Abstract Ideas

I'm still sickish. But I guess I have to go to school tomorrow. I can't breathe through my nose though. :( On a more positive note, I did a large abstract painting today. The dimensions are 24 inches by 30 inches to be specific. I'm fairly happy with it. It's for the basement, which I hope will eventually be filled up with art. Anyway, I need to practice my flute now having put it off all weekend.

The New Friendship of Bonsai and Fern

Well, for those of you who may have noticed I wasn't at school today I have an awful sore throat and cough and congested nose. I also jabbed my upper gums/lip with a cereal straw yesterday, that sounds so strange I know, and now that wound is waaaaaay sore. I also seem to have an extremely bruised tailbone that has been hurting for the past two weeks. (the result of falling down the stairs for the umpteenth time) Eventually I'm just going to trip and break into a million pieces. Anyway, now that my poor health has been covered, I am otherwise quite well! Or at least my week was. We've had play practice each day afterschool and it hasn't been too boring. I've quite enjoyed the experience this year and I'm really looking forward to the final performance. Also last weekend I did some painting which was nice. I hope to accomplish some more this weekend also. Happy Friday! ^_^ One more thing, I cannot wait for the frigid weather of winter to be replaced with springtime! Spring is my absolute favorite season.

Bonsai and Tom the Fern have become friends! :) The fern was emma's and my fern baby from science.


I don't think this painting(from last weekend) is quite done yet. It needs more depth... maybe some sheep.


Here's another painting from the weekend. It's okay I suppose.


This is the third painting I did. It's my favorite.

Huff Puff

Yay, for the National Junior Honor Society! ...I think. I suppose it'll be yay once I'm done with this packet we have to fill out and turn in for it and once I find out if I actually get to be a part of it. Also, I am going to run for NJHS office as vice-president! Whoo. We'll see how that goes. Having thought about it and considered and reconsidered I think it's a job I'd really enjoy doing. Anyway, it's late and I really should go to bed. Just felt like a quick update. G'night.

Nothing Much Here

Wellll, I figure it's high time I cranked out a post... however devoid of importance or interest it may be. ;D So, um, hmmm, let me seeeee... Not much has happened that could be posted about. The musical is going well I suppose, I've enjoyed being a pirate so far. Yesterday I made an ipod case out of duct tape, and I'm fairly happy with how it turned out. I'll post pictures later perhaps, along with some pictures of what I hope to create this weekend, a dress form made of duct tape and a somehow fashiony t-shirt. We'll see how that goes. Of course, I also have some homework and studying for tests, plus my outside reading book project. And now I'm off to gorge on tomato soup as I am super duper hungry.

Pie For Me

Today is January 23rd of 2009. Today is Friday. Today is National Pie Day. Yay for pie!

I'm so happy the weekend has finally come. Though it was only a four day week it seemed to drag along forever. And now I have one pumpkin and one blueberry pie to enjoy, which my mom made today for Pie Day. I may also make a chocolate pudding pie later this weekend. I also have my math children's book to do which is due on Tuesday. Honestly, why did the math teacher assign us a project where we have to convey algebra subjects to little kids? Strange. Anyway, mine is titled "Rob and the Magician" and it has practically no plot to it whatsoever. Coincidentally, Spencer has to write and put together a fully illustrated children's book in one of his classes too. I'm being recruited to draw the illustrations for his book because his teacher said they could ask a friend or family member to create the drawings. Maybe, it'll turn out really awesome and someday children all over the world will be reading an amazing book illustrated and partially written(as my mother and I also had to assist in the development of the story) by me. :D

Yet It Is Ironic

I asked the science teacher today if they were planning on letting us all watch the inauguration and she said she didn't think she'd be able to bear it. Apparently she's not much of an Obama supporter. (more proof from Natalie on that I believe) I mean, did her opposition to Obama perhaps play a part in not watching the inauguration in 5th period science? Anyway, gladly I was in social studies and we got to see a bit of the event. And of course, I watched recaps and stuff on the news when I got home. It's been a pleasant start to the school week (yay, no school on MLK day!) and I would have posted more but it's late. So maybe I'll post more tomorrow. Maybe.

Creative Headway

Well, yesterday I had the sewing machine out and made a few things and hopefully the creative flow shall continue today. Right now I'm off to play practice soon, but I'll update this post with what I created yesterday and some pictures when I get back. :D

...Later...

First off, I made the plaid dog coat on the left yesterday for my aunt and uncle's dog. The black one on the right is one I made for Winston a while ago.

Here we have the lovely Winston wearing his coat out in the recent snow.

Then I sewed this little fleece case for my ipod nano.

And finally, I made this hat with cat ears! :) And without a pattern might I add. ;D

...And that's pretty much all I did yesterday! So... I'm not sure what else to make now. Ha. :) If anyone has a suggestion as to what I should sew or create next please do tell me, I need some more ideas.
