Just rambling on
The days are getting longer, warmer and I couldn't be happier. It may snow this weekend here but with the way the weather has been. it probably won't really accumulate. There were actually tornado warnings today. I am not a fan of tornado season, but I love that it's warming up. With the change in weather and more light, I notice my mood has been alot better. I have also been keeping myself a bit busier with the shoe art so that has been helping.
Loneliness has been kicking my butt, not just for someone in particular but for my friends too. I haven't really seen most of them this winter since I haven't been getting out much. I think I may have to put a more concentrated effort to pulling myself out of hibernation.
I was reading an article the other night that states that 20 to 30 minutes of moderate exercise 3x a week makes a noticeable difference in people who are depressed and help with anxiety. They did a study on people on meds vs people who exercise and those who exercised were less likely to have a relapse. I've been doing more cardio in the recent weeks and I have noticed a change. It could be in combination with the longer days and nicer weather but I've also been a bit calmer too. I've also been drinking chamomile tea before bed which seems to be having a nice calming effect as well.
My birthday is in a couple of weeks. Seems like this year has just been moving so quickly. I didn't go out last year because I was beginning to fall into a bad spell and I don't know that I will get out this year either but really, all I want is a cake from my favorite place. It is seriously like, the most amazing cake ever.
That's all with me, nothing too exciting! I hope everyone else is doing well.

New blog!
So I've decided to start a new blog to go along with my etsy shop. It's will mostly be about shoes and the shoes that I make and a bit more about my life that aren't centered so much around agoraphobia like this blog is. I will still be posting to this blog but I am going to try to do more posting to that one to get it started and would love if you would like to follow me on there too!

Winter melts into Spring.
So it has been warming up here slowly and I couldn't be more relieved. Granted, this winter was not as bad as last winter, I am so tired of the cold and the dark. Days are getting longer and I am having to wear less layers. Which is a plus because I am ready to change from coats to tank tops. Plus, my summer shoes are so much more fun than my winter ones.
I still haven't been getting out a lot. Lately, I haven't been wanting to try much. Sometimes I just don't feel like trying to calm myself down especially when it comes to going out on the weekends. Why spend an hour getting all dolled up to be out for 20 mins and feeling anxious most of the time. Maybe once the warmer weather settles in, I'll be more apt to going out.
I am a bit bummed, Lady Gaga is coming to town this week and my friend offered me a ticket to go with them. I adore Lady Gaga, I think she is fabulous. Her music is fun to dance to and she stands up for what she believes in and her fashion style is her own. I love her. I am very glad that my friend thought to invite me, it's nice to have good friends but it made me very sad to turn it down. Not only is the concert way out of my comfort zone but the thought of being around so many people and having to park so far away, it's just too much.
Which has got me thinking just how much am I going to continue to miss out on because of...myself? It's infuriating. I've passed up trips, concerts, all sorts of opportunities to make wonderful memories or grow closer to those I care about. it just makes me sad.
I am almost 28 and still in the same place I was when I was 18. I still have the same problems. *sigh*
I am working on another pair of shoes though, which I enjoy. I do hope I can make something out of this. I do hope I can make something out of myself. I don't want to be like this in another ten years...

Head Over Heels
So when I was young, I wanted to be a fashion designer. I had very little sense in style but it was my own and it was so easy to get away wearing bright blue leapord print leggings over light pink tights. as I've gotten older, my style is still my own but I have toned down the color combos a bit ;)
My heart, while loves fashion in general, has a very soft spot for shoes. I adore them, a really amazing pair of shoes makes me feel wonderful! My first encounter with a very amazing pair of shoes was last Valentine's Day, the guy I had been seeing was apparently more attentive than I had imagined and gave me a pair of my favorite shoe designer Christian Louboutin heels as a gift. I had never been much into designer shoes but those must have sparked something in me because I fell in love with a pair of YSL heels and Miu Miu heels that I had to have. The desire was quite persistent!

Seriously, how could I not fall in love with these shoes?!
Anyway, recently my artwork has taken on a more fashionable approach. I have been "redecorating" shoes for people! I have been so excited about it. I am hoping to be able to get something started with this. It's always been difficult for me to hold a job dealing with the agoraphobia and I have felt that it would take a lot of stress off me to have an income again. A more reliable one. Who knows where things will go with all of this but I have been having a blast giving shoes a creative makeover. All the shoes started out as just plain basic pumps and this is what the end result is!

I did start an etsy shop too, something I have been meaning to do so it was quite nice to get that started. For two months I dragged my feet, I think I was worried nobody but me would like my Head Over Heels shoe art but it can't hurt to see where things go!
