My big event of the night: signing up for PayPal. Ha ha. A lovely lady bought three dreamcatchers from me today & I needed a PayPal to receive the payment. If all goes well I’ll be shipping them out on Saturday morning. The exciting part is their new home is in Norway! I’ve honestly never shipped anything to Norway, so it’s kind of exciting in an odd way.

Cream Horns

This was my nearly all day venture. I’ve never made cream horns before and honestly I don’t like them. Since Mother’s Day is Sunday and I don’t really have the cash to buy anything, I figured I’d make something. That thought led to me looking all over the internet for a cream horns recipe. When my mom can find them she buys them, the bakeries and local stores in the area doesn’t really make them as often as you’d think they would. It’s become an almost seasonal bakery item now and they nearly only make it during the winter months. Mixing the dough was no problem, but the fact that you had to roll it, fold it, refrigerate it for an hour – that took forever. That process I had to do three times. After the last time I had to roll the dough out and cut it into strips. Since I don’t have the proper item to roll the dough around I made tubes using foil. Worked out awesome. I do plan on looking at a cooking store I’ll be around tomorrow to price the round forms. Anyways, I finally finished a little after 10pm! By this time my mom was already in bed. So I hope they’re still somewhat good in the morning and the dogs/cats don’t eat them – I did put them in containers but that doesn’t mean anything.

Tomorrow I hope doesn’t turn into the long day I think it may.

I have to get the money for my phone and mess with getting the card, then get it turned back on. I just have a prepaid phone – but I get the unlimited card so I can tweet/text my little heart out & check email. I don’t really use it to talk to anyone. I’m going to a movie after 4pm so I’m hoping I’ll be able to get it all worked out before going to the movie. Fingers crossed it all works out and doesn’t put me in a  bad mood for the movie.

As far as the movie goes, I’m finally going to see The Avengers! I’m excited. I’ve waited for so long for this film to come out, then when Jeremy Renner signed on I was ready for it to come out for sure. It was filmed in Cleveland (Ohio) as well. Which I was in Cleveland nearing the end of the shooting schedule, didn’t help Cleveland with the crazy traffic. >_<

I know those of you who have been visiting my blog for the past years you know how much I adore Jeremy Renner and that I’ve been talking about him for YEARS. I’m still so happy that he’s finally getting bigger roles and people are seeing he’s talented. My favorite films though are the low budget ones. I know that sounds odd.

I haven’t really done any sewing. Which is bad considering how quickly the end of the month is coming. The good part is I have 9 bowties cut out – just need to sew them together. I only have one more to cut out to get to my goal of having 10. I have a bunch of bracelet strings all together, I just have to start knotting those. The one thing that will take the most time is the mini messenger bag, which now I realize I need to make 3 instead of 1. Cutting them out takes the most time, I can have one sewn together within 20 minutes – or more it depends on if the kittens want to help. I still have all of the flower pins to get together.

Oh and I’m going to make cute little felt fortune cookies!I’m not sure how many I’m going to make or what the fortunes are going to say. I do know I want to do a few of them that say ‘You’re beautiful just the way you are’ – I want to do those ones due to the current state of the world. I’m pretty sure I’ll have to buy felt, but it’s so cheap it won’t really matter.

Wow, it’s nearly 1am. I was hoping to be in bed before 2am, but I don’t think it will happen because I still need to get a shower. Ugh.

I’m hoping tomorrow night I’ll be able to catch up on blogs and returning comments. ^_^

Listening To: Neo-Liberal Anthem by Anti-Flag

It’s been a while, but this is my first blog entry at my new host Floriental.Org! I won’t get into why I changed hosts, but the most important thing is I’m very happy with my new host. As you can tell I’m still trying to get things together, I’ve kind of taken a break from working on getting the non-important things up. I’m just kind of taking my time when it comes to getting the small things up, which is okay with me.

I’ve been fighting a stupid cold all weekend – so my weekend was not fun. The first person to have this darn cold was my niece, then it just kind of worked its way to me. >_<

Saturday I did go out to a concert, it was fun until I got a headache. Metal music just really isn’t my kind of music but I went anyways for a few friends since they were the first ones playing. We didn’t stay for the whole show, which was okay by me. Ha ha. I just really want to go see a band I like. But with June coming quickly I’m not really able to.

That band, CityCop, has a few shows before June but the one I’m able to go to they had to drop out of! So this means I won’t get to see them until after June. It makes me kind of sad because I enjoy their music so much.

The Adicts show later this month is looking like I won’t be able to go to that either.

Aside from the concert problems, I’ve been working on things for the arts/crafts show at the end of the month. It’s 3 days so I’m making up a lot of stuff in hopes I sell most of the items. The major thing is I have a pretty good sized stretched canvas painting – I’m going to put $30 on it since it’s nice framed. I also have about 10 more bracelets to finish, 10 kitty bowties, 20 flower pins, 1  mini messenger bag, and about 5 hair pins.

I’ve also been using old windows and painting them. Right now I only have two done. One has yellow flowers and says welcome. The other has roses on it, I haven’t painted “welcome” on it yet. Tomorrow I’m going to try to at least start the lighthouse one I’m going to do. Then I have 3 more windows left to paint.

My idea is to have everything finished by the 23rd, which I’m sure I’ll be finished way before the 23rd. If I do get finished before the date, I’ll do a few extra things. I’m just hoping to have enough things made up and sell enough of the things for my trip in June. yes I’m still lacking major cash for the trip. I did add the link to the website where people can donate money toward helping me out.

It’s been a long day and I’m starting to feel it. So I think it’s about time for bed. Hell it is almost 2am.
