in fall

pretty amazing that we are into the month of october. one beautiful thing about living in northern minnesota is the change of season. this time of year is my favorite time. the colors of nature at her finest, i can't compete with with yellow golden orange ochre red sienna tan and brown, they are perfect!

autumn in northern minnesota as with spring and summer don't last as long as they used too. this is the time of year when i miss the desert too.

yippy!

a brand new mac with all my stuff up and running from my old deceased mac that passed on because of 'logic board failure!'

i am frankly amazed at what i have accomplished because of NOT having a computer in front of me! a new lot of goodies that will be posted on etsy as soon as possible. camera don't fail me now!

breakdown

how did we ever survive those grand old golden days without a computer? it seems that it was just yesterday that i mastered a word processor, remember those? and now i have acquired a cell phone, camera and a mac. i totally refuse to buy any more widgets that will complicate my life further! i am using my husband's laptop as i write this. it seems that my mac had a bit of a meltdown and refuses to even turn on for even just a little bit. i will be traveling to the twin cities to have that bugger repaired, two hours away. what a pain in the rump that is! i will be saying my prayers to the hickydoo and the wahtchamacallit godess the wideget man to ask for their blessing and that my mac will come out of this unscathed. please pray for me :P

the focus

many times it's hard for me to focus at the task at hand and even loosing sight of the big picture. from small every day things to the dream of finishing my studio and concentrating on being a metalsmith. i think i need to have a big stickie posted to my forehead, 'susan! focus!' or many be little flashing subliminal messages in my glasses that says don't let the little petty issues take up that much space in your tiny little brain, there's is only so much room! think about what you need to do and maintain course! yea right... we can always dream, the tricky navagation is to acheive those dreams.

copyright infringement

i need to vent a bit about copyright and the blatant stealing of jewelry designs. it finally happened. and i'm very upset, yea upset is a good word, there are a few other choice words that come to mind but i probably shouldn't go there. emailing administration at Etsy.com may come to no use. and the thought of hiring a lawyer makes me not want to even see one. so what should i do? i have already emailed the 'infringer' and she pretends she has no clue. that's nice.

soooo.... creating more jewelry may help. peace.
