I have no idea if there will be any craft fairs this winter and I have a whole bunch of inventory looking for homes. I have canvas bags, ornaments, cards, paintings and prints, and much, much more. The plan is to list a batch of items each day until I get it all up there. Check back daily to see what has been added. This is my only source of income, and I need to get it jump started. 

I am constantly trying new things, and will add as I go. Have fun shopping!

Still need help

Update 07/28/2020 Well, here it is a couple of months later, and still no change. Still don’t qualify for any financial aid. I have bills that need to be paid monthly, and no hope of getting any help. I’m only a few months into the possible 14 months waiting for a hearing on disability. I have not been released to go back to work, not that there are any jobs available anyway. It is all so discouraging and stressful.

There are no jobs

There are no jobs, crafts aren't selling (no craft fairs), and no chance of getting financial aid. I'm down to my last pennies and no relief in sight. People, I need help. The GoFundMe has stalled, has been over a month since the last donation.

The only jobs available are service jobs, which I can no longer do. You have to wait for someone to die to get an office job here.

I can't lift, I can't stand on my feet all day. And if I work full time, I loose my disability claim automatically.

I don't need a lot of money, enough to pay the monthly bills which aren't all that much. I have already sold my scooter, and am now looking at selling my stealth camper trailer.

If you can help, it would mean the world to me. I didn't ask for this.

Please help

I still need help. Donations have stopped, but my bills haven't. Every little bit counts. I don't qualify for unemployment and haven't been released to go back to work, even if there were any jobs available. I have another 12 months or so before my disability is reviewed by a judge, and could still be denied.
Craft sales have also dropped to nothing, so no income there either.

Please help.

Stalled...

I have been reduced to begging. I need money. My GoFundMe has stalled.

The latest

Well, it has been quite a year so far. What with COVID-19, civil unrest, and Stay At Home, it has been pretty disturbing.

Being at home for months on end without another person gets pretty old. Can't go have coffee with a friend, can't shop, can't eat out...even visiting neighbors is taking your life in your hands. It is LONELY.

Granted, I'm used to being alone, prefer it that way these days, but I always had some sort of social interaction.

I don't have a lot of motivation or energy. I'm tired all the time. I've been told it is perimenopause, but I am way past that. I'm just tired. Been that way most of my life. I have a hard time getting myself moving, but usually when I do, I actually get stuff done. Waking up anytime after midnight and starting my day doesn't help. It is usually 2 or 3 in the morning, sometimes earlier. Makes for a very long day and an early bed time which just perpetuates the problem. It is what it is, just have to live with it.

I keep myself busy. I read a LOT. Probably more than I should. But even if I don't have the energy to move my body, I have to keep my mind busy. I don't watch much TV, it is on maybe one night every couple of weeks. After 5 PM. I don't like day time TV at all. Never have.

I have been doing some crafting. Haven't sold anything but a few cards lately. Have done some wreaths, started glass etching, made a tumbled glass Christmas tree, iron on vinyl projects, and more. Getting a nice little collection of cutting dies on eBay for a buck or two each. Have tried stamping and have a few stamps, but it isn't one of my favorite things, and embossing is a real challenge for me. Don't care for it even tho I like other peoples results. I just can't seem to do it right. And painting. Have done one since the group stopped in March, not one of my favorites, but I did one. Need to keep at it.

I have canvas bags, coffee mugs, canvases, and more, to either put vinyl on, or paint. Plenty of projects waiting in the wings, and I need to start on my fall cards. Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas are my best sellers.

As for my financial status, nothing has changed. 15 months with no income. Surviving now on generosity of friends and what little I sell. My go fund me has stalled. I don't qualify for any aid of any kind and don't even qualify for the COVID unemployment. It sucks. There aren't any jobs right now even if I had been released to go back to work. It is very frustrating and stressful.

I'm looking for a job, but there aren't any desk jobs in Quartzsite, only service type jobs that I cannot physically do any more, and don't want to. I took a real estate course thinking that might be an option, but I hated it. Too bad it cost me $300 to figure that out. Sigh...

So any help you might be able to give would be greatly appreciated. I know it is hard times for everyone right now. I get it. This is the link to my go fund me.

I have a year and a half until I can retire. That is a long time.

Here are a few of the things I have made in the last couple of months.
