 can we take a minute to talk about bras i know some of you just took on your coffee i'm sorry so you know all you everyone morning everybody it is 11 27 a.m Sunday October 3rd don't get excited i looked i have an etsy order i'm gonna go drop it off to go out into tomorrow's mail so i don't have to do it tomorrow i've got it the edit i've got to edit the vlog last week cheese my hair like this is what happens when it starts growing out i'm letting it grow i don't mind it short but i'm letting it grow now anyway it just gets a bit wild look more and more like einstein every day what are you gonna do while we're driving let's have a little chat so all my friends my friends all of my mom's friends out there who are in the dog breeding and training world and any of the rest of you who are much more knowledgeable about dogs than i am um my dad has my mom's dog tala she's a purebred german shepherd she's 11 years old and at home at his house according to him and my niece and her wife um she doesn't have any potty accidents in the house she's really good about it but at my house she keeps peeing in the house and like i don't mean like a couple drops i mean like lots of pee so i don't know how to get her to stop doing it other than just buying her a doggie diapers and maybe maybe maybe that's what needs to happen i don't know um she does have a thyroid issue she's on medication um are they accurate about her not doing it in the house i don't know um his house doesn't smell like dog pee necessarily mostly it's not the cleanest thing in the world so could you tell maybe not um i i don't know what to do so if any of you have some advice let me know um he is visiting and he's welcome as often as he wants to come down and he's welcome to bring tala but we might have to keep her outside unless she's going to bed because she keeps peeing in the house so nothing in the p.o box shipments on the way out and i found a dollar on the floor on the way in so it's going to be a weird day i don't know y'all want to send me happy mail i do have a p.o box address it's down in the video description um go for it yeah i'll open it on camera if you have a small channel i'll shut your channel out all right and who knows you might get something back from me at some point you never know i'll be back let's scare the crap out of me oh my god everybody it is monday morning october fourth nine a.m straight up don't get excited i'm looking at the ipad while the computer's booting up i mean you know i am at the desk y'all should know the routine right now i'm gonna try to get a couple of things filmed today or at least done so that i can film something i eat the samples done so i can film the video the video is not five million minutes long um because tomorrow we're having work done on the house and the work primarily is being done in here in this room in the furnace closet and yeah i won't be able to use this room so uh and the camera's got to get put away tonight so it's out of harm's way so um yeah okay so i guess i'm not checking on facebook groups at least not right now because facebook is down everywhere around the world and all of its other apps are also down so that can't be good i'm thinking that might be really bad i do the laminating machine came yay so i'm going to touch up on laminating the last of the botanicals that i want to work with right now and i'm working on another MSU journal or video so papers are drying for that and yeah just trying to finish up a bunch of stuff and figure out where um how to move a bunch of stuff out of the way for the workman tomorrow i also found a stack of halloween themed themed things that i was going to work with this month that i completely forgot about so but i can't do it tomorrow so later all right i'll be back i pushed one of the shelves over there everything else is over here and so yeah plenty of space for them to work tomorrow and i'm just thinking i don't want to do any drastic changes to the way i have the table set up but it's a good opportunity to like maybe clean the floor maybe move a couple things around i don't know we'll see i really also just talked in a video i was just making about diy collage papers we all make DIY papers right i anyway there's another coming episode where i show you a new take maybe my new take on it something i did anyway i digress some point that's my diy paper been at some point that needs to be better organized that's just not good i have to think about it though ideally i would have a big cabinet with one little bin for each separate kind of paper my room is big but it's not that big so i don't know we'll see i could just use stuff up maybe make some bundles for the ati shop if you guys are interested in that kind of thing i don't know let me know down in the comments below what are your suggestions all right i'm gonna put some laundry away i've got to go check the mail always things i'll be back in populated this corner is jammed with stuff literally nothing in the middle of the room and i can't let the idea of reorganizing my paper go at the moment so excuse me i'm going to have a quick go at sorting it seeing if my idea will work using what i have i do have a horde of bins and organizational things because you know when i when you're obsessive about reorganizing things the way i am occasionally okay a lot then you have like lots of stuff you don't really get rid of anything you just move it around it's a thing right okay let's see where i can go with this and i'll be back so this is now what the bits bank looks like with the six drawers of paper at the end i do have a bin down there down that has tissue paper in it and some miscellaneous papers the next one next to whoops the one next to which is stickers and then that one right there is other miscellaneous large ephemera bits i have a box of stencil waste in there and stuff like that but it was the paper i was having trouble dealing with this will work just great and i still have my larger scrapbook papers pads right there in between i do have a stack i'm gonna let go of including some dictionary paper from a dictionary i just took apart i mean it was an entire dictionary is worth a paper and i don't need all of it so and there's some distressed paper in here and some other things i have a lot of it so i'm gonna let go of it some things that i'm not going to use and they're gonna i'm gonna let go of them how am i gonna let go of them don't know yet so if you're interested let me know you got a paypostage know if you're going to be able to see it it's number crossing see number one but there's deer no they're they're back morning everybody it's Tuesday morning October 5th the time is at 8 20 a.m the furnace people are here the young men are here and they're going to start prepping the house for putting in the new furnace and air conditioner they have more crew coming on and off all day there'll be an electrician coming to at some point and yeah they've turned the power off to air conditioner and furnace are ready and so anyway work is getting underway i'll be back stristling a bit but i'm thinking about the art room i know they're making the best of the house with it like and there's three rough heating and cooling trucks in my driveway more people keep showing up i don't know i guess more people more hands involved in the job means that i'll get done quicker maybe i don't know oh the mail is here holy cow color me surprised so it's just before 9 a.m Wednesday October 6th i think anyway i'm getting ready for the day i have a meeting this morning and i just noticed hold on let me turn the camera around can you see that i know the lighting is not great and bee's back towards the woods corn bowls are full so hopefully they got some before they left you guys there's corn you think by now i would know how to position the camera but no anyway meeting is over i'm going to film a couple of episodes of the messy journaler i have my paper uh bleach paper drying so we can work on that um i'm going to do this so this is a obviously this is you who glue stick it's my preferred kind of glue for most collage things in my art journals i like a glue stick and you who sticks really well and it doesn't come off um with any glue stick you get down to the last little bit that you can't use and it's in this plastic thing at the end and it's true with any kind of glue um and you could just throw it away yes but i take there's always a little glue on the bottom side i take this little spatula tool this is actually a makeup tool by the way it's a little spatula makeup tool if you i think google's makeup spatula one of these will come up on amazon and i dig out the glue it's still usable glue it's just at the bottom where you can't get to it and i put it inside of this other glue stick and push it down glue you uh glue art supplies are expensive even i mean even glue sticks unless you use almas which nothing wrong with almas if you can find almas extreme not the washable almas um washable almas is good for basting fabric temporarily um but i don't like using it in my journals um like almas extreme on the other hand works great it's a good alternative but my preferred one is you who anyway i put it in i push it down spread it out flat and then it's good to go for the next project so i just keep refilling this one from all the ones that are emptied it goes up there we're good to go all right i'm gonna get to creating and i'll be back i got yesterday's today's daily art practice done early i just sat down on the couch just now i did it um i do little drawings or doodles or stitches or something every day for those that don't know anyway if you want to see what i'm doing you have to follow me on social media pick one go on the link playlist the links um if you want to see a lot more of what i do you need to be a patron over in patreon you also get sneak peeks of videos digital downloads from me the occasional actual may snail mail like all that stuff so anyway let's go upstairs and check on the computer maybe maybe it's done i doubt it but let's see surprise it's almost done one minute left holy crap all right well there you have it i was wrong again i'll be good morning everybody it is thursday morning august august holy cow october seventh eight fifty eight a.m and it go run a few errands and check the peel box i need to get some groceries so we're going to get all that done this morning early i also have art projects i want to work on so it's going to be a busy day but that's okay it's about 330 ish i think it's like 333 to be exact um i got my little distressed black and white journal made and i started working it it'll be its own video so anyway walking around in the woods and coming out of the woods that aren't supposed to be in there that's always fun not the first time anyway i think it's apparent picking these kids up at school and they're making any shortcut through the woods to get home it happens anyway i um got the black and white journal made i did the first few pages and the cover in it i'm using a combination of digital downloads for my deacons shop that i printed on sticker paper and stickers i've had and collected over the years some new ones i bought this year images i've collected over the years black and white ones not necessarily skull or halloween themed ones but black and white images yes skulls are involved i do love a good skull themed thing so you know anyway you'll see it in an upcoming video and uh i think it's a lot of fun a little project it's not gonna be a big thick journal i don't necessarily want to use up my entire horde of skull themed things because yeah i'm constantly collecting them but that being said i do need to use some of it so anyway took a break from that got some stuff on the camera until my battery died and i had to change batteries then i got some more i don't know what i missed i won't know until i i could edit who knows uh anyway i have so much trouble keeping the batteries going i don't know if it's the batteries or if it's me losing track of time to be fair and i'll think it's the camera i have a feeling it's more walking can we take a minute to talk about bras i know some of you just choked on your coffee i'm sorry so you know all you other women out there and probably some men understand what it's like to find the right bra hold on when you find the right one it's wonderful but the journey to find the right one is extremely difficult and involves a lot of trial and error and buying things that don't quite work that you think are gonna work it's just horrible lots of background noise anyway when you're young you want it to be pretty underwires are good you know you want to but as you get older i don't want to deal with underwires and i don't really care if it's pretty it just needs to do its job well i found some they worked really well some of them are pretty then i lost weight when you're standing there and you're not even moving and it comes unclipped by itself or they fall out the bottom i know you're still choking on your coffee i'm sorry um it's just not good and it's time for a new one and then you have to go through the trial and error again because i don't know what's going to fit anymore when you buy one you think it's going to work it's too tight they squeeze out the sides under the armpits or cuts off your circulation or oh my god i think i finally found one but it's been really difficult why is it so hard and in this day and age especially of covid finding a shop to fit you properly seriously oh boy that was one of two things i was looking for today the other one was a dress for my brother's wedding which i did not find so we're gonna have to go out to pennies or something maybe over the weekend bob can go with me we'll see i hate buying clothes have i mentioned that already first i see that behind me you don't normally see big rigs with a big trailer in this neighborhood then hang on i see this in front of me good morning everybody it is 10 21 a.m friday october 8th don't get excited we're sitting in front of the computer i've been up for a while because i'm expecting the county inspector at any moment today from 8 30 on so i had to get dressed early um and of course he hasn't shown up yet to inspect the work on the furnace and air conditioner make sure everything's up to code and proper so that's going to get done today and hopefully we pass and we noticed this morning when reviewing the security camera footage from overnight is that the coyotes were coming out of the woods over here again chasing the cats there's some pet cats that are loose and free but there's also some feral cats and the coyote i think is looking for dinner so we've been seeing them a lot um crossing our driveway sniffing around the driveway sniffing around under my car because the cats go underneath my car yeah so that's a thing anyway it is nearly lunchtime and honestly we're just getting going we didn't make it to cars and coffee this morning because we just didn't feel like it um anyway we're going out for a walk with you know spousmatic crazy pants noodle girl lily grand dog yeah i think that's wonderful i need to have my game with the pumpkin collecting i need more i only have three take five i need to go get some more holy cow have you ever started working on your computer only to end up down a deep dark rabbit hole of sorting out and cleaning out hard drive files and reorganizing and yeah i just spent like cleaning up a hard drive that should have been done a long time ago to be honest but i don't didn't want to do it and finally it got to where i had to so hopefully i now i haven't organized it so much i can't find anything let's hope that's not the case in the meantime the last video in the gothic death journal is saving right now and then i will set the computer to load them all and schedule them to youtube and or draw box and then i can walk i like that i like walking away i finally decided i should go through my closet that squeaking is the dog um because two reasons i have a lot of clothes i knew that were not fitting me and i need something to wear to my brother's wedding at the end of the month now half of me is was terrified to try anything on just some really cute things in there i was worried still wouldn't fit me okay let me just put it this way when you can put on a pair of pants without taking your leggings off or zipping them up and they're still huge i think they're too big and it's time to let them go and some of the dresses i didn't even have to unzip them to get them on some of them fit really well and yay i can fit in them again some of them are way too big talk about big they're so big so i have a bag full of clothes it's got to go out to donation and i think i might have had something in my closet i haven't been able to fit into in a long time that maybe will work for my brother's wedding that will save mr bob back there there is some money so yeah he can't be mad about it can't be mad about that no so anyway and we got some covers in for the new air conditioner to keep the pine needles and things out of it and so i think that'll work bugs yeah pine needles acorn squirrels now all of it so anyway it's been a busy day although i don't feel like it has been i think we've gotten a lot done i don't know it feels like it's almost over it feels yeah it's late it feels like eight o'clock but it's not it's only 452 so i don't know maybe because it's overcast outside and it's a little gray i don't know anyway i'll check back with you later my last check-in for the week i'll be back good morning everybody it's
