 is off to the gym. I was kind of toying with the idea for a hot second this morning of going with him and then thought you know my anxiety is just not there yet so yeah that didn't happen. As you can hear yes we still have crazy pants. She actually goes HOME today she doesn't know that so yeah that's a thing. I'm up here in the art room checking on social media and stuff which she's not happy about because she wants me downstairs on the couch with her. Yes yes I know. Anyway it's Sunday it's just gonna be a chill relaxing day I think we might go for a WALK later. I have a few art projects I might start on I also have that vlog for last week to edit and all of that jazz. I just got done checking on social media so we're all good there. I have to redo my lists of to do things for next week and I have upcoming this week we have the cleaning lady coming. It's time for the bug people to come spray. I have a telehealth doctor's a visit on Tuesday morning which is gonna be interesting so it's gonna be a busy week I think. Anyway all right that's it for the minute I'll be back. For an afternoon walk this is the river by our house. I think so anyway enjoying the fresh air and sunshine getting some vitamin D. I'm looking at the knoves or the kayakers. Kayakers. Fun fact I like kayaking. As long as the water is calm like that I'm good with it. All right we're gonna keep walking I'll be back. I spent the morning working on laundry which I'm going downstairs to change loads and actually fix myself at lunch. I've been trying to get video clips off the camera on the phone which they're finally done and now I can edit the vlog while I eat lunch. While I was waiting I was swatching a bunch of watercolors that I made recently. I'll put a picture here somewhere I was making the color keys and some swatches for some of them. Some of them are intended for patreon giveaways so trying to get those ready. I also owe the patrons a zoom meeting which I haven't scheduled yet so bright light. So yeah and my furnace filters finally came in which bright light I have to get upstairs. So you know typical Monday lots of stuff going on and I guess I had the volume turned down on my phone because my phone rang twice and I didn't know it until I got voicemail or I didn't ring at all. It's like the second time recently that's happened so it's very weird. Anyway one was spam one was my doctor's office confirming my telehealth appointment tomorrow so that's alright. Alright I think that's it for the minute I'm going to make some lunch change laundry loads and get back to editing. Alright I'll be back. So it's Monday evening because it's after 5 so I guess technically it's evening. We're going out for a walk or without Lily. We love her but you know no pole we don't have to tell her no grass you don't have to call her crazy pants. I got a lot of stuff today including starting working on the new zombie doll series the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. So I'm working on the first one the white one Conquest Conker. I don't know he carries a bow and arrow my notes are back at the house. Anyway we'll be doing some work on him on the live broadcast on Wednesday which has to be Wednesday because I've got stuff tomorrow and yeah anyway we're gonna go get some steps in and I'll be back. Hello people it is Tuesday September 29th my husband's birthday everybody wish him a happy birthday. He is of course working. I ordered him a couple of things for his garage on Amazon so they should be in a few days. We are going to do birthday dinner in and all of that because hello COVID. Anyway I had to tell a health appointment with my doctor this morning I've got to do some blood work but I don't need to fast before I go in so that probably means they're not doing blood sugar. I'm not sure. She's also going to be prescribing me a new daily asthma medicine at least for right now during fire season since I'm having an issue since we had the smoke problem. I want to do that all the time so and actually she's called it in to the pharmacy already and I'm across the street from there I was picking up some more blood glucose test strips no I'm not diabetic but my mom is severely diabetic and as were a bunch of relatives on both her side and my dad so it is something I keep an eye on trying really hard this year to get my health under control and I'm doing pretty good I've lost another 11 pounds since the last time I saw the doctor so yay me. Anyway I do check it periodically and I was at a test strips wall not out out I have some but they expired like a year ago last month I know right so yeah I don't know how accurate the readings are with those they do work but you know so anyway these things are time-sensitive so I went picked up some more anyway I'm gonna pop over to the pharmacy and I guess see if they cover this new asthma medicine because I don't even know if they're gonna cover it so I'm gonna pop in and see if they'll find out for me and I need to try to get over but that's gonna be fun massive amounts of traffic so anyway it's 1 35 p.m. on the 29th and I'm out doing some things yes that I need to do but I also just want to get out of the house to be honest with you so we're kind of doing both it's 5 15 p.m. yes p.m. Wednesday September 30th completely forgot to vlog all day today the cleaning lady our has been here we love our letty she helps me get that keep top get and keep house clean she's wonderful hold on yeah yeah I haul bathroom okay one funny fact about me I like the lids down on the toilets anyway it's been a crazy day I did a live broadcast at 10 because I didn't do one yesterday and I had appointments and stuff so it didn't work out so we did one today we worked on the first of the four horsemen of the apocalypse zombie dolls and I've already turned everything off for the day up here so we'll turn some lights back on anyway here is the rider and here is his horse now the pattern for my version of the zombie dolls is available in my Etsy shop it includes templates for the bones and skeleton on the back of these I have printed a label and the rider and horsemen each have the same label just explaining what they are and I've labeled the backs of all of my zombie dolls with their name or something this is the first time I've actually printed it on fabric and then sewn that to the back of the doll I do have keep getting asked about that so you can of course just iron muslin to freezer paper cut it to 8 1.5 by 11 and run that through your printer before you peel it off the freezer paper or use it in a project you're gonna want to put a couple of coats of some kind of sealer on it a spray sealer some kind of cry on matte finish spray or something like that take it outside and give it a couple of quick coats on the front and back so the ink doesn't run not that you're gonna be washing it or anything but it will also help it from fading and all of that stuff so but I usually have and I've done that I usually have those some June Taylor sew-in computer printer fabric there's 10 sheets in here so not a lot so I use it sparingly it's not super cheap I usually get it on Amazon or something although I am gonna look and see if there's any other sites on the internet but it's a June Taylor printer sew-in computer printer fabric for ink jet printers so that's what I use and we're gonna be making some damn it dolls anybody remember those I talked about it in today's live broadcast and I re-typed the poem that goes on the doll and printed that on some of the fabric so I printed labels for all of the horsemen so they all have their this is the next one I'm working on is war and I was working on four horsemen prompts props props hello English just bypassing me right now so this is wars sword oops so this is a wars sword and then I went ahead while I had the copper sheet metal out and the wire and everything I made the sith for the last one that I'm gonna do which is death the one in between is famine or pestilence I have to make scales figure out how I'm gonna make scales exactly how that worked out in my head yet but you know I've got more copper metal I've got plenty of wire and I got my bag of flies I've got a few more skulls I have more skulls coming so I don't know exactly yet I have to figure out how to make the bowls yeah I don't know yet so I gotta figure that out so anyway that's what I've been working on today I did a little bit of computer work but not too much really just put some things away and worked on the horsemen and and you know stayed out of the cleaning ladies away so she could do her job cuz you know I need to be in her way started on my new inhaler this morning I'll take a few days to a few weeks to see if it's helping and yeah I think I think I'm just going to the gym tonight I think not exactly sure will I go walking while he's gone I don't know yet depends on one how hot it is and two how I'm feeling with my asthma fun fact my knee feels great the asthma sucks but you know what are you gonna do anyway I'm gonna sit and have some water and watch some YouTube when you have people in to do things like clean they always move things around a little bit where they think they should be rather than where you would like them so I've been going around the house kind of fixing things so yeah I'm gonna do that and I'll be back so we're motivating ourselves with cookies it's probably not the best way to motivate for exercise but it is what it it we're having a blah Wednesday it's a blah hump day so I don't know my leg let my lungs feel a little bit congested but they're not too bad it's a little bit smoky out but not too bad we're gonna go walking and see what we can see I'll be back welcome to October it's Thursday October 1st it's just before lunch it's like 1151 or something and I won't be doing this every day because that's a lot of extra work I just really don't have the timer energy for but I did start off artpocalypse 2020 with a little time-lapse video that I will put it I'll put it here for you all it's also the first page in my little journal playing with that pencil stash that I found the first thing of course that I did was swatch all the pencils see which ones would smudge well which ones were duplicates I pulled out and put in my purge box which ones would move with water which ones erased better than others you need to know what they'll do before you can you know work with them and then I decided to just start off the month simply by using some of the rubber stamps I've designed and creating a page and then coloring it with the pencils to give it a try and I really like the way that turned out it's it's really cute I used stamp sets 11 and 13 I show on camera also those sets 9 and 14 at the moment that we're filming this all of my rubber stamps are on sale there are two that are out of stock already and it might be 11 and 13 I'm actually not sure but the link from my Etsy shop is down below all the rubber stamps and all the stencils are all on sale until the 15th of October anyway so I have done that so I'm looking forward to that I will probably tomorrow do a couple pages ahead just because I think doing some over the weekend might be a little bit challenging time-wise I probably won't film them I'll just do still shots but I'm still it doesn't matter what you do just share it and Art Pop Lips 2020 for the month of October the prompt words are available all over social media I will try to remember to put a link with them down below so you guys can get your list the first word was nature so we did we did a nature scene sort of anyway I am going to turn some lights off up here and go downstairs and eat lunch I'm going to be working on another horse for horsemen of the apocalypse doll today we're going to work on war and here's his pieces did I show yesterday that I made his little sword I don't remember now until I edit the video but yeah there's a little sword and I made that sith for the last one which is going to be death and so yeah anyway I think that's it for the minute so yeah my focus is on the drawings and the new zombie dolls this week and pretty much that's it for the moment I will be filming a couple of things for YouTube like project pan art supply style and stuff like that but I don't have to do that until next week so for right now I'm going to be working on that stuff all right that's it for the minute I'll be back so right about here it was very dark out but we were being very careful and I had a flashlight on dear sweet left or is just sore this morning but this is what my face looks like hold on I'm guessing in another day or so this probably right here is going to be black and blue it's because there's no scrape here it's just red there's a scrape here on the side of my nose that's probably gonna be black and blue too thankfully you know we wear masks out but yeah so there's my face for right now I guess I'm lucky I didn't break anything or knock a tooth out but yeah my phone case which we're recording on it got all scratched up and my screen protector which was already cracked is now just yeah beyond repair so my daughter ordered me replacement of both this last night they should be here Monday so yeah sometimes hey guys it's about 11 o'clock on Saturday the 3rd of October shutting things down for the day evening evening and I'm getting ready to go to bed as you can see the face well it looks like I got socked in the face it's not too bad I've been still putting ice on it periodically to temporary swelling and hopefully reduce the amount of bruising that's going on I'm gonna go downstairs in a minute and put some vitamin E cream on it to aid healing and it's not too bad considering I literally face planted into the sidewalk last night so my daughter did come back from working in California and she did make a stop at Daiso while she was there for me Japanese dollar store they have them in California we don't have them here in Oregon it's the one thing about California I can tell you besides a few people that I miss and she brought me back some more bags so that means that sometime in the next couple of days the new sticker flakes will be available in the Etsy shop now I'm gonna try to keep the cost down for you all as much as I can but I am doing this all myself they're not cheap to produce and so I mean they're not gonna be like two dollars or anything so I'm not gonna gouge y'all but you know I gotta make a fair deal on them so I'm gonna do what I can what it's just a weird week I don't know I'm gonna work next week on finishing the four horsemen I do want to make a day of the dead doll and of course there's a huge list of other zombies somebody's suggested in the last live mr. air quality that's an interesting idea for a zombie doll and I've got some ideas I don't know how I would accomplish them on the doll but it's an interesting idea so I'm thinking I also started working on my Christmas list I know Christmas is probably not gonna be what we all expect it's gonna be just you and whoever's in literally in your house maybe a couple other people that you trust but it's not gonna be like what we usually do traveling around and seeing people and like I just don't think that's happening I don't think a lot of people are ready for that but it's not I don't think it's happening it's 2020 over yet anyway we tried to go get flu shots today and there's some information they say they needed it's not on our insurance card that we've never heard of that before so we couldn't get the flu shots so we have to wait until Monday and call them and we might just go to the doctor's office I don't know it's just been a weird day we try to get some parts for the garage at the at home depot the heart our local big box hardware store they didn't have any more in stock they were sold out like the supply chain thing is just an issue always and it's just so random what's in and what's not so I just a week I said that already right anyway I hope that despite the weirdness that's going on right now that you're able to stay creative and that you are doing something constructive with the strangeness whether it's making zombie dolls like I am or you know making face masks or working out the stress in your journaling and other forms of creativity whatever it is I encourage you to do that also talk about it finds the people that you feel comfortable talking about the situation and the stress and all of the things with because that's healthy too it's not healthy to keep it inside I don't think not for me anyway yeah with that I think I'm gonna go to bed I might have to read a little bit because that's usually my modus operandi go to bed to go to sleep because I need to read but I think that's what I'm gonna do anyway support the free content if you can here on YouTube and over in the Facebook art groups there is a link tree link down in the description and in it you will find when you click on it you will find my Etsy shop and Amazon affiliate stores and the merch store and like all the things for the things so go check it out and if you have a favorite content creator either here on YouTube
