my thoughts are trash and this is my dumpster.

today’s project: make rooniverse more sturdy!

I think it came together nicely. It’s also nice to paint again. I feel my mojo sizzling back to the front of my psyche.

bf and I had an adventure day, which included a trip to Cauldron Vintage in Frostburg, MD!

When this store first opened I found what is now my favorite pair of shorts. They’re cutoffs with embroidered flowers. Gorgeous. (Not pictured, old find)

Today’s finds were equally as excellent, I must say. The vest was something I found and fell in love with immediately. My boyfriend found the collared sweatshirt. With pockets.

Caldron Vintage for another win!

I’m here to tell you that it was. Everything that came before is invalid. I’m learning so much that I want to share with you. -Alaska

I have had so much energy this weekend (could it be the vitamin patches? maybe the sunshine? either way, I’ll take it. thank you universe.) so I decided to work on some projects.

The purple panel will eventually get put together, once all of the other panels have been painted, and will be my new pantry! I’m super excited. The color is GORGEOUS! Lightly sanding the panels is my least favorite part of this project.

The metal cabinet was a project I started a while ago, but abandoned. All of the red was done previously. Today, I added the dark purple shelf (only enough purple paint for that one shelf. this is a leftover spray paint and chalkboard paint project). I think I’m gonna get the bottom two shelves wiped down so that I can at least get the shelves done today. I plan to put chalkboard paint on the doors and the outside will be probably metallic silver (that’s what I have most of).

I have been slowly chipping away at household improvement projects. I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, so that can bring some mobility and energy challenges. I’m a rather determined and strong-willed gal though, so with good pacing, I will totally accomplish my home improvement goals. I’ll be Alaska the Tool Gal soon enough!

This is how I originally wrote it. One of those that starts as a poem and then begs to be a song. I posted a fragment of this on tumblr a while back, but here’s the initial piece in its entirety 🤍

I just finished the documentary about Cyndi Lauper (Let the Canary Sing). It was one of the best musical documentaries I’ve ever watched. I laughed, I cried, I felt inspired. She is the definition of letting your freak flag fly and she does it while spreading so much love. In the Time After Time music video, she signs ‘time after time’. She was the first artist to use closed captioning for her music videos. She wanted to reach an audience that no one thought of. And she’s continued to reach so many different audiences her entire career and is still going. She also won a Tony for Kinky Boots and was the first woman to ever win in the category she did. Just watch it, she’s the epitome of cool.

DelFest is almost here! One of my favorite times of year. It’s practically in my backyard! A weekend of music is always what I need.

If you are searching for free festival parking that is close to the festival grounds, send me a DM and I’ll hook yah up!

Happy DelFest, all!

I took a pottery/ceramics class and these are my children that were born during that time.

If my chronic illness would have minded its business, I’d have more, but baby steps are okay. And so is learning how to create comfortably.

I’m so happy with how everything turned out. The class is recurring, so I can totally sign you up for another round when I’m ready.

My heart is full of art, or my heart is fart (funnier).
