Craft Hippie News

ch ch ch changes...

Hey folks - anyone who reads my blog... not so much about my craftness or my hippie-ness sometime, but I'm working on it.

Found an adorable little (and do I mean little) house today that I think will be perfect for me to "start over"... I will be able to save $, I will be able to set up my art studio in the garage. I will have a fresh start.

So, I am thankful. I know that even though it's been a challenging year full of opportunities for growth, we just keep moving forward!

It's almost the holidays...

I'm anxious about the holidays. I am 1) moving. 2) having some health challenges. 3) having financial challenges (hence the move). 4) alone for the first holiday in the better part of a decade....no partner, no MOL, nadda.

I've never been a fan of thanksgiving, but I love the sights and sounds of christmas. I love the colors, the shopping, the gift giving.

this year will be a true challenge.

Flickr, Twitter, and Plurk...

Sounds like bodily functions, but yes folks, I am all over the place....
Ravelry, Etsy, Facebook, Myspace (3 pages), Suicide Girls, God's Girls, Twitter, Flickr, Plurk, and of of course blogger - my blog.

although some might say that it is a waste of precious time, I find it great to unwind, see what others are doing, meet friends, be inspired, decompress from my day and just have fun.

Do you Twitter?
Do you Plurk?
look me up ;-)

no excuses!

I forget to blog.... I have no excuses! I always have a lot to say....

The Craft Hippie has been busy, busy, busy....not necessarily crafting however. I am contemplating moving to a artist loft type area and am positive that change will help... I have screenprint screens.... I have canvas. I even have a new easel. But my energy seems to drop out of my body when I come home. Guess I'm still grieving the loss of my love.

More to be shared soon about my new localle. I WILL keep you posted!

Namaste'

bad, bad, bad, blogger

Life certainly went from one extreme to the other. For months while unemployed I had nothing to do...now with my new job (Yeah!) I have sooo much to do. It seems like the weekends come and go and all I've done is sleep and do a couple loads of laundry. This weekend I didn't even get groceries.

More soon.... I swear ;-)

ahhhhh, if only i were limber enough to take pics of my tats . lol i have a naked lady with a beehive hairdo sitting in a martini glass on my arm. have had it for 30 years!! (i started young lol). i have a upc symbol on my hip which i have had for 26 years, and i have a homemade tattoo on my back which i got in a bar while living in new york. i am currently working up a folder of classic designs (pin ups, bluebirds, etc...) as it is time for a few more. eventually i would like a sleeve of pinups on both arms. i have a sneaking suspicion that this is going to be one fun group to belong to! lol

Welcome to Indie!!!

A bunch of us who sell on Etsy.com have already started excepting RME payments!

It is a new online payment site that a lot more people are using now because it is totally free! No FEES!!!!!!
When someone pays you,you get all of your money! Works just like paypal but without the fees. AND they give you $25 for free just for signing up! I didn't want to tell others about it until I actually got my $25 in my bank account and started using it myself. But I have been using it and it is great! So I am spreading the word!
I am so sorry if this sounds or looks like spam. It is not meant to be at all!!! I really just want to tell you about a new way to except online payments without any fees.
