Challenge: Your idea of a 'Domestic Goddess'

Make your version, in GLASS OR ON PAPER of a Domestic Goddess

This is for all you fellow lampworkers / Artists out there. And you can thank Angelina for getting me thinking. It's a rare thing that 'thinking'. LOL

I know one of things I wanted to learn when I started melting glass was how to make a Goddess. Well I think most of us make them in some form or manner. So here is my challenge for the next say week. Yes, you only have a week to get those pics in. I'll make a collage and we can post it on our blogs. How cool would that be!! And pleeeeeeese don't make me be the only one. LOL

Get melting and painting girls and guys!!

Oh, and just in case Maggie has decided she much prefers playing with clay - then we can include clay too. Okay...okay.......LOL

and the sun sets on another busy day!!

I shall dance to the beat of my own drum!! I will learn to dance in the rain!!

I've woken up and feel rejuvenated!! Shooooo!! Ready to face another potential busy day.

I have been blessed to find someone local who makes Natural body care products. The yummy soaps, body butter, linen sprays etc. The linen sprays being at the top of my Agenda. Not sure if you know but I have gone from conventional washing powders and softners to Soap Nuts. If you're not sure what Soap Nuts are, I'll take a pic of mine later. Anyway my wild idea is to use the linen sprays to give my laundry some 'pretty smelly' back as the soap nuts basically have NO smell at all.

Today's adventures include. Birthday boy gift shopping (at these times I feel I don't know my kids) LOL and taking a wild step in our curriculum. Now why wild?? I cannot answer that right now - except that what I would like to do is extreme for me.

I shall dance to the beat of my own drum!! I will learn to dance in the rain!!

oh, and get my whiteboard. LOL

Now all the women out there. Tell me. Why are haircuts so 'blooming' EXPENSIVE?? As some of you might know at the beginning of the year 'I did it'. I shaved most of my hair off for Cancer Shavathon. It is growing back and needs some direction. Pop into the new Salon at the centre we frequent and my jaw drops to the floor R300.00 to have this short mop sorted. You got to be kidding right!! I mean seriousley. So there went that idea for a haircut. I know one of bookclubs ladies go to a lady who is brilliant and I could probably have a cut, colour, highlights all for the same price. I must just find her.

You know that feeling.........

the one where you want to climb into bed and stick the duvet over your head and not face the world for a while. Well, that is where I am at. I also know that if I do that I might not want to come out and that would be BAD!! It would mean I've given up somehow, admitted defeat - given up on the vision of the SUPER MOM / WIFE!!!! Deep down I know I can accomplish everything. Cleaning house, ironing, schooling, taxi, living and my business. Note how my business seems to have taken a backseat to everything that is happening. I'm in shock - it needs to be somewhere more near the front.

I had a productive day and had a great play date / visit with a new friend. But........

I am bushed and exhausted and feel like I have had way too much stimulation and my brain feels fried. It's at the stage of don't touch me, give me space and let me chill!!! Thank goodness these days are rare.

My brain is calling for a solution. A whiteboard solution where I can schedule my days, my weeks and even my months - heck at the rate I'm going I could plan years in advance. LOL
