I’m very pleased to report that this last term at school went great! I took the first term of Calculus and Intro. to Linear Algebra and got A’s in both classes! I also had a really good time with the classes. I had great teachers too! I have seen a real improvement in my ability to actually get to classes because of my bipap sleep machine and have seen an even greater increase in my ability to do homework and concentrate since I started taking Abilify last January. Doing well in school has always been important to me, but because of my schizophrenia and sleep problems I have had a lot of issues with being able to attend and get through classes.

When I first became ill when I was 15 my grades really suffered. For the first time in my life I wasn’t a straight A student which was quite disheartening. The last two terms in school I have been feeling a lot like my old self for the first time since I was 15!!!

Anyway, this last term was great and a real ego booster! I just hope I can keep up the success! :)

good morning coffee art

Art, Caffeine, Coffee, Colorful, drawings, Food, Handmade, Illustrated, Kitchen, Kristin Bell, Multimedia, Painting, Watercolor

Just finished this new piece about coffee! I love coffee and I figured other people might like this too if I decide to sell it. It reminds me of mornings when people have a cup of java with the newspaper. I actually used coffee to paint with in parts of this. I also used pen & ink, watercolors and cutting and pasting. I haven’t smelled it yet, but I’m pretty sure it will also SMELL like coffee! haha

Bounty Art

Art, Carrot, Cooking, Cute, drawings, Food, Illustrated, Kitchen, Kristin Bell, Multimedia, Onion, Painting, Peas, Pen & Ink, Vegetables, Watercolor

I just made this piece I call “Bounty.” I was thinking that someone might like this kind of art for their kitchen or something. It is comprised of a carrot, pea pods, and an onion all done with pen & ink and watercolor. Then I did the text with pen & ink and a ribbon. All elements were made separately then glued on. Makes me hungry for vegetables! haha!

I pulled this doll out of storage too. My grandmother gave her to me after she got back from a trip to Greece. I think she is really lovely. I wonder if anyone out there knows anything about these types of dolls???

Vintage Cabbage Patch Kid!

Just wanted to share some pics of my Cabbage Patch Kid that I just dug out of storage! I bought her with $40 that I earned from selling a painting of a kitten that I painted back when I was a kid. She has two outfits. One is her workout clothes complete with headband and kitty sweats. The other is her aqua dress. Plus she has shoes and socks! Oh! And she has her original diaper too! lol. Her name is Felice Veronica, but I don’t know where her birth certificate and adoption papers are. :( Hehe. Click the images to enlarge. :)
