God Visited

Well I am so lucky that God visited my today. Hi God!  Its raining today the tulips are coming up it really feel like spring.  I am feeling dissatisfying with my school experience and not sure what to do about it .  Maybe I don't have to spend money to go to school,maybe I can just be an artist.  I am a artist but I want to just wake up and do working on whatever I want to work on.  God I wish I was RICH!  Then there is the thing about whether I am any good.  Ok I will stop now.  Happy Friday!! 

Busy,busy,busy

Well after the last comment I felt that I needed to at least say hi,  Life is really crazy busy for me right now.  Its the end of the semester and I have a BIG project due next Tuesday night.  I finished the felted bag that I have been working on and an now working on designing one myself which is really fun! I can 't wait for school to be done so I can spend all my spare time working on it.    Its been really sunny and all the tulips  and daffodils are coming up.  I planted some sweet peas on Sunday I know that I am a bit over excited about spring coming but I figure if its too cold they will just shiver a bit.  YEAH !! Spring is HERE!!

art live, work

So How do i figure out the whole life as an artist thing and still make money to support my art and family?  Is school the answer?  What I really want to do is work for a knitting mag where I can take photos and work behind the scene's.  Its seems like a pipe dream, how do I make it happen?  Where do I go from here?  Or should just be content that I have a good job with benefits and work on my art (knitting and photography) after work hours?  I have these big ideas and can't make them work because of time or money.  I really want a 8 color ink jet printer but there like $1000 and that's just not happening right now.  OK I could go on and on... Feeling a bit sorry for myself today you have to excuse me.  Live is good I am going to the yarn store this weekend...  YEAH!

the bag

Well another week has gone by and the felted bag still is not done.  I have three weeks of school left so I may just have to set it aside until the semester is over and of course its the busy time at my work place so... the bag just sits and whispers to me and make me feel guilty for not working on it.  

We are going away on vacation in a few weeks and I plan on getting a lot of knitting done then.  I have 2 friends who have buns in the oven so I am thinking about what to make them.  I have already scoped out the local yarn store where we will be going so I plan on making my way there sometime while we are in the area.  This shop is also a book store so I think that I can lure my husband with me and we can have a date.  the kid will be with her grandma as we are going on a "family vacation"  I can't wait to be in the sun where its over 40 degrees.

basket ball and little time

So at our house its all about the b-ball, you know March Madness and all that, Its also fast approaching the end to my semester.  I have been staying up late trying to work on my own art while  trying to pump out thumb nails with themes like playful and bold, all surrounded by the din of screaming fans. The end is near with a summer of images and knitting ahead.  

so proud

So I just have to sing the praises for my amazing 11 old.  She fell in love with Ballet and has been working very hard at dance class.  She really wanted to try out for the summer intensive.  5 weeks seven hours a day so we went to the audition two weeks ago she danced her heart out and we got the letter today.  She got in.  You have to understand that she has many challenges in her daily life.  she reads at a second grade level on a good day spelling and writing are also really hard for her.  but when she dances none of that matters,when she dances you can see how everything that is hard falls away.  Regardless how I feel about ballet as a dance form  I see how much she benefits from it.  I am so grateful that she has found something that she loves and that she excels at.  I am one proud Mother!

Cold Sun

 The sky was bright and blue today.  I spent the early afternoon with family that I don't hang out with much, It was nice to hang out with them.  I did miss my sister, this is one of the first holidays that she wasn't at my mothers with us.  She really does make it more fun and A few people mentioned her absents.  I know that she reads this everyday, not guilt please!  My Mom always come through with the good Easter Chocolate.  I don't celibate Easter but my Mom is a practicing Catholic, Its REALLY important to her at we spend time on the Holidays.  For years I tried to figure out how not to go.  Now as I get older I have decided this is something that I am willing, no happy to do for her. 

Then I came home and baked the weekly bread, and worked on some images.  All and all its been a good day.  

Peace and Happy Spring!
