Sewing, and Felt and Sock Monkeys OH MY!

I want to sew so many cute things. I wish I had a natural talent for sewing like I did for drawing.
These are my latest obsessions that I want to venture into:
Heather Bailey Patterns

Socktopus

OH how i do miss the bloggety blog blog

Okay so everyone is talking about it. Michael Jackson died. I know he was weird. I know he was creepy, but he was a very large part of my 80's child hood and when I think about rocking out to thriller when I was in the 3rd grade I get the warm fuzzies. For career day in the 3rd grade we were supposed to go to school dressed as what we wanted to be when we grew up. I hadn't grasped that I was an artist yet and I went to school in FULL OUT Michael Jackson attire ... except that I had on little black high heels with my red pleather silver stud encrusted moon walking suite. I was like I am Michael Jackson if he was a girl... oh so young if I only new hahahaha.
Anyways what I wanted to say was that even though he turned out to be a sad strange little man... I am still really sad that he is not out there yelling YEE HEE HEE! and dancing around like only Michael Jackson could.

I really felt sorry for him for what happened to him in his childhood. HE went all wonky and probably went on to scar lots more children. I wish he could have had a more healthy life and not mutilated his face. I will still miss Michael Jackson. I am still sad to see him gone.

Okay I am offically signed up for blogging, and myspace, and twitter, and facebook and blah de blah blah .... I better go out and do some cool stuff so I have something to blog about. The most exciting thing that happened lately was I had to help move the cows across the road. You see there are strategic points for herding the cows.

You gotta post somebody in the nooks and cranies so they don't run off down into the trees and get all separated. You hoop and holler to drive 'em on through. Yep exciting.

I have been coming up with lots of art ideas and job ideas so now I just need to get up off my blog and do them all.

yeeee haw... over and out

legos and rainbows

Well, I came to spend the weekend at my brother's house in Alabama and I didn't realize how much I had missed my niece and nephew since I had moved away 3 and a half years ago. They have made me laugh all weekend long with their musings on life and the small little pronuciation goofs that CRACK ME UP! Dark vader, General Greeveeous, and bruptly were my favorite uses of terms this weekend. Does anyone know HOW MANY PIECES THAT LEGO STAR WARS SHIPS COME WITH??? I ask all who ever think of buying lego ships for kids who are 8 and under to seriously think of how long it is gonna take to build! okay??? These things come with catalog instruction booklets.

It is good fun though, even if your smile fades a little as you pour out those packages of tiny little bits and pieces, and then open another package with yet more bits and pieces... and more bits and pieces. I said waaaaa I am not smart enough to engineer a lego space ship LOL!
My nephew hugged me and said "Don't say that! YOU are smart enough to build a little space ship. You might need me to help you with this big one though." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I thought I was gonna pee my pants. So master level legoist I shall be by tomorrow evening when I make the Star Wars Y wing Space ship my bitch and fly it off to the Degobah system.

I have also been schooled in much anime since I have been here. Inuyasha... I was into My Little Pony, Rainbow Brite, and Strawberry Shortcake at 12. Actually I AM NOW STILL INTO all the things I was at 12 hee hee! I can dig on sci-fi stuff and fantasy stuff... but sometimes anime makes me want to break the tele. The humor and pauses in the story make me feel uncomfortable like someone told a bad joke that I don't even get and everyone is laughing hysterically over. But hey, I also thought MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE was the shizz when I was 12 and watched THUNDERCATS religiously. After returning to these fine features after becoming a seasoned somewhat-adult I found they ..... Suck. So maybe the Inuyasha will be my niece's THUNDERCAT experience. Even though the THUNDERCATS still hold a fond place in my heart I can't sit through any episodes without wanting to kick the TV.

I hope to visit my Besties soon! Like this Saturday if the powers that be will lemme catch a flight. I miss them very much and I want to go to CARD making class and laugh until my face hurts.

One of my old school buddies said something interesting to me because of the situation I am in with kind of starting my life over a bit. He said horses can't mend eggshells but there are alternative medicines.... He is living proof cause same thing happened to him once. Now he is engaged to a nice young lady and they both seem happy and made for one another. Stories like theirs give me hope. I also still hold out hope that my current story might have a happy ending in it somehow. Always the dreamer eh? Here's to alternative medicines! May I come upon some and use them to my best ability.

Don't forget that pirates are awesome.... and unicorns poop rainbows :D.
