Robot Journals

Summer time is a fantastic time to get The Kiddos into Journaling.
These Robot Journals are a fun way to do that.

Add a box of CoLoRed Pencils to really kick  it up.
Especially for the Young Wones, 
who may find it easier to draw Their daily entry.

Keeping the entries short for the Older Wones.
helps hold their interest.
Besides, 
they just loOk CooL.

Rock Em, Sock Em Robots

 Summer heat getting to ya already?
Womb Weebles warbling on your nerves?
Have a dispute that needs settling?

Then here's Your Answer.
The classic RocK Em SocK Em Robot toy.

Set the Kiddos {or Adults....just sayin} up,
and Let them have at it.

It's the ultimate energy using Toy!
PLus! it's just hella Fun~

With your fave Ear Pods firmly embedded in your brain,
waltz your way {or shake your boOTy} into
a Peaceful existence;
be One with the Inner Hostess Mostess.


Much better than smacking them with the Lemon Twister.

My "VinTaGe" Art....or work i've done in the past


I love Tarot Card art.
Many of the decks I own,
I bought just for the Art Work.

Here's my attempt to use The Cards
to continue work on the Human Form.
Since I've been looking back at my art,
I've noticed this same blue/green thing going on,
which is odd, 
because I don't really like that look.
Today, I'm working on breaking out of that. 
This is about the time I started using Metallics in my work.
I still Love working with Metallics.

I could see redoing this on a bigger, tighter composition.
 Rougher, more realistic, less cookie cutter.
cause Practice makes Perfect.

Wah wah waah.....

ok, my computer is being a DRAG!!!!
and not like a Queen!

It's taking me an exorbitant amount time to get one post done.
And I have many~
so I suppose this weekend I'll have to get this thingy 
changed out with that thing a ma bob,
and put this in where that came out....

and then, hopefully,
I can load pictures faster than 3 a decade!
Bear with Me,
I miss you too.

My FaVoRiTe tOOLs ~ Shape Stencils

These handy dandy Stencils!

 I mean it too.
It is absolutely HELL to try and work a project 
and not have the RIGHT SIZE of Whatever.

For I, it is usually the coordinating size of the Embeddment
to the Bezel I'm using.
You'd think it would be simple.
Oh so simple, not.
No matter what I did I could not get the correct sizing.
Tracing, gueSSing, making mocks;

My Resi~tation is always thrown off it's grOove Tracks
because of this persistant annoyance...

Not anymore.

I stolt borrowed these two Stencils from The Mother's Office.

Oh the simple joys.

No more crOoked lines and woBbLy edGes.
I can have LoVeLy CirCLes instead of eggs.
I can have Solid Squares instead of that, geometry thing..

I can get a cleaner, more precise line for 
PaPer and CLay cut outs.
 I could collect Circle Punches, but in the interest of price and space,
these Stencils are perfect for Me.

Space Invaders


It's that time again~
time to get Spaced!






Kids are out for Summer
Lightening bugs are here
It's the perfect time to
become one with the Universe!

Here, we are already in the 90*s with basically
a gazillion percent humidity.
Even though my kids play outside ALOT,

I still have them inside
at the hottest part of the Day.
More to keep them from coming
in and out, in and out, in and out,
while taking with them,
the piss bit of warm fluff called the a/c....
I digress.

Beam Me Up, Scotty....

These are the perfect times
to watch Movies,
Crafts,
and if you can get it in early enough, baking. 
Thanks to all the available services out there,
paid and unpaid, it's alllll gOod.

THE LIBRARY!
is THE most excellent place for SuMMeR.  
Not only do they have a host of things happening, 
they have movies, and books, and stuff.  
Robots and Space Invaders and Stars 
are no Strangers to the Library. 

*Star Trek!ORIGINAL!{Please, start them out properly!}
*Star Wars
*The Iron Giant
*Lost in Space
*Cocoon
*Close Encounters of the Third Kind
*ET




and of course, 
how could we not mention Pigs in Space????
Better yet,
Star Wars guest stars
on Pigs in Space
.........bOoYah!




I HIGHLY recommend
Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator
as a June read. 
Yes, it is a Space journey. 
Wonderful.



Crafts~
Paper Mache' or Felt anything:
Stars, Robots, Space ships. 
Turn it into a pinata for parties.



If you're lucky enough to have an Observatory close 
to your abode, take advantage. 
It's so CooL.

Even though it's only been 
192 hours and 15 mins and 8 secs 
since "vacation" began, don't fret.
There's plenty to do.
A whole Universe worth.
