Framed prints of pretty scenery sell. Painted windows have shown interest and promises of buying next show around…but I’m not holding my breath.
And so I hope to be focusing more on my ink projects in the near future while I look for a means of steady employment and fattening up my cat. I swear, she’s too skinny for her own good.
Why I’m late in updating by a day? I only just got my main computer connected to the internet at my parents’ house…and spent that time updating my shop. I’ve got it nicely organized now in three different categories. Drawings pertaining to mythical and legendary creatures…something that I’ll be putting more time into as I get closer to saving up the money for my candle business. Then there’s just the random character drawings…which may or may not be updated at all…depending on what inspires me; which hasn’t been much as of lately. Then there’s the ink drawings, which show cases the pretty scenery pieces I’ve been working on, which will be updated whenever I’ve got a new piece finished.
Plus I’m not sure when I’ll be updating here again. Yes, I’m living with my parents now, but without a job, internet is not a luxury I’ll be able to afford once I’m able to move out of their house. I’m sure they wouldn’t mind me coming over and using my laptop to check up on a few things, but…sadly, CafePress doesn’t seem to like my laptop, as they refuse to let me view my sales summaries on it. Don’t know why, and I’m sure I’ll never understand it, but I’m not going to stress over it. It is what it is, and I’m simply tired of arguing over anything these days. My dad and sister are finding me overly agreeable as of lately, which I’m not entirely sure if that worries them or not. Meh.
But I’m at least closer to my family now…most of my immediately family, that is. Dad’s been taking me to various places to walk, like Harpers Ferry, and when I was living with my sister, I became her guinea pig for so many seafood related recipes; it made her oh so giddy as her husband isn’t a fan of fish. I can honestly say I’ve tried and like swordfish steak and learned that I don’t like cilantro. I’ve also confirmed with myself that I’m not a fan of handling raw meats…and so will more than likely find myself eating fish and chicken from the can more often than fresh when I’m living on my own; and if I ever find myself cooking from scratch, it will be something that’s more or less involving a vegetarian style meal. Though really…with my lack of knowledge when it comes to cooking and what to use for cooking…oils and spices and butters and such…I more than likely won’t be cooking from scratch that often. It’ll be back to the pasta/rice + canned soups and veggies and meats + Mrs. Dash shakers again! Weee! That’s what I call making Tuna Helper from scratch! For that, I just need a big pot and lots of storage dishes, and then a pan to cook up my grilled cheese and tuna/chicken salad melts on! I’ll be good to go there, since my dad has stated that my house warming gift from him will be stacks of frozen American cheese he can’t eat! Just means I’m not cooking for my family anytime soon, especially with their dietary needs and allergies that seem to be piling up a lot as of lately.
Now all this talk of food has me hungry…now, I saw some cheese, and I saw some bread down there yesterday. Dad talked about tuna…tuna melt sounds really good right about now…hmm…so does chips and dip still…commence licking of chops.
