School's nearly done with and I plan on spending my first sweet moments of Winter Break...working! On stuff I like though. I need to churn out some mobiles, a journal, and some other handmade crafts before Christmas hits. Wish me luck.
I plan on making my 6 year old niece a drawing journal. My friends and I have this habit of creating little journals full of prompts such as "Draw the inside of your mind" and you draw it. It's a fun silly thing to do. My niece got such joy out of taking part in our journal, I thought it would be grand to make one for her. So I'm going to fill it with things that would pertain more to a little kid.
I'll also be making some shirts and mobiles for friends and family. I've got a lot of work cut out for me, but I'll be happy to be crafting and not studying! Especially since my next semester of school is going to be a boatload of work. Math AND science, plus TWO English classes. Bye bye, social life.
I'll post pictures as soon as I've made some progress.

Out of Commission
I have very much been inactive about this blog and my creative life. A few updates for you:
I am FINALLY feeling more on track with school. Talked to a counselor, got some things lined up and will hopefully be ready to transfer soon. This means I'll be taking at least one semester of 5 classes and definitely 2 summer school classes, but I don't care. I want to be done and I want to graduate. This also means that I'm not taking any art classes and that I'm pretty much pushing creative things to the side save for a few minor details.
I'm mostly really happy to focus on something long term. I finally cemented being an English major and also emphasizing creative writing. Next semester I'll be taking more English classes and that is really exciting. Plus, CC art classes are always around, so when I get my bachelors I can always go back, which I plan on doing.
I'm also trying to focus more on my own writing in general, so a break from other artistic forces will be good for me. The few things artsy fartsy things I still plan on doing involve writing anyway. I want to write more skits/do more performances. And I just barely have gotten involved with a friends art group, so hopefully I'll be making that come true soon. I have a lot of ideas and bits written down that need to be shown. I would also really love to start making short stop motions. I've also got good ideas for party themes and am just waiting for the right moment to unleash them unto the world.
I've also been volunteering at a great co-op bicycle center. I'll be posting pictures and some details about that later. For now, I must scribble notes for a quiz tomorrow. Tata.
