.Poe, Rasputina, and other stuff. As I finish pieces I’ll make a serial post for them. (Meaning Part 1, part 2, etc.)

I’m really tired at the moment and rambled like mad. I think this post is all over the place…. I wonder if I lost anybody in the jumble of words?!
