CATCHING UP AND OTHER THINGS

Arrg! For some reason I've not been able to sign in to my blog for a long time. It seems that they've 'updated' again and that always seems to have issues. I finally got in today. Whew! So far, I do like the new format though. Creating and editing the posts is much easier now.

A couple weeks ago I had the day from hell! My old computer, where I store all of my patterns and such, crashed. I'm in the process of trying to figure that mess out. Thankfully, I have some of them backed up on old disks. One of these days I hope to update my old class handouts and maybe put them up for sale. Because I get so many requests for them, I've also been thinking about making individual patterns out of the projects in my Dimensional Flowers, Leaves & Vines book since it's out of print and I don't plan to reprint it.

In the mean time, I've just been experimenting and playing with tecnhique. I seldom finish a whole project because I'm having so much fun just experimenting. LOL Once I do something new I play with the technique for a while but then I get bored and put it aside and go back to experimenting.

I always say I'm like a 'mad scientist beader'.  Like Dr. Frankenstein in the vintage movies with his hair standing on end, crazed look in his eye laughing in his demented, mwahaha! mwahaha! mwahaha! way at the sheer joy of creating. I can hear him now screaming ecstatically, "It's alive! It's alive! It's alive!"  

One of these days I'll have to actually finish a project! Now wouldn't that be something! ROFL Actually, I am working on and idea that is, like ol' Doc Franky's Creation, put together in bits and pieces, but that's a story for a different post at a different time. (Ohhh I'm sooooooo baaaaad!)

In the mean time, I'm off to do some more experimenting. mwahaha! mwahaha! Mwahaha!... It's alive! It's alive! It's alive!!!!!!!
