Here on the blog of random awesomeness. I will write projects, events, crafts, short stories, etc. each week! I hope it will be an awesome dose of awesomeness in your life!
I said that I'd start posting more but I lied. I'm sorry. I can't even really say that I was busy, I've just been sitting on the couch making things like this,
I need a life......... So in between THAT and watching a lot of Doctor Who and Good Mythical Morning. I need to get back used to doing school work and stuff. I should be able to post more. Sigh. I hope that I'll be able to remember to post more...
We all know that's not happening. LOL ya'll know me way too well for that.
I did recently go to Gatlinburg with family and I'm still unpacking because who has their life together enough to unpack right away? Not me that's who, it's been like three weeks.
Here's some pictures for your viewing pleasures,
(We are eating at mellow mushroom)
(That awkward moment when your cousin turns into a cyclopes and half of your head lobs off)
We went to this really weird golf course in a Gatlinburg, it was all black light and neon and circus themed. It was odd....
I also found a awesome shop on the strip The Sock Shop. Must I say more?
SLOTHS.
We also went to a mountain coaster at like 11:00 at night. Hints the pitch blackness.
I am someone that I like to find the small satisfactions in life. I like to make a strangers day or even second. When someone I have never met or never even had the pleasure of exchanging even a brief glance decides to go out of their way to make my day happier it's is the sweetest thing that can happen.
I hope I'm one of those people, but everyday life seem to get in the way of trying to help others. But in all reality isn't that what Christianity is about? Going out of out of our way to reach out to others to show them that there is a reason to live on with their head held high. We look at other peoples life and circumstances with such judgement and recluse but isn't that what turns people away from Christians us acting like we are the kings and queens of the world and that others are second class citizens. No wonder people don't want to listen us!
We are human too and acting as if we are the superior is going to do nothing but form hatred and pain towards us. I can go for hours ranting about Christians putting themselves on the highest pedestal.
I can not stress this enough we are not better than them we are just cleansed with God, we have the hope of external life with God forever! How to we share this beautiful message if we are tossing it down to them from our gold pedestal? We can't. That's like trying to help a person with a broken foot out of a ditch without touching them. It's not happening. Thanks for listening to my little rant. If you want to read some more posts like this one comment down below telling me so I have many topics I can rant about!
Yeah, somehow I haven't posted since late last month.... I have no excuse! I can't promise anything anymore!! I mean I sat down to write up something real quick like two hours ago and then I got distracted going through my Pandora stations to find a song I wanted to listen to as I wrote. I have problems and no excuse.
Let me have a midnight ramble for a sec, I think that as general rule as humans we shouldn't make excuses. They aren't really valid 80% percent of the time and frankly most people don't really care much.
And let's be honest, if we have to have step by step explanation of why we failed to accomplish a task, we could have avoided it somehow. I may be wrong but in my case this is usually true!
I hate that we feel like we feel like we need to scrape up reasons we fail! We are human and we fail sometimes we make mistakes, we deserve to be forgiven without great reasons. I will make the statement that trusted and forgiven are on two different tree limbs. Because you have forgiven someone that doesn't mean you have to trust them. Like you can forgive me for my absence but when I tell you I'll be posting every week, I wouldn't trust me...
Ya'll are the best, thanks for being patient with me.
Hey guys I haven't posted anything in a while, it have been hard for me to write posts because all three of my family members that live in my house would be wanting to use the computer at the same time. Let's just say that 90% of the time two people needed to use the computer. Also our desktop lives in my parents room so it's hard to find a time that they aren't coming in and out asking me questions. So I finally got to where I have my own laptop (SQUEEEEE) and if I can stop procrastinating then I can start posting more. Not every day mind you, but at least weekly. Also it's easier for me to post in the winter. I'm more open to going places and I can just think better all curled up in a snugly blanket.
Also I'd love to take you guys along with me on trips, but I hate when I go with people somewhere and the whole time their taking pictures nonstop. I feel like that is the flaw in this generation, living life through the viewfinder.
So even when I take a few pictures, I feel really rude. So to some degree I need to get over myself and take more pictures, because in reality if you just snap a few and put it away, no one really cares. But I tend to be way too self conscious and paranoid about the littlest of situations.
If I am buying something, I research, research, RESEARCH. I never buy any devices without figuring out which one is the best cheap one I could buy, what has everything I'd need what are the best brands for what I want, things like that. Well computers don't come cheap this one was three hundred-nineteen bucks pretty cheap for a nice-ish laptop, but I it was way over my head because, where does a thirteen year old go to find three hundred dollars? Family told me to save it up which would would have taken me several years seeing that I might have fifty bucks altogether right now. I'm a poor, poor person that never buys anything. Like ANYTHING, except felt and googly eyes. Ever.
So if you don't get a present on a holiday it isn't because you aren't a awesome person I just couldn't find a pattern for a Whalemingo on Pinterest. (If your wondering, what the heck are you talking about, and what a Whalemingo is. In an episode of Phineas and Ferb, a awesome children's show I have no business watching. Buford, the neighborhood bully, has a encounter with a alien Whalemingo named Tristan. It's possibly the weirdest music video I've ever seen but I love it LOL)
ANYWAY. I was never going to get enough pocket change to buy this said computer and asking my parents for the money has always been completely out of the question for me and my siblings just as personal rules. If we have it usually we've earned it to some extent.
Well, my grandmother caught through the grapevine, (the way we usually communicate in my family) that I was saving up for a computer. Occasionally she feels so inclined to help us out with this kind of stuff. So she paid the buff of the expense for the laptop and I think I payed twenty bucks. So shout out to grandparents everywhere, they can be crazy but they are also the sweetest people in the world. We need to spend every second with them wisely or you will regret it in the future. Also I think we really underrate the people that are older than us. Because sure you are a expert with technology, but if you got lost in the woods, you'd be dead. But your grandmother over here knows how to skin a squirrel. Who's winning now? Well.... not the squirrel. Oh and you're not a winner either, so who's winning? Oh, granny? Yes. Yes. Granny is winning.
Just putting that out there to chew on.
Anyways now that I've thoroughly promoted grandparents everywhere I will now say,
This is probably one of my favorite DIYs I've done they are super quick, easy, beautiful, and effective and didn't require a few trips to the store. So let's get into this thing.
Grab white card stock and oil pastels or crayons. I prefer oil pastels because the blend better and they have a smoother finish.
This step is fun you just totally go crazy and make random blotches that blend together, make sure the colors are bright so the show well beside black.
Grab you some paint and dish soap, and something you can combine them on .
Mix together equal parts of both and slowly fold it together so it doesn't get too bubbly.
Apply one quick even coat of the paint liquid stuff
It will look a bit patchy, so put on several coats till opaque one it drys use a tooth pick, thumbtack, skewer or other pointy object and gently sketch out whatever you feel so inclined to do. HAve fun with this!
The first project was circles into animals, I'm sure I was cutting some of the rules for the animals but I have a alien, a bunny questioning my choice of pink for his nose, a angry evil cat, a extremely fat mouse, and contemplative pig and a messed up hippo
.
This is a drawing of my cat Rigby, please compare the cuteness.
Because I am me, I forgot my camera on camera day so I drew this lil camera...
This is a group picture of a device, meaning you draw the just of what Ms. Christie aka our art teacher tells you such as the shape of your device then pass it, add a strap, pass add a view finder.
I ended up with a cameraish thingy.
Then we have this group drawing of a pet, I ended up with a monkey, pig, human, lion.
For Flower Power day we learned how to draw flowers so we have one with shading (the black pen), color (the pinkish one), and lines (the boring one).
Then I did this doodle for the Flower Power over all drawing.
More doodles.
This violin for Still Life day.
I remembered that I did a violin drawing last year too so I unearthed it and.... wow I mean wow that was just last year!
This one is where we listened to different musics and did watercolor squiggles with how it made us feel with color and pencil stuffs and things.
Pictures...
Yup...
Doodles
Beach scene, because I can't do a mainstream scene.
Every year it seems like I never have consistent gifts for Mother and Father's day, I always get my Mom something cool and Dad gets nothing that year or Dad gets something awesome and Mom a forked over Hershey's bar. Seldom do they both get equal gifts. That happened this year again, sorry Mommy... this Father's Day I made my Father these adorable tacos.
I know he shall love them! I haven't named them yet but I will, I want to come up with a cute way to wrap them up them up too. These are so cute, I won't even take credit for making it. Which which means all I have to do is link to her video but I'll act like I'm being a really nice person and giving Ann the credit.
Yesterday I was laying on my bed, it's really hot and I'm sweating, it's like 12:40 AM and I can't go to sleep, so what do I do?
Stalk all the people I subscribe to on YouTube and Blogger. I had nothing else to do you know like sleeping or something like that, so I pull up Ann Le's channel Anneorshine she is the cutest little human ever and makes the coolest of things. I actually discovered her channel from her DIY Accessories video. (Here's the link to that Ann's DIY Accessories Video_) And while I'm promoting her here is the link to her blog, LifeAnnStyle
But anyways I pull up her channels and the first video says DIY Cute Taco Pillow Plushie (Father's Day gift Idea)n | Anneorshine. And I said to myself, I like DIY's, I like cute things, Taco's are BEAUTIFUL and pillows amazing for sleep. I wish I was sleeping. OOOO PLUSHIES. So i clicked on it and was amazed to find the simplicity so after watching it for another ten times I did it the next day. I made a papa taco and a baby taco to kinda resemble me and my father. Even if it doesn't look like us I feel like it takes the essence of our personality and put it in a taco, I think it even looks a little like us!
The size she did was more pillowy but mine are more plushie seeing the that I have minimal fabric, this is a great DIY for leftover felts because the insides of the taco is just weird shapes hot glued in a taco shell.
Thanks for reading a have a fantastic Fathers Day!
