OK...OK...I know. I don't publish much. My illness has a lot to do with that. I have arthritis in my hands. BAD arthritis. Along with EVERYTHING else wrong with me, i.e. losing my hearing, etc. etc. etc. The arthur hampers everything these days. To the point I get depressed about it. I'm a crafter and it interferes something awful.
I toy with the idea of just creating a Youtube channel. Able to show crafts I know, just once and take breaks in filming. But I am a boomer when it comes to editing video and it still doesn't help my hands. Thought it would be easier talking instead of typing. I've toyed with voice recognition typing and end up having to correct so much...might as well just hurt and type it. Which means I've ended up doing nothing I planned to do.
But I need to figure this out!! I've things to share before I kick the bucket. Things I think will be useful to someone. I'm not getting any younger.
So I thought I would catch up a few things. There are articles on here in draft that are not completed. I want to complete them. Plus some things I've done, I haven't even shared!
I wrote this article 5 years ago for Dave Tabler of Appalachian History. She Haunted that Train All Damn Night! I forgot to even share it here!!
It was for Halloween. He asked me for another ghost story. So I gave him one. He said that was an imaginative story. I told him I didn't have to imagine it, because it was TRUE! Real easy to write up when I was there that day, when Colonel came in from that run, and told the story.
So for those that follow, I am going to try to catch up things and to do something to share things I think some folks would like. Now I'm a poor person. Poor people, have poor ways. Way things are going, some of this knowledge I know, that might be useful knowledge these days.
The Youtube....sigh...well it won't be professional or nothing like that, but I think it would be the best place to share some of this.
Here was a picture I did of a doll I fixed. It was a gourd head doll I made for my G baby, YEARS ago, that she damaged it's head. She stepped on it and it looked like Wednesday Adams doll with no head. I had to replace the head. Gave it new pantaloons because those were missing, and made a cape for it out of an old velvet dress her mother wore as a baby. I did a video short but haven't uploaded anything to Youtube.
AND some other things I want to work on. I got the baby doll fixed but my hands.....I'm going to have to pick and choose carefully. There is an antique beaded purse I want to fix but I can't hold the fine needles anymore. My family can help me with that. I hope. I can show them, just can't do it. We will see. Ya'll be blessed this year.
