Changing Seasons

I love this time of year. It energizes and gets me into a creative mood. October for me is a month of having fun. I love the crisp mornings, and the way the day just seems to flow from one activity to the next. Time to work with my various “tools” I can’t decide should I sew, felt, write, make cards. I love love love the fall. A friend on Facebook, sent out a challenge, she posted a picture of a corner in her workshop. Asked who would follow suit. Oh my, I am a fan of Sherry’s, she is not only a talented artist/craftsperson, she is a fabulous teacher. I met her through the CDAA (Canadian Doll Artist Association) (artist who designed one of a kind dolls/characters) Ohhh I looked around my work space. Could I do it? While I was contemplating her “challenge” she posted another picture of another area , one that looked much like parts of mine, it made me feel so good that I was not alone in my artistic fuddle, I got out my camera.

LOL it is now early November, and I found this draft with a picture of what my studio looked like the, I’ve since cleared out that corner and put in shelving I found at at a closing out sale at a department store. Hmm let me see if I got a picture to show you of what it looks like now. No.. so I just took one to share with you, and then I’ll post this draft otherwise, it will stay hidden here till…?? note the new addition to my “tools” a Singer Ultralock 14u32, anyone out there give me some help setting it up with tension etc.

(I started this post Oct. 12) Sigh… but I did get back to it.. and I am following through a posting the picture of my studio corner… only now ..=^_^= you get an after shot to go with it.

Also my http://longdashstudio.blogspot.com that was until recently focused mainly on the diva fashions of the “biggie” virtual world of SL (Second Life) will now expand to include the many delights of Second Life, the landscaping, architecture and all the creative “stuff” I love about virtual building,design/ART.

Wandering and Wondering

Wandering and Wondering. Wow. here I was looking forward to what I had written back in September that I never got around to finishing. All I had done was the title. Goes to show, I have been kept busy with one thing or another, and for the life of me, I couldn’t tell you what exactly. That is what my head space is like thee days. I’m enjoying life. I’m happy. Content even. I flow from one task or activity to the next, living it, and then letting it go. I have been keeping up with my Long Dash Studio blog, that I do almost every day. http://longdashstudio.blogspot.com . I’m writing a short article each month for the church (Perfect Liberty) that appears in Tone Magazine. http://www.facebook.com/Tonemagazine or http://www.tone.ca

My various personas are all doing well. Qyhat Harbour is now a ginger cat, and has an art exhibit on in Raglan Shire, it will be there for two months, April 2013 and May 2013 … AloToi is CEO of LONG DASH STUDIOS, writer,model, photographer, and Xsa Queler is model and writer for the blog. The blog is now in its 14 month, and we have reached close to 15000 readers, our biggest readership is in USSR, Europe and the UK. You can find us in Second Life, http://www.secondlife.com

We did wander last year, 9 States and 5 Provinces. I must have been going to write about the adventure. we’ve talked of taking off again, but so far, we have not strayed to far from home … Maybe when the nicer weather is here to stay, we will venture out. Meanwhile, I’m just saying Hi… and putting this blog to bed.

PL thought for today.

The value of Money and Things Depends on How you Choose to Use them.

Money and things are materials for your self expression. Use them to their fullest for the sake of others and society.

One man’s junk is another’s treasure

How often have we heard that? I certainly lucked out the other day, while browsing a thrift shop with a friend, I saw a chair out of the corner of my eye that I really liked. Turned out, the chair was in mint condition, and for some reason, the shop was having a sale on furniture, it was reduced from $45. to $9;99. Now you know I was gonna have to make room. All the cards fell into place, the car had been recently cleaned out so we could pack for our holiday. The young man easily got it into the car (after checking that the sale price was right ).. it was.. and we now have a new chair. So what is the big deal. WELL…. in life, the idea is to unclutter, simplicity is really the best way to live an uncomplicated life.

I had previously said that anything new coming in, meant something should go /be recycled. Since the new chair arrived, I have not parted with another piece of furniture. I did pass along two side tables about a week ago to my niece, does that count? hmmmm somehow I think I should do more. Last week-end I took about 5 pounds maybe more, of costume jewelry to a “thrift” show for recycling. does that count? What a dilemma. I derive great pleasure looking at this chair. No! although I find it very comfortable to sit in, VERY much so, it swivels and rocks, and this I don’t like. I enjoy looking at the chair..

It is like found treasure, only another treasure hunter would understand. any one else out there that shares this “little’ idiosyncrasy?

We are leaving for a short holiday, I will not be in SL (second life) for awhile, LOL this pictures shows my avatar chilling, you can see she is already in the mode for a vacation. Now all I have to do is finishing packing, the chair unfortunately can’t come, wonder if I will still be enthralled with it when I get back? If you’d like more information on this outfit I’m wearing visit my fashion blog http://longdashstudio.blogspot.com

to be or not to be

In my case, it is to write or not to write. I’ve been dithering back and forth for days I’ve had a lot of things to say, yet the words simply didn’t want to come together. Whether it was an opinion, a passing thought, I lacked the passion to sit down and process and put to “paper”. A lot has been going on in my life, we are planning to leave next week for a road trip down into the States. Exciting yes. I’ve been wading through the book 50 shades of grey. Impressed no. But I did buy it, all 3 in the combined 3 book that was available, so I’m persisting, hoping that it will WoW me. If you’ve read it, please tell me what you thought? Did you find it worth the time you put into reading it? It has certainly had good press.

My fashion/lifestyle blog is going great guns. I find it amazing that (1) there are so many wonderful creative ideas out there, and that I get to explore and enjoy the diversity. (2) That some designers lack the “people skills” to say thank you when they are given a write up, unsolicited and positive, yes they know it happened, because I and other professional writers who blog, notify them when their product or event is blogged.

I’ve discovered that not going to the “club” (The Athletic Club) on a daily basis, is an activity that I miss, (I’ve taken a LOA for the time I’ll be away, and the weeks leading up to the vacation so that I can “prepare”)

Yesterday was the service to celebrate 2012 Kyoso-Sai (Founder’s Day) My first time, I really enjoyed it. Google Perfect Liberty for more information.

This is a picture of the “pants” that I find comfortable to wear, and hard to find. I was on a mission, I’m happy to report that I now have several different varieties
