V27 Calming Down: the Saturday after Christmas

After all the hurrying I did for Christmas Day I thought that I would just do some tidying up online a little before I started my Studio Work this Saturday.  I thought,  it would just take one second.  I would go to the proper file, and put the Pen and Ink Drawings onto my Wealthy Art sight. Unfortunately it took almost all day to find the files.  I remember doggedly going onto the computer late at night still nervous about some missing files.  So this prompted me into a frenzy of organizing my files, both paper and online that is still going on now (Tuesday).

I had the day all planned. First I would take down the little dog under the mistletoe which is very Christmassy and replace him with the "Ballerina and Time" (a collage done by myself). Then I just would, neat as a baby, go take my snowy scene from the dossiers downstairs, quickly change the muse into one that was better and put it on the wall.  To date neither are done but I have both images near me and I hope to do them by next Saturday.

I couldn't find a lot of stuff and this got into a serious mood. So I put on some Independant Living tapes so that I could spruce up on my social skills.

I did a little creative entertaining however.  I had some wine and cheese left over from Christmas night so I took a little while to set everything up attractively on my window ledge.  the wine was put near the outer window an hour before five o'clock to chill.  at the same time I took the Cheese out so that it could be served at room temperature.  The wine was a French one called L'Escale and the Cheese was a prizing winning Brie with a taste of Vanilla to add a little interest.  With that I paired Cranberry and Walnut Crackers and Walnuts in the shell.  I was lucky to find some Peruvian grapes on sale at the Supermarket.  They were enormous and very sweet.  They were perhaps a little too sweet to go with the cheese but they tasted great by themselves.  And the cheese went very well with the Cranberry and walnut crackers.  It was nice to have red wine.  I drink only on special occasions.

Because I did not get around to the actual creative work on Saturday I did some filming about Val Gal on Sunday.  I am going through the pictures of the Magic Space Exhibit right now.

Finally Sunday afternoon I went down to Complexe Desjardins to find a tablecloth for a  little birthday celebration we were holding the next day.  Because I was down there anyways I took a peak at Marie Claire to see if I could find some business clothes.  I have absolutely no luck in the thrift shops.  they never seem to have my size.  As luck would have it I found some nice clothes.

So, although I had not much time to do actually creative art work this past weekend, I did find an outlet for my creative energies in many other ways.  And I certainly got a lot of organizing done.

 Autumn Quarterly:2015. Production By Kathy Fabian, C.E.O. and Principal Artist The first and Foremost goal of all Art Fabian Company work to to achieve financial success. Blogging My writing will focus on Money making projects such as ValGal and my Google Page My Clothes Right Now for Sale. I will continue my schedule of writing for a different blog each day.  I am trying to keep one month a head for blog posts.  Meanwhile if I find a better place to do something then I will leave the old site intact to leave a virtual footprint. I will slow down writing actual articles and concentrating on improving the presentation for the blogs. Each blog should have an example of art on it for sale.  I will focus only on stuff I feel that I really want to write about or on money making projects.  I will just polish up stuff that highlights just my creative work. I have a lot of blog articles now so they are actually not my main priority.  Organizing pro...

VG14. Beautiful Charting by Kathy Fabian

Hello Dear Readers, This Saturday I decided to do charting.  I had been contacting the support team at Google for a problem about my balance.  I wanted to use my balance on Google Play to pay for a membership with Gliffy flow charts or Mindmeister Mind Maps.  It turned out you need to pay for Gliffy only with a credit card.  And Mindmaster could be bought with the Google Chrome store.  The Google Play store was a different kettle of fish.  I had put on $100.00 on Google play and I could not transfer it in any way to use for either of these mapping programs. I must have been on the phone for five hours trying to figure out how to pay with the Google Play points.  One hundred dollars is a lot of money and I had it budgeted for the mind mapping.  I did not want to buy anything else, no matter how seductive.  Anyways finally I realized they have a  whole lot of gift cards you can buy with the points so the money will be used and on budge...

V31. Living on Less, Ongoing Work, and Deciding the Kind of Exhibit. by Kathy Vivian Fabian

Continuing the Gallery with a Steep Cut in Income I started the new year with a steep cut in my living income.  The question is how to continue working on the gallery without spending as much money as I have in the past.  As I pass the artwork in the Corridor Lobby I see quite a lot of work to do without even having to frame the picture. Just after breakfast today, I cleaned up the identity tags.  there were some from last exhibit and some had not been installed yet.  That done I changed the position of two exhibits that had been not properly placed. I have received a few beautiful tapestries that I want to hang up.  But they are still in storage.  I also have two frames that are not finished.  I have been waiting until my budget permits.  Also, I have been working on inventory with an app I found called ArtMoi.com.  One of my drawings would fit nicely into one of the frames.  So I will work on that today. How to continue working...
