early

Its early morning, im up. Im about to start work on my watercolour pictures. I have not a clue but i love experimenting with it all... might go to the library and borrow some books so I can learn a lil bit. Im painting out my pattern and squares again.. which I so love doing in different shades of blue.


I have written to just about everyone, I just have to post them. Got a new pen pal from ireland now.. which is great see if I get a second letter! SOmetimes people stop writing after one which is a shame. *sighs* I know things have slowed down that way but I have a stack of stamps and I may as well use them.

I love watching cartoons.. so much inspiration. I love colour now. I guess the days of using a lot of black have gone. It was my lil nephews first day of school today.. i wonder what he will take to. Big day! My other lil nephew is as cute as can be with beautiful blue eyes.

I guess I should go start my day now Ive had breakfast and a coffee I have to make the most of it as Lou and Allen are coming home and I'll have to pack up tomorrow.
grrr and then Ill only be drawing for 4 days unless the weather miraculously heats up and I can work outside.

Welpers take care out there

listening

Im listening to Rachel Yamagata man I love her voice. Elephants (teeth sinking in)is probably my fav song off the album. I can't wait for her new one to be released. Im still cutting out stencils gonna get water colours out and paint this afternoon have a few things racing around in my head. Im just a lil bit down today.. feeling very emotional.

I made lemon sour cream cupcakes yesterday, they are so delicious. Ive made a few new styles of cards i bought some transparent paper too. Im waiting patiently for a nice day it has rained nearly every day.Given its still winter though im not suprised.

Well its lunch time now.

high to low

I was on a bloody high for the past two days. Now i'm crashing i think its from lack of sleep. Ive been tired and feels like things in my life have come crashing down around me. So how to stand on a floor that's almost breaking? How to clutch those straws and emptiness? Trying to create things trying to map out things in my head. Sometimes that seems gone and im left with nothing the taxing toll of living in the valley has made me quite sad. Once again id love to head to the city for a weekend or something. Id love to just catch up with friends.

I keep hearing the anthony bird when I watch taggert. Some comfort of a past life that i did not lead, to quote a great musician clare bowdich sings "buying crap that you don't need to feed a world that will not feed". I know im being quite creative as of late/// making cards til 2am this morning.. go to make a ribbon box too. I have too many to keep up with.

Well lets see.. im thinking and I need to seriously do this go back to the gym... i prefer swimming though i never get to the pool the way im going atm. So these are things i would like to do. Well thats my rant for today...


im off to bed... the alternate world is awaiting

new found

I have stayed home the past few days... working again on new pieces... ive been looking on the net at art and have been inspired to create again. Im using card stock a huge back log of it sitting in my wardrobe that had to be used as im not buying anymore until mos tof my supplies are used.

I went to the opshops found a few bags that im going to attempt to alter and then to the two dollar shop where i bought this patterned junky looking coaster a fly swatter and some spare sauce bottles for paint. So i have some textual elemtents that i can add. I found some wood in the garage too and a few bits and bobs about in supply draws

I did do a bit of potato stamping.. not very well though! So when I got home I had lunch and started painting. I grabbed the spray paint that dad uses on the car and got the coaster and some paper and sprayed aorund it.. it will make a lovely looking piece i have to buy black spray paint tomorrow.

Welpers back to work for me now..

a week in passing

Another week has slipped by. I cant remember much of what i have dreamed as of late. I have been down all week getting over tonsilitus, my tablets that i usually take didnt mix with the ones the dr prescribed so I was sleeping up to 16 hrs a day. I spent most of the week zonked out in bed. Though I managed in that time create two cakes... black forest and beautiful cup cakes for louises 30th. They turned out rather beautifully.

I am feeling a bit better today, I managed to go out for breakfast, i had a crossiant with jam and a vanilla latte which was farrrrr toooo milky for me. ergh. Left me feeling a little ill and having sick burps for most of the afternoon. Im whinging a lot here, i know, i know. I have not really cooked any meals this week.. mum has been when she gets home from work.. i will turn over a new leaf and cook and cook next week. I was given a whole bag of lemons so im out to make curd perhaps tomorrow when my headache goes.

I introduced mum to holumi cheese the other day.. delish. i would say i served it with some lemon wedges yummy yummy yummy. Im going to fry up the rest of it in the coming days, i served it with a plain salad. I was a little bored this afternoon so I went shopping on etsy.. that cheered me up no end... i'm still half there. Im looking at birthday presents and things for myself... i found THE perfect watch..im gonna soooooo buy for ME ME ME.. Bloody am so annoyed with myself... my phone credit got taken away from me. So im starting again.... grrrrr

Welpers I think i'm going to go back to etsy now

ciao

dream

had a dream i was working in a jewish bakery.l. pretty darned amazing. I walked along this long driveway to this house that had so much lavender around it and it was a beautiful house.. wooden.. just lovely. Had water or a spring or something pouring out from under it... it was a lovely sunny day.. and I was absolutely happy there. The next part of my dream was of elizabeth eating fish and chips in a gutter or something..then i woke up at about 7:30 to dad opening my bedroom windows and blinds. ergh.

anyhow i had a fab dream. I also managed well mum did more to the point of bungling up the black forrest cake for allens birthday.. we managed to make it look a complete mess and very dodgy looking cake! LOL its hilarious ill post a photo up tomorrow.. oh so funny.

neglect

I have neglected writing here for quite some time now.. almost over a month. I guess i just have not bothered at all. I have a journal so i have been writing things down I guess.. ive been recording my dreams there too. I love dreaming. Possibly cause I like that world better than this one at times.. its sad i think I live more there than I do here at the moment. *sigh*

Lets see casting my memory back... I hope to head to the city some day and stay a weekend at a friends house. Something like that. I bought clare bowditch new album its really bloody good and i recommend it, highly. I also purchased the sound track to winner and losers. I like the show, there are some good songs on the album.

So I ave found myself reading a bit and watching dvds a lot. I have done no art work for a while... it all came to a grinding halt. Im hosting a pity party right now.. crying and crying over some little things. I have to pull myself together and go and cook dinner in minute. I also found out i have tonsilitus atm and my throat hurts like crazy, dry and sore, the dr i saw was just horrible and very uncaring. So ive been sleeping a lot these past few days, getting in a lot of zzzzzzzs waking up at 9amish. At times going to bed at 9pm.

Anyhow I better get going write more later alligator.
