Gotta find the positive in the little things.<br /><br />Robin - I was having a squizz at your designs the other day, they look great. I wish I could work out how to generate some cash from crafting. To break even or even have enough to buy my own coffee without guilt would be nice.Michelle Rogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16472120868084570461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181780691238814823.post-78055623522203802452011-11-18T13:59:56.377+11:002011-11-18T13:59:56.377+11:00Jane - thanks.

I am the one with the rolling eyes when he stops to see if he can find anything cool when he sees that someone has left large items on the curb. I have tried to cut back on the bitching, however, because many times he will fix something someone else has thrown out and sell it on craigslist. I can't really complain if he's making money out of the deal. Now, if he starts adding clutter to our house, I'll have a problem.<br /><br />I do like your idea to cover it in paper. I may have to try that sometime. I, myself, used to be anti-craft. But, in my new dysautonomia life, I am quite crafty. Trying to make a business out of it too. We'll see how that goes. I just want to make back some of the money I spend on stuff to keep me busy while I lay in bed all day. You know?<br /><br />Much love,<br />RobinRobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12809476923136659551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181780691238814823.post-41461536623283126282011-11-17T13:37:28.175+11:002011-11-17T13:37:28.175+11:00I have to say I pissed off right now that my reade...I have to say I pissed off right now that my reader isn't working properly and I have missed recent posts. Anyway off topic.<br /><br />Em I love your upbeat take right now, years ago I went on an intensive pain management course much of which wasn't appropriate for me (the physical exercise part) due to my bendiness and they made me sit and twiddle my fingers. But also learnt to find good in small things rather than bemoan that which I could no longer do. Are you sure you haven't been on a secret pain management course...<br /><br />Back on topic me. slapped wrists. virtually<br /><br />I love love love the mirror. Intelligent recycling indeed. I love it. Hope you are very proud of you Michelle.Acheloishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13489197508242501952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181780691238814823.post-44962829904129020982011-11-17T07:35:01.965+11:002011-11-17T07:35:01.965+11:00the upside of being able to do things slowly is th...the upside of being able to do things slowly is that you can change your mind about things, and go in a different direction, thats what i tell myself anyway.<br /><br />your children are so sweet helping you bring the goods home. aawww. xemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14196652412958890367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181780691238814823.post-80604657808434870022011-11-17T01:23:20.778+11:002011-11-17T01:23:20.778+11:00Looks great.....

And don't worry, I have so many projects sprawled across my floor- some of them don't get touched for years. Sometimes it takes me days even to complete a basic card- oh the joy of having a chronic illness.

They tried to arrest someone in my area during one this year but the guy was released without charge after outrage from the community.
