This is the best thing I’ve ever seen

Here’s a “life-hack” for you. Apparently concentrated Kool-Aid can be used as a pretty effective leather dye. I was making a drink while cutting the snaps off some new straps for my pauldrons and I got curious, so I tried it, thinking, “ok even if this works, it will just wash out.” Nope. It took the “dye” (undiluted) in about 3 seconds. After drying for about an hour and a half, it would not wash off in the hottest tap-water. It would not wash out after soaking for 30 minutes. It did not wash out until I BOILED it, and even then, only by a tiny bit and it gave it a weathered look that was kind of cool. Add some waterproofing and I’d wager it would survive even that. That rich red is only one application too. Plus it smells great, lol. So there you go, cheap, fruity smelling leather dye in all the colors Kool-Aid has to offer.

I want to prove a point to a coworker of mine.

Pretend this post is the coronavirus.

If you see this on your dash, just reblog it.

Let’s show them how quickly this virus can spread from just one person.

I love this

Some of you use punk as an excuse to be a dick, and it shows

Okay in my house we have a strange tradition. My mother builds this beautiful Christmas village.

It wraps all around our house through the rooms and under the trees and it’s wonderful.

Every year she hides the Christmas Vampire

This started when I was a very small got child and spread to all of my friends, including my best friend from elementary school who I just so happened to grow up and marry. Now that we have grown up and moved nearly 600 miles away we still always go home for a week at Christmas for multiple reasons, including the Christmas Vampire.

Needless to say we still partake and things have gotten heated.

Stay tuned for the epic conclusion and to see my husband and father in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s sooty costume when I find the Christmas Vampire First!

Happy Haunting!

This is.. the best thing I have ever opened this app and seen.

You know what they say,

“fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me a third time and you’re allowed to take away my executive functioning because clearly I’m too irresponsible to actually make good decisions.”

K wait but trying to figure out if she cuffs her jeans because she’s short or she cuffs her jeans “because she’s short”

I know if I don’t finish cleaning my room I’ll feel horrible all week and won’t have any energy because my cave is a disgusting hellhole. But I am once again laying on my unmade bed scrolling through my phone not cleaning.

Just a creator struggling with perfectionism.

I had a breakdown a few weeks ago about my art class at school, because if the accelerated classes I had art every day for 60-72 minutes and it was exhausting.

I’m not used to the traditional school system, until now I’d been in a program that gave me a lot more freedom in how and when I did my coursework so this ridiculous structure was a really hard adjustment.

This is the page of my art project I’d been working on when I had my breakdown, so I dedicated it to perfection because I needed a topic to use my voice on.

My art teacher commented at the end of class yesterday that since my breakdown she’s noticed I’ve given myself more permission to take risks and ultimately mess up and it’s made my art stronger.

This is what happens when I am told I need to eat but have no desire to make anything.

Lazy leftover spaghetti and beans with a can of chickpeas and a jar of sauce à la Sophie

As a painter there is no better feeling than mixing The Right Colour first try

That is all.

Happy birthday to me

Happy birthday to me

Fun day, my mum babysits my cousins after school on Thursdays so they surprised me at home with a tea party and a treasure hunt.

Super fun day, I think one of the highlights might have been when one I’d my school friends sang me happy birthday in French because I went to francophone school for 6 years and she’s learning French now. It was really sweet and I rememberd just how much I love it in French.

My parents got me a set of acrylic paint pens and I’m in love with them, I spent most of the evening figuring out how they work and drawing with them.

I do this thing where I obsessively draw one simple character for weeks on end, and I’ve just started to draw this cute mushroom. My friend suggested I combine it with my last obsession drawing, Arthur the dinosaur.

This is what it looks like right now, as well as a photo of Shroomy (the mushroom) and Arthur (yes I did in fact turn him into a stuffed animal)
