diary odagena

national geographic.

The day was remarkable due to sensations I have never felt before. It is when one has complete control over its mind (which you gotta admit it’s something rare) That’s how it happened. I projected my mind to enjoy, enjoy every single aspect of the day. I was surprised to think that maybe people manage do this everyday, resulting in happy people. These happy, confident people you think you see now and then. Nevermind, what I mean is I wasn’t myself. I disliked every thing about the place, people, music, conversations around me yet I loved it all. I loved it because it was all amusingly different. I began to think freely and enjoy all that I hated it. I acquaintance myself to a new me. A ‘me’ that enjoyed all that was around me. Occasionally, I would catch myself in a spontaneous laugh or remark and wonder if I’d cringe later in bed that night for the actions and words I have expressed. But no, the new me loudly said. Enjoy it, fool, free yourself.

My friend is hard to see you, it's easier to leave you alone

Chicken bone.

The smallest things have been driving me completely insane. I'm ashamed to admit that they are incredibly irrelevant yet I can't help but think them. I continue to go out without my glasses resulting in a quite different reality. Trouble is if I wear them, reality is even weirder. Positive side is I actually see when people are smiling at me. Good thing about the week, sunny days and cherry trees.

Egypt and the cacti forest, geometrical shapes.

It's been three weeks of excessive lucid dreaming. I've been writing everything down, what's the use? probably none but, why. For someone with a terrible photographic memory to dream of colourful, perfectly clear panoramic places is at least a little weird.

Eu quero me bordar em você..

A few small bags I have embroidered this week the first two are based on sketches of mine and the latter is after Matisse's beautiful painting "La Danse" . They will soon be available at stefanyalves.bigcartel.com . Embroidering has been one of the few things that has made me calmer this week. Apart from pricking my finger now and then..it is very relaxing and satisfactory.

Parcel Force sucks.

The days are getting better. It has been sunny lately and despite the wind it isn't so cold. Regarding the title, I just had to write down my dissatisfaction with Parcel Force. I had never ever had a good experience with them. Whenever, someone sent me an item through Parcel Force, I'd have complications, maybe I should tell them prior 'Please, don't send me stuff through Parcel Force'. Terrible service.

February 2015.

During winter is easier to dedicate myself to craft as it is not that fun to be out in the cold. Recently, I have been working on a couple of projects. The good things about this week is that I had nice talks with a friend and my creative block vanished. In the other hand, two of my plants are dying (my favourite one too) I wonder if its the cold or lack of light. Every time I get home I find my cat sleeping on my pillow.
