CRAZY MAKING

Not much to say...


The year has started crazy! Too many personal things to mention. The Golf Tournament I helped plan was a big success. I am very happy I have made and new friend in Brenda. I hang out with her and we work in the garden, we go see her nephews play Little League, and talk about making an art studio in her garage.

Right now I am making heating pads. I have found some new sources for patterns (www.hatsupply.com) and supplies for my hat making. I made my first fedora using a Vogue Pattern. Ugh. Be ready to improvise with their patterns. I ordered a cool book (Hat Tactics -- Instructions for Creating Early 50's Hats).

hats (millinery)

Art Therapy and Hats




As part of my recovery for Brain Tumor Surgery part of my self-prescribed Art Therapy was to learn a new skill. I had hand sewn a British Driving Cap using a Free Pattern I found on the Internet. The pattern wasn't great but it got the job done. (I recommend adding some length to the bottom in the back). People wanted the hats so I made more and have learned to embellish them and to make different styles. 



I have been using a Free Pattern Program called WildThings that I got at wildginger.com. It's Great little program. I say: "get it". I modify and mix and match those patterns as well. I make some great Cadet and Kepot modifying the pattern after I print it out. You can turn the sun hat in to a fishing hat just by adjusting the size of the brim. I have also come up with a way to make some of the hats adjustable with velcro.

So I think what I am trying to say, besides BUY A HAT, is... If you have a major event happen in your like like depression or a recovery from surgery or addiction. I think is is VERY important to have a hobby. Art Therapy is real and it works. During my Ankle Fusions and Knee Replacement Surgeries I made Mosiacs. I also love computer graphics, cartooning, altered art, music and illustration. Check out my photo albums and feel free to ask me for suggestions on how to get started. Right after you buy a hat! Or some PJ's. Not really. No!. Really buy a hat!

Benefit for Brenda

Brian Misiurski is a good friend
and his sister needs our support

BRENDA MISIURSKI GOLF TOURNAMENT
Eagle Glen Golf Club in Corona, CA
SATURDAY, February 2, 2013



Dear Friends, Family and Supporters:

It is that time of the year again for the Brenda Misiurski Golf Tournament.. It will be played at the beautiful Eagle Glen Golf Club in Corona, CA on Saturday, February 2, 2013 This annual event is both entertaining and rewarding, as the proceeds are donated to my sister, Brenda Misiurski.

The Brenda Misiurski Golf Tournament began as a friendly game of golf uniting long-time friends with new acquaintances. At the same time, it raised funds to help Brenda. She became a quadriplegic after getting into a car accident at the young age of 30 and as one might imagine, her life changed dramatically since her accident almost 20 years ago. The financial burden of Brenda’s needs for constant care and medical attention was and continues to be significant and overwhelming. Since the beginning, our family, friends and community wanted to help relieve Brenda of some of the financial pressures associated with her condition. That is how the “Brenda Misiurski Benefit Golf Tournament” was born, 19 years ago. All tournament proceeds go directly to Brenda..

On behalf of the Misiurski family, as well as Brenda’s friends and supporters, we seek your support. Any gift or contribution is welcome – a gift card or theme basket as a raffle prize, or even a corporate or individual sponsorship of a hole on the course. We invite all golf enthusiasts to play in the tournament as well. Please note that 100% of all proceeds go directly to Brenda. The success of the Brenda Misiurski Benefit Golf Tournament over the past nineteen years has relied on the generosity of many businesses and individuals in the community. We thank those of you who have supported us in the past and we once again welcome your participation – as a golfer, contributor, hole sponsor or cheerleader.

Please fell free to call or email with any questions or to pledge your support.
We can be reached by phone:
Kimberly [ 714-720-4694 ]
Linda [ 714-773-4943 ] or
Bryan [ 714-720-7765 ]
We welcome your phone call!
We can also be reached via email at abrco@sbcglobal.net.

Thank you in advance for your consideration and thank you for your support. We hope to see you on February 2nd!

Acupuncture

Are you sitting on pins and needles? May I suggest a better use for them?


Dr. Laila Nabulsi is an Acupuncturist in Orange California. Very near the Orange Circle and that is near some of my favorite restaurants. More about food later.

She helped me a great deal with my post surgery edema. I am going to continue to see her for help with stress and anxiety.

She has a small, very cute office space. Just like the doctor; her office space is small, very clean with calming atmosphere. the doctor has a very soothing affect so even if you are afraid of needles she will help you feel calm and confident.

custom domain names

Are you a web publisher too?

If you need a custom domain I HIGHLY recommend PairNIC.com. They have a wide range of services included in the price. The support staff rivals many businesses in any industry!

If you want to host domains or need much more storage and service than you can find on free web hosting solutions. I recommend Pair.com. They can handle all your needs and they have a great Tech Support Staff!

If you are using Googles Blogger and have a BlogSpot domain and register a custom domain with PairNIC her are some instructions on how to set it up.After you have registered your domain.

In Googles Blogger
  • Goto Settings, Publishing, Blog Address, Click the Advanced, Type in your new domain name and hit save. It will give you an error message. It will also tell you how to edit the Cnames and A Records at PairNIC. Leave that Browser window open 
  • Open a new browser window and go to www.PairNic.com. Log in to your Account. Goto Management Interface, Manage Domain Names, Select the Domain you want to edit, Custom DNS, the down to Add Cname.
  • In the Cname Fields: for Alias put in www for the what ever Google instructs for the point to. For me it was ghs.google.com. I recommend copy and paste from the google window you left open. It could change (who knows) Click Submit Button just Bellow. You will see it post the new record just above.
  • For the Second CName: Repeat the process. be sure to copy and paste the extra long domain from the google side. Submit that change. For me is was:
    CNAME, enter CUST7S5CIYJL as the Alias and gv-7ABPJHD2TG55YRYDHNL4BMEV2A2PRKEVVNQCG6OHRB3XXHYQG72Q.domainverify.googlehosted.com
ARecord Modifications are NO LONGER NEEDED!

BIG OMG!!! The info given on Googles site is *OLD* ! I am still not sure if A Name Changes are needed because THEY DON'T WORK! After setting this all up. Go back and Edit Your New Domain And a Little Check Box appears that will reroute the naked domain after checking it! DUH!!


Let this info update in internet world for a few minutes and then go back to Blogger and Custom Domain and hit save. VIOLA it should work. If not... Call PairNIC and they will help you. What do I know. I am just a pollack that somehow made it work and tried to help you. What? Did you pay me? OK so wadda ya want for nuttin'?

fb fan boy


The Holidays

In an effort to earn some money for the holidays and at the recommendation of a friend. I have setup 3 Fan Pages on Facebook. This is an effort to make myself more visible on the web. The next step it so get the domain www.jomodad.com pointing to by www.jomodad/blogspot.com site. I have had to transfer the company that manages that domain and I am waiting for that to be completed. Please bear with me and LMK if you don't want to get all the information that will be coming at you in the next month or so.I will do my best to limit the amount or exclude you if that's what you need. I will get custom domain names like the JomodadZazzle as soon as I get 25 like for each site.

Please consider purchasing some things from me. I am on a fixed disability income and the additional income really does make a difference. It might be a little tough to make a custom Mosaic before the holidays but act now if that is what you want.


SEWIST
I am still making hats and all the other sewing I have been doing. Order some pajama shorts or lounge pants I am not sure I will setup a fan page for these items. I might just keep it among friends and family.
