it's here again

Ok so I am gonna hafta, write in word cuz I keep losing stuff that I write…..i hate to write in word, it fixes grammar and spelling that I know is “WRONG’ but I know….it is wrong so it is not write…..and I have the rite to write you know……well I have my yearly bronco in the chest shit that I get every year between fib and march……I know when it arrives and I know what I need to do…..but this year they gave me steroids….and I have to say it is going away faster and I feel better…..cuz I was in bed for almost 4 days and did nothing but sleep……which I think I needed it…..or I would not have slept so long…….and I got the chill out…..it snows every morning and never sticks…..i like the country up here…..now I live in hilltop….and I am on the fucking top of the mountain….i feel like heidi, not to be confused with Heidi Klum……heidi who lived on the mountain with her old grandfather…….so I finally have real tv after being without it for almost 2 months……and didn’t have internet access for almost 2 weeks…..you can live without anything……ok, today I swore if I had any energy I would try to straighten out the studio…….but the day is young….

kick back sunday night........

this is my kitty cat shema when she was a kitten .....i resued her for $20 bucks and a t shirt.  she is one crazy cat and smart as a whip......she and bear are playing tag your it.....anyway resting up for moving tomorrow.....just wanted to drop in and say hi....all is good....and what is this noise i here about facebook timeline, that's not like dateline right.....

journals......

ok so if you haven't heard by now, i have been journaling since i was 12.  i have every journal that i have ever written in. the older journals are keep in a green footlocker that has wheels.  the journals from the past 10 years are on in a bookcase in my bedroom.  i have many different types of journals, but the constant thing about them is they all reflect who i am , and what i think.......the photos here are what i would call my journal scrapbook....it is just one of those big plain white page books you can get at any bookstore. this is the book that i put "most" of papers in from where i have been and then i write notes.  i also just go through it at times and place various clippings from magazines.....and when i get to that page i might or might not journal about the page............i have another art journal that i working in right name i was inspired by an art journal and tutorial by an artist named caatje.....http://caatjesartsystuff.blogspot.com i am having fun with it as i can draw, play, doodle and what ever in it.......at any given time i have at least 5 different journals around....i think i have one in every room and my purse.  i have some journals that have taken me 5 years to complete from cover to cover......and it is funny how one changes.... i did morning pages ala julia cameron for 3 years straight and i can't begin to tell you want an eye opening life changing experience that was....for anyone that needs to get a handle on their life i strongly recommend morning pages....if you don't know what they are just ask.

i received as a gift from dover the notebooks of leonardo de vinci, and i swore to myself that i would leave more notebooks to then him....and i may well be on my way.....

the thing is i was getting confused by all the names people call these books, diaries, journals, notebooks, art journals, altered books, smash books....til i just started calling them "the big fucking book of everything.....it just makes it easier for me and i hate to have to be pushed in a box......and a rose by any other name......but i do have to say i like the idea of putting colorant on the books first, but then again i like to see just how the journal will evolve.....and like all my art if i can get it to stay down it stays there......and there are always loss stuff , stuffed in the pages.....all i have left to say if you don't have a journal, you should.......someone once told me they will be the greatest gift that i will leave my children......if you would like to see more of my journal pages check out my flickr site.....just go to the flickr icon on the right and hit coffee with gloria . and look for the set that says journal pages.......i love feedback so please leave some good or bad....cuz it is all good

DYE

i just put a whole load of clothes that i loved, but where not black into a blackdye bath.....some of them are coming out this purplery grey black, while some tops that had graphics on them are looking really good......and they where kool clothes i bought at a thrift store, well most of them.....did i tell you that i like thrifts and have A>D>D.....i thought you would have guessed it by now.....anyway i will show you them when they are done.....

so this is something else i have been working on while waiting to move.....i have got back to simple handwork....it feels good.  these are random bead strings that i made from all lose beads that i found while packing up......and some that i just grabbed out of bead jars......a relative of a relative passed away and i got a whole crate of white bed linens (the good stuff) while i love looking at beautiful white beds, lets just say it would not remain white around me for long......so i dyed them these really hot colors......one of the sheets i am making a simple curtain out of...you to straight stitches across the top.....well anyway i am going to drape them on the curtains over they are hang......remind me to take photo's......when i set up my new home.....i feel like I'm going home for the first time in a long time.....but i still always not regret , but feel bad that i am still not in sayville ny.....but life goes on and i lived there a very long time ago........but i loved it and the city was a train ride away and i could walk to the train......amazing.....how times have changed.....i now live in a place where the buses stop running at 6.....
