Let's try this again...

Okay, so.   The computer crisis is averted for now.  That is a good thing.  It's a lovely day again, which is another good thing.  My daffodils are blooming beautifully.  Here, have some flowers:

I just took this picture...didn't even have to mess with the colors in Photoshop 'cause it was perfect just the way it was.   The daffodils are all over the front yard. 

So yeah...trying hard to calm down & be nicer, since it is SO beautiful today & my computer is limping along again in the usual way & yep.  I hate leaving a bitchy post as my "last word".

In other news; in light of my soul-searching entry regarding the value of my work (is it art or is it craft?), the fact that I spent the entire weekend making these barrettes is really very amusing.

Hahahaha!  I crack myself up.  Seriously, next time I get all "Woe!  I am a hack!", please, one of you just say

"BARRETTES"

and gently remind me that I am a whore.  An artistic, crafty whore but a whore nonetheless.  The ginkgo ones are new and cute though...no?

I just plopped 'em up on my Etsy site. 

BECAUSE I CAN DO THAT NOW.  BECAUSE THE PC IS WORKING AGAIN.

If the wind would just stop blowing so hard, I'd go for a nice long bike ride & calm the heck down, & everything would be just FINE.

*le sigh*

EDIT:  The wind, she has stopped!  As if a prayer has been answered.  My own little meteorological miracle.  So I'm off, for a bike ride, maybe two.  Try & stop me!

Your work is beautiful and I had a lot to say about the value of what we do, as I believe that we can understand it better than some, considering the similarity of our mediums, etc. However I am TOO BUSY, cranking it out for our huge spring festival season. I will get back to it with something profound to say as I have been thinking on this myself for years. So just remember,

"Life is Short...Art Is Long"

Kubiando!

Busy is good, though! ^_^ & I'm glad to know I'm not the only artisan who wrestles with this concept of "art vs craft". It's a fine line you walk when you simultaneously have a job that's creative and also a commercial endeavour.
