Bead 241

so tired...got allot done today
but freaking exhausted
we went to a yard sale this morning downtown in benefit for the local symphony
it was a freaking great one!!!
I got a cool automin stool -8$
two bundles of wooden spoons (some hand carved)-2$ for all
various chatskis -2$
and allot of other cool various stuff
and I ended up paying  about 25$ for everything
yippy!!! nice stuff!!!
and the rest of the day was occupied doing various homework assignments
 so tired but I'm still not done
booo..........
but tomorrow is another day
oh I wanted to show you my submission for Mochimochi Lands  Tiny Baby bunny contest
here are my "Bunny Apocalypse: part 1" photos and help letter

My dear friends,
 For millennia it has been debated that the world will end in the year 2012.
Sadly today I have discovered that it is true…..
Upon coming home from work today I discovered a “Coo” of sorts forming between my bunnies. As the meeting began they started to gather the mini-bunnies scattered around the house. It was immediately clear that Peanutbutter was the leader of the herd, (well this “sectors” herd as I later discovered) he began:
“Welcome everyone…Krackers thank you for bringing the treats today they were delicious, let’s begin the meeting.
 No longer shall we be oppressed under the tyranny of man!!!!!!! No longer shall we be subjugated to “bed-times” or treat embargoes!!! We will be able to chew on whatever furniture we so choose!! I tell you fellow bunnies Rise Up.! Rise Up! As leader of this bunny sector I have decide to push “The Great Buns” plans of world domination up a few weeks! The Bunny Apocalypse begins today!!”
I tried to muffle my gasps from there vigilant hearing but alas….I was unsuccessful ….
If you are reading this letter, please know that I am not safe; I AM TRAPPED IN A CLOSET AGAINST MY WILL!! His tinny minions have me surrounded but are having quite some difficulty with the doorknob …thank goodness….please, please, send help….. and snacks pretty please?
And be cautious, trust nothing fuzzy or cute!! Stay vigilant for bunnies; this is just the beginning of the End.
-m

Isn't it cute??
I hope I win!!!!!
My bead today is a big woolen spoon
oh they are so nice! some of the not so awesome ones will be used for dyeing ,but the real beauties will be loved and used allot



have a nice tomorrow

Bead 240 Haminal

I need, need, need, need, need this:
this picture doesn't belong to me
I seriously tried to resist purchasing this.......but I just ordered it....
I feel so guilty (yet so satisfied!)
so ashamed (yet so thrilled)
so wasteful (yet so awesome)
I rarely splurge on things and i mean RARELY
splurging for me is more then 10$  of "unnecessary" things
BUT WHO COULD RESIST SUCH A CUTE CREATURE!!!!
(I blame television! ha ha)
It combines two of my favorist things in the whole wide world
HAM+AMINALS= PURELY AWESOME HAMINAL
In a can!!!!!
I bought him here a few minutes ago
and my bead today was inspired by him
I can't wait till he arrives
I bought him here
but until then I have my mini version in bead form

Bead 239

today was better-ish
still tired
but feeling much further along then I did afew days ago...finished somethings
tried my best, and was honest with myself and others.
(regardless if they heard me or not)
taking responsibility for your actions is important to me, regardless of whether you are "grown" or not
I don't think I will every be fully "grown" but at least I am able to own up and stand by my actions
today I :
  • got farther on my design project
  • spoke to a friend whom "talked me off the ledge" so to speak about saying and taking actions towards someone who hasn't been treating me right and will not own up to it, or grow up
  • went out for yummy burgers with my cousin whom also really helped my day by listening and understanding my opinions about certain things going on around the world of ours
  • purchased a hippo ^_^  he-he
  • went on a small "adventure" with my family
  • took peanutbuttter out for his second outside exploration
my bead today is made of just a handful of locks I pulled out of one of my wool bins


decisions are important but taking responsibility for your actions and standing behind those decisions is the most important
have a lovely friday beautiful people

Bead 238

Tired. Had a semi-difficult day, not a bad one I just don't feel too well
I turned in my appropriation of Vasily Sitnikovs' "Portrait of an Inmate"
my professor liked it and couldn't  critique it at all so I'm going to guess that is a good thing?

Allergies have been kicking my butt lately and today was the absolute worst
headache, sneezing, inability to breathe, coughing, and my brain oosing out of my ears and eye sockets......well maybe not quite that bad
but it feels that way
so my bead is allergies a gross yellowish, black lump
is it "his" fault that he is gross?
nope.
Do I care?
nope!
still don't dig him that much!!!

I have allergies all through out the year but the spring is some of the worst times ever
I love nature and am a total hippy child yet I end up wheesing soon after ...boo
I might have asthma? I'm not quite sure but I assume that crazy raspy whistly  difficult breathing isn't good
tommorow is going to be good it has to be, hopefully the migranes won't last too much longer
that is the only thing thats killing me the most
hope you are well
we are almost there!!!

Bead 236

crazy fast post today.
today was nice I had a good outlook on things yet was crazy unlucky
drawing studio was cancelled
I almost got ran over by a white preaeus
about a block later I tripped and almost scraped half my face-off
and wrentched my back again
and so on and so forth
I'm working on a design project due tommorow morning
and they involve the primary colors mainly so my beads today do too
thats right I said beads
three small ones

have a nice tommorow and I will try to do the same
If making these peices doesn't kill me first

Bead 235

so the epic storm yesterday lasted quite awhile and continued for much of this morning
during the storm our water went out ....like completely went out, none to be found
at all
 that lasted till about noon today and then WATER!!!!!
dad had to fix a few switches with our well
boo but hopefully it won't do it again anytime soon
a majority of the day I was a humongous lump, my cyst was being a jerk and my bones were achey because the drastic change in barometric pressure
so that was icky-ish but whatever, life happens.
but my bead today is a chartruse one done with natural red-onion dyed roving and a small pipe embroidered patch on it

hope ya'll have a great week

Bead 234

today was pretty awesome day well...at least the first half was
mama and I went for our free breakfast, chicken biscuits for both of us then her and I headed to our local farmers market for "Chicken and egg Day" supposedly it was to be a chicken eggstravagansa (I sincerely  apologize for that, their pun not mine) but ended up kind of being a bust, there was one lonely rooster, a small table with info on naturally dying eggs and a corner where "cooking classes" were being held on how to prepared eggs Benedict for three dollars, no thanks to that! I rather save my money for more produce.....egh not as epic as they portrayed it to be, but on the bright side I did get to enjoy the market and bought some sage to plant and a bunch of swiss-chard for under five bucks for both, and also learned how much egg sizes and nutritional values fluctuate. there were teeny-tiny eggs from when the hens just start laying and huge suckers almost the size of your fist...crazy!!
the last photo was me playing with the swiss-chard and my giraffe planter

after that the sky pretty much went gray, cracked open and filled the air with big ol' rain drops, lightning, thunder and pea sized hail. it was so exciting and beautiful
so today's bead is a small hail-ish creature like the ones that filled the sky and my yard for the past few hours


have a nice tomorrow

hope you had a happier Friday then I did but this weekend is bound to be awesome

Bead 232 Great trade!

today was a pretty kick butt day!
design class went by pretty slow but I lasted through it,
studied with my buddy (doing my usual art history themed doodles)
took my exam and felt pretty well about how I did
went out for yummy pizza with my buddy
(we usually only eat half the pizza )

then headed off to the art supply store to pick up a few things
as we were going past a really cool artist whom I have bought prints from before , he looks like santa and so nice and funny, saw us shuffling by and jokingly said "I'll trade you!". Of course being me I said "you really want to ?" and winked at him, so he chuckled asked what kind of pizza it was and eventually we struck a deal five postcards for the half a pizza , i chose three for me and my buddy chose two for her.
here are mine:
so that was epic ! the one thing that went awry today was a my hippy skirt debacle after coming out of the art store...... apparently about half of my butt was showing- seeing as the bottom end of my long flow skirt had gotten caught on one of the straps of my back-pack......well at least a really nice lady noticed and told me before I had gotten across campus fully....
I had pretty panties on so it could have been worse....
you are free to laugh hysterically now, I did ..eventually...
I'm honest, I really don't want to seem as if I am putting on heirs about who I am, what I do, or how embarrassingly funny my life is.
anyhoo my bead to day was inspired by my artist-hippy-santa-friend
its a nice colorful bead in his usual pallet with a nice pretty beard like his

have an awesome Friday
oh! and ladies please watch out for your skirts! ;)

Bead 231 Exceptance and ladybugs

Today was a real mixed bag of nuts, the good and not so good chunks were about even but whateves I'm a glass half-full kind of lady, but here is some of the stuff that went down today:
  • the building that I usally go into was locked so I had to wait in the cold for about 15 minutes
  • my english proffessor gave me a C+ on a paper proposal that I sent him
  • crit- went really well for me anyways (the duche-bag guy in my class went kind of crazy when it was his turn and scared me abit)
  • I was able to study for my class tommorow(I'll study a smidge more tommorow)
  • mama made yummy pasta for supper
  • I went on a walk with mama after supper
  • I found a slightly jerky ladybug
  • I took a chill pill
Exceptance of the things you can't change about yourself really sucks, and unfortunatly was the main theme of the day for me I kind of lost it after the first 'not too favorable' things hit me in the face,but it is okay
 I found a ladybug
so that is my bead
have a happy tommorow
please send me some nice vibes for tommorows exams

Bead 222

I have the moderate monday ickys
drawing class was okay, my professer either really likes me or enjoys messing with me....either way I don't mind, I think he does enjoy me allot
he loves coming over to see what I'm up too, which is often eating...checking my phone...doing the assignment while making funny faces at it (I CAN NOT CONTROL MY FACIAL EMOTIONS  TO SAVE MY LIFE) .today in particular we were working with india ink...doing still lifes....boo........
in the beginning I was being a bit tedious as always
so that came with a big "you-can-do-it-just-give-it-your-all-balls-to-the-walls" speech
he didn't say balls to the walls part, but it pretty much seems like it should be there
the day wasn't too bad I did finish pretty much all I needed to do for today and all I have is one more project to do then I am done, but that is for tommorow
anyhoo my bead is inky
there is real indian ink in it

Bead 215

I dont do well alone, seriously I don't........ I'm pretty much I am the human equivilent of a cocker-spainel. Fine and cool when other people are around, yet I will go bat-sh*t-crazy as soon as you step outside that door, unless I have something to do
so therefore I must be occupied at all times
I planned to mainly bake today but that didn't work out
for pretty much everything I wanted to bake , we didn't have half the Ingredients............poop
so i ended up doing snail shaped rolls , cheeseburger-macaroni, flan
and I also dyed about five skeins of  yarn with Kool-Aid knock offs
my bead is artsy and has a smidge of one of my skeins tying down a roll of scraps peeled of my board


hopefully tommorow will be more bake-y

Bead 213

today we went out to breakfast where I got my favorite omelet
te-he it was delicious
 then after the rest of the day was occupied reusing old felted sweaters ,every part is going to be used and its going to be so epic!!!!
also another thing that happened today is I took a nap...accidently....
ooops!!!
I hate taking naps, I know I "need" the sleep but really can't stand taking naps because:
  1. I feel bad wasting the day
  2. I feel grosser then originally after taking-said-nap
  3. I can't sleep well during the night
  4. .........there are more but I can't remember????
So my bead is a sleepy llama lump surrounded by a "blanket" of some of one of the sweaters I am working with
