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.

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

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.
