Updatin' the Interweb.

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. 

All that exciting news I spoke of has dissipated due to reasons out of my control.  However, this is for the better for everyone involved. 

Aside from that, school is in full swing.  Today I wondered why I was dragging ass, only to realize I hadn't had coffee.  It's a bad sign when you need your morning coffee, but I can't help it this semester.

While my big project has been nixed, I've got a few other side things to work on.  A few of my friends are in a Halloween art show and I'm hoping I have enough time to make a mobile-type skeleton thing.  I have sketched out bits in my head, but have yet to actually produce anything.  I'm also considering making a few of the paper cut outs I was really into about this time last year.

Must do homework.  This blog post is clearly an escape route from studying.  Bah.

Ending the Dry Spell

Had an interesting weekend. Friday was ladies night and I made a sample of a pop up card heart. I'll be working on perfecting the pop up. Saturday was just lovely; spent with the man-friend, going on walks and to a friends art show.


After having been extremely dry in the creative writing department, I am just bursting with ideas and words. I am working on turning "Piss and Vinegar" into an absurd, nearly silent play/dance to be performed at CraftWarrior's next party, The Strange Cabaret.

I'm starting work on a series of short stories, poems, thoughts, and maybe even skits all about walking. I've also got ideas for children's books that I'll collaborate on with a fellow friend/artist.

Hopefully I'll have lots more to show you in due time.
