my secret santa gift is finished!

I hope they like it. I decided to go back to my roots with this one. They're a bit older than me so I hope it's not lost on them. Maybe I should give them a return envelope in case they hate it because I love it.

A gift

I hesitate to post this because I am a little nervous to share it. I was even more nervous to give it to him. I made this for our friend UGLYSHEEP who is an incredible artist. Have I ever mentioned him on here? I don't think I have...ha ha!

Well here it goes. I wanted to do something special for him but also do something that I am passionate about. I wanted to put a spin on what I normally do with my collages because I am thinking about doing more of this in the future. I wish I had better pics of it to share.

A few things I've been working on; along with my sanity

Sometimes I feel lazy because all I want to do when I get off work is sit and watch TV. The more I think about it it's because I hate my job. I use to love it but now I hate it. In fact I just hate having a "job". When I get off work I just want to be around the things that make me happy; Tyrone, Frederick and my family. In my mixed up mind I translate not wanting to do things after work into being lazy. I'm not lazy; I honestly really like being busy and doing things with my hands, just not work related things. I love creating things. These are some things that I've been keeping my hands busy on so that I don't lose my mind. These are things that make me feel good in addition to the wonderful people in my life. I've finally decided to share them against my "better" judgement.

I'm pretty excited about this chair. My mom gave it to me after getting it from my aunts. It's a pretty old metal stool and was brown and very dirty. I knew as soon as I saw it what I wanted to do with it.
