I set aside my thoughts and did this. I made a video of myself. I am still not real happy with how I look and stuff but, I am me, you all know and love me for who I am not my looks or my weight.<br />
Someone (cant recall who offhand) asked about a video on using and winding my 3 hole and other shuttles.<br />
Here it is.<br />
Any and all thoughts would be appreciated: should it be a bit better? its a little over 9 minutes<br />

Heck no I could not, nor do I have a desire to ever be like a princess. Anyways Here is the latest creation FINALLY perfected its been over a week in the working. the 3rd try was ok but too curvey but actually 4th try is how far it went and I am satisfied with how that looks. I used some pretty icicle garland that seriously looks like a real icicle I LOVE IT!!! My mind is on creative over load right now, I am trying to fight it, I need to work on Christmas presents.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Despite the yukky cold and rainy dreary and howling windy day, it was great. I tatted for awhile and came up with something, now this is only the 1st draft but its going to be a SPIDER no not the creepy halloweenish ones this one will be more delicate and pretty I have had this idea for awhile to work on the Legends of Christmas. Some are made up, some are true. Who cares really they are fun stories SPIDER can be found here <a href="http://www.worldofchristmas.net/christmas-stories/legend-of-spider.html">http://www.worldofchristmas.net/christmas-stories/legend-of-spider.html</a> and peek around that whole site, pretty neat things on there.<br />
<br />
Despite the fact that I am enjoying my day of peace, I cant wait until my kids and husband are home. I miss them. I got supper nearly done, we are having fire roasted chicken and shell pasta with veggies (sort of a pasta salad minus the meat and cheese) Dishes are done, laundry is near done for the day, etc...<br />
<br />
My dogs are cuddled up with me at the moment I love the little stinkers and how they just love unconditionally are are happy if they get a scrap of food from the table. They always know when its a special day or when you are feeling blue.<br />
<br />
My parents got me for my birthday an artificial tree its BLUE my favorite color. My kids made me cards and ornaments. I got tons of birthday wishes on here and facebook and in my email which makes me so happy and feel so loved. THANKS!!!<br />

WOW my day went fast today, sheesh!!<br />
I have been busy tatting ALOT! <br />
Getting into too many things with tatting also. What is wrong with me perhaps its Tatting A.D.D. who knows lol<br />
<br />
Thursday and Friday Debbie was here with her son Chris. OMG what a great time we all had between my kids being goof balls Thursday night and us all being crazy Friday I was so sore from laughing it was GREAT FUN!!<br />
<br />
Saturday my mom had a wonderful dinner for me and a delightful lemon poppyseed cake too. I loved it and I thank you MOM :0)<br />
<br />
Hubby has been being his usuall cheery self (sarcasm), no birthday present from him, BLAH to that, I wanted to talk to a certain person who in the past has always been there for me and I am there for them. But I think for the last year or so they are no longer there for me, I just need to face it, sometimes those are the hardest things to do. I know we all get older, grow up and move on but I feel things like this shouldnt go on at times.<br />

Now its a functional area and my new favorite tatting place. I had to shop today so I spent about $30 to make my couch look nice, its also a futon but the kids put a tear in it, I covered it with a bed matress cover thing at first. I think I was in a fallish mood and without even realizing it matches my carpet :) I bought an ordinary pretty brown fitted sheet, 2 pretty green pillows and a pretty green throw which reminds me of the ones my grandma used to have. *sigh* I miss my grandma and my dog especially at times like what I am going through no matter what even if I was wrong they always made me feel better. :'(</div></div><br />

It took them about a week to finally get to what was the matter. She is great one day and not very good the next. Keep her in your thoughts for a full and speedy recovery... THANKS<br />
<br />
<strong><em><u><span style="font-size: x-large;">About the pricing of my shuttles: </span></u></em></strong><br />
I had some people tell me my new resin coated shuttles aren't worth what I am charging... I am not good at pricing and if someone makes a comment on the prices of things I tend to make them lower, then I feel I am selling myself short. <br />
YES polymer clay is not THAT expensive and it does go a bit far but lets look beyond the cost of supplies for a moment... You have to figure in alot of factors, <br />
Time: Lets see here I made 4 batches of shuttles allthough I use cutters and templates for my shuttle shapes, it takes time to roll out the clay, cut, stamp, add pretties etc... My shuttles bake for an hour or so on very low heat so you have to figure electrical cost and wear and tear on my toaster oven. I still have to color and add further pretties. Which can take several hours, Seal them with an acrylic sealer outside since its aerosol and it smells icky too. Drying time is needed. Coat them with resin, this takes a long time I worked on this today and it took me about 5 hours to just do what you see pictured in the photo below. I still have to drill the holes, cut the slices, sand and perfect the shuttle, as well as package it in a bag with a piece of sand paper damp absorbing material and little info paper. So far to this point I have put in atleast 35 hours on the 4 batches of shuttles seen below, and there are alot more steps to go. <br />
Now lets just figure 35 hours x $7.25 / hr (minimum wage in pa) = $148.75.. I looked up online about pricing your things and they say not to charge less than $10 per hour of your time if the supplies cost that or more, so that would be more like $350.00 for my time so far. So at this point the 4 batches of shuttles (30 individual shuttles) that would be $11.67 per shuttle and I am no where near finished.<br />
Supplies:<br />
Resin is not cheap as well as the clay alot does go a long way, but this is a very tedious step. As I said clay is not THAT expensive but its not cheap either. Electricity for lights and the toaster oven is not cheap. I use cornstarch so the clay does not stick, glitters, paints, stamps, ink, paper towels, gloves, my drill, sand paper, exacto knives, blades, scissors, punches, papers, glues, micro marbles, stickers, confetti, beads etc... And then you have packaging and postage, bubble wrap, driving to the post office etc...<br />
Next time you think something costs too much, take a moment to think of all the work that goes into an item. <br />
Here is the link on pricing that I spoke of above if you are interested <a href="http://www.whatthecraft.com/arts/pricing.htm">http://www.whatthecraft.com/arts/pricing.htm</a><br />
Here are the 4 batches post resin coating it will have to dry for another day or so... Before you count and say there arent 30 there there are 50... 20 of them are pendants for my daughter and her friend that they made over the weekend... those were not included in the 5 hour time today...<br />

Oops, so instead of ruining the shuttle by wiping it off and smudging the paint, I left it dry... The shuttle looked BEAUTIFUL, and like I usually do I did a bend and break test I pretty much folded it in half and no breakage, it was a larger one so I can imagine a smaller shuttle would break sooner. It was more bendable, I really love this new discovery... I will have them available soon in my Clay Shop <a href="http://heathersclaydesigns.etsy.com/">http://heathersclaydesigns.etsy.com/</a> I plan on putting some up today, keep in mind alot more work goes into these new shuttles and they now take me over a week to complete from printing, making, baking, coloring, resining, and drying. So therefore they will be a bit more expensive than before...<br />

My customers have been more then understanding with my not being able to get online and check orders...<br />
<br />
Alot has been going on, good and bad and sad. I am not getting into all of it now because as I have heard people say I am either a <em>drama queen</em> a <em>bit*h</em> or a <em>"i dont know what you call it"</em> so if you know me you know what all I am referring to... Lately I know I have lost some people in my life not death but in a way it feels like that, I was so close to these people and I just didnt want to face how they were until it happened in front of me and in front of my kiddos, I am so thankful for my best friend who listens to me complain all the time... David wants another job (AGAIN) I got upset because I know what happened last time he got in this funk and I DO NOT want to do it again, I cant... He said to me last night "I will just go to Harrisburg" I said "then you will never be home" He looked at me strangely and replied "you HAVE your own job" and then went to sleep... I spent the next few hours trying not to explode into a fit of tears, I actually caught myself holding my breath. He told me this morning he was only saying that. Either way it made me feel sad.<br />
<br />
Nate had his med appointment on Friday I got lost going there and coming from Johnstown, it wasnt fun AT ALL I got scared, it was horrible. <br />
Saturday Shannan had her 1st sleepover, we survived, the girl is so nice and sweet.<br />
<br />
Onto other things now<br />

I did a few different versions and with the crappy weather of humidity we had I bed I had to pitch about 4 of them but here is the final one, I am so proud of the design of this, she wanted it larger than I had my own template for so I had to expand it a bit...<br />

Gee who will it be :o)<br />
<br />
I have more photos to take of the shuttles and stuff today, I am seriously thinking of opening an artfire shop with my clay, does anyone use Artfire? Suggestions, comments??? I know unlike etsy you DO NOT have to have an account with them.<br />
<br />
Most of the weekend and yesterday I was busy with the thread hopefully if I get time today I will get it into skeins and be able to put it in my shop along with the other ones I been meaning to get up. Hmmmm what color(s) is it??? Wait and see.<br />
<br />
I have also been messing with wood shapes, ovals mostly, I *WAS* attempting to make some tiny wood shuttles but it seemed to just be a bit too flimsy and probably crack in no time, ohhhh well I tried but I am not going to stop trying.<br />
<br />
I hope to be back later with some tatting to show, better yet I WILL be back later with tatting to show...<br />
