Hooray!!! We will be there every Saturday morning of the year selling lampwork & fused glass items, chainmail, various types of jewelry, baby clothes, gift cards, stationary sets, recycled bottle cap magnets, picture frames, ceramics and more! Everything is handmade by Phoenix area local artists and crafters! We are really excited and have scheduled a meeting for next week so we can get working on exactly what we need and our budget. I have been the team leader of EVA for nearly four years. We started out with a small group of very talented and wonderful women. We have added new members quite slowly. Some past members have sadly gone on to other things, but the group of members we have right now is an amazing group of artists and crafters who are energized and want to make things happen. There were days in the past where I would have a meeting and one person would show up, or where we had an event that wasn't all that successful and I would go away feeling like EVA was done for and I was throwing in the towel. So, I would drag myself to the next month's meeting ready to inform anyone that showed up that I was done ... and then I would see 13 eager women sitting there sharing some amazing resources and ideas with one another. Quitting plan foiled again. ;o) And thankfully so. Something just shifted in the energy of the group several months ago and here we are making headway to our first joint business effort. I am soooooo excited!!!!<br /><br />For more information on EVA visit us at our various sites:<br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/teams/5186/east-valley-artisans">http://www.etsy.com/teams/5186/east-valley-artisans</a><br /><a href="http://www.eastvalleyart.blogspot.com/">http://www.eastvalleyart.blogspot.com/</a><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#%21/group.php?gid=224379351234">http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#!/group.php?gid=224379351234</a>Kandes Naylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08566339952642099325noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318869890814621894.post-70094031449219064672011-01-05T09:13:00.000-08:002011-01-05T16:21:05.630-08:00So close to 50! Giveway for 49 and 50th followers.I hope everyone had a great New Year's Eve. I did. And ... I had every intention of adding a slew of new items to my Etsy shop on New Year's Day, but technical difficulties arose. I am out of space on my hard drive so can't put any of the photos from my camera onto my computer. So, we wait, patiently. My husband is shopping for a new hard drive for me, and fortunately I have a techie hubby who will install it for me in the next day or two. So I will have new items soon! It was strange. My son's computer stopped working, my has slowed to a near halt and I fried our external hard drive. Ooops! I thought it was very Y2K.<br /><br />On another note, I have been keeping rather busy and getting ready to start my doula workshop next month. I have a bunch of books to read beforehand. I am excited. It is just another of many things I will do in my life. I am not the type of person to get any job and keep it for the rest of my life. I couldn't live such a boring life. Maybe it wouldn't be boring if you loved what you were doing. I love making jewelry, but it is a hobby and I fear making it into a career might make me love it a tiny bit less. But, we only have this life to live once and I want to experience many, many different things. I keep slowly adding ideas to the book that I will complete one day, which is taking on a very new form. It is a semi-autobiographical novel. There were a lot of things I was upset about only weeks ago that have changed right before me. I feel very grateful for all that has happened in my life and brought me to the place that I am. I was feeling angry and cheated, but the more I reframe things I have realized that all the things that angered me about my past were my little treasures. I have learned so much and that is what life is all about. I am sleep deprived and time crunched, but very happy with all the love that surrounds me ... and so far, I have come out of my battles on top, even though sometimes it takes time to reveal that. There is nothing that I would have changed in my past or done over for fear that it would change my current circumstance. And I wouldn't want that.<br /><br />Anyway - I am only 2 people away from having 50 followers, it is a milestone that I have been dancing closer to, but never quite achieving it. I will have 48, 49, 48, 49, now we are at 48, and I am ready to move into the 50s. So I am offering a pair of Swarovski crystal earrings to my 49th and 50th followers. I would show you what they look like, but at this moment, I can't. :o( Check out <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/trickyfox">my Etsy shop</a> or <a href="http://www.trickyfox.com/">website </a>if you would like to see my style.<br />To be eligible you must leave a comment that you are following me.

Changes are a comin'!I haven't been posting much. Been thinking too much and working on new ideas for 2011. I recently took stained glass classes so have a new hobby. Like I needed another one. It is a lot of fun! I still need to finish the project I started in that class. Just needs hooks and patina and then I will post it in all of its beginner glory! :o)<br /><br />So here is a list for 2011 ...<br />- Finish my BA. That thing is haunting me. I am so scared of math. I have to do that and finish Spanish. Yep, that is it! I better get on it before they add more classes to my curriculum.<br /><br />- I am starting my DONA certification for becoming a doula. The workshop is in February. I am really looking forward to it.<br /><br />- Start a Sunday social community event. We are looking to start up a non-religious, non-political community event that focuses on art, music and bettering our community. More to come on this as it develops.<br /><br />- Get an EVA booth going at the Phoenix Farmer's market. We just need to figure out a schedule and compensation plan. Then pool our resources to make it happen.<br /><br />Other personal goals ...<br />- Start eating more organic and local grown foods<br /><br />- Doing yoga at least twice a week in prep for 2012 yoga teacher training<br /><br />- lose 9 more pounds (I have lost 31 now)<br /><br />- Realign my forces - what does this mean? I am looking forward to creating new relationships with uplifting people.<br /><br />- Get a pedicure. Haha! I need one and have been putting it off because once the boys in my life are taken care of, there are other things like laundry, sleep, and making things that need my attention.<br /><br />So what are your goals for the New Year?Kandes Naylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08566339952642099325noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318869890814621894.post-52720447551786762712010-11-12T08:24:00.000-08:002010-11-12T08:30:46.648-08:00Zootique is tomorrow at the Phoenix ZooTomorrow is Zootique!

I have been out of the loop. I haven't posted here or there or anywhere, really. I took a couple weeks to work on my craft fair set up. My son was at his dad's for the week, so I took over his room as a staging area.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN1UkZF9MiNKUwLKUWk7RRCRnA-zNBRXwjaWXA34GNTpDI0z3dLouPzRq_5spJXeFhFi1va2V9QQpC3Sfl1iuMuKcjUCjNVyJSf1kPhLoMbTR0F-jEkHBFDgOVwpw8yvAFQdzBv63Vd7U/s1600/_MG_2452.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN1UkZF9MiNKUwLKUWk7RRCRnA-zNBRXwjaWXA34GNTpDI0z3dLouPzRq_5spJXeFhFi1va2V9QQpC3Sfl1iuMuKcjUCjNVyJSf1kPhLoMbTR0F-jEkHBFDgOVwpw8yvAFQdzBv63Vd7U/s320/_MG_2452.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535389483218075682" border="0" /></a>Then I did the ArtBridge artwalk in Scottsdale, which I am doing again tomorrow night. It kinda threw me. I was prepared for two 4 foot tables in a row, but they stuck me in an odd spot where I had viability on two sides, so I rearranged things in an L-shape. I didn't like it as much, but made it work.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjroyw7JYbPf71jiheU06v1Khs6TozFFQg5gTQtxO5ZnDFRUxIaAnlYYrV5nUpy5HmtyjNhu2Qiz-NDO8EIH3xuqBXP0C8oLvek1ICzcW6Ytyht-58GIH0tnPk5A5o8AkqQtqMmrpKxkcM/s1600/_MG_2461.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjroyw7JYbPf71jiheU06v1Khs6TozFFQg5gTQtxO5ZnDFRUxIaAnlYYrV5nUpy5HmtyjNhu2Qiz-NDO8EIH3xuqBXP0C8oLvek1ICzcW6Ytyht-58GIH0tnPk5A5o8AkqQtqMmrpKxkcM/s320/_MG_2461.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535398200393194994" border="0" /></a>Then, of course, I have been busy with events for Eldon Fox's first Halloween! It has been a hot October and now into November it is still in the low 90's. My older son, Patrick, carved the cutest pumpkin with a little raccoon on it, but this is what the desert does to pumpkins after two days. My green one's were fine, but his ripe orange pumpkin couldn't hang in the heat.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiBGZJHtB4E6qXnNn2fvxx0xWcgtMpGamwIa-FAGvvRYkQKq2UYV3jAcuqb2wrhyphenhyphen3w1uivhWb-5dwwyF3VSSO8sOIDjn6dWyaO76U7M7drMWRFyKZKMxhDFx7ZKc6kb284kZ6zfvnkRqk/s1600/_MG_2499.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiBGZJHtB4E6qXnNn2fvxx0xWcgtMpGamwIa-FAGvvRYkQKq2UYV3jAcuqb2wrhyphenhyphen3w1uivhWb-5dwwyF3VSSO8sOIDjn6dWyaO76U7M7drMWRFyKZKMxhDFx7ZKc6kb284kZ6zfvnkRqk/s320/_MG_2499.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535400114427249602" border="0" /></a>We had a fun Halloween! We went to my brother's house and went trick-or-treating with his two year olds. Eldon was a monkey, I was a witch and my husband was zombie Jesus. Eldon got his first cold which appeared later than night. It has been a lot of nose blowing around here. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZd0ue1zQ6F2hhrZmkLNl4joqXWsWIdsDjIHuMTbfgoZbcE3v_VBY4jLdM5X99HP7J7ZQUxIlr_9awpBYh3ba-RasiUdPy-Zv8nlmgKnvCDXq2QPjWbHjFdIwsFuxVXH59fix6aVA928k/s1600/IMG_2542.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZd0ue1zQ6F2hhrZmkLNl4joqXWsWIdsDjIHuMTbfgoZbcE3v_VBY4jLdM5X99HP7J7ZQUxIlr_9awpBYh3ba-RasiUdPy-Zv8nlmgKnvCDXq2QPjWbHjFdIwsFuxVXH59fix6aVA928k/s320/IMG_2542.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535400124309518306" border="0" /></a>Kandes Naylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08566339952642099325noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318869890814621894.post-15720351789469681482010-10-15T18:50:00.000-07:002010-10-16T10:09:09.456-07:00Halloween Party Post + a Mummy giveaway!!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://afancifultwist.typepad.com/a_fanciful_twist/"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 218px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIC81WbicN79yrrDY0kbNiINMcqFPBCff5rfYvWr_4YnKNe3YzZ6IadcKJsfUnFGGtWTRnyAafvmDEFnT0e7Dv8Q4mcAy4awbBHRrPHuNLdMI3L-ZnmQGotSzQDivip9FP8mtyiAkAzT0/s320/6a00d83451d99869e20133f4609ca2970b-400wi.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528481710237207970" border="0" /></a><br />Well, it is still too hot in the desert for hot soup during the day, or even long sleeves, closed toed shoes, hot coffee in the afternoon, oatmeal in the morning, and it's not even a good time of year for pie for dessert, wonderful pie ... apple pie, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, rhubarb pie ... and it's even too hot for daytime craft fairs. However, the nights are cooling off. No need for a sweater, a tank top will still do, but it is a sign that Halloween is on the way. We love our Halloween around here. It is the date that truly signifies that it will surly be under 8o degrees during the day until February, at least. And, oh boy, by October we are ready for a break from the heat. Why do I live here, again? I often ask that question without coming up with a good answer.<br /><br />To summon Halloween we must prepare ... so Tezcatlipoca Pitt-Jolie is preparing for a good party! Oh, that's right! <a href="http://afancifultwist.typepad.com/a_fanciful_twist/">Vanessa at A Fanciful Twist is having her Halloween party TODAY!</a> Hahaha!

She handed me a little blue bag and said, "Here is the rest of your birthday present." I was delighted to see that she had purchased these little earrings from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/onegarnetgirl?ga_search_query=Onegarnetgirl&ga_search_type=seller_usernames">OneGarnetGirl</a> on Etsy to give to me as a birthday present. She just hadn't completed the order on time for them on time to get them to me by my birthday. I haven't been wearing earrings because the baby likes to grab anything that dangles and my small diamonds kept ending up in his crib. The back kept slipping off and that is scary! I don't think an earring post would feel very good at the other end and who know what damage would happen on the way down. But these earrings are perfect and feel very secure. What is most awesome about these earrings is that they match my wedding ring which I had custom made by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/onegarnetgirl?ga_search_query=Onegarnetgirl&ga_search_type=seller_usernames">OneGarnetGirl</a>. All I need now is a matching necklace. :o)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/57022430/tiny-drop-earrings-london-blue-topaz-in?ga_search_query=london%2Bblue&ga_search_type=user_shop_ttt_id_5263754"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje0XgWrPYWKxSRk8bZjf9dtfAgrBaj-godEGdvkyS30EDVTLWLsMUp2cDb8VolGDFnkqXEbqGV2T-jn0tSmnfjuMVMklcM6dmlJ7fLk8AIb8k192bjbmSkFCOUi0Oz-ZPii8qY123o36Q/s400/il_430xN.176798156.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527581340262457474" border="0" /></a><br />On my birthday, I thought my mother had already spoiled me!

Sadly, I didn't plant any pumpkins this year. I had a tiny infant during planting season and was thinking about all things "mommy." I am still thinking mommy, of course, but also about the short fall season that is coming upon us in the desert. It will be a few week still before I start to wear long sleeves, eat hot soup for lunch and make pumpkin pies, but I can still be in the mood, right? Fortunately, Sandy, an Etsy Project Embrace member included my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/56281553/halloween-pumpkin-lampwork-glass-pendant">lampwork bead pumpkin necklace</a> in her <span style="font-weight: bold;">Pumpkin Glam </span>treasury.

Not a real witch. A fake witch. You see, dressing up like Elphaba is the best way we REAL witches know to throw off any suspicions of our craftiness.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivJzPTgkzu3gwif3Q1aMvhPRrgmuHF7RDGeEaRKiLli5v7TfUIy66gvQieVBitS2qxpTTmmyJokcJE6dWo9okDjftqet5f4GI0wt2CHkYUTzB9MBa-tEty9BlAspMZo8lV3g0sWEV5SLE/s1600/Wicked+Witch+of+the+West.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 294px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivJzPTgkzu3gwif3Q1aMvhPRrgmuHF7RDGeEaRKiLli5v7TfUIy66gvQieVBitS2qxpTTmmyJokcJE6dWo9okDjftqet5f4GI0wt2CHkYUTzB9MBa-tEty9BlAspMZo8lV3g0sWEV5SLE/s400/Wicked+Witch+of+the+West.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520904357703521010" border="0" /></a><br />Unfortunately, it is not like the ending of the movie <span style="font-style: italic;">Practical Magic </span>where you can come out and everyone supports you. There are truly vicious, mean, evil witch hunters out there and we ALL know what witch hunters do to witches. The most disappointing, but eye opening, vacation memory for me was visiting Salem and The Salem Witch Museum. Salem is like witch Disneyland. Everything is for show and there are an awful lot of fake witches there. And The Salem Witch Museum reminds us, in a very cheesy way, why we witches must pretend it is all pretend and cheese it up. Nobody wants to to end up like Joan of Arc.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><object height="385" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9GMBYuZoTbo?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9GMBYuZoTbo?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="385" width="480"></embed></object><br /></div><br />So here is my favorite fake "witch" memory.

When I saw it and read her words, I was deeply moved. A lot of times I feel I need to be more mindful of certain feelings and thoughts that I allow to occupy my mind for longer than they should. When a situation concerns me or a person upsets me, I think about it A LOT. I analyze it and waste way too much time on it. What I need to do is spend more time releasing those thoughts and feelings from my mind. My life is full of love and beauty. Static caused by insignificant others can float on.<br />Thank you, Diana for including me in this warm and mindful treasury!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4c9a5c49efc86d918c2ba8e1/when-spirit-moves-me?index=0"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 378px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsosyEbBIAyqmNDBRohQeX-l_vmrJNKzcZRWBeJp3xS5B6oziUWQxWmeEnvYf7p4BF3A4TgaYJYcGaNLUzo6X-fUjrRGOdXLlyUsibwzB8OarH_-_RRAOsEmYE95vcH_ffMgxXXBBi95Y/s400/Screen+shot+2010-09-22+at+2.44.22+PM.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519858294217541010" border="0" /></a><br />Diana makes gorgeous pottery.

We got home from Telluride on Sunday night. No matter how amazing the place is, it is always so nice to get home and sleep in your own bed.<br /><br />The Sugar Thieves played two hours Friday night at The Llama in Telluride. It was a night time event on a side stage at The 16th Annual Telluride Blues and Brews Festival. The baby was tired from the car ride and needed to get back to the hotel, so my teenager and I only got to stick around for three songs. The band sounded and looked phenomenal for at least those three songs. Ha ha! The Sugar Thieves are a really amazing band. I am not just saying that because I am the bass players wife. He has been in bands I don't like and I if I don't like it I don't say anything at all. But, they are so much fun to listen to. Meridith has an amazing, amazing voice! Mikel writes some really wonderful tunes, plays some funky guitar and has Tom Waits style vocals that compliment Meridith's sultry sound perfectly. Then there is the band to top it off. They are all extraordinary musicians! I love how Jeff looks like he is always having so much fun while playing with this band. Next year, we are looking forward to being on the main stage at Telluride Blues and Brews.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDnSlc9YS32ffOqLUtNdJsKKG9ryMIKhOEx5BP4qGkwWwANReds8S_YXq3QqQGqFjlCqVxrCWEot8mTxcywWbpLBBso9wu8dg0_logTLe1f3DoUr1gwsR8Xs8Oo1uNUdv29_augyf8OeY/s1600/_MG_2118.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDnSlc9YS32ffOqLUtNdJsKKG9ryMIKhOEx5BP4qGkwWwANReds8S_YXq3QqQGqFjlCqVxrCWEot8mTxcywWbpLBBso9wu8dg0_logTLe1f3DoUr1gwsR8Xs8Oo1uNUdv29_augyf8OeY/s400/_MG_2118.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519424789076303410" border="0" /></a>On Saturday, we were in and out of the festival. They were serving lunch and dinner backstage so we made sure we were there for feeding time and caught some of the other bands playing. Of course I was checking out all of the vendors to see what crafty things were selling. Perhaps I will put in an application for next year since we will be there anyway. As usual, they were selling festive tie-dye and Eldon got a blue tie-dye hat to protect his bald little head from the sun. Perhaps he will get more use out of it than his festival Onsie we bought him earlier this year that is already a wee bit snug. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgplXCv3e8C5H96v_8FdLWB9wsSF36IvF3yeVJtriNQvQB_iApVQVZSMuSe4DeX3gVqbnimzUred0FZ0K9-kmrJ58eboMyMSzwnyhKxTpdUoqg_7piH4EKjBdhinc-7tluNUcRZ9h_-J6w/s1600/_MG_2133.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgplXCv3e8C5H96v_8FdLWB9wsSF36IvF3yeVJtriNQvQB_iApVQVZSMuSe4DeX3gVqbnimzUred0FZ0K9-kmrJ58eboMyMSzwnyhKxTpdUoqg_7piH4EKjBdhinc-7tluNUcRZ9h_-J6w/s400/_MG_2133.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519435678908740562" border="0" /></a>Even though we were enjoying the festival, it is just too hard not to do some exploring in a place that beautiful so we left the fest and took a ride on the gondola and walked around town checking out the cute little houses.

My husband is the bass player for the Sugar Thieves and they are part of the amazing lineup at the festival. I am so ready to take in some great music and the gorgeous scenery of Telluride, CO! Oh, and 65 degrees sounds like a wonderful retreat from our 100 degree September days here in the desert.<br /><br />The the last weekend in September we are off to <a href="http://www.powellapalooza.com/">Lake Powell </a>to listen to some great music in a natural amphitheater! I think my son's (and me, too) are so lucky to experience some of the best music there is in some of nature's most beautiful places. What a way to develop an appreciation for music.<br /><br />Here is a snippet of the Sugar Thieves playing at the Riverside Blues Festival in St. Mary's, Ohio last weekend.

</tbody></table><h1> </h1>Now on to my big news ....<br />
<br />
When I was younger, I used to write poetry. Prior to putting my pen to paper or fingers to a keyboard, I always felt like there were tiny bubbles inside of me that were waiting to be released. I stopped writing poems, and for the past eight years I have been accumulating more and more bubbles. They just keep multiplying, yet I haven't felt like writing a poem and giving myself a much needed release. But lately, my fingers have been tingling and my head swimming in an overwhelming fog of bubbles.<br />
<br />
I was feeling especially anxious this morning and a touch on the angry side. I am certainly no bear, so I was not sure what was happening. I couldn't find my pocketbook as I was trying to get out the door and my anger began to escalate. My heart was racing, my vision began to blur and my head felt like it was being squeezed in a vice. I quickly recognized that this is not like me. What was happening to me? I sat on the edge of my bed for a minute and started asking myself why I was feeling like this. (Sigh) I know what is going on in my life and what has been going on. Unfortunately, I have been trapped in a situation I have no control over. I often feel like windshield wipers in a blizzard, constantly trying to keep my mind pure and happy when there is nothing I can do to completely eliminate the issue that has been one huge ongoing obstacle to my happiness. The feeling of being powerless is continuous. While sitting on the side of my bed, I recalled the location of my pocketbook. When I stood up to get it, a notion quickly entered my mind and I knew what it is that I am to do. I believe the reason for that I haven't written poetry in years, is because what I have growing inside is me greater than poetry. My first novel is about to flow from my fingertips and release me from my emotional prison. When it is done, I will be wearing a sly grin and finally feel like I have my power back.Kandes Naylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08566339952642099325noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318869890814621894.post-44146682132973827882010-09-02T11:50:00.000-07:002010-09-02T11:54:23.381-07:00Trej ♡<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>I have been featured in two recent treasuries made by Etsy Project Embrace members.

I had no idea today was September 1st and the day is almost over! Well, it is my birth-month, but my birthday isn't until the last day of the month. But it is the month of gorgeous blue sapphires. Blue is my absolute favorite color. My husband would always ask me if he could buy something and tease that he would "get it in blue." Once, he bought a dumpy old diesel truck and promised to paint it blue so I would like it. Then one year, he bought me a set of fancy Maglite flashlights for my birthday. What woman wants flashlights for her birthday? I dunno, but he was certainly thinking of me because they were, indeed, blue.<br />
<br />
I posted a couple new items in my etsy shop today. All of them in blue. :o)<br />

</tbody></table>Lastly, I thought I would post the keychain I made for my father's 60th birthday. I gave it to him along with a wooden box my father-in-law made. He makes some wonderful items. We have shelves, a dresser, and a toy box that he has made. Well, here is the soldered keychain with a picture of my sons. The other side has a photo of my twin nieces.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I am grateful to be part of <a href="http://etsyprojectembrace.blogspot.com/">Etsy Project Embrace</a>. I was shocked and excited to have recently won the EPE treasury challenge. I mean, I am a total noob (as my teenager would say) ha ha! No, but seriously, I am a big time newbie with this team! But having been voted as the winner has given me an even greater glimpse of how amazing this team is. I have organized a treasury challenge on a small scale for my local team, so I know that organizing a treasury challenge with the amount of entries EPE receives is a pretty big project. But EPE is a true team! Everyone volunteers to help out to make things happen. It is pretty awesome! I like to see people working together for a common goal. The EPE goal is to increase awareness and support for those who have been diagnosed with cancer. Through our treasuries, blog posts, Etsy shops, social media postings, etc our team gains exposure so we can further spread this message. It is great to see people work together and so many Etsy shop owners donating to American Cancer Society and other cancer awareness and support related organizations.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have been appointed one of three judges for the current treasury challenge round, along with the other <a href="http://etsyprojectembrace.blogspot.com/2010/08/our-joy-ous-treasury-challenge-winners.html">winners of the JOY treasury challenge</a>. For this round, I selected the theme Imagine. I have been looking through all the Imagine treasuries and am awed by the wonderful eye some of our team members have, however most of them <i>ARE</i> artists. And very talented ones at that. So why should I be surprised? Maybe, more like, overwhelmed with thinking I have to pick three favorites and an alternate (sigh). That is going to be tough. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">These next two treasuries feature items created by Tricky Fox Designs. I am very honored to be part of such wonderful collections. Thank you, Suz, of <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/simplysuzula">simplysuzula</a>, for including my shell and stone bracelet. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I have been looking for a nightly lullaby collection for a long time. I wanted something I would remember as the CD I listened to as I rocked Eldon to bed every night. And also something we could appreciate musically. Well, thus far we have seen songs by Jewel and Johnson & Johnson and Disney. I loved the Disney collection of lullabies when my teenager was tiny, but now when I hear it, it sounds so 90s. I never thought in the 90s there would be a sound that sounds 90s, but there is. Jewel is just too dumb and passé and everything else a bit too mainstream, which is <i>not</i> something we Naylor's are known for. What I ended up getting is</span><span style="font-size: small;"> "Rockabye Baby - Lullaby Renditions of Radiohead CD." </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Rockabye-Lullaby-Renditions-Radiohead-Onesie/dp/B003NH2OVA"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZJkiAwdbpjpj1XJmuWnCaaXcSELH4cVLbaN2yQjGXGnwi_ulwFjDLcHzKn8Vnd6gUQZf0yWqZMPliLiEB0hhP9uRJ9LYzEC-eo_0uMaEIHxkks2d8mWilcKSmrZw0pak9YvrJAugZmus/s320/pTRU1-7711472reg.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">So, we are listening to "serene interpretations" of </span><i style="font-family: inherit;">No Surprises, Karma Police, </i><span style="font-family: inherit;">and</span><i style="font-family: inherit;"> Paranoid Android </i><span style="font-family: inherit;">without vocals. Gotta love that! And these Rockabye Baby people have also put out lullaby versions of Bjork, The Beatles, Bob Marley, Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Journey, Guns and Roses, U2, Queen, Pink Floyd, No Doubt, Metallica, Tool, NIN, The Pixies, Elvis, Black Sabbath ... and the list goes on and on and on! I think I just might get the Journey album for when my dad babysits! And nevermind that there is Hushabye Baby with songs by Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson. Let's keep that under our hats. I must not let my peddle steel playing in a country band husband know about that. :o) </span></span>Kandes Naylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08566339952642099325noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318869890814621894.post-27729480778803030232010-08-24T20:52:00.000-07:002010-08-24T20:54:51.986-07:00Treasury Love<div style="text-align: center;">I was featured in an amazing treasury tonight by fellow Etsy Project Embrace member, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/AudreyGardenLady?page=2">AudreyGardenLady</a>, on Etsy.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4c744e858d756d919536a0ac/for-the-cure"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6p7A3WP0gaY9fL7lm-6elD4SFnOvdIcKUIhyorRzfloI4PgqTs7OtKA-04_52GZFpyXigGZ5AJrHPnqzvWaonCcpYvQYUmyyCJLgp7yU4T2daqpKhSCRy_tNZxZaVHh-1vSq0sWril-I/s640/Screen+shot+2010-08-24+at+8.37.07+PM.png" width="619" /></a></div>The collection is very beautiful!
