How Not To Hate

How Not To Hate

It can seem so hard not to fall into hatred of Westerners with all that is happening!  The thing to remember is the hate is all they have, there is no good in most of them after hundreds of years of this murdering and stealing, etc…  So, they want to make us this same way…

It can be so easy to read an article and see the comments and think "how I hate them all!" since the disgust is so real…  But the secret is not to let that hate into your heart.  If you think it a moment as you read some idiot comment, there is no shame in that.  But let it go and concentrate on the real!  

Concentrate on the few good ones around!  Remind yourself how hard it must be for them when it is their brothers and sisters and neighbors creating this ugliness!  

Remember the strength of the Indigenous and our unbreakable Spirit!  


Remember nature and it's beauty!

Let these good things into your heart and there will be no room for the hate!

It can be hard but we are stronger then any hate as I read on someone's Instagram!  

take care of yourself and hugs to all who need them!  Not sure who drew all these pics, found them doing a Google search…  none are my own!  

hugs,

Craft room almost ready!

Craft room almost ready!

I am so excited!  It is nearly ready!

I posted a sneak on Instagram and it is nearly there!  the table still needs sorting but now that the horrible beige wall is gone, I feel my creative juices flowing!   Skully can not decide where she wants to watch over me, she felt too alone outside my door so trying her leaning against the shelf...

here we have my Arri lights and 5in1 reflector set, plus broom  :p   I should have opened the window so you could see the liner we put on it so no one can see in…  

These 2 black file cabinets hold assorted materials and stuff.  I traded my big wooden thingy for the other one since I wanted some more color on that wall but didn't want to paint it.   I draped the fabrics on top for added color, they used to be above my computer on that shelf hidden by Hello Kitty below…  

Hello Kitty adds another splash of color in the room for me and hides the boxes and stuff on the shelf so the room looks nicer.  Or at least it will once I finish sorting the stuff on the table.  As you can see, I have a bit to go yet.  The shelf planks are the darker brown ones leaning right next to the shelf and the shorter ones will become 2 backdrops for photography.  The craft table will hold the sewing machine and whichever craft I am currently working on.  

Once I get the shelves up and can display the works in progress and completed ones, I will be so happy.  We plan a photoshoot of the glitter helmet, I am not sure if you can see it in the back against the wall on top.  In front there on top is one that will become a werewolf mask and right underneath it is one that will become an Unangan take on the Samurai helmets…  The crutch by the window is holding the crepe hair that is drying.  We soaked them in water mixed with olive oil overnight then let them air dry.  The crutch we plan to "goth up" that I heard on It's Black Friday's Youtube channel but I forget which video right now.  I love steampunk and goth, in case you have not noticed.  

I have the intro ideas for the videos for the Youtube playlists ready in my mind so once I get that started it should be coming up soon!  I am almost there!!  

My current plans are:

• Decide on color for the remaining walls, leaning towards a matte white to help bounce the lights instead of this beige but also like the idea of maybe a pale pink or blue to match the one wall…  But that can wait since I have the one wall I needed some color on done and my curtains can act as backdrop stand too!   
• 
  
• Hang the shelves and sew a custom hanger for all the hot glue masks I made  :p
• 
  
• film the intro to my Youtube channel explaining the various playlists I plan to create…
• 
  
• film the intros for each individual playlist…  the craft room renovation is one of them…  I dont plan on creating extra channels, at least not until i get a lot of material posted and see if any dont fit…   but I think it is part being indigenous that I like it all rolled together as a whole… all the different parts of my life and times  :p
• 
  
• make a complete armor set to show 
• 
  
• make a complete costume to show 
• 
  
• do a crowdfunding/patreon push once I get some youtube content up to help get equipment and a real studio!  :p  
• 
  
• practice all of them and begin finding others locally who want to be a part of my "crew"…  heheh..

I had this planned ages ago but am getting it together slowly but surely…  Once I begin there won't be a slowing down :p  at least that is the plan…  

I hope everyone is good…  Please remember those at Standing Rock #nodapl !!  They need our continued prayers and good thoughts!

Just keeping it in our thoughts and prayers and good wishes!  Even if you can't be there, like me, you can think of them and wish them well.  


I have no idea how to link a particular post on instagram so am copy/pasting it here.  

If you wonder if it will help, yes it will.  they try to hide behind the rest of America.  We truly need you to stand up and say "I stand with the Indigenous"!!    So many have lost my respect by pretending it is not happening and many surprised me by standing with us!  It is not too late to choose to do what is right!!  

Never loose faith or Hope.  It is kind of scary to watch it happen and wonder why the fed. govt isn't stopping it.  If they do this openly with us, breaking a legally binding "contract" they will do you next!  If not for us, then think whose stuff they will want next…  

Included is the tourism numbers for the states, and others, call at least 2 tomorrow!!  

so many good people wondering how to help and what to do…  keep standing with us, it matters!  hugs and healing vibes to all who need them!!

HAPPENING NOW! #NODAPL CAMP UNDER ATTACK!

Help pass the word, it is happening and we know!  hugs

Song stuck in my head!

Song stuck in my head!

Ever get a song stuck in your head and wonder why…

We got Elegance from that Hello Dolly! movie…  haven't seen it in years but it popped into my head yesterday and would not leave…  :p

Ooops the video was removed because the account was closed…  Yikes, hope that was not because an #indigenous linked to it…  :p  heheh, probably forgot about it or something…  found a pic of the scene though…  I love musicals!

Life is good here, now all I need is a puppy  :p  Getting ready to start the Youtube channel, yeah!  seems like ages I wanted to but then I got the idea to do a mohawk and now growing it out  :p  

The new craft room is almost ready too!  so nice to have a space to create!  

Hope you are staying safe!

Such a good week so far!!

Such a good week so far!!

Ever have one of those weeks were it feels as if everything is finally going your way?  I am setting up our photo studio / movie prop craft room / home office.  I moved in here last week and it has taken me a bit to figure out how I wanted it set up.

I am doing it as "episode 1 of Why you should do it and How" that i created for that doll prank idea…  running out of time though!  sigh!  May have to put it off until next year since I may not be able to get it shipped in time for Halloween…  I will see how it goes..

But it is coming along so nicely and I am happy with it.  It is not quite like I dreamed we would be doing this but I guess it is baby steps to start off with.  It is the garage the old owners converted into a room.  You have seen us doing photoshoots in here before, that room with the white walls.  

That is the corner connecting it to the rest of the house.  You will see more in the video when I get it posted.  The flooring is that laminate pieces instead of wood but it does photograph nicely!  

But I feel like things are finally starting to go right!  Been a long hard road out of H*ll!!  Never give up on yourself or give in!  fight and keep pushing yourself to get out of whatever rut you find yourself in!  You can do it!  

Hope everyone is doing good and has a safe place to be this winter!

Hugs,

First Onesie done, almost!!

First Onesie done, almost!!

Yeah, the first one is done except for the hood and animal markings!  Phew!  lol, it is so bad though, half the time I forgot to turn it inside out so half the stitches show…  ah well, it is meant to be worn in the dark so…  :p

 It is a snake one so I am wondering if something like this would work…

the belly is a golden one and maybe the tongue will be too :p  But prettier eyes somehow…  maybe like they do those cake ones with the little white reflection.  In case you have not noticed, I am addicted to the "  …  " !  Not sure why, but it seems to pop up instead of a period too often!

Once it is completely done then I will post a pic of it.  I am working on some crowns right now too!  One is a mermaid one and the other a flower one.  I am taking pics of the stages but I seem to run out of time too quickly!  

The mermaid one should be very cool!  I hope it comes out like I picture it in my mind!  I just started it though so maybe before Friday I can have them done.  

I was so excited to see support for the #NODAPL by The Vegan Zombie.  I am what I call "turning vegan" like I used to be "turning Vegetarian" because I still ate pepperoni pizzas once in awhile.  Now i use butter sometimes still.  My daughter can't handle the oils of the vegan kinds so we are trying to figure out how to become vegan.  It is hard to love butter and hate how the animals are treated because of my love of it!  

I love this channel, both of the guys are good and show some yummy recipes.  We got their cookbook and tried a few of them even!

We are running out of time for the doll prank but hopefully can get it completed in time!  The idea was to sell it right before Halloween because I am afraid it will "get me" on that day…  

I am making this a shorter one then usual since I plan to pin the next onesie to get it ready and it is already almost 4am here.

Wow, ever have a perfect shopping day?  Not had one before I think, was so nice!  We have been planing a shopping trip for craft and prop stuff we needed and found almost everything we needed yesterday!  

That has not happened before!  usually have to run to dozens of stores to find what you need or resort to getting it online!  But wow, the things we wanted were mostly all in 2 stores!

I got a new sewing machine!  woot, nice!  I plan on making some Onsies for us and got the material yesterday!  I doubt I will film me making it but will probably show them when done.  But I have been wanting some werewolf material and found the perfect one at Joannes Fabric!  I was amazed at it, so pretty!  brown with touches of lighter brown on some tips, so pretty!  I bought the whole roll and might order more if I like it enough as a costume for my movie.  Plus my daughter wanted to use part of it for a nice fake fur stole.  That will be fun to try to make.  We need to buy some satin type material for the lining now but we should be able to figure out how to make it!  

We had tried to find some craft foam the day before and couldn't find what we wanted but yesterday we found it!  nice!  I love making stuff with it, and am getting good at it!  hehe!  

Now all I need is some thick eva foam, a heat gun and maybe a band saw and I am done!  

Ohh, how is every one?  I hope you are well!  It can be hard when reading the news and seeing the politic game being played to feel positive but concentrate on the good!  There are those fighting for good!  Even if all you do is read ones like this and believe in good then it is enough!No matter what, you can be good and live a better life by simply changing your attitude to a more positive one!  Peace and love are not just words, they are much deeper then that.  It seems so crazy that Trump even got this far, like a sick joke being played by a dying regime, but we will get past it all!  Don't let fear make you freeze up, keep doing good things and know it matters and helps!  think of it as nothing more permanent then someone farting nearby.  It does not have to effect your life, be yourself and ignore it as best you can and it will pass…

For writing, I know i said I would post some more but now that I got the stuff to make the Onesies I might get carried away and be off a bit…  I will try though since I know it is what interests most of you!

Being Prepared…

Being Prepared…

I don't mean for the ever ominous "Zombie Apocalypse" but a real emergency, everyone should be prepared.  I have been looking around online for a good place to order from and am going to try this one here:


My Patriot Supply

Until 10/06/2016  so those getting the Alaska PFD might want to invest in some security for you and your family.  $97 is not too much for some peace of mind!  

I plan to save up and get their seed vault too, sounds kind of cool:

Survival Seed Vault  Even if you don't want to grow them yourself, they can be traded!  

Lol, too much is made of the zombie stuff that people forget that real natural disasters happen too!  Better to be prepared!  I am not being paid to say this, just want everyone to take care of themselves and better safe then sorry.  It is a good deal too!  I mean for $100, you might spend that on a pretty new dress and what better then giving your family a bit of piece of mind that you guys will get through a couple days of a natural disaster!!  

just found they have a Youtube channel:

Take care of yourself and each other!

Wish my hair would grow faster…

Wish my hair would grow faster…

I am about ready to start with the youtube channels!  I think the front has grown out enough it does not look quite so goofy  :p  

This is a still from the soulless doll prank we are making.  My hair looks so goofy!  But we needed to get it done before Halloween!  :p  


So much going on in the world!  So proud of the Protectors!  Doing an amazing job!  You know America does not care about anything anymore when they let someone like Trump become a choice for president!  Sitting on the sidelines does not earn you respect from either "side", just so you know!  

I wanted to apologize to The Viet Vegan, I did not mean to seem to be putting her on the spot like that!  My last post was meant to be the conversation starter not end it!!  But that is always the way it goes it seems…


It is very hard for Westerners when confronted with the truth about themselves…  I can imagine it is hard that all the pretending you were doing is recognized as nothing but pretending by everyone else in the world…  They never respond, such a shame!  We should be able to put that behind us and get to the changes that need to happen!  I guess they just can not picture us ruling ourselves and our lands…  too much indoctrination that we "need" them, sigh!!  such a pity!

I guess realizing that when we agree we are all "One People" that does not mean we agree with war crimes…  lol, I guess they wanted us to accept all the ugly and stupid along with the One People beautiful idea…  

There is always hope for them though…  You can see the slow change over time, how more and more are awakening truly and not just faking it to keep things as they are…  We should keep believing they can do it so they get the courage to try to change!  

Ohhhh, so with me…  I am keeping busy!  I have been writing on the novels and fine-tuning other writing and that is going very well.  I am kind of excited about it! I think I might post some of the other legends I have been picturing.  It is really fun for me to be able to share it with everyone!  

On the photography front, that is going well!  I wish I had money for more lenses but that is what every photographer thinks  :p   the creativity is there so the rest is just extras!  

For the movie props and such, I took over the back room, it was once the garage before we bought this place and was converted into a room.  So that is now my crafting area.  Maybe I will show all I have been doing in a youtube one… I do plan on starting that very soon too!  

I am planning to finish the Soulless doll prank videos this weekend too.  I may not get around to creating a soulless doll short (at least with this doll)  I do plan to make one sometime.  It is on the back burner to preparing all the werewolf props though…  I am creating the looks now and hopefully can have the movie costumes ready by spring!  

I am wondering if I can keep the supplies under the $7,000 mark, what many low budget movie budgets are...  If we don't count the camera itself I think we can!  I am currently making some wolf ears so will see how much crepe hair it takes to make it look nice and plan accordingly for ordering some for the costumes.  



I hope to create a few Halloween looks too!  I created face masks for the silent hill nurses but haven't started the nurses dresses yet.  I hope I have time, so much to do!  I love keeping busy, especially when it is following your dream!

Ohhhh, got a "thank you" message from Jason Lanier on the Model Mayhem site!  I sent him one saying he really inspired me to go for it now!  and showed him my Instagram   I can't wait until we have a real studio space and can do more artistic shots!  I don't think mine are boring but they are more common then i would like!  

I think everything is going good even if it is taking me longer then I thought it would.  But it is going and in the right direction so…   :p

Ohh, I plan to sew this coming week.  I don't think I will do it as a tutorial since there are betters ones already on Youtube that I like.  But will show the finished ones I think!  

So sorry it seems like I am never blogging anymore but I am keeping busy!  

hugs,
