Bead 56 truth is....

truth is....
1. im tired
2. i have been terrified to step out of my door since i was like 10
3. i have stached away some serious "future tattoo" fund
4. my brain is gone

today was a pretty good day the few points that i do remember
- i ate cheese pizza lunch
- i splurged and bought art supplies (16$ worth of splurging)
- i held a warm wiggle puppy for about an hour today

this one, its my cousins new dog , he is adorable , small and deaf his name is Artie
- i knitted a little bit
- and i sware that there are germs wondering around in my brain
just jiggling up there

I also took some photos from around my school

I needed fun, art and cupcakes
which i got later today thanks to my mama
(thank you mama!)

mustache house!!
 

My bead today is a present,

although i wont recieve "phyisical" presents probably till this weekend i am so happy and blessed to be sorrounded by people whom genuinly love me for who i am
despite my ....
crazy
silly
stupid
childish
angery
stubborn
faults.
I extended my wish to my close friends and am extending it to you aswell.
(warning: not the actual wish i had when i blew out the candles so dont worry it should totally still count and come true)

Bead 53 step of my mustache dreams

today was filled with drama, icky issues and paper-work
what could go wrong kind-of did
I scraped a good amount of flesh off my pinky toe
and got way to stressed out
(the one of few good things that happened today , i got 188$ premiums from the local county fair)
I really really hope tommorow goes better although i still have some paper work
and other icky stuff, i am going to make the best of it
I will be eight-teen years old tommorow.
For my bead today i needed something funny and awsome to break up the pure icky-ness that has unfolded today.
MUSTACHES!!!
mustaches are hilarious to me
and probably if it were more socially exceptable i would consider having one?
a cool handlebar one too!

If it wernt so late i would probably be taking a lot of silly photos of me and my bunnys with this sucker on
but there is always tommorow
and tommorow will be better
my "party" wont be till this weekend
i might buy myself a little cake and a candle
and will be sure to bring my camera to document tommorow

best wishes to you
for a great week

Bead 53 A package and Pies

Today was another long gruling day vollunteering at the local county fair, mom and i were the first ones to show up (as we often are) and started off with the teadious little chores we "fair-workers" do:
cleaning displays
sweeping floor
watering plants
and fixing stuff that gets riga-ma-rode every day
that swallowed up the early morning untill about 10ish
we took up enteries for salsa for awhile
then PIE!!!
i spacifically signed up for this slot  to help collect
pie.....
i like pie
PIE
pie
PIE!!!!!
okay more like "like-like" (love) pie
i wasnt able to eat any unfortunatly
we left before judging
:(
i got to SEE, COLLECT, HOLD, and SMELL pie!!!!!
but not eat it....a darn shame, isnt it?
even more of a shame then not being able to eat pie is the fact that i forgot to bring anything to do during
the fair no knitting, no crocheting, no crafting at all.
sad. so so sad.
but back to pie!!
made out of sweater scrap pie crust
pumpkiny fiber
and some lushious llama on top

OHHH and look what i got in the mail!!!!!
my package of candy and magical items from a good friend
(yes the one with forign candy)

sorry i blurred out my address, i know for a fact that you all arn't creepers
but you cant be too safe can you?
 it was so nice and pretty!!!
and arrived just in time :)
monday is my birthday

have a happy restful sunday
a kind of manic , pie wanting

Bead 52 Magic pebble

today was extra extra rainy
i  got totally soaked to the bone
after my first class the bottom really fell and i almost fell afew times on the large stone steps coming out of my building so i had to take of my flip-flops and
SQUISH -
SQUASH-
SQUISH-
 to my next class down the block.
After that i met my cousin and attempted to cross the street for food
and got splashed from a big truck speeding down the street
and got even more soaked
i laughed and laughed !
luck and giant puddles arnt always so nice all the time but
what can you do?
either laugh or sob....
i personally rather choose laugh
Now to my bead
for some reason today it reminded me of one of my favorite childrens book
"Sylvester and the magic pebble"

its a cute story about a donkey who collects pebbles
finds a magic pebble one day and makes a wish...
i wont tell you the end you need to read it yourself
I wished i had a magic pebble today in the rain
so i could wish to:
be with friends and family
have a nice warm sweater
 have yummy stew
watch a nice movie

so here is my "magic" pebble

in pretty mixture of red yellow and blue
and a smidge of llama fiber
for a bit of extra magic

happy weekend

a kind of manic
hungry-ish

more boring stuff at school but then magic in my front yard when i came back home

Bead 50 Milestone!!!!!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!
(now in your mind picture balloons,  confetti, and glitter everywhere)
thats right its my 50th bead
and matched with a pretty good day
my big exam wasnt as frightening as i thought it would be
i had hot pockets for lunch
and got to play games at school
AND i am getting candy shipped to me by an old friend
fancy foreign CANDY
also i figured out what i want for my birthday:
a dvd of "The Last Unicorn"
a waffle iorn
and a gift certificate from my favorite yarn shop

today was nice, but rainy
im not complaining mind you i enjoyed it alot
except for the umbrella.
I am a murderer of umbrellas
they are my "kite eating tree" like with charlie brown
i always manage to flip them inside-out in a dramatic (and quite funny for other people) way
so then the umbrella becomes a bowl for the rain until it goes back again drenching me even more
sad.
cute.
funny.
true.
but luckly that didnt happen today
almost but didnt
so my bead today is my arch-nemisis the umbrella

hope tommorow is great for everyone
an i sincerly hope that umbrellas are kinder to you then they are to me.

a kind-of manic sleepy

And last but not least ended up eating (devouring really) a chicken sandwhich and waffle fries on a bus bench, in the middle of  nowhere

and am i need of unicorns, faith, luck and sleep
hence the clover

Bead 47

i have a tummy-ache
but now my room is full of wool
i finally rescued my stash from the freezer
and now it has exploded around my room.
egh ohwell!!!!!!!
i am slightly drugged from my
ovairan-cyct-y day of pain
but i got my wool and some nice gourds in my garden
which inspired my bead for the day
oh how i love having all my wool again
because for weeks now i have been scraping the bottom of the wool bowl
i know i could probably gotten all of it ......... along time ago but i was crazy parinoid about the wooly bugs

isnt it gorgous! i love gourds so much

later on in the day when i actually desided to be apart of the world again i had a funny and interesting conversation with a good freind
how i miss her and all of my old buddies
OH !!!
I hope this week will be great, i have my big exam this week and am trying to study well (an not too hard )
and relax about the other mountains of things that have to be done
one minute...

one day....
one week....
at a time

Bead 46 cakes and possible cousins ......continued!!!

I finally found my camera
well my mom did
this morning as soon as i got up
lucky i know!
 here are some detail photos of the cake i decorated
i had an okay day at the fair yesterday
but what made it sooooooo much better was the
  discovery an adorable possibe cousin of my "lil brother" peanutbutter



itty bitty is to the left
peanutbutter to the right
they could totally be cousins!!!!!!!!!!!!
so my bead  was based on him
or them rather?
but i did have some difficulty makeing because all (well everything but a smidge of )my wool is still in the big freezer from my dramatic The glerp post.........
so i had to use a sweater from my crafting stash to make it.
this sweater spasifically. i got it at a giant yard sale for 50 cents, and felted it in the washer a few months ago i remeber it so much because the only reason i was able to get it was the  little boy infront of me in line refused to get the sweater ,even with his mom prodding him.

but the sweater
kind of  hinderd my bead making skill especially the details of it.
but i shall get all my wool stasch out of the giant freezer today.

see you soon for todays bead

bead 40

40 is quite a milestone
in any part of life:
being on this earth for 40 years
loving some one for 40 years
eating 40 marshmallows
and making 40 beads for 40 days?

egh some are more heroic then others

today was realativly uneventful
but i found isperation for a bead none the less
one of my favorite tv shows it Arthur
its a kids show about an
aardvark
its based off of a childerns book series
these were one of the first books that i had read
I have met the author Mark brown, and he signed a book for my big sister.
I miss those days where you didnt feel obligated to read books , you just got to sit down and enjoy the words and pictures.

AA-R-D-VARK!
are naturally funny lookig creatures so
 i did one more all natural
and blue?
(contradictions i know but what are you going to do? call the contradiction police on me ? please dont ... pretty please?)


pretty and blue
have a great week
im kind of wooried about tomorrow but...................................................
i will survive
and so will you

lets be brave together shall we?

Bead 38 wows and cute cows

I have had a great and confusing day:
it started off with me waking up on my own without someone having to yell, fuss or shove.
i got dressed and layed down with my mom for a little while , and my dad cooked microwave bacon and formed (the best and only word i can use to describe what he did) breakfast sandwiches. egh they were okay but i was more proud of him for the effort .
when i got to school life  was interesting ,confusing and involved with cows
these cows to be specific
in class today we were discussing ancient egyptian art , when my professor
whose words are still made of magic
settled apon this image (cattle and herder in mustaba of  Ti) and began to vocalize the inner thought of the cows and mooed. the combination of funny looking image of freaked out cows and his dialogue
was priceless.

so needless to say this HAD to be my inspiration for today's bead
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
MOO!


moo

Isnt he adorable and slightly paranoid looking.
this was the top of my day and the rest was filled with my fear of my words not meaning as much anymore.
but i need to give myself some credit and listen to the nicer side of my inner monologue
because i am a nice person
and so are you
and i like cows
and so do you!

oooh i need sleep
i will probably dream of cows
and  better days for
all of us

Bead 37 a new leaf

today was difficult.
the beging started out great, i got to sleep in
make and eat pancakes (and saved one for my mom)
then i was devouerd by worries and frantic reading.
(i dont want to get into the spasific crummy parts of the day)
but i went to the park
calmed down and found a beautifully pure leaf
i appoligised to the tree and took it .
i needed it alot more than the tree did.

isnt it pretty it reminds me of batik.
todays bead was inspired by this leaf,
in layers .

forest green, fern, lime, yellow-orange, and a few hints of crimson.
just like God intended.
sigh...
i know tommorow will be better.
hopefully it will be a pretty fall day like it has been the past week.
Happy friday
and good vibes headed yalls way
^_^
