You bet! I have more oddities. However, these oddities are physical constructions straight out of the human imagination not Mother Nature. Some people just go above and beyond with unusual and amazing ways to express their creative ideas and capabilities. Let nothing cease to amaze you, as soon before your very eyes, people pull some real oddities from the inner workings of their minds. Follow me as I take you on a journey, barely skimming the surface I might add, of just a few of the people who have created from the genius within.
He was actually born in Britain when ruled by Rome. Patrick was kidnapped by the Irish, brought back to Ireland and enslaved for ten years. When he escaped returning to Britain and then later to France where he entered a monastery where he studied for 12 years becoming a Catholic bishop. He later had a dream about Ireland which called to him to return. His mission was to convert Ireland away from its Pagan culture and turn them to Christianity. March 17 is the date of St Patrick’s death. At some point during the 7th century after his death, Irish Catholics began to celebrate St Patrick’s passing. They were in truth celebrating the conversion of Paganism to Catholicism through the diligence of St Patrick. 
Because I love hot air balloons and wandering around YouTube, I discovered a lot of art projects related to Steampunk. During my search for light bulb hot air balloons, I came across this incredible version of hot air balloon which was silver. had many odd gadgets added onto it, and looked from another world. The fellow who created this piece said it was Steampunk. Okay, I need toknow more. I found Steampunk fascinating in its designs. It was then, I decided to look into origins and reasons for this specific style. Of course, I had heard about Steampunk for years and seen many a fantastic art project related to the genre. I just loved the style. So, what exactly was I being enticed by? 
Thought I would let you know of the many projects that occupy me during any given day of the week. Never just work on one project at a time. Rather I have a routine of rolling from one project into the next, and the next and the next throughout the day. There are my crochet projects, painting projects, word puzzles, you name it. While I am sitting down crafting, I enjoy a good documentary on Netflix or YouTube video from one of my many subscribed channels. Always looking for a new something to learn about or to do. I keep my mind active, questioning, wondering, searching. At the age of 65, my whole life is being revamped. New job, new home, new life! It’s all in the working. Brain power in action leads to a healthy brain and life.
that was the first thought that came to my mind upon awakening today. Jelly beans yummy, yummy jelly beans which then started me wondering just how jelly beans are made. Perhaps because I was ogling the jelly beans at Hobby Lobby when I was supposed to be searching for craft supplies. One can get so easily side tracked by something so simple! Fortunately for my blood sugar levels, I left them all on the shelf…boo hoo. Still has not stopped me from wondering how those luscious little sugary morsels are made. Leave it to me, I shall get to the bottom of this.
