I haven't been here for awhile again. It just seems like life gets in the way. I've been putting off working on the horses because I'm scared of what I might do wrong. I finally decided today that it was now time to get to work. I've started putting gesso on my models that have been sprayed with primer. I've decided to see how my plan will work with these 2 models I've started. I sprayed them about 3 times, trying to keep the layers thin. I mixed my gesso with an acrylic paint and made a very light beige that I am putting on my horses in 2 layers. After that I am going to mix a small amount of gesso with a color close to the base color of the horse's coat. I'm going to use 2 coats of that and then I'll start with the oils and work from there. Now that I've made a plan I've just got to stick with it. I'm going to try to stay with the plan and keep it simple. I also have to paint some names on a few bells for Linda. It won't be too difficult I hope because I told Linda I'd have them for her on Monday. I hate when I do this to myself! I'm too much of a perfectionist so I always wait 'til the last minute to get these things done. Got to get over it. I really have to let go of perfect............ I just have to do the best I can and let it go at that.
I'm so looking forward to my trip to see my bestest friend!!!! I can't wait to get away from here to somewhere I've never been to before!!! I'm going to leave all of this "STUFF" here and forget where I live. It will be short but wonderful!!
I can't believe that Christmas is so close! Thanksgiving isn't even here and everyone is ready for Christmas now!! The marketing people of the world started advertising at Halloween and it just made me sick! I can remember a long time ago, when we just about held our breath until Thanksgiving was over and we started seeing the advertisements for Christmas. Toys and food and all kinds of gifts! It was very magical and I loved it. Now I feel like all of my elder family members who use to say that things had changed so much and they remembered when things were so much simpler, life was so much simpler. I feel pretty old some times. I guess that's just the way life goes. In 20 or 30 years the kids of today will be saying the same things. They just don't know it yet.
Well, on another note, the store has been sold and I don't see it staying around very long. I wish I had more business experience. I would love to start my own grooming business. I really think I could make it work. I know it would work.
It's late again and M-i-L has the TV on loud so it's very hard to concentrate on writing. I'll try again soon.
