My Trip To the Museum

Bill Reid- The Raven Discovering Man

So maybe you've hit a creative block, or you just need some inspiration to get you though the week. So I thought I would post pictures from my trip to the Vancouver Museum of Anthropology (MOA) this morning. This museum is this stunning building that overlooks the ocean and features mostly Musqueam artifacts... enjoy!

I think this is beautiful

Hope this sparks some inspiration in you!

If you want to know the names of any of the exhibits in the pictures, or any info on them, just let me know! I'll be back at the museum on Thursday!

Happy Tuesday!

It's time for Tuesday's Tunes! And this time it's actually on a Tuesday...

This week we are listening to Lennon and Maisy's cover of "Call your Girlfriend"

I'm about to blow your mind, guys

They are TWELVE and EIGHT! How insane is that!?

When I was 8, I was still having trouble drawing hand turkeys!

And they both play guitar like little angels in their other videos

So this sparked a little argument between me and ma boyfriend Alexander

Allegedly, he used to be a very good guitar player, but I cannot verify this because I've never heard him play!

For the past two years I have begged and pleaded and nothing. He says he doesn't have time and that it's to hard to relearn it because he is out of practice. So I foolishly bet him that I would learn it no problem...

So now I have his guitar sitting in my room... and I will admit I entered into this bet a little bit too confidently. I think I thought my background in piano would make it easy, but really I think it's done more harm than good. I don't understand this fret nonsense!

Anyways, as always, have an awesome day. Hopefully that video has inspired you to learn something new or do something sweet... or maybe you're like me and it's just made you feel sort of lame because two preteens are about 100x more talented than I will ever be

 Oh well

Thanks to Kennedy for the song! You better be studying for our Natural Disasters Group Quiz!

A Very Boring Weekend

So I was super bored this weekend... This will become apparent when you see what I made

I had been watching pretty much nonstop cake boss all Sunday because all my friends were either on ski trips, with their boyfriends, at home, studying, or just ignoring me because of the Superbowl...

I wanted to practice my cake decorating skills so badly! But I have no kitchen at school... so what to do!

I realized I had some homemade fondant in my fridge from a batch I had made for some of my friends, but I had no cake...

Featuring: the lid of my hairspray, decorated like a cake!

I'm actually pretty embarrassed by this... 

I rolled out the fondant with a sharpie

Molded the flowers

Tied a ribbon around it

And there you go... Olivia's desperately bored dorm room crafts

Maybe next time I'm trapped at University, I'll just go on a walk or something! But hey, I deserve a lazy Sunday, so I'm not too embarrassed by this. I'll make a real cake when I go home this weekend

Hope you guys have a great start to your week
