PHD (projects half done)

14/8/2018

Saw this quote on Facebook shared by one crafts addict, another one like me. So me!

Taking Summer break for now and leaving half done Welcome sign, bags of flowers for Halloween project, wind-chime from shells and ceramic fishes.... last one probably can stay till the next summer, cement bags and empty cottage cheese containers.... Happens all the time!

My Etsy store will stay open but posting will resume only on 27th of August.

I have just decided that I will offer 15% off my makes until 27th August. Why not!?

The promotional code is BeachTime

Over the last week or two I have done few experiments on Social media platforms, Facebook and Instagram promoting my post and buying followers.

This bloody social media is so huge part of everyday life these days that if I want to get what I do with my Craft out there I have to participate and mingle in Facebook, Insta, Pinterest and many more which I don't know and don't think have any time for more than I am on already.

You see, I'm not that outgoing talking to everyone on the bus person and I don't owe many friends on Facebook. Well, I decided to pay some money to boost my unpopularity.

If you read feedback or reviews about getting follows and engagements, and they say they are not real people that engage then I say it is true.
Going back to my boosted post from my business page which is my platform for sharing decors and artistic endaviours I wanted to go further and seen more.

People who liked my post cannot be invited to like my page and no one actually checked out anything else on the page. Maybe two people... and whats interesting! Engagements by women costed twice as much that mens! That's how you do business DCA!

At the moment I'm testing Insta thing. Will see how it goes. At the moment, zilch. I think they have missed my order so I will probably will have to contact them mysterious people in Canada to get some job done for my dollar. Hopefully I wont get into much trouble from admins indasky who can put cross over to my fruits in WWW.

And then I promise I will rest my curiosity and just keep crafting!

P.S. I hate to repeat but all photos are taken by me and all those sweet artistic little pieces I made, you can buy!
Don't be shy like me and put your fingers on texting machine and let me know if you want them.

Well well, my week off ends now.

It's time to wrap up all the projects started, finished ones and half-way ones.

I has been intense time for me. It's probably wasn't that obvious for my home crowd but it was for me.

Psychically and mentally .. i was catching up

Catching up with what exactly? I could not tell you!

I made a few cement pots and one experimental cement vase with glass tube resting now besides blackboard globes.

I painted it with such a strong yellow paint that its basically radiates light. Sunshine which has just exhausted here in Ireland.

This chunk of home decorating and stylish living magazines is left almost untouched.

AGAIN!

Well, again!

Just a pictures for now...

because I have started so many projects I cannot even get the flow of pics going .. as they say

I know its so random. But that's how I roll.

I have had few of Dandelion wall decors in my Etsy store and they sold pretty fast.

Meanwhile me, like a true artist just kept creating new designs and dismissed what public wanted to see.

So now I have new smashing hot dandelion on the shelve!!!

I used my favorite find, an old cottage door planks. It is original green paint with pieces of chippy blue paint leftovers.

I just had to keep the vintage look!

White dandelion distressed with a little bit of dark wax. Originally the green wood was a little bit lighter shade but I used clear wax all over my piece which made it slightly darker in colour.

This piece is full of character and vintage holes. If you appreciate old and pretty, you will love it!

Yesssss, that what was missing from my web site.

For some time I am all about blue decor obsession, all shades of blue, blue and more blue shades in my wall signs and decors.

Just about time to make new section of Blue Decors.

I'll tell you what happened. My PC died, like hard drive was damaged (that's what they said). Even thou I kinda new that with a little bit off effort time and money cashed in something more could be salvaged. But who has time these days?!

And hey, in some ways it felt like Spring clean. I have been really struggling with cluttering issue this year.... I'm not blaming any one and no one. It is just the feeling more like stuff as such.

And I have my PC back as you can recon as I'm able to post things on web site and this happy feeling on my silly face when I sync my newborn PC with Google account and all is there. At least all I actually need for now.

I told myself and to my brother as well that memories need to be remembered and not stored in folders (forgotten folders) on your devices, numerous scattered devices in numerous copies I even did not know existed.

Or an alternative when you don't have to worry that spyware with take them away from you. We simpletons are powerless against modern technology.
So involuntarily decluttering happened to me this week.

Alrighty, now back to my BLUE

Clicking through to all my freshly appearing folders and looking for those Beach wall hangings, Dreamy signs, Blue cement pots and AIR plant holding beauties. Looking for my DIY magic :)))

And there these two my favorite blues: Hello Beach :)
