Looking Out On The Morning Rain...

I used to feel so uninspired.

Spent my Monday painting as planned...but my mood took a funky turn in the afternoon and it totally ruined my painting mojo.
I realized today that I am easily affected by others.
Specifically, others moods.
My mood can change from 11 years old and just met JTT excited to, well, BAD in a matter of seconds when I'm around someone who's in a funk.
Stop bringin' me down, gahhhh.

Anyway, my funky mood made me lose all the inspiration I had floating around in my brain.
BUMMER.
(I did doodle (what do you called doodling when you do it with a paint brush?) a cartoon of myself while i sat there waiting for creativity to strike... she came out sort of cute!)I also took a few pictures of my gorgeous niece Doll Face modeling one of my dresses.
She rocked it. She actually just took professional pictures in this dress, and I can't lie...
that makes my heart swoon. :)
I've been creating things for about a year and a half now & it just never gets old to see someone using or displaying something I've made. I once saw a little girl wearing a bib I'd made(it was given to her as a gift... I didn't know her) and I literally jumped up and down, grabbed my friend's arm and was like, "Holy crap! I MADE THAT!" Haha, love love love.

In other news, there's a freaking tropical storm making it's way through the Gulf of Mexico right now. I'd like to take a moment to write an open letter to Ida.
I've got your back FL, I've got your back.

((Have any of you heard the Lily Allen song "F you very much"? Oh my goodness, vulgar... in the cutest way possible. How is that even possible? I admit it lifted my funk a bit earlier, just giggling at it & dancing around :) ))

  8. I love crafty stuff too, and wish I had your dedication to it!

    That song is so adorable... But did you know she wrote it for George Bush when he left office? Or at least that's what I heard... The people in Europe didn't like him very much.

  11. I too am easily affected by others' moods, which is why I try to surround myself with generally happy, positive people who will keep me optimistic.
