Monday Monday


Good Evening,
I need to apologize for the lack of posts this weekend and not finishing up my to do list
If you've been a long time follower of Miss Yellow Shoes then you know that I was sick with mono not too long ago. I'm sure you all get tired of hearing this, but my immune system is down and my doctors told me that it will never be the same. 
So yes...
I was sick again.


But it's Monday night and the week has just begun!

Ooodles and Ooodles of Doodles


Since my last post...

I've gone back to work at the daycare (part time)
I'm so happy to be back with all the kids. I really missed them a bunch!

I've been a busy little bee crafting away as well. I've been crocheting flowers pins like there's no tomorrow. (you can find those in the shop by Monday)

In addition to going back to work and crocheting away a storm (and catching a cold from the kids) I've also been doodling away!

Before...


After!

After!


Maybe this last one will be my new logo or featured in a new banner.

What's next on my list? These!



Stay tunned for the upcoming tutorials!

DIY Blog Clip-art

In my last blog post I used this image..


Would you like a tutorial on how to make your own?
Well lucky You, that's what this post is!


First, sketch your image with a blank sheet of paper (the notebook paper with lines won't do the job).
Try not to fill in anything. Remember you'll be adding color in later so there isn't much need for shading
Next, take a picture. Make sure your camera is directly over your sketch or else you'll get some funny angles in your final piece. 


Now upload your picture to Picnik or you can also use photoshop if you like. 
Brighten up your picture like this, making sure not to make your black lines disappear. 


Now use the "doodle" in picnik to add color to your image. The possibilities are endless here so have fun!

I added a little thought bubble to mine. You can do that with the "stickers" in picnik. 
The last step is to save your image to your computer and then upload it to your blog!



This is another one that I made today...

Wednesday Movie- Wall-E

I love the Pixar movies, and Wall-E is, by far, my favorite one yet.
I found it interesting how the first half of the movie contained no dialog but the animators did such a good job that the the viewers can tell exactly what the robots are saying and thinking.
Obviously a robot is a machine and has no emotions or life in the real world, but giving Wall-e and Eva human features was rather cute.
The color themes used in the movie where very clever as well. The Earth has an earthy brown orange tone to it, making it seem dirty, while the spaceship was blue, white, a rather clean and futuristic look.
Despite the whole theme of "Man is killing the Earth!", this is a rather funny movie that I think is great for families and couples to watch.

How To- Doodles

I don't know about you, but I love doodling. 
It relaxes me when I'm stressed and keeps me awake in those early morning classes.
Anyway, here are some fun how to's I found for all you doodlers out there.
Grab your pencils and some scrap paper...let's go!









Mondays...


Ah yes everyone, it's Monday.
The day when we all must fight our very own bodies just to hit the alarm button.
"no no! just a little bit longer in bed!" your mind cries out. But you know that it's time to get up and take that cold shower to help you wake up, get dressed, and head out the door.
Once Monday is over though, you have something to look forward to. Just make it to Wednesday and you're halfway there!
Baby steps...just take it one day at a time.
