 right onto State Highway 99W South. Thank you Jeves. It is Sunday June 30th, the last day of June. We are headed over to the coast for the day. It's 10.19am and we're going to go to the Oregon Coast Aquarium. So we are going to Newport. We're going to go exploring and in half a mile turn left onto Southwest 124th Avenue. He's kind of a nag. Well it's just where we're driving. Sometimes I cut Jeves out. Fun fact. Sometimes I cut Jeves out. So anyway, so we're headed to the coast for the day. We'll bring you along and in 1000 feet turn left. In this you've seen all the clip. Find this at the store when I want to go buy bottled water. It's in a can. I'll be looking for this. We just drove by a state park that was called the Devil's Punch Pole. Decided as to whether that sounds like a really fun or a very scary place to be. It's Monday July for 53 p.m. Working on some Etsy listings which I have to finalize still. Taking photographs. The editing was a little challenging because one of the videos that's coming out my head's in a way. There was no way to cut that out. Anyway sorry guys in advance. I was cleaning off my table also getting ready for July. So I got the first couple projects for July done. I'll be sharing them on Instagram and social media later. I need to catch up my June journal but I'm gonna not do that today. I'll maybe do it tomorrow. And we're going to a neighborhood 4th of July thing. So I need to figure out what I'm bringing. I need to send out some emails later. I think that's it for the moment. The husband is home all week. He's off. He's outside on the back patio having a cocktail and some a snack. Doritos I think. And yeah I'm watching YouTube while video is saving and yeah it's a nice quiet Monday at home. Just how I like it. I'll be back. Hey everybody it's Tuesday July 2nd. I almost said June. It's July. It's July. Yeah it's already 1 18 p.m. What have we done? Why didn't I vlog earlier? No reason. We were just goofing off around the house. Doing stuff upstairs. Oh yeah neighbors are getting their house painted. It'd be interesting to see what color. Now we're gonna go get a few groceries. We're attending a block party for 4th of July so we need to bring dessert. And we want to go back to the library and I want to stop at Michael's so we're gonna go do all that and we'll be back. I'm gonna wait for Bob to repark the car because that was a bad part. I should say we had a tornado touchdown in northeast Portland yesterday July 1st. You can probably look it up on the news on the internet somewhere. We weren't affected because we're south of Portland but feel sorry for those people that were. A lot of damaged homes and trees down and yeah all kinds of fun stuff so anyway we're gonna go return all the CDs that we borrowed and see what else we can get up to. I'll be back. And Space Museum. We're on our way to the space side. I fully expected to be bored today. That didn't happen. Nope it's really fascinating and I'd recommend it for anybody who's in the area of McMinnville. You want to come visit. All right that's it. We're gonna go see some space capsules so we'll be back. This is a really cool interesting museum. Both the space and airplane side. Airplane. Aerospace side. I do recommend it for anybody in the area to visit. If you want to see my thoughts and more pictures. My thoughts on the museum and more pictures that I'm gonna use some or all of in inspiration for art coming up. I'm posting them over in the Facebook group. My creative year. The one where I teach it with my friends so you're gonna have to head over there. There's also a little video for me. A little talk for me about art and inspiration so the link to join is in the description below. All right that's it. I'll be back. We got the rest of art to do including eating some lunch. I'm starving. I do want to show you all. Talk about old school computer systems. This is a replica of the control room for said Titan nuclear missile by the way. In case you didn't know that's what that was behind me. Uh wait hold on. That big silver that's a Titan nuclear missile. Anyway all right I'll be back. We stopped to have a snack before we leave to run the rest of our errands. And there again is the spruce goose behind me. Can you see it in compared to that plane next to it? Those are fighter planes. That's the spruce goose. Its body length is the same width around and slightly shorter than the old. What is it the old Boeing 747s? But the wingspan is the longest wingspan on any plane ever and probably always will be to quote the tour guide. 320 feet. 320 feet. The propellers are 17 feet to tip. I'm only five foot three and a good day. Yeah it's huge. Just gigantic. Anyway we're going to go run the rest of our errands. I'll be back. Every time the neighbors are in their side yard or talking in the driveway I can hear everything. It sounds like they're in the house. Anyways how are you guys today? It's July 4th. It's 2 13 p.m. And yeah so far so good. We were up pretty late last night getting a bunch of stuff done. I don't think we got to bed until after midnight. After the errand space museum we went out and ran a bunch of errands. My husband really really needed a new computer so he'd already researched which one he wanted and there's a bunch of good 4th of July sales going on right now. If you need technical equipment now's the time to buy it if you're in the U.S. anyway. So we went and did that last night so he spent the rest of the evening and he's upstairs today transferring files and getting things hooked up and yeah. So anyway we are going to be attending a 4th of July party at a neighbor's house today at about 4 o'clock which will be fun and we're bringing dessert. I got to put some more puffy eye gel on and a little bit of makeup stuff like that. I'm working on some laundry. I already did my I did another paper clip today. I did a tag and I did my daily drawings are ready. They're already done so I think I'm going to post them early so I don't have to worry about doing it later. I did find a small hole in the upstairs fiberglass bathtub. So at some point during the whole issue that we had upstairs at the leaky toilet somebody dropped something and it put a hole in the bathtub. It's not a big hole it's a little tiny hole so we're going to have to see if we can patch it. It's not a tub and shower we use unless there's company over that shower never gets used but in case we do have company we need to patch that hole so it doesn't leak to the downstairs because that would be bad and I don't really want to replace the whole tub. Yeah fun times anyway that's it for the moment so now my husband's got a DIY to do because I he doesn't want to really pay anybody unless we have to so he's going to try patching it and yeah good thing he doesn't go back to work until Monday all right that's it for the moment I'll be back. Hey guys good morning at least I think it's still morning hold on it's July 5th it's Friday it is technically still morning 11 46 a.m and so obviously I'm upstairs in the art room and I've been playing and creating just a little bit I did another tag today and I made another paper clip today if you want to see those kind of things that I make every day then you need to follow me like on Instagram or over in the Facebook my one of my groups a life of art and self-expression the tags are being shared over in my creative year which is another group all those links where to support the free content here on YouTube along with my Twitter and all of that stuff they're all in the link tree list of links so which is in the video description so check it out anyway so I was doing that today I also hang on let's see if I can do this without spelling I also took a hammer to an old hard blue CD case you know a hard hard plastic and I'm using bits of that in art and you know I'm really enjoying using what I have using the unexpected and unusual and also making my own embellishments I'm really really enjoying that and that's going to continue going forward for the foreseeable future so anyway my husband is out getting some hardware parts because we he's going to do a couple of DIY projects for me here around the house before he goes back to work Monday and tomorrow is my niece's baby shower she's expecting and due in September for her first baby a little boy and yeah so we're going to drive up to her house which is about an hour and a half or so away tomorrow and celebrate with her and her family and bring her some gifts and yeah we were with the neighbors at the 4th of July barbecue at their house last night until very late in the evening but it was a lot of fun getting to know everybody and I would do that again in heartbeat so it's it's nice finally settling into the new neighborhood and getting to know everybody and yeah it's pretty cool so anyway I think that's it for the moment I need to go check the mailbox and I need to eat some lunch because now I'm hungry all right I'll just say last night we had a lot of discussions as we were getting to know everybody with people just you know basically don't be an asshole and so I had a lot of really interesting discussions with people which was amazing I'm socially awkward on a good day but it was a really fun time and hopefully I made a good impression but I guess I'll find out in a couple of days um but I was inspired today to wear my don't be an asshole t-shirt if you want merch like this or they'll have a lot of other things go visit my t-spring which should be linked in the description below again it's in the link link tree list of links you can get shirts you can get leggings with my artwork on it I have the don't be an asshole be a decent human and also be a rainbow if you want to know what I mean by those without assuming that you think you know what I mean let me know because we'll have a little talk all right I'm gonna do some more laundry and have some lunch I'll be back good morning everybody I can say that because technically it's still morning it's 11 19 it's Saturday July 6th I almost said 5th um we are headed into Olympia Washington for our niece's baby shower we're gonna be great aunt and uncle again I don't know if I should be happy or annoyed about that but it is what it is right so anyway I'm glad that she's um happy and having a baby and yeah I can't wait for the little boy it's a little boy can't wait for him to be born so anyway we're headed up to do that and of course visit with my parents while we're up there so I'll film what I can when I can and bring you with us and I'll be back while we're in Olympia Washington we're gonna stop at Hobby Lobby on the way home against his better judgment but I talked him into it but my niece Katie and her husband Brendan um the very happy parents to be are gonna make great parents it was a fun party and I can't wait for their little baby Paxton is his name gonna be born Paxton Gunner Paxton Gunner right Paxton Gunner hey yes their last name is hey like the grass hey hey yeah anyway all right that's it we're gonna go to Hobby Lobby I'll be back anyway I got the husband to pick up a few things so I could have probably gone to the dollar store and saved a little money but yeah Hobby Lobby was there so I got a cheap four dollar glue gun low high template I also got some and I've never used before colored glue sticks so I have an idea for another sort of embellishment thing that we're gonna try with that and maybe regular hot glue which I also have I picked up some more polymer clay today so I'm gonna try some Paddy Tolly Parish style polymer clay tiles along with making some more of the um little what do you call them these from the wax oops can you tell I'm tired from the wax seals but out of polymer clay um so I want to make some more of these I think I'm like completely out of the black so um hopefully black was one of the colors I got because it was a color I meant to get yes yes it's in here so I got black white some more white I got some turquoise and I got some purple and um yesterday in the mail I got a new seal from Wish this is um Ginko leaves if I'm not mistaken and I think there's a couple more coming too so um I was missing a stencil in my actually my prototype collection so it went straight to manufacturing and to sale on Etsy and I never even had one in my stash so there you go um so that was interesting but yeah so we have that um what else um she said the parts um for those who are wondering my friend Karla McCants cuts stencils and things she has an Etsy store I'll link it below um I got some quilling paper because now my friend Vicki and also Kelly Dabrinsky have started this thing with quilling and immediately I got an idea for some embellishments um like we could all be using in mixed media I've never done quilling I've done paper beads before so I do have quite a few tools I think that would cross over I did pick up a few things like some more pins that I don't mind getting gluey because my sewing pins are not going to touch the glue um and I did get um I did get a quilling tool although I do think maybe some of my paper bead tools might work for at least maybe not for proper quilling but for what I have in mind so we're going to be playing and experimenting and I also got a court board so yay for me and you know what the computer hasn't been on all day sorry for the funky lighting holy cow the computer hasn't been on all day and I'm not going to turn it on I sweet talked my friends into doing my daily social media posts for me or begged and pleaded I think they did a good job what do you all think if you're not
