Creating Little Heureux

There has been quite a bit on my mind these days, these weeks. Although yesterday was a longer day for me (by measure of working hours), it was a good day.

Today, tougher. My carelessness cost me 50-bucks. It may seem negligible to many of you, but for me there was so many reasons why this should not have happened. The most disappointing part was that this is not the first time I was so careless in this way. If I could do it twice, what's stopping the third? I wasn't happy with myself.

That said, whatever that I worked on yesterday, all those hours has had me excited about the job I have on hand- the MAD event. It seems like the more I put in, the more excited I am to see the outcome. Today we met with the client, and the idea was sold. Although it means that more work will start from now, I am so happy. If the venue management were to sink MAD event, I will not let it go. We will just do it somewhere else.

With thoughts buzzing in my head and a stack of proposals that are FAR overdue, I decided to do what I do when my thoughts are busy.

I like to make things with my hands, especially when my mind is heavy in thought. I would start my fingers on a crafty project which usually requires quiet concentration, that paces and focuses my stream of thoughts on the craft I'm working on.

Today I started on my first clay bear.



Introducing Little Heureux (translates as happy in french)

Please don't be too harsh about him, he is my first clay teddy, and I'm pretty happy about him.

A stamp of ownership.
Little Heureux, you're mine!

Now, I'm good to go to bed. Tomorrow will have to be full day, I do not want to carry forward any work from this week to the next, I can't afford to anymore, not if I am going to expect to see MAD event to completion.

*sigh. expectations. expectations. anticipation. tingles of excitement. work.
