Bead 548

whoohooo! for the most part today was pretty amazing!
had some slightly sucky chunks here and there but still pretty dope in my book!
went for coffee with an online homie and had a pretty great time, minus my social awkwardness and fidgetyness....but he is super cool, nice and understanding. haha
oh how socially awkward I am...but I tried and for the most part succeeded today!
so yay!
he was so nice and gave me tons of extra awesome things!
I made him an thank you gift, cute-ugly monster globe.
bright blue!(one of his favorite colors) and a pretty accurate color representation for today

Bead 545

selling myself like a whore today....okay I'm totally being over dramatic but I have gotten a few commissions and am super stoaked about it! I've been promising myself (& keeping said promise) that I'm not allowed to buy anymore toys till I get more commissions, trading is okay just no direct toy buying from me!
I much rather be making art I want to do them doing the BS  that I've had to do in school lately. I understand we need fundamentals and education about a variety of things but I am so over school!!!!!!
I want to be free to make my art!
anthropology
ceramics

Bead 543

half productive, half lump kind of day.
blocked the hat for my homie. I legit hate blocking, its so scary and could always muff up a tedious piece. but it didn't!

resorted to cleaning my many many many collection shelves, and even found my old bird skull!!

the rest of the day has been spent knitting, making more cardinals, loafing and well pretty much that's it...I'm excited to hide the cardinals and to be making a new hat for me ( I lost one of my favorite ones, thats no bueno but I have an excuse to make a new hat for me).
jumbly bead today, grass of the jars, the color of the hat I'm working on and red for the cardinal

but I'm over it for the most part.
did well in my art history class. contributed too ^_^
talked with a buddy for most of the day.
worked on a new project and tried to stay warm while doing it.. I'm shivering as I type, no joke.

But I am really excited for this new local artist group I am in and really feel like we can and will get  a lot of stuff done and make our patch of the world a better place and make some great art in the process.

Bead 537

lazy Sunday, not intentionally because I woke up pretty early originally but could not for the life of me compel myself to get out of bed.. it was freezing like literally freezing. I have accepted what comes with living in a very old house but can't get over the fact of how much draft actually is able to come through my window. needless to say even though I tried getting up I didn't and couldn't. congestion was a jerk to me today too
>_<
I sware year round I am constantly fighting off a cold.
anyhoo I still tried to make something of the day. Was going to start a new project but got tired after splitting over 5 ounces of the stuff (handpainted corriedale), plus I got the sneezes since it still had grass in it... Booo maybe these fellas will do some of it for me??

Bead 535


Had fun in the snow today, along with a few of my toy!
Snow adventures are so great.
I arose relatively early and got out to take photos, of the glorious snow and a few silly little pictures of my toys playing in the snow too.
after that some errands (including returning a very expensive textbook) getting a few pizzas and went to see  and visit my sister too.
it was a really fun day.
I was finally able to purchase a toy that I have been wanting for awhile and just enjoy the winter day as it came and went.
I made domo a little cowl, because in the adventure this morning he was upset that he was the only one that sunk into the snow and didn't have any woolies to keep him warm like octo and munkosaur
so domo cowl bead today.

Bead 533

Busy and moderately outrageous day, but it was better then the days that I have been having. I'm going to post exactly what I did on Face book as soon as I got a break:

"my day thus far as follows:
go to library to see if they had any of my books since they haven't come yet..they didn't.
dropped a class online and email professors explanation.
go to studio drop off stuff and get a form to adjust my class schedule.
fill out form.
speak to really nice lady about my dropped class.
take form to the spoon to leave it for my future professor.
go back to the studio, ate,... got money.
went to tate st, got art supplies, and rented a fucking book that I've already bought.
back to studio to drop off new art supplies.
go to anthropology.
haul ass from anthro to the studio to get my stuff and get to ceramics.
do ceramics stuff, and mix a shit-ton of red clay (which I am now coated in)
went to the spoon again to pick up the form.
brought it back to the studio for it to be reviewed and stamped........
I'm tired, still gotta take it to the registrars office but I'll do it when my ride comes because I've done a weeks work of running around today."


I was tired and saddish yet at the same time felt really accomplished too? I had done so many things and none of them "broke" me sure I was tired but no worse for wear then I normally am.
I was able to forge a pretty good day out of a a lot of gray mess.

Bead 532

Had a kind of bad day mostly because of my own doing. my brain is mean to me, I over worry and over worry to the point that I make myself sick..which is exactly what I did today.
The whole day wasn't bad, I think my new art history professor likes me, which is good.
 talked to a new buddy for a while too.
and I was able to have a mini adventure with my friend and went out to lunch and got to see some dvds of the office and adventure time.
afterwords when I got home is when the major freakout happened, every stressful possibility and reality hit my mind at once and I really lost it. like sobbing to the point that I made myself sick.
But thank goodness that I have a great support system who helped me get my head back together. Hopefully I'm not getting sick, but I'll cross that bridge when and if I get there.
mom has mondo telapathy she got me may favorite pop rocks and that helped my get off my mental "ledge" of sorts.
small pop-rock bead today
tomorrow will be better, because I'm a big brave SMART lion and I can do this.
good vibes and much love sent to you for listening.

Bead 529

went out this morning for a rare winter estate sale and ended up going out to eat at a panaria we tried their breakfast tacos: dad got chorizo, I originally got lengua, and mama got el pastor.
Each of us got a different kind so we could share, compare, and figure out if this place was worth a second visit, and for the most part it was, the lengua (beef tounge) could have been prepared better, and I didn't trade for any chorizo- I don't mind the taste of chorizo itself but the smell always gets me........(shutter)....ANYWAY I LOVE EL PASTOR! it was so delicious and an explination of it is crispy pork in a delicously flavorful sauce! it warmed and filled my belly so!!

Bead 528 Burps, erks and no jerks!!!

I love wonderfully cheesy titles ^_^
and am pretty in love with the day I had, today was the last day in a while where I will be able to visit and volunteer with my kids....sad I'm going to miss them and I bet they are going to miss me too (all week they have been asking if I was going to come today) but we made the absolute best out of the day and had quite a great one if you ask me. Taught on of the most difficult kids in the class how to crochet a chain stitch and he really loved it he continued off and on for the rest of the day and was one of the best attitude days he's had in a while.
that alone thrilled me so but, it did keep on getting better. Cooking class went great and the kids made Delicious and beautiful eclairs (and honey mustard chicken strips).
After school mama and I ended up doing a little bit of thrifting at the Goodwill on the way home. I found a fish bowl shaped like a fish, some gloves to make octopus with, a super old and cool "corner"cookie jar, and two bell dome bases one in milk glass and the other regular pottery with a cool crackled brown (pretty not gross colored).
And I also I got one of the (many I'll be honest) toys I ordered and am I love with it
Monster Burp is his name and adorable-ness is his game! he came with one large GID cloud and a small happy one with an adaptor for it to fit.

Bead 525 sad...

Been sad today...
  • found out a Friend is in the hospital and will most likely have to be put in a nursing home
  • things I've been bidding on eBay were totally overbid waaaayyyyyy past my budget
  • the toy show I have been wanting to see at a local gallery for months ended early and I wasn't able to see it.....
  • left over Peanutbutter mourning
  • found a toy that I have been wanting for awhile but the store was horrible and insecure so no toy for me.
  • and just plan sadness.
there were some good things that happened too but unfortunately the sad far out weighed the good
sad bead.
