Trying something new (day 13 blogging with Effy Wild)

Tuesday Bluesday, anyone else have more issues with Tuesday than they do with Mondays?
I don't know why, but Tuesday is the day I want to crawl in a hole and stay there.
Maybe Monday traumatized me.
  • Trying to focus on my business marketing. After the success of last weeks workshop, I'm trying to prepare myself for the let down this week is looking like it will be. Did I manifest that?
(Looking back at history, there's no rhyme or reason why some classes go and others fizzle. Indeed, there have been some I didn't really want to teach that were crazy popular, so I don't feel like alignment is at issue, unless it is the universe aligning in laughter at my expense....)
  • Wow, I'm just realizing how scattered I am feeling. (I mean in general, the Tuesday thing is just a given)
  • Another realization this week is that I am much better at doing for others than I am at doing for me.
  • I got a wild hair earlier in the year and bought an airbrush system planning on doing airbrush tattoos at festivals.  I was reminded early in my experiments why I didn't pursue airbrushing years ago.  1-I am not a patient person when there is a real learning curve to something and 2-even water based paints are PAIN in the ass to clean up in the airbrushes.  I have concerns
  • Anyone else feel like updating their website just sucks the life out of you?
  • I bought some spring bulbs that were already growing on Saturday.  Seriously, they were just little green sprigs.  Yesterday 2 of Irises had bloomed and the other Muscari (known as grape hyacinth) has grown 4 inches! I am humbled by natures possibilities!  We had sssoooo many irises around my house growing up and I really wanted that from my childhood. I did, however, find out that there are dwarf iris bulbs that differ from my experience and that is what I had purchased.

  • today's overused word is "that"
  • I managed to recover 4 of the chairs from my art cooperative I am a member of, and they don't look terrible. Bonus, what I figured would cover 4.5 chairs will cover 5.25 (lol)
  • now I need to go do some HEAVY marketing and even HEAVIER hoping on my new painting challenge I am trying out (remember that title? no, me either, that was a long time ago, but yeah, this is the new thing I am trying out).  See what the crazy lady is talking about here: Emerge April Painting Challenge

  • have a fantastic day!

Well.....THAT
Thursdays are harder for me.
I too need to update my website but where do I even begin? It is overwhelming!
Love how fast the bulbs shot up though. It reminds us that there is always hope and new beginnings❤️

Hi Donna! I feel your pain!
Thank you!
Airbrush is using an airgun hooked to a compressor that spays paint onto the canvas or whatever you're working on. Sort of like spray paint, but in a controlled fashion. Have you ever seen the folks painting on T-shirts at a carnival? That's a common use.

The website stuff is ok for me when I do it regularly but when I leave it for ages and then can't remember how to do it..then it gets tricky! I am really scattered too..these April energies are busy!!

Hi Aoife! That's good that it's not a struggle for you. Since mine changes every week, I sure don't forget, but it gets tiresome.
Ahhh...maybe I need to feel into the energies.

Updating websites sucks the life out of me too.
Hyacinth is my favourite smelling flower, do these smell like hyacinth? Or it called that because of physical similarities?
