November Status Update: Overload

Hullo, everybody! 

This has been a nutty month for me. (I'm working more hours at my new job. My etsy shop is picking up. And don't even get me STARTED on NaNoWriMo!) I'm juggling several large-ish and time-consuming things at once, and I'm not sure how good I am at juggling yet. Most of my attempts so far have ended with lots of dropped things and a few bruises. Hopefully, with practice, I'll get better.

Here are a couple of things I've been working on this last week:

This one is similar to an earlier piece, but I'm playing with different initials and color schemes. This is an especially fun one to make; it's snappier because there's no need to mess with balancing the frame.

                                                      

This one has been sitting dismembered next to my desk for a few weeks. I love making the pieces for the mobiles, but occasionally I just can't bring myself to go through the pain of prepping and balancing the frame (it's pretty time-consuming), so the poor thing just sits there. I'm hoping to get better about that. 

I've got several other works-in-progress right now. 

 This one is going to be part of a poinsettia wreath. The centers of the flowers are going to be little gold jingle-bells. *furtively starts pulling out candy canes and twinkle lights* It's not too early to get into the holiday spirit, right?

I'm excited about this one. (I love all cloud- and sky-related decor.) All I need to do is finish the tails on the kites and we'll be ready to fly. I'll post pics when it's finished. 

There's also one in my head involving planets and flying saucers, but I figure I ought to finish the ones I'm working on first... right? Especially the Oz one. Guh. It's being such a PAIN right now! (I'll tell you about it next time.)

Well, I'm off to try to make some more progress. Thanks for stopping in! I hope you're doing well and I appreciate you.

All the best,

Millie
