Standing still while running.

 Did you ever feel like though you were moving and thinking 90 miles and hour you felt like you were some how standing still? Well, that's where I'm at right this minute. Seems like there is so much for me to do and I'm moving as fast as I can, while I'm still standing still. So many things I'm waiting for so that I can proceed are going to take some time and thought and my head knows that but...Even at this moment it's happening, I'm standing still. 

Laying back in my red leather recliner there are things for me to do and those things are not due now or anything, but they are talking to me. I reached for my trusty laptop and here I am, writing because it's time but not because I have something truly terrific to share.

I've been very busy collecting, pricing and making things sell-able. In the meantime, working on a friend's apartment as her decorator. She decided she wants a horse theme. She lives in a 1 bedroom apartment. I'm soliciting a couple of friends to help me put it all together in a couple of weeks. The resident gave me a theme and a budget and I'm on my own. I love it this way.

So I ordered a few things that will go on the walls...really cute and are suppose to come the week after Labor day weekend.  I'm gonna ask her to leave and stay gone until I call her to come back for the reveal. That's the week of September 3rd. The item's should be at my door during the first of the week.

Right now there are many paintings her mom did of flowers mostly. So that's all coming down and will be replaced by a horse theme through out from the front door, past the kitchen and including the living room. There is a double window and two doors, one to the bedroom and one to the bathroom and then in the entry, one for a coat closet and a second for stuff. I'm making a couple of signs with wood scraps that will say, Feed room,Paddock, Stall and Tack Room.

Feed Room, kitchen: Paddock, living room: Stall, bath: Tack Room, bedroom. In my imagination it's gonna be really fun and cute with some relaxing colors. If it works, I may take pictures and put them in a post. She had horses when she was younger and though she didn't ride much, she loved taking care of them. It's gonna be fun.

I've also had several errands to run and laundry to do this week which is why it's quite possible why I chose the title of this post. Seems like when I have a lot to do or take care of, I also have to do something creative. So this week I repainted the frame of a painting for this same friend. It looks really good and helps the painting. That kind of creative blitz doesn't
always turn out well but this one did.

Ok, that's it for this one. I'm hoping to get some notification from the publisher regarding editing. And, BTW I have begun writing #2 book. Maybe I mentioned that before, no matter, it's in progress.

I'm Judy, and I'm enjoying some light jazz while writing away on this Friday afternoon. Hope you have a blessed next few days until we meet again...Happy Trails to you!

Honestly Speaking

 Well hello! I have a favor to ask of you. I know, I don't have any leverage over anyone who stops in on my blog so I'm not trying to pull something here.  Really! Look, I don't claim to be old or anything!!! But, I am aware that I'm not up on all the ways and means of blogging. I haven't read up on the whys and wherefores', etiquette or anything. Honestly speaking, I just got on here, opened/signed up for a blog and here I am. I don't know what is customary and another thing, I'm trying to get my post read by more than 7 people. Well, one time it was 9. So here's my request after all that honesty. I'd love to hear from YOU, If you've gotten this far in this writing this time around. Would you please comment? I would like some encouragement in writing here. And... If you are feeling gracious and have the time and inclination leave a comment on how I might draw readers. I know, I know...I've sorta read how to do that but...I don't get

Boxes, boxes boxes-how to survive a forced move!

  That's the way it was just before the movers came in and took all my stuff away to a pod on the apartment complex property. I had packed and packed and packed some more until everything was in a milk box from the local grocery. Next came the hotel that Milo and I stayed in for a few days until the 16th of February. I had planned for a swimming pool and hot tub, even buying bathing suits but, alas it wasn't to be, so Milo and I took walks on the grounds of the hotel and visited the dog park which wasn't too very far away. And Tuesday late afternoon, finally home again with all new cabinetry and flooring and freshly painted walls. Same ole' address but new insides...and now the fun begins. Just a few boxes left to unpack and then it's all about finding/creating a place to put things. The bulk of my belongings is craft supplies and tools. My bedroom is now my craft room. Leaving a small space for the new twin bed, I've managed to create my new craft space. The ch

So She Says!

 She being me, don't ya know! It's late and I should have stopped writing an hour ago but I'm here instead....writing.  The process of writing a book is way more than I thought but, I'm gonna do it anyway. I'm gonna write until I have nothing more to say and because I didn't find out how to do this before I started, I'm kinda moving backwards in the process. I've decided to finish the manuscript first and then go back and get it in order as far as I know how to. And that will be based on the information I've found on the web. Then, I will look for an agent. If I find one who is will to look at what I have, then I'll go from there. I'm guessing I follow his direction in what I need to do to get my stuff ready for an editor to look at. Then after that I don't know. I'm sticking this out because I believe in what I have to say and I think it is timely. But that's just me. Part of me things it won't make the cut, but the optimisti
