I don't know if it's the cold weather here in Baltimore, or the stress of illness of my mother but lately it's all I can do to get out of bed in the morning and finish
half of my to-do list. I get tired so easy, and I'm making sure to eat lots of *nasty* grapefruit and the right things to keep me going. Coffee doesn't help anymore and I figure a good day may be to finish 5 out of 10 promised articles and half-ass do everything else. I blame this on stress, but my aunt tells me this happens the closer to 40 I get and I shouldn't be worried. Grrrrrrrrrrrreaaaaaaaaaaaatttttttttttttt. I do have to report hubby is being more than accommodating to the situation.
Lately I've been burying myself into my plastic site that I've been working on--I figure I'll do something with all the negative energy, and turn it into positive. So I love plastic. I started collecting melmac dishes when I was 18 out of necessity to buy cheap kitchen items for my first apartment. Then the bug hit me and my Russel Wright melmac collection grew.

| This is all the Russel Wright Meladur brand, once said to be "first design in melmac" but that's not actually true. |
So I started thinking, why not design a site and feature (mostly) cool melmac finds on Etsy? This way, I can incorporate the Russel Wright in with ALL BRANDS of vintage melmac and plastic.
Behold:
MemacCentral.com was born.
So check it out and let me know what you think. I just adore old plastic, not just melmac. I try to combine vintage plastic with my handmade creations as well. I think good plastic is not just plastic, but more of an art form.
Sometimes, however, I may take it a bit far:
