Little Nuggets of Revenge, A “G” Rated Blog by BA

Little Nuggets of Revenge, A “G” Rated Blog by BA

As I diligently worked on building the Great Wall of B.A. today, I was reminded of, quite possibly, my funniest G-rated story to date, Little Nuggets of Revenge!

A while back, I had a problem with children walking through my herb garden. Every day a lady would come down the street in her minivan, turn around so that her minivan was ready for the direction that lead back to home and parked on the side of the street. That’s if I was lucky! Most of the time, she usually parked in my herb garden. The bus would arrive, the kiddies would hop off, running across the street in glee, jumping over the great wall of B.A and wreaking havoc all over my poor little plants.

The Adult Thing To Do

Now the adult thing to do, would be to have a chat with this woman and I did. I made sure I was out gardening when she came down to park. The obligatory, manufactured, b.s., small chat was made and then I dived in;

Meriwether’s Retreat, an Exceptional Bed & Breakfast.

February 12, 2019

Meriwether’s Retreat Bed & Breakfast is an exceptional stay!

One might be misled by the seemingly sleepy little town of Hohenwald Tn. but if you peel back the cozy, comfortable blanket of rural life, you’re going to get the surprise of your life, as I did! Meriwether’s Retreat Bed & Breakfast could not be more adorable.

I am an artist, living just outside of a stress chamber called, Atlanta, Georgia. A place where the traffic is ridiculously terrifying, people are indifferent or just downright mean. It’s hustle meets bustle and takes a bully beating on one’s soul. After a super busy holiday season and a house remodel, I needed to decompress big time. A friend of mine told me about MERIWETHER’S RETREAT and I decided to go check it out for a long weekend.

WHAT IS SMUDGING?

November 3, 2017

Smudging with B.A.

What Is Smudging? November 3rd, 2017

I remember when I was asking this question! My Smudging practices have gotten a little more detailed than when I first started out but some of you have been asking me “what is smudging and how do you do it?” So, I thought I would share how I began. John always has a New Years Eve gig and is gone so, I began by starting the new year off clearing the house. You can take these steps I used and morph them to your own needs. Best wishes!!!

The Perseverance Rule

December 5, 2014

The Perseverance Rule, Outsider Art is about not giving up!

The perseverance rule is a very valuable rule to learn and follow. I think I have pretty much gone through life outside of a box. As a younger person, I was never really in, with the “IN” crowd. I might of had a brief moment where I fit into a genre in high school but that was mainly due to the music I was listening to. Other than that, I kinda just moved to my own beat… I think. hahaha, There is that memory issue!

The Journey to Outsider Art

Anyway, lately I have noticed that Natural Healing Stones Jewelry is morphing, or more to the point, I am morphing and my box is not budging. I am now not only into Jewelry but am delving into glass fusing, pottery and art. OH MY!

The art thing took me by surprise really. Most of you don’t know this but my first two years in college, I was an art major. The first year was great. My professors were digging what I was putting out and I thought I was the bomb. Those were the ONLY classes I was making A’s and B’s in, I thought I had found my niche.

Then year two came, the year I decided to be politically outspoken. I didn’t much care for an overly liberal comment from a professor and had the gumption to say so. From then on my art work was deemed D/F worthy. WHAT?!?! That is how I discovered, I do art for myself. I decide what I like and don’t like. I realized I didn’t much care for creating to please someone, just so that I could get a good grade. Then I had my accident… hahaha, another blog. Ahhh, the synchronicity of it all.

FIRSTS

November 22, 2014

FIRTSTS a first blog by B.A.

Kinda crazy cool that we can have a last and never run out of firsts. Hmmm, as my coffee takes hold, I do see the flaw in that thinking but I choose to look at the world of firsts and see all of the adventure it holds.

FIRSTS, Blogging.

This is a first for me and starting with the first, I would like to apologize for my grammar! And… I just noticed through the help of apologize and grammar that this thing comes with spell check. Whew. It’s completely insane, that as I get older, these two things are vanishing from my brain cells at an alarming speed.

Anyway, I digress, back to firsts. Blogging, It’s a total first for me. I have been putting it off, thinking that; nobody wants to hear me ramble on and I’m pretty sure it’s damn near impossible to figure out what’s going on inside of my head. However, I seem to get some sort of personal enjoyment out of having my say in things or more to the point, just saying anything. So, here it is, the first BA blog.

Adventurous spirit, filled with the need to create, the stubbornness to do what she pleases (against all kinds of crazy odds) and now has the gumption to be heard.

Holy Flopping Torpedoes, may the force be with you and may you get to experience a first today! <3

P.S I will pledge to hold back on the dot, dot, dot (…) For some insane reason my brain feels the dot dot dot has way more power than a comma.

A first could be that you check out my All Things BA Art Shop!
Have ya done something out of the ordinary? Do ya want to do something out of the ordinary? Go for it, this is your sign to do a FIRST! Drop a line here in the comment or check me out on Facebook to discuss!!!
