A Little Whining and Re-Opening of My Old Shop

Hate to bore you all, but I've been living much of the same old stuff.  Unpacking and getting the house in order.  I was just in the middle of measuring to drill holes and install curtain rods in my living room and trying to do this alone is a bit frustrating.  I kinda broke down and cried.  So I'm taking a break from that and posting this quick update.

I went ahead and opened my old etsy store (colibridesigns) for my non metal clay items and have listed a few earrings.  I figured this may help me get more energized to finish getting my office/workspace in order.  I really enjoy playing with my beady stuff.

Getting this house in order has been difficult and draining.  All the little stuff, like getting curtain rods up, building furniture for my office, unpacking the never ending boxes and organizing all that stuff, etc. etc., all by myself, just adds up to a lot of frustration and tears.  Trying to settle into this life after my divorce has been challenging and I pray I will have some happy days soon.

Well enough of the sadness.  Chin up, Sandra and get back to the measuring and drilling holes.  Say a little prayer for me.

Here's some photos of a couple of new earrings.

  2. Sandra - you are going through a life transition - which is always diffcult, painful, frightening at times and frustrating. Crying can relieve some of the pressure, so cry when you need to. Happiness will re-enter your life, if you let it. Try to focus on those things that give you joy and help you heal. Sending positive energy your way.
