Sora's Musings

In an act that can only mean that I am a glutton for punishment, I decided that I would dye and make a blanket for Lainey this year. How soon I forget the tedium of months worth of work ~laugh~. Reds and yellows and oranges for my red girl Lainey. Because yellow is the easiest to dye I started there. Even though I KNEW better, I kept thinking that the fustic wasn't taking well, and ended up adding enough that the wool is VERY VERY yellow. Laine seems to like it though so I guess that is all that matters. I think next will be red, still have to order the stuff. Yes, yes, this is very boring to all of you who don't dye and don't care about dyeing. :P So moving on....

I am WAY crampy today. ~sigh~ menstruation...I mean it's not enough to have to deal with the messiness of it all, but cramps just seem like a stupid add on. Makes me think about this hypnobirthing class I am taking with Megan...you know where they tell you that pain comes solely from the fear of having pain. That your uterus is only doing what it is meant to do and when your muscles are doing what they are meant to do, they don't hurt. Ya, I know...don't get me started. And I am sitting there and cynically thinking "OK...well I am not afraid of menstruation and yet I still have menstrual cramps". To top it off, that is almost always how I know my period is COMING. So no fear there...just the uterus doing its painful thang. So ya, cramps...they suck.

Guess what? Oh come on...one little guess....no? OK well I GUESS I can tell you....I am going to have merch! It is perhaps a tiny bit premature to be thinking of merch, but I had this idea to do ceramic pendants with part of my logo, and then I found someone who made molds and then...well, I just ran with it. ooooooo...and the samples are IN THE MAIL! EEEE! I am so excited about it. They are lovely....so lovely. And to make it even better, I am stringing em on silk ribbon....~drool~ silk. Have you ever noticed that I use a lot of .....O_o. Back to the silk...mmmmmmm....silk....the samples for the silk ribbons is on its way too. I am stoked about them, and hopefully people will buy them at my shows. Otherwise you know what you all are getting for Christmas for the next 10 years. ~laugh~

I have more...but I need to practice...a lot...

BTW, they don't have as a mood CRAMPY. I think they should add it...
