You have to reformat your design to fit into the watch, but they look really good!

There's no tiling function, so you have to create many designs in different sizes to fit big items like duvets to small items like watches. Even if you create one huge design, it doesn't look right when you shrink it because some of the "good parts" get cut off. I have about 5 sizes for the same design. It's sooo time consuming because I have to move elements within the design around to get it to fit nicely on the items. It's like creating a new design each time. But Society6 has a lot of cool items you can put your designs on, so that's the tradeoff. Stuff that Zazzle doesn't have.</div></div></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;">With Zazzle, they have a tiling function which makes it easier to put your design on most size items without having to recreate your design. They have probably over 100 items, too, so your time is spent putting your design on each item. Their tools aren't that easy, but once you figure it out, you can get your designs up much faster.</p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;">Here's a link to my Society6 shop if you want to see the items I have there: <a href="https://society6.com/kimberlyrobello?sort=random">https://society6.com/kimberlyrobello?sort=random</a></p></blockquote><p></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;">Thanks for visiting!</p></blockquote><p></p><p> </p><p><br /></p><p> </p><br /><p><br /></p>PlanetKimberlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10560415196458735562noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2522391943299994542.post-68426496501742741422020-12-02T16:03:00.001-08:002020-12-02T16:08:02.561-08:00Fabric Design With Fashion Illustration<p>I decided to put my fabric designs into my fashion illustration to see how it would look on a garment.

It has a lot of stuff that is different from Redbubble and Zazzle.<div><br /></div><div>Uploading is not too bad. Maybe it's just my connection or my computer, but I noticed that some items took a long time to upload. When I refreshed the page, that seemed to do the trick and the page loaded pretty quickly. </div><div><br /></div><div>I noticed that if I clicked "Generate Preview" it took a long time and most times the image didn't even pop up. So I didn't even bother clicking that button after a while. I just clicked Save and Enable. You can see a preview of it on the main Upload page anyway. </div><div><br /></div><div>The images of the design on the items look beautiful, BUT in some images it is hard to gauge if the design is centered. It looks centered on the template, but the final item image looks skewed.</div><div><br /></div><div>I had the hardest time with the leggings. It look a long time to load and the image on the template didn't look anything like the final image, so I just did not enable it on some of my items.</div><div><br /></div><div>Once you edit the design on an item, it will ask you if you want the same edit to reflect on other items. It will list the items. When I first uploaded my design, I thought this feature was convenient, but later found that it was not properly centered on those other items. I had to go back to those other items to re-center them. </div><div><br /></div><div>For my last design, I decided not to save the edit onto other designs. It was like going in circles. For example, if I edited the design on a pouch, it would ask me if I wanted the edit to reflect on another item. The other item would be off-center, so I would have to change it. It would ask me if I wanted to save that edit to the pouch, if I clicked Enable to Other Item, the design on the pouch would be off-center. And so on. To avoid all that I just clicked Skip This Step. It might take longer to edit each item, so just be aware of it. Stuff like clothing usually is pretty close, so you can enable it for all of them.</div><div><br /></div><div>The main pet peeve I have about Society6 so far is that I can't resize a repeat pattern on the items. Sometimes the image will be too big on some items. You can resize it, but the edges will be blank. There is no option to repeat the pattern. You also can't change the background color. You can do that in Redbubble and Zazzle, but not Society6.</div><div><br /></div><div>Give yourself at least an hour to upload and edit each item on Society6. </div><div><br /></div><div>For me, uploading on Redbubble has gotten quicker, but when I first started uploading my first design on Redbubble, it took over an hour. </div><div><br /></div><div>Zazzle is the quickest to upload after you get the hang of it. BUT, Zazzle needs to approve all of your designs before you can sell it. For individual items, it takes at least 24 hours. There is a Quick Create function on Zazzle, but the approval time can take a month. So, what I try to do is upload one or two items every other day.</div><div><br /></div><div>Here is a screenshot of a portion of my Society6 shop at present. I only have a handful of designs there since I haven't been with them for very long.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmBA4iB24TFEy9v_sDdFkYd5SBiIe6d13L2Nd1TY5iyEh_QB74sWYHqCQya05oW7fOzf-84wDSgAdj7fZ-9KoTNrUlrWTtNfPUSPUF4X-TtS0j_gM8VLWLGfCoyeG9rBccvPTsW4h6NXko/s1197/Screen+Shot+2020-07-24+at+10.49.45+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1089" data-original-width="1197" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmBA4iB24TFEy9v_sDdFkYd5SBiIe6d13L2Nd1TY5iyEh_QB74sWYHqCQya05oW7fOzf-84wDSgAdj7fZ-9KoTNrUlrWTtNfPUSPUF4X-TtS0j_gM8VLWLGfCoyeG9rBccvPTsW4h6NXko/s320/Screen+Shot+2020-07-24+at+10.49.45+PM.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>I'm very happy with the way the designs look on the products!

I might have posted something similar earlier, but it may be different since I've learned more things along the way.<div><br /></div><div>I have a program called Clip Studio Paint (formerly Manga Studio) that I use to make my comics. Since I already have this and am comfortable with it, I use it to make patterns. It's like PhotoShop, yet cheaper. Sometimes they have deals going on. I think it was around $80 a few years ago. It's a one-time payment, not monthly like PS is. If you already know how to use PS, then you could probably learn to use this program quicker than I did since they're very similar.</div><div><br /></div><div>I create my designs for Spoonflower, so I keep these dimensions written on a digital sticky note on my computer to refer to:</div><div><br /></div><div><p class="p1" style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">SPOONFLOWER uploads at 150 dpi:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">1200 x 1200 px = 4” x 4” canvas at 300dpi.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">It prints a <span class="s1" style="text-decoration-line: underline;">8” x 8” fabric swatch</span>.

Sometimes I draw directly in CSP, but most times I draw on paper first. If I draw on paper, I'll take a picture of it with my phone and text it to myself. I import the drawing into CSP, then draw over the image digitally. Recently, I've painted watercolor flowers for my designs.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjkuzgYEzdzeg4vWU5HAehyphenhyphenQk4A-UtmpADIPZFXJ_eahBckYhTQbHnzhUVdB8cPCJCTwt9HgbwwBuWQlgsCrEqqB3v0Jatn5-Wr3KSBQGmUpFZGu1WYNB_QNaRUJ9R6FPBKDtczc2KByaZ/s640/102438514_1460921607444668_8846660851588669889_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjkuzgYEzdzeg4vWU5HAehyphenhyphenQk4A-UtmpADIPZFXJ_eahBckYhTQbHnzhUVdB8cPCJCTwt9HgbwwBuWQlgsCrEqqB3v0Jatn5-Wr3KSBQGmUpFZGu1WYNB_QNaRUJ9R6FPBKDtczc2KByaZ/s320/102438514_1460921607444668_8846660851588669889_n.jpg" /></a></div><div>Each drawing is done separately (usually in a 3"x3" square) because I will be rearranging them in Sketch.

I use these bigger dimensions for Spoonflower so that I can use it for wallpaper if I want to.

The flowers to the right of that square are the PNG images I created and dragged in from the desktop. I arranged the images the way I wanted. </div><div><br /></div><div>For the images on the borders to repeat seamlessly, this is what I do:</div><div><br /></div><div>Copy the image overlapping the border. </div><div>Right click over the image. </div><div>Select Paste Over. </div><div>For any image on the left or right border, click in the X (X-axis) box in the upper right corner of the screen in Sketch. </div><div>*Do not alter the numbers that are already in the box.* </div><div>Click to the right of the number. </div><div><br /></div><div>If I want to continue the image from the left border to the right border, I would type in +1800 in the X-axis box next to the existing number. </div><div>Hit Enter. </div><div><br /></div><div>The image will be pasted seamlessly on the right border.</div><div>If I want the image on the right border to be pasted seamlessly on the left border, I would type in -1800 in the X-axis box.</div><div>Remember, my square is 1800px x 1800px. That's the number I'm typing in the box. If your square has another dimension, you would type that number in the X-axis box.</div><div><br /></div><div>For the images on the top and bottom borders, you would do the same thing, but type your numbers in the Y (Y-axis) box.</div><div>Copying and pasting a border image from the top to the bottom, you would type in a + before the number. In my case, I would type in +1800.</div><div>Copying and pasting a border image from the bottom to the top, you would type in a - before the number.</div><div><br /></div><div>Don't forget to put in a background color after you're done arranging your images. To do this, go up to the Shape icon at the top of the screen. Select Rectangle. Drag it over your square until it is completely covered. Your images will be underneath it, so you will have to click on the word "Rectangle" on the left of your screen and drag the word to be placed under the names of all your images. While Rectangle is still highlighted, look on the right side of your screen under Fills and choose Color. Select your preferred color.</div><div><br /></div><div>To test your image to see if it is repeatable, you need to first export that square Artboard as a PNG. </div><div>Create another Artboard beneath your square. See my image above. The large rectangle is my "test" Artboard. It doesn't have to be a specific size. </div><div><br /></div><div>Create a Rectangle over it from the Shape icon at the top of your screen. </div><div>While that rectangle is highlighted/activated, click on Image under Fills on the right side of your screen. </div><div>Click on the icon that looks like a mountain with a circle. </div><div>Below that, under Type, click on the drop down menu and choose Tile Image. </div><div>In the small rectangle just above the words "Tile Image" is where you will drag your PNG that you just exported. Your image should appear in the large rectangle Artboard. </div><div>Beneath the words "Tile Image" is the Size adjuster bar where you can change the size of the repeatable pattern to see how it looks. Zoom in on the repeated pattern until you see the very thin white border lines. Make sure the images are repeating perfectly along those border lines. Make corrections in your original small square, export the PNG and test it again.</div><div><br /></div><div>It sounds like a lot, but after you get the hang of it, it goes faster and is pretty easy. I don't have PhotoShop and Illustrator, so I don't know if it's faster, slower, or the same as using those programs. </div><div><br /></div><div>Clip Studio Paint does not allow you to change the X and Y axis numbers, so that's why I have to use Sketch to do that. You can't draw in Sketch, so I use CSP for that.</div><div><br /></div><div>You can test your repeatable pattern in CSP, but I rarely do that. I don't remember why I would do that in CSP, but if I remember, I will post about it.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>SPOONFLOWER</b>: <a href="https://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/planet_kimberly">https://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/planet_kimberly</a></div><div><br /></div><div>My <b>REDBUBBLE</b> shop: <span style="background-color: white; color: #40354e; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre;"><a href="https://www.redbubble.com/people/PlanetKimberly/shop?asc=u">https://www.redbubble.com/people/PlanetKimberly/shop?asc=u</a></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #40354e; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></div><div><font color="#40354e"><span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre;">You can also follow me on Instagram if you like: @kimberob4</span></font></div><div><font color="#40354e"><span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></font></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #40354e; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre;">Have fun!</span></div>PlanetKimberlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10560415196458735562noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2522391943299994542.post-74410383851333754292020-07-14T15:36:00.001-07:002020-07-14T15:36:45.625-07:00Where my Smallkeedtime and Planet Kimberly blogs are goingWhen I originally started my Smallkeedtime blog, it was just to post my artwork. I started participating in Illustration Friday, so I mainly posted illustrations for that. <div><br /></div><div>I started novel and short story writing and thus created this Planet Kimberly blog for writing. After writing a novel, a middle grade book, and a kids book, I discovered that to marry my loves for writing and art, it would be best to create comics and graphic novels. </div><div><br /></div><div>Years down the line, I have a webcomic called Smallkeedtime Hawaii taken from the name of my other blog. I also create designs for fabric, shirts, and other products at my shops on Redbubble and Zazzle called Planet Kimberly.</div><div><br /></div><div>So, I decided to separate the topics on these blogs. From here on out, I am going to post comic related stuff on my Smallkeedtime blog, design related stuff on this blog.</div><div><br /></div><div>This may seem like an obvious choice to other people, but I haven't thought much about these blogs in years since I have been juggling all these things. It will take some time for me to dedicate changing the design/layout format of these blogs, but as far as posting, that will happen right away.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks for sticking with me!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>PlanetKimberlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10560415196458735562noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2522391943299994542.post-85094960727286580272020-06-18T19:45:00.001-07:002020-06-18T19:46:15.020-07:00Watercolor Skull DesignsSo, I painted some skull designs in watercolor and put them up on Redbubble and Zazzle under my Planet Kimberly shop name. They came out pretty cool looking! Here are a few samples of them. <div><br /></div><div>Sorry, they are not clickable. They are screen shots from my shop. </div><div><br /></div><div>The A-line dress is a slightly different version of what is up in the shop. <div><br /></div><div>If you're interested in seeing what else is available in these designs, here's my shop link to Redbubble. </div><div> <a href="https://www.redbubble.com/people/PlanetKimberly/shop?asc=u" style="font-size: 12px;">https://www.redbubble.com/people/PlanetKimberly/shop?asc=u</a></div><div><br /></div><div>Just click on the image in the link and when it takes you to the item, there should be a link in words just below the pictures that says "View this design on +76 items."

I did some research on both types of shops and did not like the idea of drop shipping, so I went with the sites I just mentioned.<br /><br /><br />With drop shipping, the customer pays you, then you pay the company that makes and sends out the item with your design, then they send it to the customer. It just seems like more of a hassle that I want to go through right now even though you can make more money with drop shipping. I just want to focus on designing and creating comics. It's possible that I might change my mind later, but for now I'll leave the drop shipping alone.<span style="background-color: white; color: #40354e; font-family: Montserrat, -apple-system, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre;"><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #40354e; font-family: Montserrat, -apple-system, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #40354e; font-family: Montserrat, -apple-system, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #40354e; font-family: Montserrat, -apple-system, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipqsmrL05MeFTw2f5HaBdNete2pKVu3qk58IIooNQ_wGr8fwfgr-l161cQv8kagNM2JyUul08HBFKjMS37i5jPa1oalwceA2Gypur2sAZqLKiHUmsdr47adrrkViPmd5NlczIK063qj6-j/s304/Screen+Shot+2020-06-12+at+11.31.05+AM.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="225" data-original-width="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipqsmrL05MeFTw2f5HaBdNete2pKVu3qk58IIooNQ_wGr8fwfgr-l161cQv8kagNM2JyUul08HBFKjMS37i5jPa1oalwceA2Gypur2sAZqLKiHUmsdr47adrrkViPmd5NlczIK063qj6-j/" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT4U3uAMzXMBkU1gGCavNvG1J8o1WaULMDpOGbXcXkc8zi7LaAwh5_A44X1yvUXFgqWe0YJd4Taf88pLik0nvb5ktrcAXjmjFUM68GWliROKoQVnoU0ETR9kAU8yQfhSIUHSxVFVko-pFx/s322/Screen+Shot+2020-06-12+at+11.31.40+AM.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="322" data-original-width="242" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT4U3uAMzXMBkU1gGCavNvG1J8o1WaULMDpOGbXcXkc8zi7LaAwh5_A44X1yvUXFgqWe0YJd4Taf88pLik0nvb5ktrcAXjmjFUM68GWliROKoQVnoU0ETR9kAU8yQfhSIUHSxVFVko-pFx/s320/Screen+Shot+2020-06-12+at+11.31.40+AM.png" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPTGYOElJHax1xFMbpcwyhKMxgwXAzGz7i8sprXhXSSCWgWtVfrSbL7gwNbb3hZ-9fNkP6QnSiXGREf6G2xdCRquetoqPVF3lJcrMmbINsR-VNbeHDT9kDjNLn20cIKH7sWcD0uiYD459Q/s281/Screen+Shot+2020-06-12+at+11.32.45+AM.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="235" data-original-width="281" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPTGYOElJHax1xFMbpcwyhKMxgwXAzGz7i8sprXhXSSCWgWtVfrSbL7gwNbb3hZ-9fNkP6QnSiXGREf6G2xdCRquetoqPVF3lJcrMmbINsR-VNbeHDT9kDjNLn20cIKH7sWcD0uiYD459Q/" /></a></div><br /></span>PlanetKimberlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10560415196458735562noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2522391943299994542.post-28154814412361455682020-05-29T19:41:00.001-07:002020-06-12T12:48:04.624-07:00Spoonflower and RedbubbleIt has been one year since my last post, almost to the day. Here's an update.<div><br /></div><div>I've been working back and forth on my Spoonflower fabric designs and my webcomics on Tapas. I have almost 40 new designs that should be ready to sell on Spoonflower by the end of summer 2020. I'm very excited about these designs because they are cute and I have more cryptid designs I hope you will like!</div><div><br /></div><div>My comics are getting better as I keep working on them. I'm anxious to get back to them. Right now I'm putting my time into designing. I have about 7 more designs to finish for Spoonflower before I can get back to my comics.</div><div><br /></div><div>I just started a Redbubble shop which has about 10 designs right now. Designing is so much fun! I haven't gotten any sales yet on Redbubble. I'm hoping it's only because my shop is still new.</div><div><br /></div><div>The Redbubble site is not user friendly at all. I typed my name in the search, but only one design pops up. I typed my shop name in the search and nothing of mine comes up. I'm hoping that more of my designs pop up in the search after I have a lot of them on the site. I've been using Redbubble for about a month and am still figuring things out.</div><div><br /></div><div>If you are a first-time user of Redbubble, you have to enable items like kids clothes, leggings, and masks or else they won't be available in your shop. The kids clothes are the trickiest. There is a square button to add them when you hit Edit under the first shirt in the shop.</div><div><br /></div><div>As for Spoonflower, I've been getting a few sales which is exciting! I noticed that people like my Bigfoot design the best, so I created several more very cute ones. I discovered that the number of people that like aliens is more than double that of Bigfoot lovers. I love aliens, too! So, I created some cute alien designs for Spoonflower and Redbubble.</div><div><br /></div><div>Designs are ready for purchase a lot quicker on Redbubble than Spoonflower. On Spoonflower, you have to buy a sample of your designs to proof before you can sell them. Buying a yard full of 40 designs is the cheapest, so you have to design 40 at-a-time to be the most economical. </div><div><br /></div><div>Uploading and resizing your designs on more than 50 items on Redbubble can take more than an hour the first couple of times you do it. I discovered that you can change the background color for all of the items by changing the Hex color under the upload square. This can save you a lot of time if you want your background to be one color for most or all of the items.</div><div><br /></div><div>On another note, this month is my one year anniversary of playing the ukulele! It has been a fun year practicing new songs and techniques! My singing has gotten better, too! I have about 100 songs I like to play in my notebook that I put together. I've watched online ukulele festivals (due to the pandemic) at <a href="http://www.cheemaisel.com/">http://www.cheemaisel.com/</a> and went to the Los Angeles Ukulele Festival in September 2019.</div><div><br /></div><div>My mother-in-law gave us 5 of her ukuleles. My son and I have about 12 between us. We now have our favorites. I have an appreciation of the Beatles and older songs that I've discovered through playing the ukulele. George Harrison loved playing the ukulele! I hadn't known that before!</div><div><br /></div><div>I hope to update again soon! </div><div><br /></div><div>Here are some designs from my Redbubble shop:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt-IVScEZ4QiA3sKqFtsrjscmdP12lYgtIo4_Ktd3WZG8GmdBwIznSsSsgMDtQTzsZxuzzwHZR470KMQL2LSg0LPoD0VKpd8XU-KwXu88hA0cXM8Tg1ZYj-NO0Apn8NAZzZLR2rt6Kgwrb/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="303" data-original-width="167" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt-IVScEZ4QiA3sKqFtsrjscmdP12lYgtIo4_Ktd3WZG8GmdBwIznSsSsgMDtQTzsZxuzzwHZR470KMQL2LSg0LPoD0VKpd8XU-KwXu88hA0cXM8Tg1ZYj-NO0Apn8NAZzZLR2rt6Kgwrb/" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWSXpt1gekLW_KMD40wjxiqkaQN27TpwnmOSI1BTPkUxgu8SMbJwu1btB2BmWrKGVidTj5T3DmS9uUbjuKvPzIqDHLWmDFdKwd5nHbxWqdKlKCRw8jc2sARiQH91nfGu6I1-1Z1pjjfmf7/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="325" data-original-width="354" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWSXpt1gekLW_KMD40wjxiqkaQN27TpwnmOSI1BTPkUxgu8SMbJwu1btB2BmWrKGVidTj5T3DmS9uUbjuKvPzIqDHLWmDFdKwd5nHbxWqdKlKCRw8jc2sARiQH91nfGu6I1-1Z1pjjfmf7/s320/Screen+Shot+2020-05-28+at+12.09.14+AM.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIaVLGzMJWB7gYwVXFX80-KSRN4mSE4AofISUwYlK-c5UHduukA2YZrfLUA6QkHUTCRIo1PWpvzwXFLFrHNeIMHiKFQdvsm_EbcC2JffKQW-_jzQg7PlXr6iqB1hZAJw-6-z24zRZPU4wv/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="255" data-original-width="184" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIaVLGzMJWB7gYwVXFX80-KSRN4mSE4AofISUwYlK-c5UHduukA2YZrfLUA6QkHUTCRIo1PWpvzwXFLFrHNeIMHiKFQdvsm_EbcC2JffKQW-_jzQg7PlXr6iqB1hZAJw-6-z24zRZPU4wv/" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /><div><br /></div></div>PlanetKimberlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10560415196458735562noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2522391943299994542.post-30929592680257360922019-05-24T16:41:00.000-07:002019-05-24T16:41:03.005-07:00Surface Pattern Design and Ukulele<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I know it has been several months since I posted here. I am still working on my Smallkeedtime Hawaii webcomic, but it is up on Tapas now. I have 2 webcomics. The second one is a hand-drawn one called Diary of a Tiny Asian Mom.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(78, 40, 0); color: #4e2800; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Smallkeedtime Hawaii: https://tapas.io/episode/1239684</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(78, 40, 0); color: #4e2800; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="caret-color: rgb(78, 40, 0); color: #4e2800; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(78, 40, 0); color: #4e2800; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Diary of a Tiny Asian Mom: https://tapas.io/episode/1354687</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(78, 40, 0); color: #4e2800; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span>
<br />
I also started designing patterns for fabric which will be up on Spoonflower in a little over a week. I guess they call it Surface Pattern Design. I will eventually expand to selling the designs on other sites, but right now it will be exclusively on Spoonflower.<br />
<br />
My cousin, Janet Furutani, makes quilts and sells them on Amazon Marketplace. I got some advice from her and apparently a lot of people make quilts and sell them. So, my designs are made for the quilter in mind, but can also be made into children's clothing. Some can also be made for adults.<br />
<br />
I am not sending the fabric out to customers myself. Spoonflower does the printing and the shipping. They also have wallpaper and gift wrap.<br />
<br />
My plan is to post the fabric designs on this blog with a drawing of what it could look like as sewn clothing. Hopefully, I will have time to do that!<br />
<br />
On another note (no pun intended) my son and I are learning how to play the ukulele. It is so fun! I guess there is a resurgence in interest for it which I didn't know until I started looking into it online. We went to a Hawaiian festival 2 weekends ago and were excited to see the ukulele booth. I bought a chord chart and my son bought a capo. I had no idea what that was!<br />
<br />
There is another Hawaiian festival coming up next weekend which I'm excited to go to because I want to get a ukulele strap. I made one out of a ribbon I had from a bouquet of flowers. It changes the sound coming out of the ukulele, so I'm just going to get a strap. I had one in my hand at the other festival, but put it back. I should have listened to my inner voice telling me to just buy the strap. There will be performers there, too which I'm looking forward to seeing as well.<br />
<br />
I typed in "ukulele" on Instagram and saw a lot of videos of people playing ukulele and they had AMAZING voices! And how are they playing will long polished nails?! I'm clipping mine down as far as they can go so I can press down on the strings without the nail getting in the way. Geez.<br />
<br />
The Los Angeles International Ukulele Festival is coming up in a few months. I would like to go and be able to play a few songs with the other people in the workshops there. Looks like fun!<br />

I'm back from a long absence. I was working on a comic for a contest, but I had to drop out of the contest because of some major life hiccups. I'm still working on my comic, but not at the pace I was going before. I have 5 episodes up so far. Here's the link on Line Webtoon if you're interested: <a href="https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/smallkeedtime-hawaii/list?title_no=193686">https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/smallkeedtime-hawaii/list?title_no=193686</a><br />
<br />
On another note, it's time for Inktober! These drawings are for the first 3 days. I heard about Girltober yesterday and noticed that other people posted inspiring women. I decided to participate today, so I drew the woman who inspired me to make comics, Lynda Barry! Her comics are funny and moving. You may not think the drawings are very pretty, but I love their charm and I love the characters. She is good friends with The Simpsons creator, Matt Groening. They went to college together and you can see the influence each has on the other as far as drawing style.<br />
<br />
This has been kind of a crummy year so far, but it's supposed to rain today which I am looking forward to. We need that rain!<br />

Akon was born in St. Louis, Missouri, but his family comes from Senegal, West Africa. He had a hit dance song in India called Chammak Challo. It's in English and Hindi. Below are two videos. One is the "making of" video. He did a good job! The other is the music video with Bollywood dancers. If my knee wasn't messed up, I would be dancing to this song right now.<br />

My family is from Hawaii, so I have to include this song by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole aka Bruddah IZ. Over the Rainbow. I hear it everywhere now, commercials, TV, movies, etc. He used to have concerts in town in an intimate arena where he was in a concert theatre close to the audience, but I never went to them. My parents used to go see him because he was my dad's favorite. One of my regrets is never going to see him because I was in college and "too busy." I should've made time because he's gone now.<br />
<br />
When my son graduated last week, they played this song after the ceremony. My husband and I cried because we took it as a sign that my dad was there in spirit. He passed away when my son was 6 and my son looks like him. My cousin from Hawaii was with us. As soon as we heard, "Okay, this one's for Kevin" the three of us immediately turned our heads because we recognized the song before any of the notes were hit. It was funny.<br />
<br />
My dad was depressed when he was dying, but I brought the CD player over next to his bed and played IZ's songs. It made him feel better.<br />
<br />
He missed Hawaii and the people he knew there. I didn't realize how much he missed them until recently. On Facebook last month, I met his cousins who lived across the street from him when he was a kid. One of them told me they had a big get-together with their classmates which they do every year. She said my dad had called and talked to about a dozen of them. They were all surprised and happy he called. I guess he called to say goodbye because he was dying at the time. He used to be a handsome, popular guy when he was a kid and always the life of the party. Sometimes he would joke about all the girlfriends he had. He was also a troublemaker, a colorful character, so I created a character in one of my comics based on him. I'm hoping to gather more funny stories about him so I can put them in my comics.<br />

This week I'm celebrating the launch of my short webcomic called Latchkey Kids! You can read it for free on Line Webtoon in the Discover + Comedy section. </div>

I'll be posting the second episode next week. I chose simple characters so that I could draw them faster. Once I get used to the entire process of comic making from laying the pages out, inking, digital coloring, converting to the Webtoon format, and uploading each panel into Webtoon, I would like to draw more detailed panels.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm also celebrating a new comic contest. It's just what I need to light the fire under my butt to get me moving on my comics. I probably wouldn't have launched my comic today if I hadn't found out about the contest yesterday. I needed to launch it before I post the comics for the contest because the same characters are in it. It wouldn't make sense to post that comic in the middle of my longer graphic novel type of comic. It's either at the beginning or end. I was already done with the inking and coloring. I just needed to arrange and convert the panels in the proper format. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Friday was the first day off from school for my kids, so we watched our first daily summer movie together. I wanted to show them Real Genius, but it wasn't available so we watched Liar, Liar with Jim Carrey instead. I'm going to try to watch a movie with them every weekday this summer. That may not happen with this contest, though. I'll have to see if I can swing it. The movies I have planned for the coming weeks are Big, The Day After Tomorrow, Groundhog Day, Heaven Can Wait, Father of the Bride, Dirty Dancing, Race To Witch Mountain, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, The Last Action Hero, Selena, A Wrinkle in Time, Castaway, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Chronicles of Narnia, Ender's Game, Say Anything, and a few new movies.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Due to this contest, I may not be posting much until September unless I decide not to do it or I can't keep up.</div>

I was listening to a podcast this morning when I heard someone say, "A good friend will help you move. A real friend will help you move a body." I laughed out loud. That is the funniest thing I think I will hear all day today.<br />
<br />
I'm still working on designs for my characters (see below). I think I'm just having self-doubts and am stalling on putting my webcomic out to the world. Once I start posting them, I have to keep going or else I won't meet my deadline for posting every week. I won't have time to make design changes. Aaaagh! *biting nails* <br />

How do they draw so fast?! And they're younger than me! I've gotta get movin'! I think their style is do-able for me. I see where they made shortcuts to get some of the drawings done quicker. I hope these tricks sink into my brain while I'm drawing my panels.<br />
<br />
I'm so nervous! Maybe it's the coffee I drank. I can launch my comic today if I wanted to. My kids are coming home early, though. Stalling...</div>

I have been thrown off schedule completely this week. Since Monday was a holiday, I thought Tuesday was Monday and then my son graduated from middle school yesterday. My husband took off from work for the graduation and then we took our second son out of school an hour early to have a celebratory lunch. That made me think it was the weekend. So now it's Thursday which is the last day of school for my kids, not Friday. The logic part of my brain is saying it's not the weekend yet, but the other side is telling me it has been the weekend all week.<br />
<br />
Anyway, that's my excuse for being late on these posts. lol Kinda lame, sorry.<br />
<br />
My very good friend from college is working on a comic like I am. Throughout college, we seemed to be very in tune with each other. Sometimes I would know he was going to call seconds before the phone rang. We still keep in touch. The other day, on Instagram he posted a drawing of Spanky that he drew from a picture of The Little Rascals. I was floored because two days prior to his posting, I was going to draw the same picture! I didn't draw it because I didn't have time, but I still had the internet page open on my phone. This is the picture (Spanky is the boy on the far left):<br />

Out of all the pictures of The Little Rascals on the internet, that picture appealed to both of us around the same time without us telling each other about it. We didn't even mention The Little Rascals to each other. Plus, out of the millions of pictures on the internet, we chose The Little Rascals. Weird, huh?<br />

This is one of my favorite songs from a band that many people don't know about or have forgotten.<br />
<br />
The Cult of Personality by Living Colour. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I never get tired of The Devil Went Down to Georgia by The Charlie Daniels Band and I play it for my kids once in a while. They like it, too and they like the story.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Here's another song I never get tired of. Dragostea Din Tei otherwise known as the Numa Numa Dance made popular worldwide by Gary Brolsma who videotaped himself lipsyncing to the song and sending it to his friend who put it on the internet. This Romanian band is called Ozone.<br />
<br />

<br />
This is the cutest animated short about love that I've ever seen. It's in French with English subtitles. A Quoi Ça Sert L'Amour by Edith Piaf and Theo Sarapo. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I like the original version of Electric Feel by MGMT, but Preston Pohl sang an amazing version on The Voice! Whooo! Smokin'!<br />
<br />

<br />
This is a local Los Angeles band that they've been playing on the radio called Gamblers Mark. I believe their style is rockabilly. I've heard them sing songs by the Stray Cats. If you like rockabilly, you might like them. Check 'em out...<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Yesterday I painted backgrounds for my future drawings in my sketchbook. I was looking at www.creativebug.com and was inspired by Pam Garrison's creative sketchbooking intro video. There are hundreds of classes you can take on the Creative Bug site.<br />
<br />
https://www.creativebug.com/classseries/creative-sketchbooking/creative-sketchbooking-playing-with-pens-and-paint-part-1<br />
<br />
A couple of years ago I decided to add color to my drawing pages. I got a lot of great sketch pages from that. Pam's videos reminded me that I used to do that because her journals are filled with color.<br />
<br />
So, yesterday I painted a bunch of pages in a sketchbook that I made a few years ago. I made this sketchbook out of fabric from Joann's Fabrics and learned to make the sketchbook from YouTube videos. I stitched the pages together and used cheap watercolor paper from Michael's.<br />
<br />
I intended to draw monsters in this sketchbook, but I never got past the first page because I'm not good at coming up with monsters. <br />

This week I finished watching James Patterson and Steve Martin's Masterclasses.<br />
<br />
James Patterson is pretty funny even though he looks so serious. I took a ton of notes. He has a lot of good advice for writers.<br />
<br />
Steve Martin went to my university, but I never really got into his type of humor. However, he showed clips of his movies and they were very funny! I put his movies on my "to watch" list for summer viewing with my kids. He sure knows his stuff! I could tell how much experience he has when he sat with a group of young comedians and critiqued their work. It's similar to writing. You cut out all the irrelevant and lengthy stuff to make your comedic story clearer, stronger, and funnier. That was pretty amazing. The students had funny bits, but Steve made them even funnier. You can see their eyes light up in amazement and respect.<br />
<br />
This week, I was using Siri's voice recognition to text my friend in France. I can switch to a French keyboard on my phone, but it takes forever to type out all the accents and correct my grammar. With Siri, I was able to speak in French and text my friend so much faster! Siri corrects my grammar and puts the accents in for me! Wow! I love Siri! Or if the grammar is off, Siri will underline it or put in different words. Then I know my grammar is wrong. But she isn't always correct. One time I found a big mistake and said, "Siri! You're supposed to correct my grammar!" lol What is humbling is when Siri misunderstands some of my words which tells me my accent is bad. People in France used to think I hardly had an accent and a couple of them thought I was from France. So, I thought my accent was pretty good. I guess Siri doesn't think so. Hahaha! Leave it to Siri to kick me down.<br />
<br />
But Siri can't understand some of my words in English either. For some reason, every time I say "drawing" I get "trying" or "driving" or "drying" when I use voice recognition. So, I have to exaggerate the "w" which makes me sound like a 2-year-old.<br />
<br />
Have you seen the autocorrect fails on the internet? Do a search on it. You will laugh and laugh.<br />
<br />
It's a good thing I usually check my texts before sending them or else I would've been in big trouble with some people because of the autocorrect. A few times it autocorrected my texts into inappropriate words. One time which wasn't as bad was when I meant to type "Are you ready?" and it autocorrected it to "Are you breast?" What?!<br />
<br />
My son went to his first school dinner dance last night. If it wasn't for the food and candy table, he wouldn't have gone. He's shy and didn't want to dance. I made him watch YouTube videos to learn how to dance. He didn't want to do it, but my husband got up to do it with him so he tried it. I think he liked it and my husband had so much fun. It was good father-son time for them. My husband loved it.<br />
<br />
Yesterday, I watched a dance that all the kids are doing these days. I think it's called Swish Swish, popularized by The Backpack Kid featured in one of Katy Perry's concerts. I'm sure you've seen it. It looks funny, but I learned how to do it by watching this video yesterday. My son saw me watching it and thought I wanted him to learn it. He said, "Mom. I. am. not. doing. that." Of course he wouldn't. He would be too embarrassed. It's a silly dance, but I'm going to do it in public one of these days to embarrass my kids. lol My sister-in-law's wedding is coming up... Perfect opportunity.<br />
<br />
So, my son told me last night that he would probably come home early after the dinner and that he would text me. I told him it was rude to eat and run, so he should stay an hour after that at least. A half hour before the event was over, he still had not texted me. That's when I knew he was having fun. I told him to text me pictures. Their dance was at the same place where my husband and I had our wedding reception. It was so weird.<br />
<br />
When I picked my son up from the dance, he was all smiles and carrying a bagful of candy. He didn't even use the dance moves he learned. He said the other kids just jumped around, so he jumped. D'oh!<br />

My son is going to his first dinner dance for his school. He hates doing things like this. He doesn't want to dance, so he's just going for the food. Should be interesting. lol<br />
<br />
My cousin just told me about these African fertility statues that are at Ripley's Believe it or Not. Apparently, there are lot of couples getting pregnant after touching these statues even when they were told they may not be able to have children. If you're having trouble conceiving, I guess it wouldn't hurt to touch these statues. What have you got to lose?<br />

Yesterday, I was reading an article that my husband sent me a week ago. It's about a couple that got lost on a mountain in Palm Springs after taking a cable car to the top. My neighbor just mentioned this cable car to me at the beginning of this month because I was looking for a nice place to go with my husband to celebrate our anniversary which was on May 6. The couple got lost this month 12 years ago and almost died. They got stuck in a gorge and couldn't get out. A man got stuck in the same gorge a year prior and died. They found his journal on May 8. His last entry was on May 8, but a year earlier. What a weird coincidence.<br />
<br />
Now I'm glad my husband didn't want to go on this cable car because I can picture that happening to us. It makes me mad that whoever manages that area didn't take precautions against something like this. The search and rescue didn't even look in that gorge for them! Geez! The couple saw the helicopter, but it left. The cable car operator assumed the couple found another way down. Wow. I wonder how many other people this happened to that they don't tell anyone about.<br />
<br />
The couple wasn't even planning on going hiking. They were just going to walk around for 15 minutes. I hope the trails are marked better now than they were back then.<br />
<br />
The article is called
Lost: How a dead man saved two Dallas hikers<br />

I hope you had a creative day!<br />

Wow, my last post was so somber! Maybe it's best not to post my random thoughts. lol<br />
<br />
To make up for that, I'm going to mention something fun. Have you heard of Vat 19? They sell unique stuff that's pretty cool. They seem to mix foods together to make a unique food item like spicy gummy treats. They have a healthy chip maker, popcorn maker that uses less oil, world's largest gummy worm that is 4,080 calories (lol), and various home decor, toys, clothes, gifts, etc. https://www.vat19.com/<br />
<br />
My son loves to watch their videos. They do food challenges, and test out their spiciest gummy treats. Warning, some of their food challenges are gross, though, but something elementary school kids love to watch. I don't like watching people eat gross stuff. That's one way to get me to leave the room or get angry.<br />
<br />
Here is one you might enjoy, though. They put different things in a fountain and try it with different food. Some of it looks really good! Or looks gross, but turns out to be delicious. They always seem to have fun making these videos.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't know what to write today, but since it's about random thoughts, I'm going to write about what I've heard recently and have been thinking about.<br />
<br />
I was listening to an episode of the Dogman Encounters podcast and a lady was saying that she was going to investigate the Land Between the Lakes which seems very scary to me because dogmen are known to be around there at night. Anyway, she met a guy who wanted to go investigating with her because he wanted to learn more about dogmen. He had been helping a lady who had them around her house. Her husband had died, so she was alone.<br />
<br />
This man went to her house which was in a remote area, looked around, saw something big and hairy in the edge off the woods and shot at it. The next day, he called the lady to see if she was having any problems. She said there was an adult dogman and two young ones in her barn.<br />
<br />
The guy went to her house and into her barn. There was nothing in there, but when he looked through the wood slats he saw a huge bipedal figure with a dog's head staring at him about 8 feet or taller. It turned and walked away with two smaller ones following it.<br />
<br />
He told the lady he could shoot them to get rid of them, but she said she didn't want to stir up any trouble. A week later, he checked on the lady, but found out she had died. The sheriff said she was killed by a pack of dogs. The man also found out that the lady's husband had also died the same way.<br />
<br />
This is not the first time I have heard a story like this and it's so sad that people can't live in their homes in peace. Most people just move when these things are on their property, but sometimes people don't have the funds to move.<br />
<br />
Most people are afraid to talk about it for fear of being ridiculed, so they have to deal with it on their own. Some end up drinking or doing drugs to forget about what they saw and end up losing their jobs and dying. There's a young police officer who ended up that way. It's so sad.<br />
<br />
Hundreds of people go missing in the forests and no one is ever warned. We hear about them on the news for two weeks. After that, the forest service stops searching and keeps it hush hush. Millions of dollars of revenue are at stake after all. Or is the national park service hiding something else? Is there a serial killer high up on their staff?<br />
<br />
Stacey Arras goes missing with many people around watching her. She is hidden by trees near a lake and no one ever sees her again. If she was kidnapped, why won't the park service release their documents on her? David Paulides, an ex-cop, investigates missing people and can't get the documents on her. They told him, "You will never get the files on her." What is so special about her case that they won't release it? I believe a senator or congressman tried to get the files, but was also denied. Wow.<br />
<br />
I feel so sorry for her family. Regardless of how she disappeared, they will never get her back again.<br />

I was going to say it is way too early in the morning to be creative, but it's already noon! I think I need a second cup of coffee. My knee is not healed from two weeks ago, so I really shouldn't be drinking coffee. I think the caffeine makes it worse.<br />
<br />
I did jump lunges and jump squats with weights and then did Zumba the next day. Toward the end of Zumba, my knees were pissed. I foam rolled them out yesterday, but my dogs thought I was playing around, so they were in my face. I don't want my dog, Bumi, to lick me because he licks my other dog's butt. Plus, he always stinks even after a bath.<br />
<br />
I still need a good design for an Asian comic character, so I've been doing studies/copies of Chris Sanders' drawings. Here's one, although she's not really Asian looking. I put my own style into it, so it's not an exact copy. And that ear is way too small! Hahaha!<br />
<br />
Coffee is calling me...<br />

<br />
There are several songs I like that are about Remembering or Forgetting. I couldn't pick just one, so here they are:<br />
<br />
Revelation by The Yellow Jackets. Whitney Houston has a live version of this song as well, but the video is blurry and the sound quality isn't that great.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
These songs, I believe, are about Marilyn Monroe. Elton John's Candle in the Wind you already know, but the other is by a French Canadian singer, Roch Voisine. This song is in English, but was a hit in France back in the day. I love this song! It's called On the Outside. He's easy on the eyes, too. ;o)<br />
<br />

<br />
My dad used to love this song by Doris Day and used to sing it while playing his ukulele when I was a kid. Que Sera Sera.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xZbKHDPPrrc/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xZbKHDPPrrc?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<br />
Another one by Roch Voisine - Souviens-Toi (de moi) - "Remember Me"<br />
Unfortunately, this one is not in English. It's about a guy who is thinking about his summer love and asks her to remember him. It's such a beautiful song!<br />
<br />
I was trying to find an English translation online, but there isn't one and I don't have time to do it, but I'll translate the first few lines for you. <br />

This song was one of my dad's favorite songs that makes me cry every time I hear it. It's about a boy who lost his daddy. My dad's mom died when he was 8, so when I think about that and listen to this song, it chokes me up. It's by a Hawaiian band sung in English. God Bless my Daddy/Mom by Hui O'hana.</div>

<br />
I was wondering if there was a better way to draw my Asian girl characters other than what I have already designed, so I started doodling out different styles. Here's one. Probably not practical to draw quickly, but maybe I can use some of these elements to put into a simpler design.<br />
<br />
I was practicing Chris Sanders's style. He drew Lilo and Stitch. It wasn't quite working for me, so I took some of those elements and made it my own. <br />

<br />
This was a weird week. Several restaurants burned down near my house, the Santa Fe shooting happened which I just found out (the day after), on the same day my kids' school had a lockdown because a kid in a neighboring school brought a gun to school, and there was a royal wedding that I had no clue was going on. Plus, there are two women stealing packages off of porches in my city, one who looks like a guy and dresses like a Mormon.<br />
<br />
This is the second lockdown at my kids' school this school year because of bad characters at the OTHER school. My son is supposed to be going to that other school next year. I'm starting to wonder if I should homeschool them. That school is supposed to be a very good school, too. Oh well. I guess this is the way of our world now. Dangers lurk everywhere. <br />
<br />
I hope you had a creative day!<br />
