Unexpected Rough Times

Accomplishments, Business, personal paintings, To do lists, , , , , , , ,

Hello and Welcome to this weeks post(s). If you have been wondering where I have been these last few days an unexpected rough patch came for me here at Colorful Dimensions 1014. I can not discuss the matter too much. I’m okay, four legged friends are okay, spouse is okay, and business is okay. I do want to mention that when these rough times do come along, it’s really hard to pick one self up and run a business. It’s hard to be on top of everything when your world just crashes. I gave my self permission to grieve for a few days but decided it wasn’t going to bring me down so far that I lose interest in my followers and my business.

I took part of my time to paint another canvas (Dollar General). It’s just a simple canvas and my craft room needed one more add to make it more me. I really liked the saying when I first bought the canvas. However this week the phrase made the meaning, different. I’m not so sure I want it on my wall. I wasn’t even certain I wanted to paint it. It took some convincing for myself to even paint it.

I decided that I will go ahead and paint it. Follow thru with the original plan and see where it leads. It took me roughly two days to paint it. It’s all done now. All water base acrylic used this time and one micro (black) pen. I also went a little wild by adding some stickles glitter. I’m tempted to add some (gold) deco foil. What do you think? See below before and after pictures without the gold deco foil. In some ways it turned out nice and in another makes me ask myself what I was thinking with the background.

Before

What are your thoughts. See below the finish version and hanging as we speak.

Finished
A touch of glitter (stickles)

On to another subject: This became a good time to clean this part of the craft room. It needed it bad. All paper and fabric flowers into one drawer. Buttons into one glass bin. Super long tablets found a drawer that is long enough to handle it. All unnecessary items found a temporary home outside of the craft room. Some items are going to go live with someone else and some will be donated. My point is this, don’t let a bad week take you down so far that you no longer want to function but rather turn the bad into a positive. Clean something, organize something, paint, draw, or do what ever it takes to get your mind off the problem. Grieve yes! Wallow in in it no.

Happy Memorial Day weekend for those of you who celebrate the holiday. Happy weekend for those that don’t. I had to take a short break from typing, lifting stuff, writing, stretching and pretty much any thing that involved moving muscles after being injected. Few days after I’m almost back to my normal self. Nearly caught up on everyday living stuff and sitting down to do some research. I have found the answer I was looking for. Here it is: Posting everyday on Word Press. In my reality I’m not so certain I can come up with something to say every single day. So that means I’m going to have to come up with a plan to have things lined up to talk about. I am curious as to how many bloggers actually plan out ahead of time what they are going to talk about? How many bloggers use prompts? Maybe when I get going further down the road I’ll throw in a few craft projects.

HAVING A PRODUCTIVE DAY

Accomplishments, Business, To do lists, Uncategorized, , , , , , ,

4/22/2021 Today has been a very productive day. Linking emails accounts together to linking websites together. I can’t even begin to tell you all that I had to do as its all a blur. A lot of what I had to do I don’t understand it.

5/9/2021 Update I wanted to update this post as it had no title. Plus I also noticed that my last sentence makes absolutely no sense. Basically, in a nut shell, I wanted to say that I had been linking Word Press to Wix then to face book then to you tube, etc. I’m sure some of you get the gist. For us newbies this is not a easy task and rather complicated. So its a big deal when it gets accomplished. I can say that today, a lot has changed since last month and I do say I need to give myself a pat on the back. I think we can all agree that we all need to give ourselves a pat on the back when we accomplish something that we thought would be impossible to do. You can see that I have improved a lot but I know I still have room to improve and I still have a lot more to learn. I’m not going to say that where my road is taking me is impossible. I will say I have a lot of ruts in the road and staying on a straight path is proving to be hard. I have recently learned just what a Editorial Calendar is. First time I ever heard of one or I had forgotten from my junior high days in Journalism what is (School newspaper). So this is where I am at in my Journey. If your wondering what it is? It’s basically where you put your ideas that you wish to talk about but its put in calendar format so that you have a deadline to get the project at hand done. Different from a every day calendar. If you are wanting to know more just type in Editorial Calendar in your search bar.

Don’t feel Defeated by Machines

I want to say that I really didn’t want to miss you all but the last few days have been a bit of a whirl wind. I have been anxiously awaiting for a new printer. It finally arrived while I had to go to town for a appointment. While this is not about my appointment or about the date I had with my spouse. I want to just say it was a nice day and it felt good to be out of the house after several months of being cooped in. It felt good to have the sun warm my soul. Needless to say, we were in town all day. (to ourselves with masks on when needed.) By the time we got home we were to wore out. The only thing that I had enough energy for was to open the packages that came in the mail. A nice pretty purple, simple printer. Lightweight and moveable. Unlike the big one we have that is heavy, a pain to run, died a few years ago and its currently not liking me at all. When I reflected back on yesterday, it has occurred to me that I really missed watching people, the smell of the mills, the sounds of the cars, the flowers, the business of the people going into stores, the trees (flowering type) and just so much more.

Today, I thought I would be brave and plug that cute, new, printer in. Um, No instructions, No software, and this could not be a good sign. Well, I got this.. right… Plug cords in and turn on.. Oh got to put the ink in. Shut off and put the ink in. Turn back on. Run up the stairs to grab the paper. Lets see if this little baby is going to work. So much excitement just got deflated when I see these flashing lights….. no paper going thru. Whyyyyy?? Whyyyy me??? This voice says stop and check everything. Cords are plugged in, the ink cartridges are in, button is on. I know change the paper. Maybe it don’t like the paper. Run back upstairs and find different paper. Tried that and nope that didn’t work either. Hmm well, there is another cord and lets hook up the computer and lets try some trouble shooting. Well I found out that HP is doing away with paper instructions. Nice to know! Ha! Yes, found software. Downloaded and went thru all the appropriate steps. Well, that still didn’t solve the problem. HP had me download an update on the software that I just downloaded. Can you believe that? But low and behold it told me that something was jammed in the printer. Really!!! Yep, that smart little cookie printer was right. I pulled out this piece that made me want to panic as I thought oh boy, this thing must have got broken on its trip here. Luckily, I did send an item from my computer to the printer. I wish you all could see how I excited I am over this sweet little printer. I’ve been printing everything that is important that’s been on my computer for sometime. Mostly one pagers, or two. But I have some biggies that are going to take a lot of ink. I’m a bit stingy with my ink for the moment until I can order more ink. Anyway, I just want to say here this has been a long but eventful day. (my computer has been complaining that it has a full memory) I’ve been dumping files where ever I can. You tube videos take a lot of memory. I do hope that I can get back to my favorite pass time soon. The next couple of weeks is going to be extremely busy. There is still a lot to learn, do, and not do. My point for this post is this. If, you get a new machine. Don’t let it defeat you. Don’t be afraid of it. There is always a solution somewhere. When you beat it, give your self a pat on the back. You deserve and earned it.

Cute little purple printer. Blue tape was replaced after use so our four legged friends wouldn’t break the plastic parts.

I have gone thru a whole week retrospectively happy reading e-mails, checking (FB), play on Instagram, checking Redbubble saving YouTube for last. Scrolling thru the videos to see which one I want to watch first. I stopped short reading a tittle “I’m ready to Quit!”. I was stunned. Here somebody I adore and I wanted to scream at her “Oh No u don’t!”. I didn’t get all the way thru the video. I was compelled to contact her. I let her know how I felt and that she is loved.

The next day she posted another video completely different head line. She had explained how other people’s words meant to her besides mine. (The outpouring was a blessing) Sometimes we just need to connect to that one person to make a world of difference.

My point is this, please be kind to yourself and to others. ( to help protect her privacy and her family I conveniently left out her name) ( this is in response to answer assignment 11. Prompts) https://www.dailypost.Wordpress.com

Using what you have or improvise

I recently read a word press post on a New Years Card. Beautiful Card! Reading the description she explained she had stamps for this particular season and she had misplaced them. Instead of spending time looking for them she improvised by finding what she needed right from her computer. My point is this: not everything has be made with stamps or dies. Just as cleaver embellishments are made from what is available at hand. I think that it makes the card all that more special. I also want to point out that this is part of a assignment for word press (day 9). I also want to add that I’m slightly impatient as these classes or assignments need to move a tad bit faster for me.. sooooo I’m doing my best to add buttons.

The Journey Begins

Thankyou for joining me!

Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter. — Izaak Walton

post

I started on my blogging journey sometime ago. This is an updated version of the journey I’m currently on. I never dreamed that I would be blogging. I’m more of the person who listens to other peoples stories. I’m the quiet one. I don’t entertain. I’d rather be entertained. However, things change. I have changed and decided that I need to do something that I thought about years ago but never had the chance to or like I said above, I never thought Id be blogging. Hope you enjoy and if you have any tips and tricks let me know. Thanks in advance.

Update

16 September 2021 is a day of reflection and to take notice of how far I have traveled in this journey. I would have not gotten this far without all of you who are here with me to encouraging me along and my higher creator. My hopes is to continue to bring you forward along with me on this journey and see where it takes me in the future. The more I learn will always be applied to the stories so stay tuned to the ever changing journey. You may find amusement in reading the article titled Assignment 2. This is when I felt that I needed to learn a few things. As of today I can say that I still have not learned everything about blogging. I can tell you that blogging is very complex yet so simple. If you plan on following along in my foot steps or someone else you admire… don’t quit your job… you need the $$ to get started and its an on going $$ take away due to the legal side of things. I’m not going to go into great detail about blogging here as it would take to long and there is so many blogging materials out there already. I recommend that you just start reading and take a lot of notes.. think of this as a marriage… its for life especially when you invest what you have into blogging. There have been a few times where I really questioned myself if I was doing the right thing. My response to the that last sentence is “Yes, I am.” Something keeps me moving forward. With that said, I do wish you luck and I will always offer my support to any person brave enough to embark on this journey.

2021 Upcoming Holidays

I’m so excited that Halloween is soon up on us. I’m more for the cute side of Halloween stuff. I’m a zero fan of the scary side of Halloween. This Halloween I’m hoping to add to my Halloween art collection by adding a Halloween banner to the stash. There is so much I want to accomplish for Halloween that I’m uncertain that I will get it all done. For each Project completed I will give you an update from the beginning to the end.

Even more exciting is that Thanksgiving is also close by. That means planning now to ensure that the home is on its way to be in ship shape for anticipated company. Planning a head also insures that Thanksgiving dinner supplies will be on the ta do list. Now is the time to try that new recipe before the big day. We don’t want to forget to think of all the things that we are thankful for and the awesome Parade. I don’t know about you but I have to see the parade. Don’t forget to add the fall candles to your shopping list. Don’t you just love the smells of cinnamon and pumpkin? What are your thoughts on Fall and Thanksgiving Day crafts? I’m anxious to get started on Fall and Thanksgiving crafts.

Planning now also ensures that Christmas list shopping. Feeling overwhelmed yet?? Ha, ha.. Start planning now helps keep the anxiety at bay. Starting a Christmas shopping list for gifts for each person will help you get a head start on the shopping. Don’t forget to start the shopping list for the Christmas Eve and Christmas meals. Find those recipes that you wanted to do last year and do them now, before the holiday arrives. After all we don’t want to serve something that ends up less than appealing on the very day. Now is also the time to think of you Holiday color scheme or theme. What about those Christmas Crafts that you want to work on? Now is also the time to start working on those as well. If you are like me… I’m already feeling overwhelmed just the thought of it all. I know that having lists will help keep me on the calmer side of things.

Have you given much thought to what you want to do for New Years eve or New Years Day? What about Your New Years resolution? I will admit I haven’t made it this far either. I Look forward to the Year 2022. Perhaps, you have decluttering the craft room in mind. If so you may want to take a look at 5 Craft Room Declutter Ideas or maybe you will want to further your education or brush up on skills. To give you some inspiration you maybe interested in these posts to read Assignment 2, Kindness save’s a friend, and Those annoying things you avoid!.

I want to point out that you don’t want to forget the Birthday’s throughout these upcoming months. For all who have a birthday in these coming months— I want to wish you now a “Happy Birthday!” Do you have any Birthday crafts in mind to make during the upcoming holiday season? I do! I will share at a later time in the meantime maybe you would be interested in Using what you have or improvise.
