The Last TWO Months...Almost 3 Months!

For nearly three months I have been almost completely confined to my bed!  I have Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and it has been giving me heck!  Once I get over one thing, another springs up.  Right now I am dealing with a painful slipped disc in my back, serious ALL DAY fatigue, breathing issues, joint pain and lack of pain killers.  I have a very high pain tolerance, living with RA for 7 years makes you able to over look little aches and pains, so when I say I'm in pain...I'm in something serious!  Laying down definitely helps me pain manage, but boy does my house get messy.  When I'm stuck in bed, my mind often wonders how any body with a chronic immune system disease got along with everything.  I'm usually pretty good at crafting during this bed time...but I've been feeling in a funk so more than anything I just find myself thinking about stuff.  Despite, I have still been able to get craft videos up you my Youtube channel....don't ask me how.  I, however; haven't uploaded anything in a week. Try as I might the energy just isn't there. 
In two weeks my favorite band The Cure is performing at a Denver festival.  I had plans to go...came to reality, "HOW?"  I have since cancelled the plans, feel especially sorry for myself, but what you gonna do?  So anyways, that's my downer update.  Soon I'll be back to some normality...I just know it!  Until then, craft updates will be a bit slow to come.  Youtube.com/user/crafthappysummer

Summer

March Craft Update!

I recorded a video showing most of the stuff I made in the month of March. I a lot of small stuff!  I even started to bead, again.  The beading project didn't end well, however.  I mention in the video about how the finished beaded product came out looking like small broom and that I didn't want to wear two brooms on my ear, so only one earring was made.  Don't you just hate a project that doesn't transform in to craft gold!? Maybe I can attach the broom to a mixed media piece of some sorts.  Anyways, in the craft haul you'll see my regular polymer clay stuff, along with some resin and a dash of jewelry making.  I made this awesome shadow box that I forgot to include in the video...that pic is on my instagram.  I hope you enjoy the video!  I haven't started crafting this month...but am really looking forward to getting started, already!
