Ok, 2 different things that popped up around the same time. My bosses sister wanted me to make some sort of gothic-y jewelry for her daughter whose going to some gothic show or parade at Disney?!? I didn't know Disney was down with the goths, but I guess I learn a new thing everyday. :) I'm more of a John Mayer/Michael Buble kinda girl and I'm totally stumped as to what exactly being goth consists of. When I think goth, I think black and skulls...that's about it. ::shrugs:: So what to do? Numero dos... I just found out my cousins 6 month old died in his sleep. I really don't get along with that part of the family...haven't spoken to em in years so I really don't know why they made the long trip to my house to let me know. My gramma wants me to play nice and I couldn't be farther from lending a shoulder to cry on so I figured ... make something since they always seemed to be amazed by the little things I came up with when I was younger. Problem is, I've never had to make something for someone who has lost a child who I barely even knew. So I'm looking for something that says "Sorry for your loss" but have it not be too sentimental where I'd have her trying to come over and crying her woes to me. I know, I sound rather bitchy and heartless... but I've never been good with feelings, emotions, crying...that sorta crapola. Blame it on my parents. So, any sorta ideas would help. Some sort of scrapbook/mementos thing would be nice, but again, we don't talk so I don't have pictures or anything. And I think shes got more important things in mind right now then to send me some, anyway. Id like to have whatever it is by the viewing.. which would probably be next week sometime. Oh, and the jewelry by tuesday.

Oh, yes...forgot to mention...walking into my craft room is like walking into Michaels....I have it all. So clay, mosaic, resin...whatever u can think of...I'm sure I have the supplies. Just nothing from the sewing department because my machine has been having brain farts lately.
