hairbrained schemes:

This is not only a test of the nation's broadcast system.

I am trying out the blog thing again.

I spent about 4 hours trying to redesign my blog.

After nearly punching my monitor in the face because I couldn't make stuff do what I wanted, I gave up and decided to just get going.

I recently got an Etsy shop up and running.

It only took me two years of thinking and talking about it to actually do something.

My friend, Dawn, who is my partner in crime and many other crazy things (figuratively on the first part and totally literally on the crazy part) pretty much had become weary with my excuses and procrastination and that wrapped up with the noises Gorgeous George was making about me getting a real job was enough to push me into opening a shop last January and actually listing something at the end of last July (I'm good at baby steps).

So this explains the change of my blog name, which actually saddened me, because I was quite fond of the old name, but Etsy wouldn't change their less than 20 letters in a name platform for me.

Imagine.

So Dawn came up with the name and the quote for one of my best selling prints:

and I was on my way.

(I do not condone punching your children in the face, only monitors, so if you want to call CPS on someone, contact me and I'll give you Dawn's phone number & address).

This is my shop:

Halloween is coming and we are reviving the Overton Halloween party, so I hope you will join me in a couple of weeks for the pictures.

So in honour of the big day, this is for you:
