It was a nice suprise to wake up last day of 2009

and find id made the etsy storque

and that the treasury i made (get through)

made it to front page!

i always love putting them together

and most always i put a message inside

like tiny criptic ways

of putting thoughts in my head

out into the world

or in this case... etsy ;)

hehe

some of you know this

ive seen you comment on them

or message me in such a way

its nice

and this year i am greatful for etsy

seems silly to be thankful for an online site

but it has brought me to know people i like

and to be able to give to others

in a way

pieces of me :)

....

i am greatful for so much this past year

my children and family

for love

for grace and compassionate people

i am thankful for patience

and wish i had more ;)

just so much really..

this past year i was able to travel a bit

and im SO greatful for that

so many adventures

i cant wait to see what is brought my way

in this new year!!

so Christmas this year was nice..

my oldest two came in about 7 am

to inform me that our presents had arrived

and stockings filled!

i stumbled out of bed and we all came out to the living room

giggles of excitement followed

as they eyed all the goods once again

we opened stockings

baby was not so amused with unwrapping gifts

even the shiny bows didnt seem to amuse her

instead she sat on her presents and watched us

haha

Then it was time for the gifts under the tree!

there wasnt tons

but i was very happy this year that my oldest two

were able to pick out gifts themselves for everyone in the family

i want them to see the enjoyment of giving to others

and they did!!

they were so excited to have us open the handmade bits

and things they picked out from the store!

we oohed and ahhhhed at all the goodness :)

christmas eve

we pile the kids up and go to my fathers house for the day

everyone was excited to see one another

my little bros and sisters

all waiting to play with our children

My oldest brother is a bit too old to play

so he hangs out with us!!

good times

we shoot some pool

play some xbox

joke around and snack

then my uncle and cousin show up right before dinner!

this year instead of regular dining table

my dad had bought 3 tables and set up the dining room

to look like a lovely restaurant

my sisters had set up a menu

and we sat down to these lovely tables

while they took our order

soup , salad, bread

then a main coarse of lasagna

and or mostaccioli

they also were our servers!!

yay for good service ;)

after we finished there was a bunch of

desert to choose from

of coarse we wanted to try a few ;)

hehe

after dinner we opened gifts

and got to talk a bit to my cousin and his new girlfriend

she was back from spain

and had some lovely stories to tell

it was sweet to watch them so in love

all huggy and kissy

We had lots of fun

then packed the kids up and headed for home!

its been snowing all day...

the light coming in from outside is beautiful and im craving hot chocolate.

I love days like this....
days you want to spend getting snowed in and cuddling with the one you love.

This time of year makes me want to tell everyone i love

just how much

To me its the warmest time of year

makes my insides even more mush than normal

Im excited for Christmas day to come too

i will get to enjoy the children opening up their gifts

i will make a yummy meal

consisting of turkey and mashed potatoes and whatnot

mmmmmmmmmm

makes me hungry just thinking about it

we will have my mother over.

my sister will come with her boyfriend

we will play games

and laugh

and eat way too much

broke

mommy broke her heart today

she said the holder walked away

and all the pieces on the floor

she doesnt want them any more

we handed her a sewing needle

we handed her some thread

we hope that she can mend it

while crying in her bed

she says her body hurts

her tummy full of pain

her eyes so full of sadness

she says she cant explain

she goes about our day

all drained of any cares

then she sits there lifeless

mumbling her prayers

she smiles with her mouth

but her eyes are full of tears

she says shes never known this love

through out all of her years

she says its all her fault

but we dont understand

she says its all her fault

.....

apologie

apologies they must be said

i wasnt thinking clearly

and due to insecurities

ive hurt someone i hold dearly

and all the sorrys in the world

can not take back my wrong

but i will do whatever it takes

to prove my love is strong

MooSHooPork

come on in and get your last minute holiday gifts!
great stocking stuffers and ornaments!

on the plus side ive been up late enough to snag a treasury!

check it out here

love the photo in it with the quote

"never allow someone to be your priority

while allowing yourself to be their option"

its a good quote

i love it and hate it all at once

im all for not being callused to the world

and to people

and yet this quote at the present time is fitting to me

im an option

so do i give of myself? or not

that is the question

the winner is...

*drum roll*

and the winner is.....

went to the aquarium this past week

it was fun

we saw all sorts of fishes and aquatic animals

we watched a lady feed otters

and then played i spy in the aquariums to see if we could find whatever it was we knew was hiding in the tank

the jelly fish were quite neat ;)

i kept trying to get good shots of them

but they are harder than you might think

my tribe

my tribe

i can feel it stir inside me

this thing.

black soot painted on the faces

faces of men and women who came before me

although mostly the men painted their face in my tribe

women occasionally decorated their faces

with dots

so here is mine

MIAMI INDIANS

although id consider myself a "mutt"

hehe

as i child i was registered to the Miami Nation

my grandfather took us to powows

and we learned of our history

though heavily diluted bloodlines run through the tribe

we are held together by customs

songs and tribal government

Waw-Pop-A-Taw

(white as snow)

night sky

(painting by: KiowaWolf)

theres something about fresh night air

that draws me

the clouds illuminated by that big moon

the flash of light

the low rumble

im pulled

thunder like a slow moan

the beat of a drum inside my chest

is it inherited ?

did this come from long before me ?

the breeze hits my skin

hair blows

my eyes look up

and smile

i feel at one with my surroundings

peaceful

deep breaths in

i fill up with passion and drive

exhale....

pushing out any negativity within me

i lay in the grass

wet with dew

i can smell the rain coming

is that odd?

i love that smell

my skin exposed to the night

i feel a cool breeze slide across me

goosebumps

i close my eyes

i am content

i am glad

i am thankful

i was given this

bond

this nature

this earth to take in

and be

• 
  

• 
  

comfy baby ring sling

a little papoose for your little papoose :)

ideas

my mind is always working

is that good?

sometimes

i think that the artist in me is in a state of constant creation

whether that means

coming up with ideas to make

or ideas to make happen

im always in motion

"brain wise"

that is.

insomnia has kicked in

which means im thinking way beyond my everyday

its seeping into my quiet time

what am i thinking

well..

nothing and everything all at once

and one of these days its bound to come out.

to see my newest treasury

click here :)

elements of a fight...

your mine right?

yes im yours

your all mine?

yes ill give you all of me

your just mine?

yes no one else

your gonna let me have you whenever i want?

yes im here for you

your gonna cook for me?

yes whatever you like..i will try for you

your gonna wait for me?

yes ill wait

your gonna come see me?

yes ill get on planes and come see you

what are we gonna do?

i dont know i didnt plan anything

can we do something while im there?

your home all day you figure it out

*sigh*

what!?

nothing i was just hoping we could do something.

your always complaining!

im not complaining, i just want to do something with you.

im tired of this!

im not doing anything

no your pissing me off.. alway complaining

im not saying anything!?

why are you being so mean?

im not mean

your words are hurtful

i dont see how

well they are

sorry but i dont think im being mean

ok

happy now?

what?

youve wasted our time

what!?

you just wasted my night

we can talk im not mad

no im pissed, you wasted my night

but your wasting this time talking about time weve wasted

fuck you

ouch

the obstacle

(photograph: by buttonupvintagedream)

theres a bit of a struggle

to keep it together

when space is pulling it soo far apart

and all that i wanted

is to be forever

but for now i wait to see if it can even start

and its hard for us both

and theres times that we slip

and times that we cling

but we seem to lose grip

and im glad for your hands

for your strength to hold on

when my arms get week

and i think its all gone

and if you can just tell me

that youll always be here

then i can just exhale and relax just a bit....

new listing at
LITTLEPAPOOSE


just in time for upcoming fall!!
custom orders being taken :)

inside this box.. (poetry)

life inside of any box aint easy
when all your love is in another box completely

and everything inside and your body
is yearning
to get out

and then the other box begins
to move around beyond the things
that you can reach or do or see
and all your hopes are lingering

you run and try to grasp on to
the things that you know might work for you
but all it does is move away
and your afraid that you must stay

inside your little box


when your sure of what you want
and then
your told it isnt easy when
you know the hard that lies before you
you dont care you want to ignore it

and all the folks that you cant tell
just sit right by
and wonder well
whats wrong with you
inside your box
the outside looks so nice and soft

and you tumble round
in all the space
the lonely empty tiny place
your love looks back and is disgraced
you sigh
and try and to lift your face


and force a smile
as you watch
it go by
and wonder why
you couldnt reach
or did it even try
to grab you

so grab a pillow
make a spot
to try and land
as you fall round and round
again
i cannot see where this will end
