My Dream

I thought I should share my dream with you guys. Last night I had a dream that I was having an argument with somebody. I don't remember who it was that I was having the argument with all I remember is that it was a woman. I was telling her how upset I was with our society who is a very wasteful society. People don't like to take a little time of their day to recycle their recyclables. I was telling her how very useful products can be made from recycled materials thus creating less waste. I told her about a show I saw on t.v. about a woman who made her home more earth friendly by incorporating a lot of recycled materials and energy efficient appliances. She had a kitchen counter top that was made from recycled glass bottles which was very cool. (I actually did see this on t.v.) I was telling her how we all need to recycle more. I also told her that I hated to see things thrown away in the garbage rather than put in a recycling bin. I told her I was glad that in the area where I live we have a mandatory recycling program.

I gave her an example of how watching my uncle and his family being wasteful just pissed me off. They live in Washington state and they don't have any recycling facilities there. I'm not sure if it's the whole state that doesn't have a recycling program or just certain cities. They lived in Weenatchee Washington before and there's no recycling programs there. I remember one time when I went to visit my family there I asked my aunt "What do I do with the soda can? Where do I put it?' my aunt then said "That pop goes in the trash hun. There's no recycling here." She sounded like she was proud of it. This happened many years ago in 1995. Now they live about 2 to 3 hours away from Weenatchee, they now live in Richland Washington and they don't have any recycling programs there either. I visited them this summer in August. I went to throw out some trash and what do I find, I found soda cans and plastic bottles in there. I just felt like taking them out and putting them in a bag and bringing them back with me to California. It just feels bad when I don't recycle. It gives me pain to see that. I also saw garden trash and house trash all in the same garbage can. It just sucks.

Here in the area where I live we have three garbage cans, a grey one for household garbage, blue for recyclables and green for yard waste. The garbage has it's purpose which means less waste and I'm happy about that. I'm not a tree huger or anything like that. I won't go chain myself to a tree like those Berkeley students did but I will do my part and recycle. When I walk I pick up any plastic bottles or soda cans I see. Less trash around my town.

I'm just surprised that I'm even having dreams about recycling. It's just so strange. It might be because I was remembering about my uncle's family throwing everything into one garbage =( Sometimes I just have some interesting dreams....

Update

Sorry I've been a bit neglectful of my blog lately I've just been trying to take it easy. A few changes that have been happening in my life are that I've put myself through restrictive forced diet. Ok don't think I'm trying to hurt myself or anything like that. I'm just trying not to eat foods that hurt my stomach. Every single time I eat I have abdominal pain, not extreme but it's a nuisance. I've gone to the doctor and I'm taking some pills. The doctor said it might be gas, which I thought so too and tried over the counter meds but they didn't work so now I have a prescription, I think it's Nexium. They're helping a little, very little though. The other thing the doctor said it might be is the gallbladder so I might have kidney stones which really sucks. The doctor just wanted to make sure it wasn't just gas. I had blood draw but the doctor hasn't called so maybe it isn't so bad. I don't know though I just don't think it's gas. My follow up appointment is for Jan 12 but if I feel worse I have to go in.

Foods I have to avoid are spicy things, which I LOVE. Meat because this is a type of food that causes me big problems and abdominal pain. Greasy food. Anything that makes my stomach hurt I try to avoid which is practically all food even cereal with milk. I can eat rice with NO butter. It got boring fast and I've just eaten food that hurts me, not all the time though. So right now I'm kind of a forced vegetarian which is HARD to do since I love meat so much. I've actually thought of becoming vegetarian before but I've just thought it's too hard. I've tried tofu and I hate it. I cannot eat a lot, how I normally would eat because my stomach starts to hurt. I've resorted to eating from my 2 year old's baby bowls so it doesn't look like I'm eating a little bit. I've measured how much food fits there and one cup fills the bowl. I eat slowly and drink a glass of water with my meals. I eat small meals throughout the day. It really sucks. I'm doing ok for now.

Now I'm going to leave you with my favorite song from this band I really love right now. They are called Nightwish and the song is called "Wish I Had an Angel". I'm really obsessed with this song that I titled my myspace page I Wish I Had and Angel lol.

I'm Back

I'm finally back. It felt like an eternity away from my computer. I had a computer repairman come fix my computer. I told him what was wrong and he told me it could be one of two things either it was the power supply or I needed to get a new computer because it would be cheaper than repairing it. I prayed to God that it was just the power supply because I can't afford a new computer. On Friday I received a call from the man and he told me it was the power supply. Thank goodness and God for hearing me. You don't know how happy I am. I can't be without my computer but I can live without Internet(I've done it for a couple of months). I'm so happy. The good thing is that a month ago I bought an external hard drive and backed up all my files. Now I'm going to make it a habit of backing up my files at least once a week because backing files everyday would be tedious. I'm just glad to be back reading my favorite blogs and sharing with everyone.

Computer Problems

Today I got home from house sitting my inlaws's house. I was relieved to get home because I just couldn't wait to come home. I got here at 7pm. Well I felt like getting on the computer and guess what. It doesn't turn on at all. I opened up the tower to see if dust was blocking anything but it wasn't. I still need to buy a can of compressed air because it's really dusty in there. It's probably been a month since I haven't cleaned the tower from the inside so it's been building up. Anyway I checked that nothing was lose inside and still nothing. I used a different outlet and nothing. I noticed that the tower is getting electricity from the surge protector because when I disconnected the surge protector from the outlet the light was still on so I disconnected the computer from there and the light from the surge protector turned off. So I figure there might some burnt fuse or something. I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm kinda pissed and sad. The good thing is that I have an external hard drive that I saved everything to.

Gift for Jesse from The Art of Jesse

Finally I am able to show you what I made for Jesse http://theartofjesse.blogspot.com/ I made him a plaque. I will show you some pictures of the process.





I drew the design and then I started working with the wood burning pen.





Added some leaves to the vines.


I then added some words. It's the name of Jesse's blog.



I added color with some watercolor pencils. I wanted the plaque to pop. Then I stained the whole plaque except for the back of course. It's a light color because I didn't want the colors to be muted by a dark wood stain. Wood stain stinks so bad. I didn't have a face mask =( so I sniffed some fumes. It really sucked. I even worked on this outside but the fumes were really strong. After a couple of hours of drying time I brought the plaque inside and then I put it near a window so the smell could go out the window. The next day I sealed it with Krylon Kamar Varnish. I added multiple coats until the plaque was to my liking. Varnish has to be used in a well ventilated area because it's smelly as hell. I always apply varnish outside because it stinks so much. Oh one more thing that I forgot to mention was that I nailed on a sawtooth hanger on the back so Jesse can hang it on the wall. I want him to be able to hang it where ever he likes.




I made this card for Jesse and I wrote him a little note. I wanted to let him know why I chose to make a heart for him. If you know his art you know that he makes a lot of broken hearts. I wanted to give him a heart that wasn't broken so it could heal his heart if it needs healing.


Trying out new things

I just thought I'd share my experience with you. Yesterday I tried out the google tool where you can translate a page. Naturally I chose my own blog to translate. I translated it from English to Spanish. I give this tool an F because if someone tried it actually believing it's going to work there in for a big surprise. Well they may not know it. I don't recommend any of those sites that translate phrases unless you understand the language you are translating from and to because if you are using it for school or work there is a great possibility that it will be WRONG! I've tried it so many times if I didn't know both Spanish and English I would have gotten so many things wrong for school. The translation tools translate phrases literally, the thing is that in Spanish or in any other language it may not mean the same thing.

So when I translated my blog extra words were added that weren't even there and none of my sentences made sense. An occasional two words put together made sense maybe a little more. I don't really remember because I did this yesterday. I was curious to see how it would look and now I know.

Old MacDonald...



Last night my 2 year old daughter had her daddy and I reading her the Old MacDonald Had a Farm book over and over again;well we actually sang it intead of read it but she wanted to look at every single page in the book as we sang. She would say "otra ves(again)" as good as she could. We sang it about 10 times and after a couple of times of following the book we could sing it from memory. She would not go to sleep and there was no end in sight. I on the other hand became very sleepy and started yawning during the singing. I told her daddy that the book was working on me but not on our daughter who it was suppossed to work on. After a while of singing I told my husband "We must destroy the book." Lol. I was so tired last night that I couldn't wait until my daughter finally fell asleep. So that was my fun night.

Laying in Bed




Hi everyone it turns out that I didn't have time to take any pictures of the turkey.
Instead I have chosen to post a picture of myself laying in bed. Lol it may be a little pg13 since you can see some curves but that's only because I took the picture myself. Don't stare at it too much because I don't have any make up on. I know some people will probably ask "if you don't want us to look at it then why put it up?" I'll tell you why, because I want to let go a bit and not be worried about people seeing me without makeup.

I went to Michael's today because I thought there wouldn't be many people there. I was so wrong. The store was so packed and it never is. I hate when there is so many people around because I just don't like to bump into people, like I did today. I went to get a few supplies because I'm doing a little something for http://theartofjesse.blogspot.com/ of course I'm going to show everyone who reads this blog what I make him so be on the look out for that.

Making Pumpkin Pie 101

I love pumpkin pie!

First you have to make your dough or you can buy it. I make it myself. Then you roll it out and lay it in your pie pan. Then you make whatever decorative edge you want.

You mix your dry ingredients together in a small bowl. In a larger bowl you beat the eggs. Then you add and stir in your pumpkin and dry ingredient. Then you add your evaporated milk.

After you're done mixing everything then you pour it into your uncooked pie shell.
You put your pie in the oven put the timer on and wait for your pie to be done. You have to test it off the center and if the knife is clean then it's cooked. You have to let it rest and firm up for at least 2 hours before you eat it. This is what it looked like.


If I can I'll show you a picture of the turkey I cooked. I have to spend some time at my inlaws so I don't know if I'll have time to show you. I always split time on the holidays. Meaning I spend half the time at my parents and the other half at my inlaws the same day. Sometimes it is tiring but we have to be fair and spend equal amount of time at both places you know.

Welcome



I just thought I would show you a new sign of mine.


This is a welcome sign that can be put outside of your home or where ever you would like. I painted the wood with a sponge to get a nice effect. The word is wood burned and so are the two hearts and the flowers. I painted the flowers and the hearts.


I like how the ribbon that I chose contrasts a lot yet it seems like it fits well with the sign.


The sign is small so it doesn't take much space. It is approximately 3 inches by 5 inches.


Lately I've been thinking about doing custom signs. For example if someone wants their name on a sign or someone else's name it can be done. Or some saying, things like that you know. You could also chose the colors or any little designs that you would like. I wonder if that would be a good idea. Should I do it?


Have and excellent day everyone ^_^

Jeweled Butterfly


Here's another thing I've been working on. I love how this turned out because it's so sparkly. It's beautiful. I painted the wood buttefly dark purple first, front and back. Then I painted the wood dowel lilac and finally the top a bright pink. I hand glued each jewel, man it's time consuming, with a hot glue gun. The bigger clear acrylic jewels are 6mm in size and the small colored jewels are 4.5mm in size. I really enjoyed working on this so much. Do you see where I added the eyes? I think it gives it a bit of character don't you.

There are about 122 4.5mm jewels on this butterfly give and take a ny I might have missed or counted over. There are about 151 6.5mm jewels. Give or take any miscounting I might have made.

There are two holes in the back so you can hang this on the wall.


I showed you a different view of the butterfly so you can see it in a different way and of course so you can see the dowel I talking about.

Have and excellent day everyone ^_^

Love


This is one of the signs that I have been working on. I finished this some days ago. I did this with the notion that everyone can use a little love in their lives. You don't necessarily have to be in love to need love in your life. Do you know what I mean? The ribbon is adjustable; it can be untied to be made smaller or bigger. I wood burned the word love and also the heart and arrow. If the jewels ever fall off you still have the heart there. I love this because it's just a reminder to keep love in your life and look for love all around.

Butterfly Dream Box



As I promised here is the preview of the box. The pictures are a bit blurry and so is the video of the box. Forgive me for that. The camera is a bit old. I hope that in the near future I am able to get a new one.

I wanted to make it feminine and I think I accomplished that. I wood burned three butterflies on the sides and also burned three words on the sides of the lid which say Wish, Believe and Dream. I just need to add the finishing touch inside the little compartment at the top. I think I might put a special message inside but I'm trying to decide on that.

Working Hard

I've been working hard on a few projects that I have. If it seems like I'm not posting anything it's because I want to create some things so that I can show everyone. I have a few things done already that I love so much. I created a butterfly dream box which I will show you tomorrow so visit me tomorrow. Can you tell I love butterflies?

Have an excellent night everyone ^_^

My Daughter Turned 2 Yesterday!

My daughter turned 2 yesterday. We had a small dinner for her, just her grandparents and two of her aunts and of course me and her daddy. We had a blast and she loves her presents. We gave her a Dora doll and she loves that. She also got a stuffed Winnie the Pooh that came with a blanket. She used the blanket last night and slept with the Dora doll. Experiencing these moments is the best thing in the world. I love it.

Remembering My Friend

I Feel Lost

I feel lost without a feeling,
Crying I don’t know why,
It is just the way I feel when I die,
My favorite Feeling, I have inside,
Going insane, having no one to blame,
Without, a feeling of concern inside knowing I should
burn,
Even though I’m dead, I don’t know why I still feel
alive.


~Claudia Magaña

I was thinking about my friend Claudia. She wrote this poem years ago, I think she may have written it when she was in 8th grade. You can see the sadness and pain of her words. This poem gets me emotional sometimes because I know how her life was then, how she was treated by her own parents and sisters. She was treated like crap just because she was overweight. I knew the sadness of her life. She was angry with her father before she died because he was in jail or prison. whichever it was, for making a poor choice. She wanted to have a quinceñera but since her father made a mistake she wasn't going to be able to have one. She told me she hated him for that.

She was buried in her dress. I saw her there, pale and stiff. She was very much dead. She didn't look like she was sleeping at all. She finally got her wish to wear her quinceñera dress. I couldn't take it, I leaned in and hugged her. I didn't want to let go. I don't know who it was that grabbed me and took me to sit down but they did. My best friend was dead, I didn't want to believe it, I wanted her to get up. She was too young to die, only 15 years old. Her older sister was driving the car that night. They were driving on the back roads on their way home from the fair. Supposedly her sister saw a rabbit in the road and swerved instead of running it over. The car did a complete 180 into a telephone poll. My friend was in the rear passenger side that took all the impact. They couldn't save her at the hospital.

Barack is our new President

I'm overwhelmed, I don't know what to do. Should I yell? Jump up and down? What? Wow I can't believe it. I was so nervous because I knew this was going to be close. I'm so happy. I'm still going to keep watching the news I still have to see the local measures here in California.

I have so much butterflies in my stomach right now. I AM HAPPY ^_^.

I Voted

That's right, I voted. I always do. I have never understood those people who don't go vote. That was the best part of turning 18;being able to vote.

You know what always upsets me is when people complain about policies or presidents. I think to myself "you shouldn't care since you didn't vote". I'm not saying people aren't entitled to their opinion but if you don't vote you can't really complain. Imagine how many people are out there not voting. Well maybe if they had voted things would be different.

I like voting. Even if what I vote for doesn't pass at least I tried to do something by voting.
I hope people who are able to vote, go vote.

It Rained Yesterday

Have I told you that I love the rain and when the sky is grey or when the wind blows and you get a cool breeze? This is my type of weather. Just like some people may be looking foward to summer and get sad when cold weather arrives; I like the cold. It makes me happy. I thrive in cold weather. It's the time that I get to snuggle with my warm blankets on that couch. I love doing that. This is the perfect time to cuddle with that special someone. This is the only time of year I do it. If my husband tries to cuddle with me when it's hot, especially in summer I say "Get away from me, your body is too hot." Do you think it's weird that I only do it a specific time of year?



Anyway back to what I am going to tell you. It rained yesterday afternoon and into the night. I just love the rain. It's my friend. I went out earlier that day because it looked like it was going to rain. It was all cloudy and smoky too. I think the farmers were doing a controlled burn, that or there was a fire somewhere. I just like how it looked yesterday, it was such a lovely day.

Bear With Me Everyone

Okay I know I have been neglecting my blog a bit. I have a good reason for that. I'm doing a little reflection time. I'm taking all the time I need to reflect a bit about everything really.

I'm reading a book right now and it has become very theraputic for me. It's not a self help book or anything like that. Well, it might be a little bit like it because it's inspiring me. It's an art book. The way it's created is more for beginners. Right now I consider myself a beginer because I stopped painting and drawing for about two years. Now i'm getting back into the grove of things but I feel I need to go review a few things about what I learned in the past.

I promise I'll try to do at least one post a week. If I'm a little late please don't abandon all hope and think I'm not coming back to blog land. I love blogging so I will keep coming back. I'll leave you with this picture. I took it on my way back from Washington State in August. This picture is in Oregon.

FUN FUN FUN

That's one big turkey.
Aghhh! We're going to get eaten by a giant pumpkin!
A lot of people go and paint the lovely scene of pumpkins at the farm.
There are signs posted with trivia in the corn maze so you don't get bored.
Closeup of some pumpkins.

http://www.bishopspumpkinfarm.com I had so much fun yesterday. We went on a family trip to a local pumpkin farm as a family. It was wonderful. A lot of walking and a lot to see. My daughter enjoyed herself a lot, I don't think quite as much as her parents, but she still enjoyed being out. We bought many good things such as freshly made pumpkin pie from their bakery, pumpkin butter(this is so yummy), freshly made apple cider; let me tell you IT'S FRESH, you can taste it, and last but not least two pumpkins. My husband picked out a big pumpkin and my daughter picked out a baby pumpkin just like herself.
It's good to utelize the local activities you have in your area. You don't have to go so far to have fun. In my case it was about 35-40 mins away from where I live. It's not that long a drive. We actually have 2 pumpkin farms close to our area that are approximately the same distance apart. The only difference is one is south of here(the one we went to) and the other is north of here. I've never been to that one before. The one they took us on a field trip when I was younger was the one we visited yesterday. So many things have changed from when I went as a child. The only thing I remebered about it was a slide.
The thing I liked the most was watching the pig race. The only thing I dissliked about it was that it was too short for me. It was fun watching the pigs race and jump over the obstacles. The best part my pig won the race. His name was Green Eggs n' Ham and he won he he. Lots of family fun.

ACEO Set Preview



I finished the first ACEO in the set. It's called Aztec Goddess Xochiquetzal it's 1/12. It's done on watercolor paper I can't tell you what kind at the moment because I can't find my pad. I used lightfast black india ink to ink the lines. Then I used watercolor pencils to finish the painting. The watermark is not in the original. It will be signed on the back. I found something out, it's very hard to paint when you don't have the right size paint brush. I need a smaller one to make my job a lot easier.

I hate scanners, they can never capture how the painting really looks. The colors aren't as vibrant. Her skin is actually a little darker than in this picture. It still looks quite nice. I think I may become addicted to making and collecting ACEOs. Each ACEO in this set will be a little different. I am going to play with the colors and also with the mediums I use. I'm planing on using prisma colored pencils, watercolor pencils, ink, and acrylics. Maybe I'll add some embellishments as well, who knows. All I want to do is have fun.

Lunch: Huevos con Tortillas y Salsa Valentina



This is what I had for lunch today two eggs with tortillas and some hot sauce. Simple meal that tastes so good when you add extras like the hot sauce. I like Valentina hot sauce because their hot sauce isn't as spicy as the Tapatio hot sauce. They do have another one that's spicier but the original is just right for me. If I do eat Tapatio hot sauce I will only use a drop or two on my food and test it, if it's not spicy enough then I'll add more. It's just too spicy for me.

I must admit that when it comes to spicy things I am a big chicken. Even though supposedly because I am Mexican I'm supposed to like Spicy things. That's just one stereotype that does not apply. I don't like to eat fresh chiles. Lots of people like doing that but I don't really do that unless they're sliced and I'm going to be eating them on nachos or on a sandwich where there will be lots of other flavors to balance out the spiciness a little bit.

Art Magnets-3 in a set



I made these marble magnets. The images are things I drew myself. I am intending on selling them and they will come in a tin box. I'll think I'll sell these on etsy. I'm going to have 10 sets. I tried to get good pictures but it wasn't all that easy. Have a nice day.

Hair



I found a picture of myself when I was in high school where I still had my natural hair color. You can see that it's a dark brown color. I've been dying my hair since high school. That's a couple of years that I haven't seen my natural color.

I've been thinking for a while now that I should let my natural color grow out. I have to dye my hair one more time because I bought hair dye and I don't have the receipt to return it. I' m not going to let it go to waste. So after this one time I will not dye it anymore. For some reason I've just been wanting to go back to being natural. I think I've grown tired of dying my hair. Plus all those nasty chemicals. I think I'm better off not dying my hair. I am now embracing my natural hair color and in a way I think I am now embracing my true self. I am accepting myself as I am. I don't need to dye my hair to make a statement. I'm also thinking about growing my hair out. I used to always have my hair long up to my waist. I have it short, up to my shoulders. For me that's short. I don't know why I want to go back. Something is calling to me and telling me go back. It's pulling at me. Some inner desire, or the me trapped inside. Maybe it's my indigenous side that's finally found a way out.

Something has also been calling me saying "create, draw, paint" it's telling me to read more about my culture it's telling me to look into the indigenous arts. No matter how Americanized I am there is something inside me that keeps me grounded and keeps me connected with my people. I'm not ashamed or embarrassed to be Mexican but I think I've forgotten about myself and that other part of me. I was born here in the US that's why I'm so Americanized. Even my language is something that I've been forgetting. All I would watch on t.v. is English channels, for 2 or 3 years. Recently in the last few months I've started to watch Spanish channels and it's been helping me in some way. I'm content inside. I don't know why. It's weird you know.

It seems that some part of me is not satisfied and I need to do something to fulfill that need.

Looking Back

Looking back on my old high school photos brings such good memories. It wasn't that long ago that I was in high school but I still get nostalgic. I wonder why that is. What I have always truly loved about this photo is my hair color. It's just so vibrant and wild. I also like the way I'm staring at the ground. It looks like I'm thinking about something serious. All I could do to stop from laughing was stare at a corner. My friend and I were having too much fun laughing so I had to stare at something.

I've always been a person who was different from everyone else in the sense that I wasn't afraid to like things that I liked. I wasn't afraid to be open with things that I liked. I also most def didn't take crap from no one. No one messed with me because they knew I would defend myself. I was the quiet girl, who always did my homework and followed the rules but there was one place where I could let go and that was in the art room. I took art for 3 years in high school. I learned a lot about myself in that class. In the end art is what kept me going through high school. School wasn't tough or anything like that, it's just that at times I just didn't want to go. I wish I could have learned a lot more about art but seeing as I live in a small town and there isn't enough funding as is for the school, of course art is one of the departments they cut from first. We had limited materials, so we were limited in what we could learn. I loved my art teacher, he was great. He made due with what we had. You know a lot of people took art because they thought it was a free ride but boy were they wrong. You had to always be working in that class.

I find myself needing art again. It's like I'm discovering it for the first time again. I guess I'm one of those people that just can't be without it. *sigh*I just love art.

Esty Shop Update

Hey everyone I have five pieces that I will have ready and up for sale in a couple of days, they're all crafts except for one painting done on wood that I love very much because it's about a character based on me. It's just so special to me because she's a little part of me. I'll give you a sneak peak at the painting tomorrow.

My Sister's Blog

My sister just recently started a blog. If you like poetry you should go for a visit. They a little on the depressing side but they're interesting. http://emptysoulz.blogspot.com/

Comparison

Interesting fact, this is the picture that I used for my self portrait. That's the only time I wore those earrings; just for this picture. I thought I looked too "cholita" lol that just wasn't and isn't my style.



Decorative Crafts





Here's some things that I'm considering putting up for sale in etsy. If I do decide to do it, I'll let you know.


Weekly Updates

I am going to try to update this blog weekly. Maybe that will get me in the mood to create more. I will put pictures of what I do. I want to stick with this commitment.
