New Blog YadaYada

This is just the beginning. I've had blogs before but for purely profit-driven reasons. This one is all for me, and a little for you.

I feel extremely misunderstood in this world, and wonder if it's due to my own personal defects or the degeneration of the world as a whole.

I am an artist studying Gallery Management at Hudson Valley Community College and then Arts Management somewhere else locally and hopefully on to a Master's somewhere NOT local.
I spent the last 19 years of my life raising two children that did not turn out as I planned but I have faith that they will be just fine. I am going to be a grandmother and love my grandchild already but am extremely disappointed that he is coming now and not in a few years. I'm not ready at all so this grandchild will not be getting my best and am resentful of my beloved daughter for that but am working through it.

I am finding myself at 41. I am happily in love with a very patient and long-suffering Ray Noble and we hope to get married after I get at least two of the degrees I am working on.

We live Troy, NY and just moved into a fixer-upper and haven't been out much since because we are fixing-up....

I am very creative and resourceful and environmentally-conscious for the most part so you will see alot of this manifest in my exploits/creations.
I sell stuff all over the place. If you prefer online shopping, I have some things as DrawnNQuartered on Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/shop/DrawnNQuartered

I love paper mache and acrylic paint and aspire to make an awesome rag rug as soon as my hands are able... they are so busy with everything else!
