Time to go permanently camping???

Sounds like it's time to start preparing for permanent camping... I need supplies, one or more supportive partners, and materials for building a shelter. Maybe a ferro-cement "dome tent"? Cement & chickenwire small house, maybe one room or a main room with wash room, a fireplace/cookstove in the center of the floor, and plenty of futons for sleeping on.

Last night I was thinking of adding a loft to hold a water tank to supply clean water to a kitchen sink, it would be filled by distillation - a boiling tank out side with the condenser pipes feeding up into the house into the fresh water tank. A bigger tank would be needed if a shower room was added than if there was only a single sink.

I need to draw my ideas up, I have a stove/home heater idea also.

What's been happening.

Hi!

We just moved at the beginning of the month, so we were without internets for about 2 weeks. Since then we have also been settling in the new apartment, I've been going to my classes at Kendall, and I just had my second pre-natal checkup friday. :) I'm about 13 weeks along and got to hear the baby's heartbeat. :) yay!

Also, we got some fish this month too. We have a goldfish in a 10 gallon tank (I know, he needs a bigger tank, no flaming please!) and a 15 gallon tank with a Betta and a trio of Guppies. One of the guppies had babies Friday while we were out, so I have no idea how many she had. Most of them were probably eaten by the adult fish, but I did rescue one. The little one is in the bowl the Betta came in, enjoying having the place to himself.

School is going well, tomorrow my classes finish for the summer. I know I'm getting an A in my 2-D design class and I may possibly get an A- in the other. Classes were fun, I loved going to class. I made a deal with my husband that he has until Fall Classes start to quit smoking or I'm allowed to dye my hair blue. Win-Win for me!! Either he quits or I get blue hair, too bad I can't have both.

LK Illustration

I just started a new website for my art and Illustration. It will also have my online portfolio and a blog where I'll be participating in Illustration Friday. The servers seem to get overloaded by connection requests some times, so if it isn't working, try again in a little while.

Please check it out and any comments or feedback is appreciated.

Thanks!

School is going great

The title of the post is linked to my DeviantArt gallery. I have uploaded the artwork I've done for class. Even the pieces that didn't get turned in (because I re-did the piece several times) are posted. Still all A's and I plan to keep it that way!

Any other art students stopping by? Leave a comment!

Almost done with the first week.

Almost done with the first week of school. Going good so far, just a few more assignments to finish by Sunday then start the next unit's work. I like IADT so far. They sent my books right away, got all my financial aid taken care of, I even received my Student ID card yesterday and sent a sketchbook with it.

I'm taking Design Fundamentals and College Success right now.

Art School!

I'll be "going" to Art School online with the International Academy of Design and Technology. Yay!!!  Next classes start the 15th if all my stuff is approved quickly.

*update*

Yup, My classes start on Monday, Feb 15th. They already sent me my books and supplies. I'm really excited and hope they get my GI Bill stuff processed Quickly. I'm already approved for some Pell Grant money which covered my books and maybe the start of classes while they wait on the VA stuff.

Museli Oatmeal

Ran out of oatmeal so I got creative for breakfast this morning. We had some Museli in the cupboard and I mixed it with hot water (like making oatmeal) and added some maple syrup for a bit of extra taste. It was pretty good, but we need to get more oatmeal or maybe some other kind of grain for some whole-grain porridge in the morning.
