Monday Blues...

So, I have had an interesting and eventful weekend... I managed to get Friday off for "studying." Then, I got my reply from the scholarship I had applied for to go to a meditation retreat in Seattle in a couple weeks... No dice, and after looking into prices found that it's a little too much money to spoon out right now... So needless to say I spent most of my weekend in a bit of a funk amd as a result didn't really do too much crafty stuff.

However! I managed to drag my mopey ass over to Chapters and Micheals and got 2 new journals and a sketch pad. That helped considerably😜 I still haven't written in them, but it'll come😜

I'm also continuing on with my looming experiments, which are going REALLY well! When I was at Micheals I was also browsing through the yarn, but my will power held out and I didn't buy anything! Yay! There's lots of different thicknesses and textures that I can't wait to try out on my loom. And, of course, the bright colours. So many bright colours! I may have drooled a lil bit!

I also have plans for the sketchbook (other than the obvious sketching). I'm planning on trying to make an adult coulouring book (or kid if I can't make it intricate enough), and do a trial run with it at farmers markets this summer and see if anyone buys it😊 Pretty excited about that actually! Just have to get started now! Probably on lunch tomorrow (felt sick as death today). The bus ride blogging is also not really helping😜

I digress! The journals I have no plans for, but to add to my intricate collection of journals and maybe try art journalling... I should probably try to do some actual journaling too... Hmm...

I also REALLY want to start painting with my acrylics. Previously I took a couple classes on actual lifelike landscapes, but I think I kinda want to try abstract? Maybe? Look out for it on Instagram! @renaissance_renegade

Although I'm pretty bummed about not getting to go to Seattle, things are actually looking up for me😊 My next entry I'm going to be touching on being called an artist for the first time!! ...I'm mostly writing it down here so I don't forget...

Until tomorrow!!! ...probably...

Blogging on the Bus...

Ugh... The bus ride... The most hated part of my day... Mainly because of the motion sickness, but there are MANY other contributing factors😜

But I digress! My life is super stressy right now! There, I said it! I am not the type of person who enjoys juggling, or playing the balancing act. So, I have decided to make my otherwise unpleasant and more then a little bit nauseating busride into my blogging time. Because trying to squeeze it all in between school, work, and home (which is a juggling act in itself) maybe I can use up some otherwise wasted time.

That all depends on the bus driver of course! Apparently someone forgot to pass along the message to a bunch of them that you don't have to slam on the breaks to stop, or hammer on the gas to go...😫  This one definetly didn't get the message, so I'll be continuing this post when I get home...

AAANNNDDD I'm back😜 So, as I was saying before I was passing out there, BALANCE!! Every time I think I find some, the universe is all HAH, just kidding. 

Anyways! As for my creative journey today... I'm continuing with my daily doodles on Instagram at #dailydoodles... And I'm writing some short fiction for a magazine submission. Also, operation bomb all the local papers with letters to the editor will commence as soon as I finish my latest CIP course and free up some time😜 But, that's why it's a journey right?
