Creativity : A Thought

“My best creativity stems from my most painful days. I’m either content and uninspired, or purely miserable and blooming with ideas. It’s a horrible way to live.”

Sunday, October 12, 2014

A crisp day, filled with the aroma of bratwurst, fresh stretched pretzels, men in bright green lederhosen and the clattering of beer mugs meeting together in joyous cheers. It can only mean one thing OKTOBERFEST!!This sunday me an the hubbey decided to join in some of the local festivities and lucky for us this festivity surrounded the celebrations of some great tap beers. We got the chance to enjoy these fresh (and giant) pickles.

Indulged on grease ridden potato ribbons.

Especially me since I am a Potato fanatic after all!

We took a go at the bratwurst and red cabbage as well, all we could say about that was yummmmmm!!

And of course Beer, Beer and more Beer!

Whilst sipping on our fizzy fun we walked craft tents and got to enjoy live music as well as dancing!

Hooray the day was a success now time to settle in and catch the game!! Happy Blogtober!!

DIY: Super Cheap Nature Prints

All natural (cheap) Print making.

Recently I have moved into a new apartment and have been taking part in trying to decorate it on and extremely tight budget.

Fresh out of college and a minimum wage job with loans lingering just over head doesn't leave much room to spend.

So whilst browsing through a couple home good type stores I'm inspired on a daily the inspiration stems directly from moments when I spot a darling piece of decor, life it from the shelves to see the price on the object of desire and think .. What the Fuck ? I could make this myself... for way cheaper.

So this time I finally got around to DIY decor.

I made some print for my bathroom walls and got back into the crafty arty spirit again after months of being on pause.

Step 1: Go out into wilderness (fenced in back yard) and pick foliage

Step 2: After harvesting find paper ( I used water color paper for a more artist print making look), Acrylic paint, and a sponge brush or anything to slab paint on a leave.

Step 3: Create studio space ( living room floor good enough)!

Step: 4 my favorite part ( let mess making commence)

Just some of the many prints I made ! I found to get a better texture you should print the leaves multiple times before reapplying paint to get the one layer of paint to dry a bit.

This one was an accidental print on my pressing paper I loved it but it ripped ! boooo

This is the before of my bathroom wall

And Walah ! From Drab to Fab in pennies!

Now my guest can poop with perfect ambiance! :D

Apple Picking

Haazzaaa! This past weekend was apple picking prime time and of course I was out in the fields sloshing through muddy ground to find some crispy delights.

It has become a tradition with my boyfie's family that every october declares apple picking time. We lace up our super cute booties, (well just me considering I am the only girl in the bunch) and hitch our way up to Warwick to indulge in hard cider, so full I can't move melty sandwiches, grease ridden cider dough nuts, and of course apples.

We also scavenged through the fields of mighty gourds to find the perfect pumpkin to destroy with a soon to be gutting and carving expo.

Lets of course not forget the tradition of brothers harassing eachother on the field (haha oh wait thats everyday)

And of course scintillating modeling while on sight.

Ending the night with more hard cider (of course) and my home made apple pie bites nom nom!!

Happy Autumn Everyone!
