Ways to Waste Time

Sometimes when i waste time by doing something bullshit or nonsense i think that people should learn from me how to waste time. Because i am really good at wasting time. But when share that with my friends they also claim themselves best in wasting time! So i think lot of people like to waste time.

 I am sharing some good ways to waste time. I hope they will be helpful for those who like to waste time or want to.

• Attend Boring Classes - I really hate this. For me its a waste of time. Specially if the teacher is boring and forgot to communicate with students.  I can remember the dialogue of John Nash (Russel Crowe) from the movie " A Beautiful Mind " , " Classes will dull your mind, destroy your potential for authentic creativity".
• Wait for a Miracle - Sleep at home and think that a miracle will happen, God will help. Its a complete waste of time. A human being himself / herself is a miracle if he/she works hard.
• Believe or Wait for One Love - One or None ! Trying to convince someone for a long time ??? But no progress? Probably he/she does not deserve you or vice versa. But its your time. Waste it!!!
• Scratch with Hand - When you are scratching any part of your body with hand then you are unable to do other things. So you are wasting time. Try to scratch with your leg to save time. !!!
• Ask for Sympathy - If you are asking for sympathy to people you are wasting time. Actually now a days that's hardly available. Earn it !
• Teach Your Pet : Try to teach Physics to your pet.
• Blog - Write a blog post like this one.

Do you know better ways?

Getting ready for the holidays

Ok, so there are only 49 days left until Christmas!  My friends and family know that I'm kind of a nut about the holidays. My daughter even found me a countdown to Christmas app on my phone so every morning I wake up and see how many days are left.

My husband and I have a morning tradition of sharing Starbucks mochas together.  The other morning he was nice enough to go and get our mochas. When he woke me up, it wasn't just with a mocha, but a mocha in the holiday cups!!  I love the holiday cups, the Christmas music, and spending time at home with my family. What is your favorite part of the holiday season?  Any good ideas about how to keep the stress down and the fun up?  Let us know.

I have two more stores left to stock, then it will be concentrating on keeping my Etsy site full and filling holiday gift orders from the stores.  I posted my first piece of holiday jewelry on my Etsy site yesterday.

Snowman Stamp Charm

I plan to add more jewelry and holiday pieces just about everyday, so make sure to visit often.  Today I'm working on the Photo transfer portion of the design process. I always enjoy this part, because it's a very creative and fun process.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!  Thanks so much for stopping by.

Amber Dusick - Artist of the Week

Amber Dusick is the creative force behind Woodmouse.  Amber creates her wooden toys out of her Los Angeles studio where she lives with her husband and two children.  She uses sustainably harvested domestic woods and beeswax from a local beekeeper to make her colorful toys.  This type of wood is more expensive than "normal" wood, but Amber is very passionate about trees and feels strongly about protecting our forests and the animals within them.

Babywearing Mama Figure

All the wooden toys and figures in her Etsy shop woodmouse are designed, cut, woodburned and sanded by Amber.  The toys are simple, creative and safe for children to play with.  Each figure is sealed with beeswax and organic jojoba oil and all edges are sanded buttery smooth.  The water based paints that Amber uses have been independently third-party tested and are non-toxic.

Autumn Leaf Child Toy Children of Nature Series

Amber adds interesting woodburning details to her toys that make woodmouse products truly unique. She developed this unique style in 2006 because she wanted the toys to look similar to the black ink and watercolor paintings she had created many years ago.

I asked Amber what her favorite part of creating her toys is and she replied, "My favorite part about creating my toys changes on any given day. I love to sketch and come up with new designs. I love to stand at my saw and cut wood as I find it very meditative. I also love to paint them because they really come to life. I also love to photograph them. At each step I say to myself, "Yeah, this is my favorite part" but then I'm onto the next step. "

Her toys are perfect gift ideas for children and adults too.  I love her Nativiy Toy Set with the soft colors and woodburning details. 

Natural Wooden Nativity Toy Set 12 Piece Set

Amber was featured in an Etsy Handmade Portrait Video in December 2008.  Take a few minutes and watch her video to be further inspired by her work and find out more about the behind the scenes life of Amber.  She also has a great blog, Amber Dusick where you can follow Amber and learn about her family and work day to days.

Thank you so much for joining me for the Artist of the Week post. I hope you have a wonderful day! Stacie

Creative and Motivational Sunday

Yesterday before all the Halloween festivities began, my daughter Madison and I spent hours in the jewelry studio creating our Creative Mandalas. As I mentioned in my earlier February 20th post  Madison and I are working on the exercises from the awesome book The Creative Entrepreneur by Lisa Sonora Beam.  This week we had so much fun taking our last four journal entries and creating an artistic Mandala.  The word Mandala is from Sanskrit and is loosely translated as a "magic circle".  Here are some photos of my finished Mandala. 

I loved working on this and have to say it felt very motivating.  I decided to hang it in my studio inside my supply closet door, so each time I open it I can remind myself of my visions and dreams for my business. 

Here is Madison's Mandala.  She talks about two different dreams in hers, one of her business of making and selling her artwork and one of her dream to be a famous singer!

After our creative session, my son and I were off to the bookstore to spend a little quality time together.  I did find another great book Creative Is a Verb: If You're Alive, You're Creative that was recommended by one of my fellow coconuts, Sarah Stevenson.  She was the artist of the week in my October 20th post.  I spent an hour in bed reading this book last night after trick or treating with my daughter and the neighbors.  It was a perfect ending to a wonderful Halloween day.  I hope you and your family had a great day together.  I'll close with the "sweet" picture of my little zombie bride.
