Happy Halloween! SMALL turn out for trick or treaters tonight. Wish I had gone with my initial thought and not do it this year. 2 massive bags bought without using the coupon I was going to use thus the reason for 2 bags but was sidetracked by the funny cashier and forgot to use it. Oh well, have leftover candy that should last until February.
Peace and fabulousness.
I took on the challenge of being creative at least once a day for the year 2012 using color. Looking back at all the pieces from 2012, I realized the ones that stood out and gave me the most joy, were the creatures (sad frog, the monsters,...) 2013 was the year of creatures. This year (2014) I'm continuing with the creatures but making them around the theme of children's stories/nursery rhymes. When all the characters are finished, I'll assemble them into a story picture.

Day 302 (1398)
This week needs to end now. Great time with the students, but sometimes having a strong gut instinct and sensitivety to other's emotions is a tiring thing to endure, especially this week at work. Wish more could be said. Finding it hard to get up in the morning.
Today's piece is a sidestep from the story and has some Halloween flavor.
Peace and fabulousness.

Day 301 (1397)
Cold, rainy/snowslushy type day. Brunch style pot luck, giggles with students and the beginning stage of Christmas Program sets made it a little less gloomy.
Peace and fabulousness.

Day 300 (1396)
One of those off center weeks where my spidey senses are tingling. Could be the full moon but doubt it, know my deep intuition too well. Plus dreams are in over drive.
Love today's piece! Love love love! Sorry but I LOVE it.
Peace and fabulousness.

Day 299 (1395)
Productively odd Monday and have a hunch with the full moon and Halloween coming it's just going to get odder. Woke up dreaming of my next art piece, which turned into a series of three as walked between dreaming and waking up. As dreadfully my dreams have been lately, this was refreshing.
Realizing with today's piece, need to reconfigure how I do the mouths.
Peace and fabulousness.

Hello Friday. I've been waiting for you.
Today's piece is technically in the realm of the story, but I'm taking artistic liberties with it. Lol.
Peace and fabulousness.

Happy Thursday! Last night was a long night of over dreaming awaking every 15 minutes that felt like hours of exhausting dreams. Other than that a two steps forward type day. Beautiful afternoon as well. So glad tomorrow is Friday though. Looking forward to a weekend of creativity.
Peace and fabulousness.

1 step forward 2 steps back sort of day. Unprofessional professionals, coughing...

Cray Cray day. A kindergartener out of control. Gabby older students. Cough 15% better. Prickly job of thinning out raspberry bushes done. A fun purchase arrived with a celebs handwritten thanks. And the mental focus of a gnat. Awoke with ennui. Going to sleep with the same.
Peace and fabulousness.

Day 290 (1386)
Artistically focused day. Finished one piece, did another and started another that is still whispering want it wants to be. Can't wait for it to flow into tomorrow's creative projects.
Only 3 plants died after last night's cold temps. Amazed!
Character 2.
Peace and fabulousness.

Day 289 (1385)
Oh man. An ambienish night followed by a migraine + cough day. A crockpot soup that was bland and nasty. Finally turned on the furnace. No plans completed.
Yay!
Going back to the nursery rhyme/children story themes.
Peace and fabulousness.

Day 288 (1384)
Today was one of those rare days where I had the opportunity to get things done. Ever have those work projects that are sitting there, and every time you walk by your stomach flips and you realize you don't have time to do it? Today I got a chance to tackle those jobs. So grateful! They took an hour to several hours. The one still needs more time but there is relief in getting a huge portion of it done.
Even stayed late to accomplish more!
Now I can tackle more art pieces at home and ride on some of the momentum I'm starting to see! Love!
Peace and fabulousness.

Great parent teacher conference day. Though a 11 hour work is bit much sometimes, thus the unique piece today. Sorry?

Day 283 (1379)
Whatever this coughing thing is is becoming extremely annoying. I had to actually cancel some plans today which was a bummer. I don't know what it is but I ended up sleeping almost 11 and a half hours last night. I I now shake my fist at you!
Can't wait for the warm summerlike sunshine tomorrow.
Peace and fabulousness

Day 281 (1377)
Another fun day in the classroom, especially with the first graders. They were so engaged in their painting, exploring, being reckless or meticulous, all while having first grade artist and coffeeshop style conversations.
Now just staying as low key as possible until Madonna comes on so I don't break into a coughing jag. Fingers crossed.
Peace and fabulousness.

Hello to Tuesday for being productively better than you usually are. Good student creativety, except for one girl who pushed her luck too far... There's is only room for one person with attitude in this art room! Lol.... Serious.
Did I mention I'm tired of coughing? Side benefit, sexy lower voice. :-) #no one to share it with :'( lol?
Starting to kick creeping charlie's butt...manually.
Peace and fabulousness.

Overall good Monday, especially class wise.
Besides this annoying cough (I HATE COUGHS) great start of the week.
Today's piece was struggle, but here she is disproportionate and all ugh. Realizing I need to get back to the story characters.
