about me

Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

dumbass quote

  • "I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps. And I believe that our education like, such as South Africa, and, the Iraq, everywhere like such as. And I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children."

Talking through some ideas

July 25, 2007

Now that I’ve mostly recovered from what felt like an abysmal failure in my ceramics class last semester, I’m feeling slightly creative again. But as usual, I’m not sure where to direct this energy. I think I feel like knitting. I’ve been wanting to tackle knitting a pair of socks for a while now. If I started now, I could have them finished by winter.

I really want to give handmade gifts for Christmas this year. The idea has always appealed to me, but somehow I never find enough ideas for everyone. Maybe knitted socks is a good place to start. I think even my dad (the world’s most difficult person to buy for) could appreciate socks. Our family in Florida might not have much use for socks though.

I’ve never tried carving wood. I would love to make myself a set of wooden spoons. I think a set of handcrafted wooden spoons would be a great gift. I’m not sure everyone in my family would agree. I suppose I should figure out how to make them before I settle on spoons as a gift idea.

I’ve also been wanting to work with polymer clay. I just don’t have a specific project. I think that’s the problem with most of my ideas. I know the medium I want to try, but I rarely have a specific project in mind. But right now, I’m thinking spoons and socks. Yep.

It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
