Hello dear gifted artisans!

So.. I have come to a realization, Not a new realization but one that I am re visiting. I realize that in hard times when everything seems like its going down the drain and three months have past you by without any change your about due for some good luck! you cant count on it every time, but however this is a common cycle that takes place. bad things happen in cycles and so do good things!

So, I was wandering around town trying to help a old friend find a good day pack for cheap when we decide to go hit up the Tieangus (flee market) To see if we could find one there.

I was wandering around looking threw old junk when I came across a used electronics stand. When I say used it was mostly just a bunch for really old junk that most people could care less about.
So there I was (shopping with no money is fine when your looking at a bunch of trash)
Then I looked up and way in the back of a shelf covered in dust and surrounded by broken doodads was a shimmer of blue I walked closer to it and saw I was right! a blue hookah!
I asked the shop keeper to let me have a look at it so they pulled up a chair and rummaged around looking for all the parts then they brought the poor dusty old thing down and set it on a table for me to have a better look at.
The hookah was dirty and old and looked like it had been up there for years. I asked the old women how much she wanted for it and she told me 600 pesos (40dlrs) witch is super cheap but not really for me at this time...
After some leaving and coming back haggling and puppy dog eyes I got her down to 400 pesos (26dlrs!) My boyfriend lent me the money and I took it home!

When I washed it off It was like new! so I got a 180dlr Hookah for 26 bucks! yes! ( just so you know I smoke Shisha out of there no monkey business)

So I was super happy just Loving my new toy when the phone rang. On the line was my father he was calling to tell me that a bird breeder friend of his has a bird for me! a Blue and Gold Macaw! and that it wont stop talking! I guess its super gifted and that he needs a house sitter for his beautiful bird farm in northern California for 1 and a half to 2 weeks! So.. I got a new hookah and new bird and a Job that will save me from all my payments all in one day! super BIG yay!!!!

Hello my dear sweet Deviant Art friends,

Let me start but explaining why I SUCK! (in case you don't know) I posted this contest Almost two months Ago and have not finished it! I am so insanely sorry to those that have entered won and have not received your prizes! I Suck! although I do Have a reason.. If you care. I have been laid off from my job.

Needless to say not really any time to sew which I promise I would really love to do!
