I need furniture

Today I found out that I got two scholarships! Yeah! It should cover fall and some of my winter semester. This is great, if I can get a job I my not have to get a loan.

I need new bedroom furniture; seriously I have had the same ugly ass furniture since the 2nd grade. The 2nd grade. I have a plan bed frame downstairs I can use, my side table that I need to refinish, a chair and stool.


I want to refinish it with a fun graphic paint. The piece is super retro and I think it would look sweet with some sort of design on it.
So I need two new dressers and I found a few at Ikea that I like a lot. I love the yellow one.





With a new dresser I would need to pick up some kind of mirror.


I am in dire need of a bookshelf as well.


I have been looking at design sponge a lot. http://www.designspongeonline.com/

Weaving, Teaching, and Stuff

So I took the weaving class. It was money well spent! Soon I'll post pictures.
The instructor Suzanne Halvorson discussed color and working with chenille and bamboo yarns. I learned some new tricks and how to finish the two fibers. ^_^ yeah! I help the ladies who uncomfortable with color. Joan let me take the loom that I am renting home so I didn't have to drive up their everyday to get a few hours of weaving in. I come home and the loom is right there in the family room saying hey you work on me.
Anyway Suzanne Halvorson is a wonderful person and was a joy to work with. Her scarves are stunning, check them out http://www.bloomington.in.us/~byhand/shalvorson.html If I am ever in Bloomington IN I am stopping by.

My student teaching is almost finished next week is my last week. :( I'll miss the little buggers.
Here is some of their art. The plush is from 5th graders most who have never sewn before *_* they did an awesome job.
The paper sculptures are from 3rd graders.








I joined an art yarn fibers swap ^_^. Lots of fun. I for got to take a picture of what I sent off. I hope it is enough and she likes it.
I am awaiting feedback on an odd art job I found from etsy. I hope it shipped ok and she likes. Hum waiting sucks. Send me feedback people. Feedback. I love it.

Weaving Class

I went to Heritage to find out about a special weaving class and it is $170 plus $20 for the loom rental plus cost of materials. . .
The price is on the cheaper side too.

to spend the money I do not have or do not spend money? damn
The class sounds like fun and interesting.

Visiting Instructor Suzanne Halvorson: Weaving in Ordinary Time: Sacred & Secular Strip Weaving.

Saturday and Sunday, April 5 and 6, 9 am - 4 p.m., two sessions. This class is about style and color. Suzanne will address issues of liturgical weaving, but focuses on strip weaving and interpreting it in today's fibers, including chenille and bamboo. your readers. Most students will not complete their scarf during the class. Materials can be purchased at class.

The instructor is a professor in IN too, not just some random person.

Snow day and Movie greatness

Today I watched Donnie Darko thanks to a snow day and comcast on demand.
Why did i not watch that movie sooner?
I was told that i would like it and i have to see it and that it's the shit! well it is all true. It is the shit and i love it!
Insanely delicious!
It makes me want to see Lost Highway, I tried watching it once but I was too ADD at the time.
I think I have a better appreciation for movies like these now then I would have a few years back.

I needed a day away from teaching the kids have been sucking out my energy and this snow day was a nice recharge.
the negative part of was my ceramics class was cut early last night and I left a mess on one of my pieces with glaze.
The inside glaze dripped all over the outside and it will not wash off. . . hum.
I was having one of those days.
When you wake up and say crap.
My tuesdays are normally tiring and but this week it was extra crazy.
It is all little things that add up too.

I'll feel better when I start my period.
Next week will be craziness too.
I am enamored with the tear drop shape in 3-d http://bonniethepotter.deviantart.com/art/Red-Drops-76148033 i have been wanting to make it and variations of it in my sculpture and especially in my ceramics class.
I am sick of elementary kids.
yup they annoy me.
give me your tired and apathetic pubescent teens.
I will teach them art and use big words.
