It has been almost 2 years since I have posted anything that resembles a drawing let alone a photo (that I love really). I haven't been in the artsy mood honestly with a lot of stuff happening and things we don't say out loud, it is what it is. Where do I begin with what I'm working on. I'm currently working on two drawings though haven't made anything solid for the second drawing. I tried drawing last year I think but it was a major fail and I felt more stressed out about it. I gave up and let it go. Until....


About last week I felt this moment of inspiration and the need to draw something, mostly because my mind has been going off somewhere as of late. So this is what I have been working on Princess by desertlilly

Personally not drawing like this for a long time, I'm pretty happy with it so far but I keep getting headaches. I wonder if this is normal. I gave it such a crappy name but there will be an improvement to that by the time I finish the drawing, I hope.

That's it for me I guess.

So a lot has happened in a short while since I don't post a lot on here anymore. :iconmjr-stryker: and I have been working on a few projects whether it was stained glass or glass pendants.  We have finally made enough to set up a store and we are crossing our fingers. We are going to start off by selling pendants but eventually sell stained glass. Not sure if anyone knows this but this craft is very expensive so it's important to go a bit slow so you're not buying so much and not getting anything in return.  We are trying to come up with ideas on making our.... I just had an idea! I love ideas. Anyway we finally put up a store and sometime when we put items up we will be crossing our fingers more.

I love this hobby and it's fun to see how it will turn out. Hoping to share our store here and wherever we go, maybe that'll help with the whole selling of products.

Okay that's it.

P.S. Store is finally open!!! www.etsy.com/shop/GlassFusionC…

BEWARE OF FLYING GLASS!!!!


:iconmjr-stryker: and I have been working on some new different things, such as.... Glass pendants!!!! So it turns out, we're actually pretty good at it.  When we're ready we are actually going to open up a store on Etsy for our stuff.  You must be warned though when dealing with glass.

1) Beware of flying glass. This is no joke.

2) Glass will get everywhere so brush yourself off before seeing your puppy or kitty.

3) Glass can be expensive, especially starting it up from scratch (aka cost of materials and tools).

4) Take a class before buying stuff.

5) Beware of flying glass... yeah it's that important. I just brushed glass out of my hair folks.

6) If someone else is messing with glass, wear your goggles... beware of flying glass.


I can't stress that enough cause you'd be surprised on where glass goes and you can get glass in your eyes right off the bat when dealing with a grinder. I love playing with glass.

Who knows right? Maybe make some money or some people happy or something like that.

Lilly :rose:


P.S. Beware of flying glass.... this means you!

So there has been some major changes in which doesn't allow me to draw or write or get used to the cold weather.  Moving pretty much sucked because I went from mucky and attacked majorly by allergies state to cold, cold, cold, cold, freezing cold state.... with absolutely no usual food or shopping places within a half hour.  I was shocked in so many ways that I cannot begin to describe.

I wanted to leave this state so bad and go back to where my parents were.  Thinking about that now, I'm glad I didn't.  I wasn't used to not being around people I didn't know. I guess the better way of saying that is I'm not used to being without family within an hour's drive.  So due to all that and some other things beyond my control, I went hiatus....?  Coping with it now is still rather hard.  I still want to leave this state but I do not want to go back to that dust bowl of a state.

My husband and I have been going through some life changing events so that keeps me from communicating with others.

1) Had to get used to the area.

2) Had to learn how to cope.

3) My brother lost his 13 year old cat, his SUV got totaled due to some crazy lady, got a dog, and his wife got pregnant all in about 2-3 weeks.

4) We got a puppy.
Note about puppies: They are like babies, especially if you get them at 5 weeks old. We have had sleepless nights due to the crying.  If you can't hack that kind of stuff, don't get a puppy... let someone else who can do that care of the little one.

5) We thought our puppy was really sick when just a few days after we got her she was becoming extremely tired, coughing, sneezing.  We were worried but thankfully it was only a common intestinal parasite for young puppies that we caught in its real early stages.

I hope I can go back to drawing again but I doubt that until she gets house-broken.  Oh right forgot to mention what breed she is.  She's a Malti Tzu (1/2 Maltese, 1/2 Shih Tzu).  She's adorable right down to her little kisses.  The other night my husband said, "Hands up!" At that time she was on her back so she lifted her front paws up to her ears.... It was cute!!!!

Okay I think that is the update.

Hellos!!

What a time and a half it has been let me tell you that!  So where our heroes were last at (myself and :iconmjr-stryker:), we were getting ready to get married and nothing could keep us from that day.  Not the rain, sleet, snow, pollen, sunny days... wait, we love sunny days!!  The wedding went so awesome and did so lovely without a hitch.  The honeymoon was the best ever!! Next paragraph is about that. ^.^

The honeymoon is awesome!! I haven't posted in this journal nor uploaded and art or photos because right after we got back from the honeymoon I had to go to class and :iconmjr-stryker: had to go to work and needless to say it has been hard adjusting back to life when you went away for 2 weeks and enjoyed life for once. My few comments on the honeymoon:

1) California freaked me out.  It was so beautiful but had very dangerous drivers.  Sorry people from Cali but... but... I'm sorry but... they really wanted to hit us a lot during that week.

2) The San Diego Zoo was soooooooooooo big!!!! Much love to that place.

3) Sea World was... the bomb!!!! :heart:

4) Dolphins are amazing creatures.  I got to pet one on the side where the baby was in wait to be born. So... oh man... it's so amazing that it will never leave me ever!

5) Shamu was awesome and I didn't get wet!

6) Pandas rock!

7) Flying is annoying but great shots that I want to put up too!

8) In a way I was glad that we landed back home after a week but also sad missing that great time.

9) I had pizza 3 times that week while we were there.  That was the first time in over a year!!

10) I enjoyed my time with my husband! ^.^ :heart:

So now that we're back after a month or two... I have to take the time to apologize to someone who asked me to draw something. My personal apology goes out to :iconlovingkitty:.  I make this promise that, which I believe, tomorrow I will start on the drawing because it's the end of my class and I don't have any homework to work on.  You should be getting comments or notes from me tomorrow about it.

That's about it for tonight.  I'm going to relax a bit until bedtime.

Later,

Lilly :rose: :heart:
