I Wish....

My new song obsession...
is off of Eisley's new album "The Valley"
The song is "I Wish".
I have been listening to it non stop for the last 3 days.
Its very melodic and soft at first
then it sucks you in with this catchy beat
I have found myself singing it while doing things that don't require my full attention.
I think the first 3 lines in the first verse is kind of reminds me of how I feel at the moment.

"I walked into this life a lover

And I was carrying

A deep hope for you

I lit up like a fire

I watched you from afar

A blazing burning star

I came alive

A design

The tree of life... Is what you are"

I just love the lyrics, they paint this beautiful picture in my head of a first love.
Eisley has seemed to capture it in a melody.
Experiencing it for the first time with untainted eyes
completely awkward and unsure of how to act on your feelings...

Here are the rest of the lyrics:
(PS There are no official lyrics so I had to type this up myself, so it may not be completely accurate)

Ooooooh Ahoooo I wish you felt this waaay

You say Oh baby start again

Oooooh Ahoooo I wish you felt this way

You say,you take the pain away

You say, you take away the pain

So tell me it,

Do you feel this,

Cause your not sure what’s required

And do you hear this

Your not expected to be forthright

Your so profound

But your not found

And If I could Id just claim you

Ooooooh Ahoooo I wish you felt this waaay

You say Oh baby start again

Oooooh Ahoooo I wish you felt this waaaay

You say, you take the pain away

You say , you take away the pain

Ooooooohhhh oooo

I came alive

Oooooooooohhhh oooo

A new design

Ooooooh Ahoooo I wish

Ooooooh Ahoooo I wish

Ooooooh Ahoooo I wish

Ooooooh Ahoooo I wish

Ooooooh Ahoooo I wish you felt this waaay

You say Oh baby start again

Oooooh Ahoooo I wish you felt this waaaay

You say Oh baby start again

You say, you take the pain away

You say , you take away the pain

Anyway, I think I have gone on about this enough... So next topic.
I have been inspired latey to paint on canvas,
something I normally don't do because I suck when it comes to painting.
That being said, the only way to improve is to practice.
So I have rolled up my sleeves and picked up my paints and canvas
and I am attempting it.

Thus far my attempts look like that of a high school freshman... Kind of sad, but I still like them.
I might post some pics...
I might not... Lets see how I feel at the end of this post.
In my head I want to pick up a brush and bust out a piece like Audrey Kawaskai,
but I know that is improbable.
I'm just going to keep at it.
Hopefully I will see some improvement in the next few months...
Ok, ok here are pics of the paintings..

Sleeping Blue

Sisters
Forest of Shadows

*Side Note* I still haven't gotten my hair cut and I am starting to really need it....

*Side Side Note* While writing up this post, I have listened to "I wish" about 30 times.

Cityscape forever gray.... Stuck in time, stuck inside my mind...

Tonight Glee comes on!!

Which fills me with Gleeeeeee!!

and after that... My new fave show!

Raising Hope

If you haven't seen it, you should watch the episodes you missed on Fox.com

or

just tune in tonight.

So I have to tell you a small and uneventful story that made my week.

(It takes very little to make me happy)

So like a month ago I was surfing the web and I came across a quilting blog.

http://www.delightfuldisarray.blogspot.com/

and there was a piece that I fell in love with

and in my head I'm all like yeah I want to do that!!

Let me see if I can include a pic:

So anyway the fabric she used was this carnival themed one and I wanted it.

(As you know I now have a sewing machine)

I scoured the Internet looking for it to no avail.

Saddened and dismayed I gave up.

So I was on the blog last night and looking in the sidebar

I found a link for a website called Fabricworm.com

I was cruising around checking out all the cool and funky fabric

Still thinking about that Carnival themed fabric... sad.

I kept looking at all the fabric and that's when a choir of angels

descended from heaven and began to sing.

There it was my dream fabric.

So life complete

*Side note* I am in love with Katie Costello...I lesss then 3 her....

You won't take away my pride... No, not this time

Art is something that is constantly changing, and vastly different from person to person.
For the past two years, I have found that my work has morphed and changed into something that I truly love.
I have created these stick figure people that make me so happy whenever I create a new one, not unlike children.

They have become so much a part of me, it amazes me how much they mean to me.

My life like most seems to always be in a state of transition, and I love that, but from these transitions come a change in my Art. Sometimes the change is small and barely noticed and other times it's huge and so out of the realm of what I would draw regularly.
That's what I adore about my work, It's a timeline for things that I have experienced and ways that I have felt. I can look at one of my pieces and revisit the place I was in my head.
I guess that is what I want to convey to you today. I want you to go the the same place I was when I was creating, feel what I felt & Think like I thought. Is that realistic? Maybe not but it's what I want.

Fancy meeting such a tortured soul like yours....

I lost my phone last night.

I was really upset.

Later that night I found my phone lying in the snow in front of my house.

Grrr....

I have been painting since I got home last night.

So far I have about 4 done and I am still working on some more.

Here are some pics:

Does this one remind you a certian blog post...

*Side note* The post name is a line from a song by The Hoodies called Surface. Great song.

Up up and Away?

So there has been a lot of talk in the household of moving to Virginia.
This is something I am opposed to, Honestly, there is nothing for me there..

I mean my EMT licence is for NY and you can't get that transferred.
It's not like I'm trying to be difficult It's just that its so far from everything I love.
Virginia is not a city like NY, I wouldn't mind moving to Chicago, Florida or even Cali.

But how do you move a girl that grew up in Brooklyn, NY to Virginia.....?

They are not even comparable!

Anyway... Lately I have been getting back into drawing, I had kind of stopped because I have been super into crocheting. Here are some pictures of Crochet project i have been working on!!

The Raspberry Beret!

Granny Squares..

The Brighton Cowel

I haven't been taking a lot of pictures or blogging lately, I feel like i just don't have time and that makes me sad.

Girl Meets Bunny!!!!

It's time for the big news!!!!!
I have opened my own Etsy shop!!
I will be selling wood plaques and platters and hopefully, one day, prints in my shop. I can not tell you how excited I am about this.
The Shop is called Girl Meets Bunny, all of the items are hand painted with my original artwork.

http://www.girlmeetsbunny.etsy.com/

Here are some of the things that are in my shop, I will be posting shop updates every now and then, feel free to comment and critique!
