A while ago I mentioned a workshop I took on Creative Live. It really got me going. Well it didn't get me going quickly, but it got me to redo a lot of things. I LOVED the workshop (it was given by Kari Chapin, btw and if you're interested in reading some of her books you can find those here ) and it took me a while to remodel and rethink, but I'm pretty happy with the results.

Just a quick post on what's going on so far.
Have you heard of CreativeLive? It's a site where you can watch live workshops online with the ability to interact with the instructors. They have workshops in audio, business, design, photography, and more. They had one recently that I wanted to take, but I completely forgot about it. I still had my settings in the wrong time zone and I didn't check my email. I was kind of bummed but then I saw another workshop which I found interesting so I signed for it. The workshop I signed up for is Start a Handmade Business. Kind of made for me, isn't it?

Things have slowed down a bit at NE-Things. I'm reorganizing some rooms at home, revamping an old dresser, and making curtains. Plus I have a curtain rod with ends I don't really like (doesn’t go with the room) so I have to come up with a way to change them. But, I have tried to be a little more active on Twitter. (Following me there yet? LOL)

My father passed away 20 years ago. Today would've been his 67th birthday. There were a lot of things we used to do as a family when he was alive, but when he passed away things changed a little. Things were being done I guess out of habit or because it "had" to be done a certain way. The fun was no longer in it. My dad was a quiet man, but he liked having fun. He was a prankster. One day he came in with blood all over saying he was in an accident. I was worried and my mother started freaking out. He kept it up for quite a bit. On a Halloween I remember there were these girls that came to out door trick or treating. He stood against the open door shirtless with fake blood smeared on his chest. He just looked off into the distance. The girls were my age. They kept their bags open while I threw in candy, but there eyes didn't leave him except for the quick second where they thanked me and step aside for the next girl. All of a sudden, my dad pounces forward while yelling boo. Those poor girls. A couple of them took off leaving their bags behind. The brave ones jumped back and then laughed. First at the prank, then at the girls who ran away. He was awesome.

I have postponed work on Jack & Justine and added the two pieces in Ínarú that I originally sketched but never made. They have similar colors, green being the one they all share. I've also figured out the "ideal" baby nap/mommy work time. If it doesn't happen, it's counted as half an hour chill time and we continue the day until about 2 hours later when baby nap/mommy work time is a must (mostly to avoid a cranky baby). If I can't get work in because of some other reason, I work for a little bit after he's gone to sleep for the night and I try to wake up a little earlier the following day.
Besides the update I wanted to share this motivational video I came across. It can really get to a person, so you've been warned. ;o)

This week has been a slow one for NE-Things, but that's nothing new I guess. I did some work on Jack & Justine and posted a word count desktop wallpaper for sale on Sellfy. I've been able to reorganize Ínarú and make the collection a little more cohesive for me than it was before. When I did the original sketching for Ínarú I had two pieces that I sketched but never did because I wasn't sure how I was going to make them.

This will be a short post because I don't have much news to give. It was an "interesting" week. I have something new I have to do on a daily basis which affects my schedule a little. I had to update it again, but I feel it flows better. At one point it divides itself into two separate schedules because it all depends on whether the king of the house takes his nap or not. I've tested it towards the end of last week and it works. Today was one of those days so we didn't follow it at all.

My editing program is still down, so I have had to abandon Jack & Justine for the time being. :( I tried using one of those online programs but they leave a watermark and it's just a hassle to deal with. Hopefully by next week my partner will be able to fix it for me. Correction: by the week after next. I will be out during this next week because of some personal matters I must attend to. Because of that I won't be posting my "usual" posts.

A quick catch-up on the schedule:
my partner had been on vacation so we steered away from the schedule a little
bit. But, so far our scheduled mornings are working out great. It’s the afternoons and early evenings that we’re
still “as it goes” with. I don’t mind,
but I need to cut out a block of time to get my own work done. Right now, I’m just trying to squeeze work in
when I can.

Sadly, this weekend update is a very short one. I got a little caught up working on some home projects and I didn't get to do more coloring on Jack & Justine. Although I started working on their shading and other details, I didn't work much on their backgrounds. But, just because I didn't sit to work in a way that I have something to show for it, it doesn't mean my mind wasn't working on them.

So I've been working with the schedule and it's actually been working out pretty well. Of course, there are days when I have to go out to run an errand or go to an appointment so I can't really stick to the schedule. When that happens what I do is simply switch that day I went out with that week's Saturday.
