"Busy" does not describe all that is going on with me right now....and a little Pinterest rant....

No, it does not!! Not only is the semester ending in a few weeks, which means tons of assignments to do and turn in, but I have work--being at Jo-Ann, you know this is the busy season so there are plenty of sales ( I work at 5:30 AM for Black Friday), and I have been neglecting this blog and my Etsy site....."chicken-head-cut-off" is more like it....plus, there is Thanksgiving and I'm the cook!!!

...well, the issue with Etsy is a personal one---that my computer is not working, so I have to work twice as hard to upload pictures, and that is NOT fun....and with the computer not working, and classwork being due, I have to spend a lot of time in the computer lab here at UNR (that's where I am right now, updating this blog before I get down to business with a lesson plan that is due soon...).

...on a positive note, working at Jo-Ann is paying off--I get a discount, so I bought some nice fabric to make some cute things to sell on Etsy and/or Craftstar soon...I might just bite the bullet and take pics and upload them here at the computer lab to get it done and get new stuff out there....

About Pinterest:   I want to commit to working on this blog once a week, and possibly making some improvements to it, like adding more content that can go on Pinterest---which, according to many people including myself--is the devil, because it is irresistible and very hard to leave after you start looking at stuff, taking up time that is better spent cleaning and doing laundry (with the homemade laundry soap you just made)....I fear that people will no longer want to buy handmade items, and just want to make them on their own, so I am really considering switching my focus to accommodate this issue (OK, so that is not news to you; you know I change my mind a lot)...it will have to wait until the semester ends, though, since I do need to get a TON of work out in the next 3 weeks....
