Finally!

Yay!!  I was finally able to get my design into Cafepress.  It WAS a browser thing after all.  I don't know about me and technology.  It seems to have it out for me.  Anyways, I was able to create one of those sticky note cubes and it came out sort of cute.  Of course, I have to give it time to "bake" and then see how I feel about it.

Weekend Update

Today is the first Saturday of the month which means I went out to a certain hardware store for a monthly activity my son has been going to since he turned one month.  Once home, I didn’t do any actual work but I took another look at what I’ve made so far for Ínarú.  I realized I don’t like the glaze.  I don’t want them matte exactly, but the glaze is too much.  I’ll probably just machine buff them.  I also am rethinking the newspaper tree silhouette.  I also want to redo the ring bands.  On the carved stone ring it’s a little wobbly and on the “kryptonite” ring it’s too wide for my taste.  (When my partner first saw it he asked if it was kryptonite.  It wasn’t meant to be so, but for the moment that’s how I’m referring to it).  Other than that, I just have to string them and they should be set to go.  After, I plan to start on the other pieces I designed.  They are a little more difficult for me as I haven't really thought about how to make them, but with my printer working, I think I can actually make them.  Fingers crossed.

New Fairy & WIPs

I finally gave my brunette fairies a background: a simple one so as to not distract from them.  I wanted to add them to Cafepress, but for some reason I am having trouble with their designer.  At first I thought it was my browser, but I tried with a different one and it just keeps freezing up on me.  I still want to stay with Zazzle, but I noticed Cafepress offers a lot of items so I want to try out with them also.  But, if I keep having the same problem, I’m not going to even bother anymore.  I’m going to give it one more try.  As I mentioned before, besides this digital design thing I like to do, I also like working with my hands.  Jewelry-making is one of the things I’ve been doing for a while.  (I think I may have mentioned it in one of the older posts from when I REALLY tried doing this thing.)

Here We Go Again

That bundle of joy wasn’t so easy after all…at least, not in the beginning.  But I don’t call it “giving up”…I call it “putting things on pause”.

After a very, VERY long time I've decided to try and continue blogging.  It's hard, but I really want to take some time from my day to do it.  I would love NE-Things to finally be established more than what I've done as far as graphic design (that still makes me giggle) and making myself take out some time from each day is a good way to start.  It's a little hard with a bundle of joy that seems to ADORE his mommy, but I believe I can do it.  A little while ago, I had some conversations with a couple of friends that showed me they believed I could do it, too.
