...on being practical


...I'm not practical...
...I'm a dreamer...
at lest when it comes to creating

In fact there are about 20 tabs open on my Chrome explorer right now...I'm researching and gathering ammo for my next big project....heehee :)
Yes...
I always have some project on the go...
From sewing and scrap-booking to rug making, or reupholstering...
Theres always something...
I like being busy...
When I decide I want to create something
or try something new...
I will...
And it doesn't matter what stands in my way
or how hard it is...I WILL...
Just watch me:P
This is where my Mom comes in...
My Moms practical...She's a realist
And I have been known to on occasion call her
a 'bubble buster' :D
Its a term of endearment when I say it to her :P
So when you put a practicality together
with Mel...
You get a sometimes discouraged Mel
and a Mom...Who always knows best...
(And I have indeed come to the conclusion that
this is the perfect balance...)
Mel: Hair-brand idea...
Mom: *POP*
:D
I love her for it...
SRSLY...
If I could change one thing about her...
It would be nothing...Nothing at all...
Cause I need her...
My art class needs her...
My creativity depends on her input...
:D

Back on track:
Mel is writing this blog because her Mom is away
babysitting for two weeks and Mel needs to make practical decisions...
All alone...
By herself...
:O

When I come up with an idea...I talk to my Mom about it first...
Mom whats the best way to approach this...
Mom whats the best way to do this...
What do you think Mom....Does it look better like this or like this???
Mom...Where can I can big enough branches in the dead of winter to make an Easter Tree for my Art class... My Mom would've probably told me you don't need a tree my dear sweet Mel...Just decorate the walls, it'll look just as nice...But MOM I NEED to MAKE AN EASTER TREE... So after a couple arguments self versus self I decided that an Easter Tree is just what we need to decorate our school...:D
I pick up the phone and I weasel my brother Pat into helping me...
We climb a big snow pile...
AND we get some big branches...I only landed on my backside once :P...
I knew it was do-able!!!
But now comes the hard part...
Getting them to stand...
IT WILL stand...
AND we will decorate it...
Our kindergarten made that wonderful bird on top...
:D
(Will upload some more pics when its completely done...)



A mere after thought...
I sit here wondering what it was that we did for Art...I don't remember...I think all we ever did is color cut and paste...I don't think I had much fun...Other wise I would remember :P...
I over heard my Gr 8 guys talking today
1: I wonder where she gets this Art from...It's so creative :P (I'm almost willing to bet the second half of the comment was laced with sarcasm...But I'll take what I can get LOL :P)
2: (in all his Gr: 8 wisdom responded) To much internet!
Needless to say I almost burst out laughing...
I hope they enjoy it...
And I hope they have fun...
Cause I don't want to spend hours preparing for something
that's not going to be appreciated...
Sometimes I'm met with a groan
or an Oh-No!...or an I can't do it...
Sometimes I can shake it of...
Sometimes I get discouraged...
But I guess it's all a part of life...

And better late then never...Our valentines art projects...We finished them later then I would have liked...At the beginning of March, but that's fine I guess...
*Note to self* Plug out glue gun when you are finished with it right away not two weeks later :S lol
