I was still in a somewhat foul mood yesterday so I didn't do much crafty stuff. Well, I guess that I did work on the The Baby Game picture and my crafting journal (more on that in a second), but that's it. I swear! I spent most of the day grumbling about this and that. "This person is really pissing me off!" "That person has stupid shoes!" Yeah, I'm a regular June Cleaver!
When I woke up this morning it was to the sound of a voice that I'm very familiar with- and one that annoys the f*ck out of me. The Mouth. I haven't talked about The Mouth because this person doesn't deserve space in my lovely blog, but since I was so rudely awaken by the sound of her voice today, I figure that I'm aloud to complain for a minute. This person is so negative that just being within a square mile of her can make you grouchy. I have tried time and time again to understand The Mouth, to sympathize with The Mouth and, when all else fails, to ignore The Mouth. None of these things work. No matter what, The Mouth is bound and determined to be disgruntled and angry at the world. Everything about The Mouth is disgruntled. The way she carries herself, the tone of her voice, the look on her face. EVERYTHING. You could give her a million dollars, tax free!, and she would still find something to be angry about. Enough of that rant though...
On to fun stuff... Last week I decided that I have too many craft projects and ideas swirling in my head (and my house) to keep track of them all. I'm forgetting some of the stuff that I had planned on doing and failing to finish projects before I move onto new stuff. I decided that one way to organize all of this is to put my ideas in a journal. Yes, I know that this is a journal, but I wanted one that I could carry with me. When I see something that inspires me I want to be able to write it down, sketch it out, glue in samples of fabrics or pictures. You see? When I mentioned this to Bruno he was very supportive and excited (and a bit jealous). He's tired of art school and assignments and envious of my freedom to create whatever the heck I want to create. So yesterday, he surprised me with a hardbound sketchbook to keep my ideas in. Isn't he a wonderful husband! He does stuff like this and my heart just melts! So anyways, last night we went to Kinko's to print out some pictures of my projects. There were 23 in all and by the time that we got home I was too tired to work on the book. But when I'm done with my work today, watch out world because I'll be a crafting!
All right, Arter, get out of my head! I also cannot keep track of everything I want to do. To be honest, your blog is making me itch to do something creative and crafty and... and... and... I suck at the actual application part of things. Oooh, blog entry coming up.
Love the crafty image.
