Bead 29 Wish

If i had one wish
i wish i could be
a cute little fish in the middle of the
SEA!!!!

if you cant tell in real life i am a horrible singer. it is okay though , i like me :)
my day was pretty interesting i got to my first class two hours early like always, and hada friendly exchange with the really nice security gaurd that lets me in early (even though i dont think he is supposed to). and my professer asked me why i had to show up so early, and i told him  that it was the only way i could get to school at all and he sweetly taught me how to turn on all the lights and gave me a tale of his youth .
It was magical.
:)
the fish was made with hand-dyed fibers and part of the little tiny stash that i actually have in the house . sigh . i am going to have to leave my BIG WOOL STASH in the big freezer for a few more days.
 then store it diffrently .
happy early thursday

Bead 28 The Glerp!

Today was an interesting day i got to sleep late, finished a TON of last minute things before class and ate well for lunch . oh yesterday i got my first piece of "outlandish" literature from a man on the street corner in front of the college, he was actually very nice and gave me a pamplet on animals and how we should be more conscious of how we treat them and what we eat. not too bad or crazy in my eyes, he was kind and has his right to say what he wants. i like animals too :)
Any hooooo back to today i had an epidemic of woolly worms (bugs really) . okay there was only three or four but each of them had already started to do damage to my stash. so i frantically bagged up ALL my wool except a smidge for bead and sculpture making.

this isnt all of it there was already two bags in the freezer in the house, and also my bag of llama.
I could have cried as there was a slow shuffle with my mom dad and I to the big freezer with a good two thirds of my stash being put there for safe keeping untill the bugs perish.
7 realativly big bags of wool fiber and yarn
all gone (to the freezer)
:(
So today was a mixed up kind of day not great not horrible just glerp

which happens to be one of my favorite childrens books
i had already crocheted the bigger one but by todays out come a smaller bead one seemed appropriate
hope tommorow is better

for you and me both

i hope you (and i) can  let them go
for the bettering of ourselves.

a combo of tons of fibers, even some lama

Bead 22

today was a mountain of a day especially in the beginging i am still having (slight) issues adjusting to collage life . i will let that part go but the rest of the day, was better. i am still trying to finish every thing but will have tommorow too
i am tired and my mind is more at ease. ive collected glass bottles for a long time, so did my grandma
 i still have old bottles from her collection,
our favorite was the colbalt blue ones.
so colbalt blue is what i choose for todays bead.

sometimes life is not the best but it is so much better and easyier to focus on the best.
im a big brave lion

tommorow is another day
with all my love

todays bead is composed of layers of hand dyed and pre-dyed fibers.



My mom and i have always had a saying of "I'm a big brave lion, I'm a big brave lion" to comfort us when we are scared .i repeated it all day , i really needed it and belived it helped alot .luckly tommorow is my rest day only two classes at the end of the day :)

Bead 17

I love Frida Kahlo
she exposed her soul to the world so beautifully
she was amasing
 todays bead was inspired by her (and her art)
coragious  and fluid
with bold mexican folk colors
the wonderful organic pear shape of the center bead is followed by an infinity-ish arm that cradles it
have a good night

bead 14

Im glad i dont make promises often because i would be in really bad shape right now obviously im not posting in the daytime :(
But there is alot of stuff i did get accomplished to day .......

 first of all i got up super early
went down to the dmv to get an id; we were one of the first people in line ... very nice
 the person who was in charge of getting it ready made fun of me the whole time but i made him laugh and hopefully started his day off well, i know he has a hard job.

then mom and i came home, i made her and i breakfast

started registration for entries in the local fair

found info that both her and i needed

took care of my "little brother"

This is PeanutButter

looked at my gourds to see what i could paint

or prepare for seeding


then las but not least dyed wool for todays bead
 beautiful red onion skins that i got from the organic onion section the stock boy at the grocery store gave me a funny look but didnt say a word to me, in a way i was kind of helping him clean up but i got enough to dye with so all is well.



the water turned a brilliant burgandy color but the wool ended up a rich yellow orange


  todays bead was inspired by an inch worm

so cute pretty and brave taking it an inch at a time like we all should .... sigh good day :)
hope it was for yall too, sorry there wasnt much posting about the bead , but tommorow is another day.


good night

bead 12 and 13

I did not forget about yesterdays bead and did compleat it yesterday , however there was a crazy bad thunderstorm that had shaken the whole house literally (I live in a crazy old house it was the first to be built on our street) yesterday was pretty uneventful for the most part and that unfortunatly shown on my bead.
I have been feeling kind of gross lately and i think im getting sick :( which is just wonderful for me about to start my first week of collage soon. im pretty scared.i know i will be okay but egh....... is still frightening.

I told you it was uneventful....


Todays was much better it was my moms birthday :)

i love my mom a ton

she is my best friend

Happy birthday mom!!!
I made a penguin one of her favorite animals


By the way i am going to try and start posting in the morning rather than at night I have Insomnia and posting at night is just feeding the flames
I need sleep and i bet yall do too.

Bead 9 I SHALL NEVER BECOME.....


a square

squares are boring and all the same, it has always been a fear of mine that i will lose my uniqueness
my sparkle
my me-ness
but to be void of passion is to be void of life
i rather be too crazy then not crazy enough
I choose a deep pumkin orange for todays bead the color of pride and fustration and really good pie.
:)

on another note i had a really cool encounter with a baby snake this morning


the poor thing was no larger than a worm ,and just waiting for the sun to rise compleatly  and warm him up.
isnt he adorable?

anyhoooooooooooo

First week and first blog post!

Hi my name is mireya, welcome to my little blog. I began this 365 project last week but didnt quite have the blog up to my standards yet so .. here i am now ,a smidge late but i think you all will forgive me.

My "RULES" for the blog are as follows:
1. I must create a bead a day for at least a year
2. I must post it (or at least attempt to) everyday
3. I am not allowed to work on any previous beads, because like in life your not able to change the past
4. I am not allowed to work on the next days bead, i am a worrier (particularly about the future) so i cant control the future of the beads life just like i cant control my own.

Now back to the fun stuff last weeks beads


1 .was my first day simple and pure. the color of camels, carmel and my mamas eyes.

2. was made with hand dyed wool (using Kool-Aid) fruit punch my favorite flavor.


3. was made with an aqua yarn and more hand dyed wool lime Kool-Aid this time (yuck!) but pretty color though.


4. is a tomato shaped bead i was inspired by some that i had bought at the local farmers market that morning also made with hand dyed wool.

Arnt the beautiful?

5. was a sparkely day and a special yarn made from recycled saris was in order. i have been holding that in my incredibly special yarn stash (that im usally too scared to use, in fear thet i will mess it up).

6. was a gray icky day

7. And last but not least my sheep... it was on okay day but made much better with a funny looking sheep.


Hope you enjoyed this and i promise that i will give much better detailed photos of the individual beads as they come.
