Blogger is Still Tech Challenged

 I tried adding a picture to the top of my blog. Obviously, it didn't happen. I have some other ideas. I don't think Blogger does. Blogger is probably not comfortable with me having ideas. Sigh. I didn't miss this part.

While I wasn't blogging, I started spending more time on DeviantArt. I post art nearly every day. I have several watchers. I get some favorites. Occasionally, I even get a comment or two. 

I am doing a lot of AI art. I see this as art exercises. It also helps me refine what prompts I put in and how I word things. The way I see things is NOT how others view the world. Because I must carefully word phrases, I am getting better at writing stories to sell my art on Etsy. 

My shop still isn't up to par. It is better. If I logged in daily, I might start making regular sales. Etsy isn't tech savvy either; I struggled with my banner. I never could get the size right. Things would look great on my desktop monitor and be wildly distorted once uploaded. I finally opted for a small dragon drawing as my banner, and I used the graphic I worked on for ages as my product spotlight. Just because Etsy makes suggestions does not mean I need to follow them to the letter. 

I didn't change what I make, and I haven't tried to narrow down products to make them fit into one type of niche. I am not concerned with only selling quilts or mirrors. Instead I changed how I present what I make- I decided I make whimsy goth. So I can make quilts with dragons, needlepoint skulls, and any kind of mirror is magick. I have my horse art, my key chains, and my art cubes that don't fit with anything. Goth covers whatever is weird. Whimsy covers whatever isn't dark/black. 

As I progress with writing, I will add my shop and my Deviant page. Maybe I can even get a picture at the top of the blog. I'd also like to add a word cloud, or at least start labeling posts. Tomorrow, I'll write some life updates. 

Blessed be, my dears. Stay safe.

Full Moon Post

 Good afternoon, my dears. I am struggling today. I had several allergic reactions last night. The combo of lacking sleep and antihistamines has me dragging. I did a spell to remove the allergens. Enough already.  I am making lots of notes, so that when I am able to think, I will have a list of things to do. I've had several art ideas, but I lack the energy and focus to do them.  I am also deep cleaning my house. I am trying to get rid of any allergen residue.  My daughter has shown an interest in cooking. This makes my life easier. Goddess bless my child, she is a gift and I am grateful.  I have some wine. I intend to relax this evening.  My a1c has greatly improved. I feel much better about my health overall. I am trying to bolster creativity among fellow artists. I created a group text for my fiber group. So far it has been very positive.  It has rained in my part of the world every single day for weeks. My garden looks great.  I changed up cle...

Spring Equinox

 Good morning, my dears. I should have written yesterday, but I got a bit involved with cleaning and getting out decorations. Every year I make an egg tree. This year, I will be using a tree in my garden, rather than one in the yard. I will write a separate post about this later.  When I got up yesterday, it was about 73 degrees. Then it got colder. I have several orange trees. I didn't want them to die in the cold, but since ants have moved into all the pots, I didn't want to bring them into the house. I cleaned out a small section of my in-laws' greenhouse.  Last Tuesday was very warm. I put all the trees in my garden. I told each orange trees to protect my happiness. This is an important detail. Yesterday, on the Equinox, I put the orange trees charged with protecting my happiness, in the greenhouse next door.  This morning, my father-in-law texted me to say my sister-in-law is in the ER, maybe it's her appendix. She started feeling bad on Tuesday. My husband has ...

 I didn't finish packing up Youngest Son's clothes yesterday. Still shirts left. Also socks, underwear, and shorts, but those aren't in the closet. I thought both these totes were the same, but the top one is bigger. The bottom tote is jeans and the top is all shirts. I started wondering if I should re-pack these, but then I decided all the clothes still wouldn't fit, so never mind.  Blessed be, my dears. Stay safe and warm.
