The place where I go.

Last semester I took ceramics 1 and gradually found a new calling.  I knew I would like ceramics, but I didn't know I would end up LOVING it. I found my go-to place for meditating and calming my nerves, and I wasn't that bad at it either.  Hand building was not my thing, but once I hit the wheel I just didn't want to stop.

Here are a few of my favorite pieces from the class.

In my heart you will stay

Here are some of the shots my sister took of Hunter and I while we were home over the break.


I just couldn't be happier.

Tkaye in the making.

My mom finally hung up a painting I did back in the spring.  It looks great!  It's definitely the best painting I have done thus far.





Look familiar?

Thrifting

My finds from this Thanksgiving break.. 

Tacky Christmas sweater, braided headband (that just needs new elastic), long sleeve white shirt, Forever 21 tank top, retro cross-body purse.  All for $4.76

Antique television.  Added this to my wish list. (It could happen)

Manikin head with wig.  Needed the head for an art piece.  The wig was just a plus..





Happy thrifting!

When life gives you lemons..

This past week I learned so much about myself; so much more than I am physically and emotionally capable of dealing with at this point in my life.

I'm at that point in my life where I'm in between caring and not caring. And it's caused a bunch of confusion in my mind. I think I have gotten the categories mixed up in my life by not setting my priorities straight. It's a wonder a why I can't focus and get anything done. Yet, at the same time I'm slowly discovering who I really am, what I want in this life, and what God's plans are for me in this life.


This holiday season I am thankful for who I have become over the past year. I'm thankful for those who have stuck by my side. And I'm thankful God gave me the desire to love every single one of them.
