"Baby steps. Baby steps to the door. Baby steps down the hallway. Baby steps to the elevator. Baby steps getting on the elevator. [Sound of screaming as the elevator descends]" - from the movie "What About Bob?"
After all this time, and hemming and hawing, I'm finally starting my blog! I still don't know what all of the settings available even mean, but at least I'm putting something out there, "really and truly." I get too hung up on the details, though sometimes that's half the fun. I'm terrified of what the response will or won't be. But I'm pushing and stretching myself. Maybe it will help me grow. As I'm about to turn 31, I'm pushing myself out of my nest of hiding and worrying and recriminations. I don't expect to fly, I just hope not to fall so often, hard or far that I can't pick myself up again for another try.
So, without further ado, a bit about me:
I love to do bead-work, and have played at design of every flavor off and on for years. I devour crafting and DIY magazines, books, websites, blogs. Truth be told, I am a complete bibliophile - though my appetites are by no means limited to books. It's more of a love affair with stories, told through any medium. I follow so many web-comics that it boggles my husband's mind. I like the idea of sewing (still working on the nuts and bolts of the process).
My favorite color, as my blog title suggests, is Teal. I mentioned it a few times too often while working on a project long ago, and it became my nickname. At a rough point in my life, someone told me, "It takes a lot of canary yellow to make teal," and the larger implications of that statement trined with something in me. Hence, the handle of Teal Canary. I sometimes use this name in my artwork, so it seemed appropriate here as well.
As it is quite late here (or very, Very early, depending on one's perspective), I will expound more in my next post.
"Sweet dreams 'til sunbeams find you/ Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you/ And in your dreams, whatever they be/ Dream a little dream of me."
