Fringed Purple Tulips Done, Chinese New Year

A finish! First of 2018, and first one in quite a while, at least for anything new, not re makes.  So this is the Fringed Purple Tulips, a diamond painting.  It's a partial, just the flower blooms are done in the raised dots.  It's small, 40x30cm, with round drills.  It's currently on Ebay  not sure it will last long, (will have to see if I can get another one if it does) but I will get it to Etsy then before the end of the month, if it's still up.  Fun stuff.  Think I will go back to the Siamese cat one that I was working on, it was giving me a little trouble, but ready to work on it again.

So, one thing about these Chinese items, is that they follow a different holiday schedule.  And right now, it's the Chinese New Year.  And what does that mean?  No shipping for 2 weeks from my suppliers from there.  Holy cr*p!  But it's true. So all this amazing hard work I have been doing lately on my other site, TurquoiseRoads is somewhat for naught, this second.  Yikes.  I've added a lot of diamond painting kits, working on some sexy dresses, and makeup and such.  You can still order, it will just be near the end of the month before anything ships.

Patience in the day of instant everything.  Anyway, I should have some more updates and perhaps another finish very soon.

WIP of New Start, New Year

First new start of the year, actually, first work of any crafting of the new year.  I got this last year, on ebay, I call it Fringed Purple Tulips, a partial diamond painting. Really love the colors, just the flowers are filled in, in purples.  Round drill, 40x30cm.  It's a mood lifter, and I am enjoying a little peace and quiet, working on it.  Since it's small, hopefully I will have it finished and listed for sale, in the next few days; I'll post an update when it's ready, along with some other updates about business in general.

Life is still tough.  I have moved again.  Back near where I was, but not the exact part of town, as I couldn't handle doing that.  A temporary place, with nearly no distraction.  Not sure how long that will be, but at least a few months.  I hope to make some real progress in mentally, emotionally, and crafting/business healing.  Things are going well in the business sense, just a little tough when I have so many pieces to keep together, alone, and my expenses are so high right now. 

But it's a new year.  I'm working through it.  Hoping that this year brings some smoother sailing as I start to get myself righted.....instead of looking back at how painful(and scary) last year was.  Peace to all that are struggling.
