http://www.thefargrove.com Just another WordPress weblog Thu, 21 Aug 2008 16:43:30 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en In news that is not fun: my health is still causing a lot of trouble right now.  But I have fun news as well!  My supply order was made...and arrived sooner than expected!  Not only that...I made my new work area!  To do this I had to: Move my piano. Buy 3 ... http://www.thefargrove.com/2008/08/21/im-sorta-feelin-groovy/ I only make orders from my main supplier once or twice a year, because shipping is VERY expensive (even the cheapest option) and the discounts are WAY better if you order in bulk.  So I make giant orders to save on shipping and get nearly 50% off what the cost ... http://www.thefargrove.com/2008/08/09/supply-order-2008/ Well, I did actually do a set of floaters and I even tried a black and white clippie...but they're not turning out as I'd like.  I think I'm going to have to go with something a bit more unconventional.  It's VERY hard to make a clippie look anything but 'cute', ... http://www.thefargrove.com/2008/08/04/stop-with-the-cute/ There really has been nothing to say, this month...until now. I finally got my hair chopped off to a VERY short cut again (not that my hair was ever longer than just-above-the-shoulder) and it has increased my desire to make more short-hair accessories. Also, I turned 30 at the end ... http://www.thefargrove.com/2008/07/29/better-get-moving/ Etsy is STILL down. But at least I know the reason why. Etsy moved their servers to a new data center...which means that their IP addresses have changed. Some ISPs update daily on these things but others are slower, more like once a week. So anyone ... http://www.thefargrove.com/2008/06/30/has-the-body-become-too-big-for-the-brain/ For the first time in a while I felt a bit excited about something I was going to list on Etsy...and Etsy has been down for the last five hours. I can't get it to load at ALL, let alone log on.  So I'm going to have to forgo listing ... http://www.thefargrove.com/2008/06/28/since-etsy-seems-to-be-down/ I've decided to use this blog primarily for information and contact purposes rather than for promotion, and as such there will be no such thing as scheduled updates, any more. No 'definitely once a week' or anything of the kind. If I have something interesting to share, I'll ... http://www.thefargrove.com/2008/06/14/goodies/ I am currently re-photographing sticks and altering some sticks that I don't like enough to put up for sale 'as is', so I have nothing new to show.  My health is moderate-low at the moment but I'm still getting a few things done, and my tulips this year are wonderful.  ... http://www.thefargrove.com/2008/06/05/mini-update/ I am the kind of person who would LIKE to be sentimental...but just can't manage it.  It seems so unfeminine, to be almost utterly lacking in sentimentality.  I don't look at old photos with any sense of warm-fuzziness, I don't look upon gifts as talismans or signs of love (though ... http://www.thefargrove.com/2008/05/28/sentiment/ I am currently suffering a severe lack of strength and energy, lately.  I have been managing...barely...to do the most basic parts of my routine.  Listing items on Etsy daily, for example.  Eating, showering...biking if it isn't windy...and that is pretty much it.  I haven't even been watching TV or going ... http://www.thefargrove.com/2008/05/23/and-its-cold-and-cloudy-out-too/
