Life is a Whirlwind

My life as of late has been completely mind blowing. Between finals week and my life as a sorority girl has kept me on my toes, being a kitten mom is also something that takes up a surprisingly amount of time. One thing that I have found that calms me down is painting. I am not the best painter, far from it, but it is something that calms down the fast pace of my time.

The above canvas is a work I spent probably way too much time on. Travel and seeing the world is something that truly inspires me. As well as constantly reminding myself that I have only seen such a small part of what the world has to offer. I love having this canvas hanging above my TV and seeing it the second I walk in my room.

I think it also show that you do not need to be a master painter to create a beautiful canvas. At the end of the day it is about what makes you happiest.

With love,

Zoey

First of all thank you guys for your nice words on my last post. I am feeling so much better lately, all of your support was amazing. On a happier not I am right now waiting for my last class of the week. Which is great because it is supposed to just keep getting colder (Right now it is -7, feels like -38). I keep asking myself why I didn't go to college somewhere warmer! As a pre-story to this post you should all know that there is nothing "living" in my room, we don't have plants or fish because me nor my roommate want to deal with keeping something alive. But I love flowers so this happened...

I made us some adorable pom-pom flowers! They are so easy and fun I can hardly stand it. I got a pom pom maker for Christmas and I went a little crazy. I used all of my handspun scraps that didn't get plied and even left overs from projects that I knit over a year ago. Then you just glue them to a stick and TADA! Adorable flowers that I don't have to keep alive.

They really are one of the cutest and easiest things I have made in a really long time. And every time I see them I just perk up a little bit. If you guys want I can post a tutorial on how I made them. They really are a piece of cake! Well I hope you guys are all staying nice and toasty and have a great rest of your week!!!
