Busy in spite of drama.

 *sigh*  & suddenly I am having a really bad time with Charlotte.  I don't understand why.  I've been very consistant all along with her, & I give her plenty of freedoms provided I see that she handles the responsibility.   Her ability to do things is restricted only by her ability to function within the parameters I set, which are generous.  Suddenly, she has a meltdown about it all & I'm the worst mom in the world.  *shakes head*  It's very frustrating.  I feel the need to phone my mom & apologize for ever having been a teenager.

In spite of all that, I have to remain busy.  It's my weapon & my escape.  Here's what I finished last night...

Arm dragon!  I put this little fellow up on my Etsy site just this minute.   I hope these guys do well.   This little green dragon has a pretty face...

...they all turn out a little bit different.  I'm working on a black & copper one right now.  He'll probably go up there tomorrow.

I took pictures of the X-mas lights I put on the house, but I'm not feelin' p'ticularly festive right now so I'll save that for some other day.
