exhausted

I didn't post yesterday at all! I was just exhausted yesterday, mentally and physically. It was a push to get myself to sew last night... I feel like I'm beating my head against the wall with these costumes and it's just so tiring and depressing. so here's a sketch... I have no idea. I know I drew it in the car going to St Louis a while back, but I ...

yuck yuck yuck

today was pretty icky. My migraine was still hanging in there, but my nausea was off the charts and I almost went home after lunch. But I hung in there... got home and took a little nap. Then Chase took a face cast of me for my Ms Marvel mask, which actually felt really good on my headache LOL and then a shower. Right now I feel ok. I think ...

Obsolete jobs, netflix, etc

This is a neat article about obsolete jobs, relinking from Ash. One of the things that stands out to me is that we had a milkman/milk delivery when I was a kid. The article says only 7% of homes had milk delivery by 1975. I think we stopped getting it around 86 or 87? It's a weird little leftover sort of thing that I'm glad I got to experience. We had a little ...

Estate Sale pics

Had a really fun day with Dad and @LindenAsh at the Estate sale. Basically the house was built around the Civil War, and has belonged to the same family up until a month ago when the last family member died. We got there around 11:30 and the line was stretched back out a ways. They were only letting around 60 people at a time inside, to keep from getting overcrowded. When someone ...

Seize the Clay

Today was Cat's birthday so we all went to Seize the Clay. It was a lot of fun. The highlight was Cat's Stank-Eyed Cinderella. (After I took this pic she scraped one of the eyeballs off and redid them to be more even LOL)

Testing, 1, 2, 3

This is a test post. As you can see below, Blogger is getting rid of the kind of blog I use - so this is my new wordpress blog. It's pretty bare bones at the moment, I'm still working on it.

a random thought

The nastiest "critique" I've ever gotten in regards to my artwork was this: "Real artists use a ruler, why can't you?" It was in the middle of a very long, very unasked-for and very "holier-than-thou" critique, but that one line has been the part of it that stuck with me. The thing is, for that particular project? I actually HAD used a ruler.

Cleaning and Exploring

Weekend was nice and laid back. New Year's Eve I was off work. Chase had to go shoot the game. I stayed home, and I think got a little sick? Seemed like I was fighting off a cold or something. I laid on the couch most of the day and drew a little bit. New Year's was lame, probably the lamest New Year's Eve we've ever had and that's saying ...

Walmart

I really hate admitting to "liking" anything in regards to Walmart, but I have to admit that I really like two of their Christmas commercials, This one I've only seen on tv once. Big box of meat! The little brother's reaction is cute. This other one gets a lot more play, and it's not as funny - but I enjoy the song they used, and I have a good laugh ...
