Bead 607 happy easter

hope ya'll had a good and restful day, for the most part mine was pretty great. woke up with a swollen face I guess just as a continuation of the allergic reaction/hives yesterday? I was super sore too, fibromyalgia can be a real jerk sometimes but egh..what is life?
anyways later in the day I was able to go to an Easter fish fry with my family and friends which was really awesome! such great times seeing everybody and nomming down on some great food! perfect Sunday!

Bead 606 to da zoo!!

Pretty good day! Zoo trip with the family! And labbit...he won the drawing and got to be a part of the fun day! We had gotten the tickets for free a few weeks ago but finally found the much neede free time to actually use them today, it was a special activity day at the zoo apparently...they gave anew different kinds of animals Easter eggs (both real and fake ones filled with different treats) for the, to eat/play with...so there was a crap ton more people then normal...yay....but we had fun regardless!
I love animals and so does my family so it was a fun and cool thing to do to finally have an actual break day together.

After the zoo I was occupied with dyeing eggs for cascarones and apparently having some kind of allergic reaction to some of the activities today and breaking out in hives....no Bueno....I'm really sore, itchy, uncomfortable....and now splotchy pink with calamine lotion....I have no clue what I did...and I'm not the happiest camper right now...but positives!!! It'll be gone soon and for the most part I had a good day!

Bead 605

Had today off but it was okay...3 day weekends kind of throw me off...
went to an estate sale and I got a really nice really big wool blanket that I had originally planned to wash, felt, and cut up for art making purposes
but its super comfy!!!! and too gloriously fuzzy for me to butcher...for now...
todays bead is made out of  some of the extra fuzz that came off the blanket

Bead 602

bleh day....
not bad, not good....indifferent...
critique went well...the day was just long

ended up being frustrated, tired, and pouty a vast majority of the day, not on purpose or to be mean I honestly just wasn't feeling today
I was happy to talk to a few friends, finally go home to eat and sculpt.

Bead 601 paradox

I'm anxious today...maybe its because I've been so accident prone?...maybe its because I've had more coffee then food? maybe its because a huge sculpture of mine could possibly die once fired?...either way I had a pretty okay day minus me being bound and determined to cause bodily harm to myself? unintentionally of course, but still not bueno....
but I got through today! (a little worse for ware mind you) went to school...did usual boring school things...had some coffee with a bud after work (really awesome and much needed!)
the weather was super weird it was gross in the morning, snowed for a little while midmorning , and was cold but pretty outside by the afternoon? paradoxical circumstances today
so paradoxical bead today

Bead 600

Holy cow?  Six hundred is an insane number!!
In these 600 days I have gained and lost friends,
began college,
had many illnesses and injuries ,
had tons of great adventures,
learned new things,
tried new things,
had surgery,
made a lot of artwork,
and tried my best to take it a day and a bead at a time
I still plan to continue at least this year out with  a bead a day

not too shabby of a Saturday if I do say so myself! FINALLY  got some much needed sleep, arose a little early and took my online test ( got a B+). Had an awesome breakfast of a fresh egg from my fabulous egg-man! went to a few yard sales after that, found some really cool stuff including a vintage tea set, a cute shelf, and my usual finds of nick-knacks and toys....of course!
the rest of the day was occupied with making stew and sewing and sculpting
^_^ main colors used were blues and reds sooo....

Bead 597

very good day, well it didn't really start out that well but it most def got better as the day went on, unfortunately last night was like the past few nights of the non sleeping department...I think its the weather that's making me so achy? its getting cold again off and on and really killing my spring buzz... but its okay I was able to survive the cold, get though classes and hang out with a buddy:
pizza
doughnuts
coffee
target loitering...
perfect outing if I do say so myself!!!
home art work didn't go as swimmingly though >_<
but it'll all work out eventually I guess? I did find and munch on some gummies though...haha

I hope to be doing more substantial and fun beads again soon, I'm really sorry that I've been so blahh lately but I'm always a WIP...

Bead 582

very tired....had a difficult day for me, not really bad per-say just really tedious.
I've been too overwhelmed with artwork, school, and life and am in desperate need of a break. I usually get like this towards the end of the semester but for some reason it's hit me earlier then normal.
I've pretty much gotten to the point where I feel empty, not creatively thank goodness....hopefully it'll cure itself while I'm on spring break this week
started a new painting today, healing with paint is always awesome
mixed the blue up special..special blue bead today
