sometimes..

there's really nothin' to say..

sOoo.. i found a cute pic.. cuz i'm good at finding cute pics, i guess.. lol

and that's good enough for me..

it ain't mine either.. i just grabbed it from the good ol' WWW..  go figure..

then, i thought maybe i'd share a lil' doodle with u.. cuz sumtimes that can be a fun thing to do, too..

i hope you're enjoying your weekend.. <3

emotions..

funky kinda day.. makes me wish i had an *off* button..
i'm sure i'm not the only one who goes thru stuff like this, but when i'm goin' thru it seems sOoo real.. & sOoo bleh.

ewww.

sO.. i decided to put down a haiku for you.. maybe you can relate to my yuck.

a haiku.

i need control NOW.
but i'm a girl.. and moody. o_O
what's up with this yuck??

a lil' doodle.. she's a bit moody, eh? :)

okay.. so i'm no poet.. i'm aware of that. but aren't haikus 'spoze to make a girl feel cool?  lol..

i've been trying to learn guitar forever, too.. but i'm no guitarist either. sOo.. i'll just doodle guitar-playin' babes in the meantime..  *sigh*

feelin' better, by the way.. 

don't ever end the way you began - if it's sucky. ;) 

TODAY is..

"Come & TAKE it DAY"

you can't make this stuff up. (read about it here)

all i hafta say is...

somebody's probably goin' to jail..  O_o

only good thing to come out of this holiday for me was a lil' doodle.. 

NOTE to self: you really should make up holidays that benefit EVERYbody..

but not in this way..

sure, cops are benefitting (they won't be bored).. you benefit when you take what you want.

but, if the end result is you're locked up.. are you happy at the end of your *holiday*??

i don't think so.

happy "come & take it day" lol..

just kidding.

gotta be in a good mood...

if not, i become a grumbler.

ewwww..  O_____o

people don't like being around pain in the butts grumblers.

it's annoying. (and to think i was about to *go* there)

even Jesus doesn't like when people complain.. (Phil. 2:14 do EVERYthing without complaining/grumbling/murmuring..) 

sometimes, i just can't think of anything to write about.. then i stumble over sumthin' that basically sums up what i'd like to say but dare not cuz if i say it then i'd become a part of the masses of people that people complain about who are pain in the butts grumblers.

heh heh..  (that was on purpose)

anyway.. i found this..

I am numb--this blog is numb.
I think I'm done.

I don't have anything positive to say lately.  I don't take the time to really put together well thought out posts either.  I'm starting to not care and no one really reads it anyway.  I think it's time to let this blog go.

See ya somewhere else! 

(grumbler's credit.. not that grumblers want credit for grumbling.. but OH WELL.. shoulda thought about that BEFORE you typed. lol)

then i was like..

WOW. 

why is that girl buggin' out like that?  doesn't she know there's a reason to keep going?
not that i don't understand how she's feeling, but come onnnnn... 

pull yOself together, chicKLet!!

i'm talking to her AND myself..
READERS are worth my time. i like to share my thoughts (whether silly or slightly normal) with YOU!

but WHY? 

.

.

cuz, i said so. 

;)

sO, i decided to write a rhybloem. (rhyming blog-poem, get it??  nevermind.. lol)

Readers make me all happy self

Followers make me all joyful elf

I type & doodle & google, too..

Don't even think for a minute that i do this all for you..

but you do help me to keep going... ;)

so, thanks. :)

that's me.. when i'm all happy self. 

antiquely-inspired..

still not feeling like myself gives me plenty of doodle-time. (see last thursday's post for details)

i think the *students* took out a bit of my brain with that WISDOM tooth..

seriously.

i mean, WHY am i feeling groggy? why do i have a constant discomfort in my head & face?  & why is my face looking like sloth from the goonies?

ok.. not really, but it feels like it does.. this is NOT me, by the way..

umm.. cuz i just had a bone cut from my head. apparently, that's the part of my *procedure* that the wonderful dental students forgot to mention.

i am NOT a medical anything. i don't even like to take pills.

i felt pretty sucky this morning only to look in the mirror & find out i look how i feel.

ew.

not. attractive.

O_o

sOo.. i'm feelin' all desperate like *maybe* they really DID remove sumthin' they weren't 'spoze to.. & WHAT WAS IT??  was it really part of my brain??

i googled. google can be very kind. and patient with people like me.

google basically said, "girlfriend, they cut your bone off yO head. you might be swollen for a LOOOONG time."

thanks a lot, google. 

that's encouraging.

-_____-

sOo, here i am. feelin' somehow like that piece of my bone that's missin' had some brain attached to it.

honestly, if you felt like i do, you'd probably be thinkin' the SAME thing.

here's a doodle that i did to help ease my mind.. makes me think my subconscious mind is whispering..

vacation..

happy fall y'all!!

a lil' doodle to celebrate this rainy 1st day of autumn..

:)

more birdies..

they aren't all that special.. i just like to doodle. a LOT.

4 lil' birdie friends

i feed birdies on my fire escape.. maybe that's what makes me draw them so much.. i enjoy watching them enjoy tiny nibbles & fight due to mere greed. lol..

they're fun. :)

fun furnishings...

i found THIS blog!!  i thought it was too cool!  next time i find a stick, it's goin' on my wall, baby!!

how cute is this lil' touch to a wall? i <3 it!

writer's block..?

that's what i'm dealing with right now. i just finished a project & i TOTALLY forgot to post about it. (it sure would come in handy right now..)

instead, i'm left with tonight's "exciting" happening.

repair work. *bleh*

i'd rather leave you with a cool quote. i think that would be more fun..

An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail.

Edwin Land

great words to live by.. i hope your day is creative!! :)

iPad envy..

not the greatest name for that lil' gadget, but i'm glad that i can play with it every now & then.. if you don't already know, my husband is a tech geek. any latest gadget is an unquestionable "must-have" for him.. meanwhile, i could care less about the stuff..

sOo, when he brought home the coveted iPad, i was like, "okayyyy.. that's nice." UNTIL i used the thing!

& i don't get to play with it too often... but last night i did a quick five minute doodle.. WITH MY FINGER!! what in the world.

makes you never wanna use a pencil/paintbrush/marker/stylus again!

i'm sort of addicted. =D

by the way.. the colors are WAY more vibrant in "real life.." fun.

funky rings!

okay... maybe i'll be the first one to say this... but aren't these rings just a lil' too much??

they're definitely clever designs, but can't you "hurt" someone if you forget that you're wearing one of these..

i have to say that i'll be the one walking up to the random people wearing them, just to get a closer look..

=p

you can see more HERE..

i NEED modpodge!!

or something like it.. i feel sO deprived! LOL

apparently this stuff is GOLD.. and i'm missin' out! i mean.. look how amaZing this frame turned out.. you can see more here..

i bought the "spray" kind of acrylic stuff..

i get the heebie-jeebies just thinkin' of sprayin' that stuff and breathing in all of the noxious fumes..

sO.. why didn't anyone tell me sooner that i could just use modpodge and a sponge brush.. to decoupage my ENTIRE world!? is it that you just don't know... or are you like me, holding out so people don't steal your ideas?? :P

either way, i want a BIG container for Christmas.. the stuff that GOLD is made of.. ;-)

copycats..

i've had my own issue with hoarded designs that never "do" anything for anyone but myself, because, i didn't want anyone to "steal" my ideas..

what a joke.

oddly enough, as King Solomon would say, "there's nothing new under the sun"

this, i dare say, is VERY true. most things that i've designed or created, i've found that someone else made it famous or, available.. heh heh..

sO.. i'm pretty proud of this particular "copycat"

the artist himself may not agree, but i think that her "knock-off" is much more enjoyable!

check out the texture of the second pic.. and the actual painting (the first).. colors are much more brilliant, but i like the fact that the copycat used fabric remnants.. i'm all about repurposing fabrics to create new art.. =)

ONE Lego® is all it takes...

YES.. there's only ONE Lego® balancing that whole... umm.. thing.

:P

art!

"A sincere artist is not one who makes a faithful attempt to put on to canvas what is in front of him, but one who tries to create something which is, in itself, a living thing." ~William Dobell~

i agree with this guy!.. i mean.. ART should come alive! =)

and this guy... Guido Daniele

has a very unique understanding of this "philosophy"

amazing paintings, totally created on hands as canvas..
