Meri is a super busy house monkey...

Ohhhh this weekend.  It almost killed me.

I survived Easter (there would be no holidays for my family if it weren't for me) and even managed to make some items to list on Etsy...

A new Persian mask (you'll notice I made this one in my favorite colors).  Three of 'em, in fact, since I also made them with burgundy and green.  I listed one on DevArt a week ago & people went nuts for it, so I thought I had better make a few.  They're in Etsy right now.

Also in Etsy; a huge whack of custom orders.  Which is GOOD (assuming I didn't get anything wrong...heh) because my shop has been dead for over a week.  Seriously...one sale in a week & it was a barrette.  What gives?  I guess I'll need to run another FaceBook ad soon.  *le sigh*  Oh well...it's only money. 

Oh, you know...I'd love to be witty & entertaining right now, but I've been photographing/photoshopping/listing/writing copy/cross promoting for over three hours now & I think I'm done.  Really, very weary right now, and I have to drive Char to the mall because she's off this week & is "bored".  I wish I had the time to be bored! 

I think I'll stop at the gym on my way back from the mall...

I went for a ride about 45 minutes, hills and stuff...it was -5...boy, did I feel sick when I got back. That was the first ride longer than 20 minutes this year and it was in such cold weather...ew, my BP plummeted at one point there. (Stupid runny nose from biking...when I try to use a kleenex I have to hold my breath and all of a sudden my BP goes blooey and I feel nauseous.)

I like the Persian mask design. :)

I will be putting up the other Gingko sticks today, probably in the next few hours, so if you're on this evening, look for 'em. :)

Oooo that's not good about the BP. It almost sounds like low blood sugar (I get like that if I work out hard in the cold, sometimes). I went out too & it kicked my butt. Not as cold here as it is there but still. I'm chilled & that makes me even more tired.

I saw the ginkgo sticks...they are awesome! Totally going to put pics & links up to those, when you list them.

Yah, -5 (23 F) is pretty cold for biking. It didn't feel too bad since I wore two sweaters and a wind-breaker and gloves, but it made me feel kinda sick. Plus it was my first longer ride of the year.

I always eat first thing in the morning so I had something not long before I went out...it wasn't likely to be my blood sugar. I eat 5 times a day in little bits so I don't know if I've *ever* experienced a blood sugar drop while exercising. But my BP is naturally low and it has a tendency to drop easily, and the feeling is really distinct...the pressure in the head followed by the really deep sort of nausea...hard to describe...it's sort of like an ice cream headache in both your head and your stomach. While on a roller coaster.

I'm still going to go out tomorrow though. But I was so wiped after the ride that I slept for a couple of hours and didn't get my weights done. But that's just how it had to be, today...

That mask is amazing!

Thank you! It's an older design, re-worked it a bit to update it.

The mask is stunning! I think it's one of my favorites of yours. But then, I have so many favorites of yours. :-)

[merimask.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you like it. ^_^ It's actually quite old (I came up with this one over 10 years ago) but I just updated the design 'cause I've always liked it.

I love the colors in this one~ X3 You'll have to take a photo of that rug sometime so we can see what it looks like! ;D

[merimask.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

The rug is no more, alas. The rug ended up being left behind when I escaped my last life...it was sacrificed to the divorce gods.

Oh dear o_o That is a shame! XO We'll just have to gaze upon your masks and dream about what the rug must have looked like~ <3 I'm sure you did it justice ;D
