Lately I've had all up beat updates and that's a good thing. But sadly that is not my life. Happy is the face I put to keep those around me happy. Lately I have been feeling more of my own limits and it doesn't feel good. It's almost Christmas and all I can think of is that I wasn't able to contribute in paying for any of the gifts Roger and I bought for our families. I did make things for my nieces, but that was it.

And today Roger's little sister told us how his mom was talking about us, saying that she can't wait til we know what it's like to deal with real life and pay bills. I can't help but think this is my fault. Maybe if my back was alright and maybe if I wasn't always sick some one would hire me and we could pay for bills and move out. But I do have a bad back and I am always sick and no one wants someone who is always sick as an employee.

Roger tries to comfort me, but let's face it, when you're downing yourself no matter what people say it just makes things worse. And it's not them. It's just that you don't know how to be happy with yourself at this point.

I'll get over it and by tomorrow I'll be smiling again. I guess I'll head to bed now. Good night. And have a very Merry Christmas and holiday season.

Puppy Quilt is Done!

So I finished the first quilt I told you all about. I actually finished it two days ago, but I've been busy qorking on the kitty quilt to post.

Ain't it cute? On the bottom two paws it has the year and my niece's name. After finishing it I realized just how much I love making them as well.... sooooooo....

Like any person who finds things they love to do I'm selling them! Not this one though.... This is my niece's and the kitty isn't for sell either. No I'm making custom made rag quilts on etsy! I'll post a link at the bottom of this. Anyways....

I almost finished cutting out everything for the kitty yesterday, but between a spider bite and my hand swelling from too much cutting I decided it was time to take a break around 10 last night when Roger got home from work. So Hopefully tonight or tomorrow the kitty will be done and I will be posting pictures of that. And once I'm finished with that I'll be starting some new projects for my mom and Roger's mom and then my dad as well. And of course both my sisters and Roger and hopefully my brother. Pray I get them all done on time!

Christmas gifts from the heart

So I know this isn't a quilting blog or anything, but I have been sewing a lot lately and so for Christmas I decided to make rag quilts for my two nieces. One is going to be a pink doggy and one is going to be a purple cat. And both will have the other's colors in it for the eyes, nose, and ears. So far I got all the parts for the dog cut out and most of them sewn as individual pieces as of right now.

Once I'm finished each will be 50'' inches long.

So this is what the head of the dog looks like without being sewn together and with a dark pink piece replacing a piece another piece that I have yet to get to yet. This almost takes up my love's mother's sewing table.

I am also planning on making something for both my sister's and my brother, but just in case they read this I'm not going to say what it is until after Christmas.

I will post updates of my progress as I get further along and hopefully on Christmas I'll be able to post pictures of my nieces with them.

I'm Baaack

And sick once again. So I'm in my second month of college, still unemployed and unable to go to the doctor due to no money. Tis is life though. I'm not here to complain though. Just to update everyone on my life.

Within this month my niece has had her first birthday, I've missed almost a whole week of class in all, and I have become almost obsessed with Animal Crossing. Thanks Roger...

I have been putting off all my stories and art projects and have kinda ignored my computer for quite some time now. I am only on it today because I know I need to.

On top of all that I started two online comics about a month ago and they can be found through the links I'll post at the bottom at this post. The first one takes place in the Victorian Era and is mixed with fantasy. Or it will once I get that far. The story follows a young 18 year old boy who has been raising his three year old sister since their parents died only two months after she was born. It also follows the story of a Duke's daughter who finds herself falling for the boy and his life.

The second is about the Greek Gods and the first part "Will My Moon Rise?" is about a forbidden love between Apollo and his sister Artemis. Now keep in minds this isn't based off any myth of them, just my imagination. Also many gods made their siblings their wife/husband so it's really not that strange...

Neither of them have much to them now but they will soon

Ok so I haven't written on here in awhile. I don't know why I just haven't. But now I'm on here with a challenge for myself.

Last night I watched "Rent" and got to thinking. Only like six years ago everyone video taped everything; Why don't we anymore? So I'm chalenging myself to record a year of lives and everything that goes along with this year. I'll be posting small clips from it as often as possible on both my youtube and here. And at the end of the challenge I will be making a movie with all the things I film.

So here starts my first day in the chalenge. Wish me luck!

AFO!!!!

So in about an hour I'll be getting ready to go to an anime convention and I'm really excited. I'll be going all three days and on Sunday I'll be wearing a costume I made. It's a human form of the Pokemon Vaporeon.

Sick Again

I'm sorry I haven't written in awhile. Between being sick for the past two weeks and always seeming to be busy I just haven't gotten on. If any of you read my love's and mine co-authored blog book Curse of The Sea, sorry. Roger promised we'd submit a new chapter every Saturday, but its been about three weeks. We do plan on updating soon, but this weekend we're booked.

Yes as the title says I was sick yet again. This time it wasn't just me but also Roger, his brother and sister, and his grandmother. But of course I stayed sick after the rest was getting over it and missed my grandmother's birthday because of it.

Roger is still slightly sick, but we're guessing it's because he got sick after everyone else.

I really don't have anything else to say so I'm going to say good bye and go work on getting some scholarships. Bye everyone.

P.S, Thanks Kio for all the good advice!
