Creativity...Or the Lack, Thereof

I sat and tried to make a pair of earrings for forEVER tonight and was completely unhappy with every single thing I came up with. :( I literally spent 2 hours on the project, and I just could not do it. I need to make a thank you gift for someone, and it needs to be in certain colors, and the bead I was going to use as the center bead won't work, so I tried another, but that one is the wrong color, so I settled on Czech glass with a pearl and 4mm Swarovski crystal, but instead of looking roughly teardrop shape, it just looks kitschy (there's also a teardrop shaped "loop" of 4mm swarovski framing it), and I don't think that's the woman's style, but I don't really know, because I don't know her all that well, other than her favorite color is pink and she's a big fan of earrings. :( I finally gave up in disgust and watched Calamity Jane, which is like one of my favorite movies, ever, and was on one of the western movie channels. Plus, the outfit Doris Day wears when she sings Secret Love? Awesome! :) I wish I could play that part, too, because all her songs are fun or pretty, and it's a plum role, to boot. It would be tons of fun. :) Another of my favorite movies is Pillow Talk, and that was on a few days ago. I discovered it when I woke up and spent the next hour and a half in heaven. :) I wish Ms. Day hadn't stopped singing and making movies, but retire she did, and founded the Doris Day Animal Foundation, which seeks to educate people about proper pet care and pet health, spay/neutering, and to prevent animal abuse and stop animal testing, which I have been adamantly opposed to for over 20 years. Just doesn't make any sense to me to test mascara on a rabbit, for crying out loud. Rabbits don't wear mascara; people do. I'm working on a line of charity jewelry, and I'm thinking I may add the DDAF to the list. Buy a bracelet, support a bunny...who doesn't go for that? :)

At any rate, it's now after 5am, so I am off to bed.

Bis spater, gator!
