Brain Dead, Blame the Kids

My drawing has finally finished and Necklaces are ready to be shipped! Congrats to Kayla White and Sabra Handy for you new items!

This past week I finally decided to make myself a necklace! What kind of sales person am I when I don't ever make myself something to show off =P It is Fluorite with handmade Clay cap and beads. Linked onto leather. I love the way it turned out. I am definitely having a teal phase. I do need to make some more spring time items soon as well.

The past few days have been quite unsuccessful. I think my mind wants to do so much and has so many ideas that when I actually have time to work it shuts down. Artist Block? I blame the children. You are so used to all the noise and madness going on that when silence finally comes, your brain stops working. Of course with my crazy toddler that rarely happens. I say this as she still keeps getting up from her bed at 10:30 when we put her to bed two hours ago. Story of my life.

Speaking of my toddler. She is 3 to be exact, and I will say she is the MASTER of the terrible 3's. MASTER. She does the throwing the fits, crying, yelling completely ignoring you and purposely doing the opposite that you tell her to do. She thinks doing all of this is absolutely hilarious! I think she enjoys slowly watching my sanity dwindle away day by day. My husband thinks it will get better as she gets older. I on the other hand am convinced it will get worse as she gets older. The older she is the more trouble she can cause. World watch out, Red Rainah is on her way. Fear for my future and I will fear for yours.

Of course after the fits she tells you she loves you, gives you the biggest smile and all is right with the world again. This face is what keeps her alive at times.

These two pictures fit her personality perfect. In the last picture she is sitting with our (23lb!) cat Vincent Price. I told her to smile and this is what she gave me. Yup, Rainah all the way.
