Photo's from Mary's

When I house sat for my awesome friend Mary last month, I stayed an extra week when she got back and we got dolled up with leaves in out hair and took photos in her backyard. :)


I want to go back. :( I miss her and her kitties. And being close to the studio at school.





The black one is Neko, the other is Wilco. :) I more to post later, and I need to ask her is she care is I post her pic too.

Time to defunk

I've been in a sort of funk lately, and as a result haven't been posting much. A funk of being flat broke and unsuccessfully looking for a job, and being angry, bitter, and frustrated about the whole ordeal. It's very demotivating! And it's turned my brain into a whole bundle of negative thoughts to the point where even watching certain things on television will set me off into a bad day because I will go into fits of jealousy over the stupidest thing, such as the home makeover or house hunting shows, or even people winning things on the Price is Right. It's really pathetic and not the kind of person I really am, or want to be. And I really believe that being negative and feeling sorry for yourself only brings more bad things to you. So it's time to get rid of the funk. It won't happen overnight, but I'm trying.
I finally have a new photo posted on The Understory.

Warm Buddha

I have been reading a lot on Buddhism and enjoying it.
Now I'm off to start defunking!

1 year and 7 months of dreads

I wanted to share that the 4th was my 1 year and 7 month anniversary of having dreadlocks. :) They've come a long way, I'm really proud of them. I can't wait for them to get really long.

House Sitting, and a giveaway!

I've been house sitting for a friend of mine while she is out of town. Been feeding her kitties, watering plants, and driving her car (woot!). Since she lives by campus that means I've gotten to get in the studio and make stuff. :D I can't wait to post the mugs I've been making. Anywho,

There's a fantastic giveaway at Sweet Bead Studio where you can win these awesome prizes:

Post storm walk

I walk around my block just about every evening an hour or so before dark for exercise and the peacefulness of it. Living in the country right outside of town is nice and full of birds chirping and cows mooing and taking my walk is my favorite time of the day. I go around the block 4 times which is apx 3.2 miles.
A couple of weeks ago a storm had just cleared and the clouds and atmosphere was amazing. I wish I would have gotten my camera out sooner, but I still managed to get some pics of my walk that evening.




There was another, closer, larger cloud like this before I grabbed my camera that had a striking resemblance to a giant pie. :9


LOVE those huge post-storm cumulus clouds.




I don't walk up the dirt path, it's 'no trespassing' territory. But I'm quite curious to see whats up there. I think I'll Google earth it later, haha.










I wish you could see the fog rising up from the street in some of these photos.



Ipod cord :9




I hope there are many more moments like this as the summer progresses, and that I can get some more shots to do it some justice.
