Plans to make Awesome!

I bought some flowers because I bored with the ones I have, I need new colors and something cool to keep my interest! I have a little bag of skull faces and some old buttons I used to have on my bags will now make it on a hair peace...I'm thinking of making some old patched into hair peaces for myself as well...

Any who I over hauled an old flower that is still good but rather worn and put a skull on it and a gathered flower....its okay wearable so I'm not complaining I really like it now!

It dont look like much but like I said its rather old flower that needed some love, so i showed it some!

sick and blue....

Yes I am sick, what am I to do but sleep all day and try to think of a life that doesn't so closely resemble the hell a cold inflicts on your immune system!

Nothing is right

Have you ever had one of those days where nothing goes your way when you are trying to make something new and awesome? that seems to be the theme of the day for me....I want to make myself a flower for my hair a sort of redesign to go with the theme of what I happen to like. They are the same flower a rather shocking purple with fuchsia strips a very good color if you ask me and I want to put cute monster faces in the middle namely Frankenstein and the bride a cute re-imagining.

I know what I want them to look like but doing that in clay seems harder then I first thought...I'll get it together eventually but right now I haven't the energy barley to write this blog lol. lets see between me trying to get my crafting that I have neglected and trying to keep myself from falling asleep in the middle of class I think that I will be alright! like all things I suspect this bad day will subside and maybe things will look up eventually!!! here's looking at you those who don't read this my little nobodies!

Oppse!

I feel like I've been a bad blogger lol!!!

Can we say life had gotten in the way and then add excuse here!!! lol yes life took some weird turns and made me stop blogging but i have a renewed sense of blogging sprite and my crafting life is back on track mixed with some other things! yes i have been working hard and school and my new work have taken some odd turns and picked my life up on its heels and whisked me away. that's my attempt at making it sound poetic but really its just a flowery way of saying i got a job and it turned me into a chicken with its head cut off busy!

I have some great pictures from my new classes and yes i will post them to those who ignore this blog!!! yes my little nobodies i know you aren't lessening but i have a mission and that is to post for times a month!!! so here we go!

Funny Birthday

So my mother took me and some other people to Joe's Crab shack....yes that is the name of the place and no i didn't snicker about it the entire time i was there....okay that's a slight lie but really i digress! we ate dinner and they sang me happy birthday and this little tidbit happened!!!



The story behind it is, they wanted me to put my face in a plate of whipped creme to find the cherry and if i found it before they stopped singing happy birthday then they would give us free dessert. well i was not in the mood even though the crab nachos where excellent!!!! i so suggest you try them they will change your perspective on nachos and what belongs on them!!! well my friend Jeff decided to take the challenge and what they don't say is that they dangle the cherry right above his head, well lets just say the laughable Fail was kinda cute!!!

After the Fail we went to a candy shop next door and i got some salt water taffy (cotton candy & Pepperment) flavor which are like a god send dream to me i love salt water taffy and those two flavors are top's for me!!!

All and out it was a good birthday i had fun with my family and that's all i could have asked for...happy birthday to me...well on the 25th but yea!!!

Here and there!

Well i haven't had much to post lately and seeing as though know one cares i think I'm good lol!!! anyway I took a few days off because of the Crafting black out that was my whip cracking mother and her threats to end my life if I dare cut, sew, or hot glue something while my brother made his much awaited trip home. This meant my adventures in crafting for my life ended for a few weeks while I reorganized and finally tallied things up. I am pleased to report I have done a lot and now can start putting things together thank god!!!!

I know, I know....i haven't posted any pictures yet well its the product of a perfectionist and i hate to show things when they aren't done but they are coming because i could use some feed back from you...well the one of you that's lessening...anyway catch you ghostly people later!!!

Better Late then Never...Right?

Well my valentines day is late this year we just couldn't get it together till the end of the month, it was hard pretending i didn't see the teddy bears and the candy and all the pink and red hoopla! I wanted nothing more then to sleep all day but my clay called to me and i still had a lot to work on so i engrossed myself in clay cookies, chocolate chip to be exact! I worked and worked and soon i found out that i had made more then i wanted to and the day was over, i was like 'yes i made it'. but I'm taking the day off from crafting to celebrate the V-day with my honey! he's sick mind you and nothing spell romantic then a sick boyfriend who has been with out his PS3 for a few weeks. Yes this has all the yummy makings of an annoyed me sitting in my fave Chinese eats house wondering when the rice is getting to the table so i can leave.

I kid....I kid....well no I'm not but you know i wish i was kidding lol! My sowing is coming along thank god though it's like pulling teeth when you have been doing the same pattern for like two weeks maybe i should switch the bags up i have no clue but yea...well that's all those who could care less i must be off!

Applique, Applique, Applique!

applique is the word of the day! i have found that any and everything in my home of my used and un-wanted things can be used as an Applique on something and it is freakin sweeeeet! well not so, when things be come a mass of clutter which is what my work station at home looks like let me tell you! it was a mess but it was totally worth it to find what i found deep in my fabric tub at home. some old hello kitty bead sheets i had has a child are going to become something that i think people will love! little travel purses, yes you heard it little travel purses!!! it will take a massive effort to put all those zippers inside the bags and in the lining but i believe it will be worth the trouble!!!

I made a pattern two actually and they are for a signature hobo bag and a signature tote bag, the first trials for these bags i don't even want to talk about. you know when you have that idea in your head and then when you try to make that said idea real you totally face palm on the thing. I'm talking endless amounts of sowing fail! well in the trial and error time of these patterns there was large amounts of fail in what i was doing lol!! I'm sure you know what i'm talking about, O you people that could care less of what i blog...but yea it was awful and for a second i was ready to give up but i didnt and came out with a good pattern....again pictures coming soon!!!

A Sick Day....

Well My mother is sick maybe a cold maybe worse but because i work from home with her, everything has come to a stop! I am also teaching a friend to sow, so she could help me with some of my projects and start some of her own and now a rainy day has come. my friend who i call 'Butters' has canceled a few times but they where due to personal reasons and now it looks like i might have to cancel on her....makes me a sad panda lol!! the wo's of a lonely young craftier with very little options lol!

Any good suggestions? I mean i could move my work a little for a day or two just to get finished for the week, but i hope a week is all i loose. its make or break for me i need enough stock to put up a site and do small events we are calling 'tea parties' so it will take a while but i have time hopefully, but I'm the type of gal that believes if I'm not a head I'm behind and money for supplies is far and in between so any little bit helps...are you lessening?

who, what, where?

Hi there people who have never read a thing i have written!!!

yes i do this for you lol, anyway my crafting days are long and as it never occurred to me very fun. who knew that doing something creative could be so time consuming, but in a good way i assure you!!! i made my first pizza out of play and i lust say it looks smashing lol. I'm looking into forming roses with porcelain clay!!! I'm looking into it so I'll let you know hoe it works out but i have this little problem i don't know how to color it...i mean there are some tutorials on the youtubs but they don't tell you what kind of paint to use.... So i could use some help with that lol....

any who short blog so i'll catch you all who ever read my blogs!!!

I freaken love Fimo CLAY!!!!!

Hello those who are not lessening!!!

Okay so i have just picked up some new bake-able clay and yes its nothing new but hey its new to me!!! anyway in case you didn't see the title of the post its 'FIMO' and i love it way more then Polymer clay...did i spell that right???O who cares...any who i have fallen in love with flmo clay i just love that it don't get super hard super fast!

My love affair started when i was in my local craft store, and they where having s sale my favorite time of the day when something is on sale and I'm sure you'd agree lol! any way i was shopping with 40$ in hand and needed clay and a gloss...maybe some other knickknacks if i could afford it. i was picking up what i was used to working with the polymer stuff and my wonderful and quick eyes boyfriend said "Hey this is on sale for a dollar" he said.

I of course looked and saw that i can bake it which was F-ing sweet! so i banashed the polymer clay back from which it came and picked up the new winner hoping it wouldn't be much different and low and behold it was better to me. that is not to say i will forever treat polymer clay like the red headed step child of the family....but I'm loving my cheap slut of a clay lol....wow i wonder if it's always cheaper, probably not but I'm in love with expensive hobbies.

I was doing a search online for more supplies and was looking for crochet applicays and i found a lot on etsy but i want to use them in my sowing and jewelry so i need a lot and in different shapes...cant seem to find a whole saler...any who those are my adventures in my crafting business pictures coming soon!

In short those who don't care and are not reading i must run!!!

Cherry!!!

Crafting for my Life

Hello know one that is not reading this,
well i have fell off but that isn't going to happen again! I plan to take this blog in a different direction and that is to blog about my little crafting stick and see how it goes. i have taken off school for a while to get some prospective and to be honest i am starting to hate school. I don't even see the point anymore and i was going to become an art teacher and a lot of luck I'll have at that sense the school districts are cutting there art programs left and right.

I don't know i fee swindled in college, more then that i feel like its the biggest rip off in the world but they have it engraved in our minds that college is a have to in order to be happy or...well yea...to be happy and secure in this life a college degree is the only way to go. my thoughts are that even people with degrees end up back at home with there parents working some stupid retail job they hate just to get by. maybe I'm a dreamer but I don't want that for myself, i don't want to resent my love and passion for Art and painting i want to keep that love pure.

So in knowing that I'm going to take a leap and start my own crafting business...I will be making my own product and selling it to the masses in the hopes that maybe i can make my own income to finish my doomed schooling career that is now desperately under funded! I've been inspired by Tread Banger's and other DIYers other Youtubers, i can do this and i can make a difference in my life as to where i wont feel so floundering I mean I'm 24 and i want things. i want to take care of myself first of all and hopefully this is a start! so be looking out people that dont read this is a new day for me I'm going to do it in 2010!

Updates

Hey you all!!!

Well life has got in the way of my posting but that will be rectafied shortly...been working like mad and i have some new pictures of my work up very soon!!! love all my best friends that keep up with ma blog kisses babies!!! see you later.

Made to Remember

I was lessening to an old Michael Jackson song called 'Ben', I really didn't know how much one artist could affect another. but in many ways that song alone tugged at my heart, but it always had...it was a sweet song written by a little boy about his only friend, it is simple and heartfelt some of the most beautiful things are that simple. In my life right now the song takes a different light now that the maker of this sung poetry is gone, really Michael Jackson was a artist. He was corky and a little strange at times but many great artists are that way, some are called bitter and hard to know like Beethoven, Obsessive and pompous like Degas, Or careless and immature like Mozart. Some of the greatest artists go through there lives being misunderstood and with out any since of peace in the world they have been born in other then the art they create. its almost like living in a world of circles and you are clearly a triangle, its sad that the world that shunned Michael and ultimately made him a outcast, the world that showed him no mercy and called him a freak, made fun of him and joked about his faults, didn’t find out how much they loved him till he died.

the same people that persecuted him, honor him, its enough to make one that held a love for him in there hearts no matter what happened, sick...but that’s not the point now...I morn his lose, and for someone that made such great music as he did, there will never be another like him no matter the comparison’s that will be made. In many ways I think that the song 'Ben' now feels different, that it is sung by the people that really truly cared for Michael about Michael. this thought came to me after seeing a true fan of Michael Jackson sing the song 'Ben' on You Tube and it touched my heart just as it did when Michael sang it when he was with the Jackson Five. the singer was David Choi, it is utterly beautiful and simple just as it was intended to be and i loved it so much I had to write this Blog.

Please subscribe to David's You Tube channel, I'm not promoting his channel because he told me to...its because I truly believe he's talented and its moments like these that truly make you believe in another one, seeing this post of his made me remember why I loved Michael Jackson. Why I grew up lessening to him, honestly I'm sure David has no idea i wrote this, or will ever know, it was this post that made the subscription worth it in many ways. His heartfelt tribute to another artist now gone brought me to tears and I want to thank David for reminding me about cherished memories with just a few strokes of his guitar!

All things taken for granted

Hi people....feeling a little down tonight and i cant figure out why, they say that everyone looses something. a car, a home, a key, a family member....i have lost all those things in the past few years, i never thought my grandfather the only only one i ever had. i loved him so much, he was the rock of our family and i always thought he'd be there, i took for granted that he would always be there. that he would be there when i got married and preside over the wedding that he would see maybe my first born, all things taken for granted. he passed away a few years ago...actually the exact date escapes me because i bottled it up and swallowed the pain and pretend it never happened. that's what i do...its not healthy but its the only way i know how to live with out that hole, even though that hole is there. my losses didn't stop there a year ago my uncle passed, it was sudden like a blink of an eye. he was happy and i said hi the next moment he was gone, he was a dancer a ballet dancer, my favorite dancer, i never wanted to know what my life would be like with out him and now i have to figure it out.

I've lost shoe's, papers, drawings, and love but nothing can amount to the lost of a person...nothing....all things taken for granted...things i was so naive in thinking that i would never have to imagine my life with out them its ironic how you go through life always believing they would be there and just the opposite happens. it has made me different more mindful of the limited time we have as silly as that sounds, it has made me more aware of the people around me and how they to might be gone....it makes me realize how important my family is and how paper thin that line between lose loved ones can be. I push it away and try to forget with out loosing the core memories of them, the good times, but how can i think about those memories with out feeling the sting of knowing they aren't here. its like a fresh cut that wont heal, they say it gets better with time but ultimately it doesn't...no i think you get numb, that you learn to be accustomed to it like a friendly neighbor in you heart where they used to be.

All things taken for granted, the fact that i feel i might lose again...the head of my family a woman I looked up to. the head mother in my house, one person I grew up with always nurturing and warm, she kept he and loved me like she loved her daughter my mom. she's live this remarkable life 90 years to be exact and I keep feeling like I might loose her to, now unlike before I am trying to imagine my life with out her and I just cant. I just cant bring myself to do it not because it cant be done, but because I selfishly don't ever want to. she is a force in my life I just cant let go of and one day life will force me to. I'm afraid so very afraid to lose so soon, to loose again I just cant. I keep shaking my head 'no' and nature has other plans, I close my eyes and yet I can still see life's plan plane as day.

I've lost drawings, I've lost stories told to me when I was a child, I've lost respect for my father and lost friends but nothing can compare to the feeling that your going to lose someone that important to you. That you'll never see them again and even though people say they are still with you and in some ways they are, it doesn't ease the pain...the hole is still there and there is only superficial comfort, there is only acceptance with time...that maybe the you'll get used to the pain and it wont be as constant, it will hurt but you'll be strong enough by then that it wont affect you.

I wish it was more like a open wound on my arm...that it would scab over and eventually stop hurting and be a distant memory, but grief isn't like that... its constant, a everyday struggle to see through all the things that hurt your heart, but I swallow these feelings as unhealthy as that is and I push them way down in the pit of my stomach and don't look there, I never look there. I have lost words, and books, maps and jewelry, but I have also lost so much more and my heart can take anymore not now and not yet. theirs only so much one heart can take, being strong isn't a luxury any longer and I am afraid so afraid, because nothing can prepare you for the lose of life.

Musical Lines Gone

Well i just got the news that the smooth criminal, the guy that created the moon walk, the best selling pop star of the 80's, the lead singer in what was arguably the first boy band has passed away. yes Michael Jackson Has passed away kinda trump's the Farra Charlies Angel chick news, but its sad they both died and the world has lost a real treasure. that's really all i have to say about it...i'm sad a big musical peace of my life is owed to MJ and now he's gone!!!

Quickie!

I was watching my you tube channels that i frequent and i herd something about this dude Asher Roth that made some rap about college...its called 'i love college' and i was like o really i have to see this. and i was like this is truly silly, that is not to say the song is catchy but my lord its just...well i have to agree with a girl on a channel i subscribe to called 'Miss Hannah Minx' and i have to say its border line sad really, its about spoiled kids partying till they get sick screwing the next person and just being an all and out dushebag!! i mean i'm a college student and love a good party but its that imigary that just makes me weep for my genoration...i mean really is celabrating the decline of a sirtin class really that entertaining and whats worse this guy is celebrated for it. i'm mordified and fasinated all at the same time i must ITunes this right away lol!!! any way wheres a link to Hannah you tube post and his video judge for yourself!!

Work and Death

Some wonderful new developments in me life, i just had a really good mini shoot with a local female D.J. to test the equipment and all that went all day but i got some really great stuff. it was a 14 hour shoot that was rather long for my taste but we had a lot of changes and the people i work for wanted verity so i had to supple. It was really fun my girl got to play the ultimate game of dress up and pose and i got some work done. there is toll a lot to do i have to go through the pictures and i was just asked to re shoot her close ups so next week its back to work but i don't mind it at all.

In other news how about the death of David Carradine...he was found in the closet of his hotel in Bangkok in a closet naked with rope tied around his happy place. his family want the FBI to investigate his death because they don't believe it is a suicide as the police in Bangkok believe, but nothing as of yet has been done. the first thing i said when i read this was...what the hell was David Carradine aka Kong Foo man doing being tied up by a Lady boy no less for some obvious S&M play at his age. they speculate that he might have had a hart attack or something but really i keep thinking why do all these people keep offing themselves in the most idiotic of ways...and okay i'm sure he didn't mean to off himself and maybe i'm being insensitive but do people think, maybe i shouldn't do this because there are too many things that this could go wrong....any way he is dead and its a shame really Carradine was the man and i was a fan...sadly he decided to die in the most embarrassing way possible and even worse might have been spending his time with a Lady boy but so is the way of the world...lest have a moment of silence for Carradine..............................................okay kiddies i hope you are well and i'll catch you on the flip side.
