Happy Thanksgiving! I am most thankful
for being ALIVE and healthy and
having loved ones to share my life with.
Another thing for me to be thankful for,

my art is my life, my living. it's ridiculous how much people expect you to do for free or for little money. the worst is when you do something for someone, hoping for a little credit and exposure, and it doesn't even get used. give respect where it's due. im done.

This Thursday!

I miss this space, need to recreate it, right now it is half-assed.
I am STILL working on the children's book, numerous re-dos of the cover and also some more for title page, ending page, etc. I cant wait for it to be done but as it drags on it is harder and harder to muster the energy to actually finish.

thinking of going to Topanga days but it's $20 to get in! sheesh!

broke down and bought these today:

if they work out I might get these:


I can't ignore my feet anymore. :(
I don't think these are too bad for orthopedic shoes, though.
next step is finally making an appointment with the podiatrist.
yawn.

surprisingly this has been my best seller so far. I love it! I thought it was kind of silly and fun, something I did truly for my own satisfaction. I really didn't think it would get much attention, yay!

also, I can't wait for this tonight: http://girlsnightout.sheckys.com/la/spring2009/default.asp?rf=home
just wish i had a lot of cash to blow! I have been dreaming of shopping sprees...

dream...

I had a dream about brad pitt. it was pretty bizarre. We were all (there was a bunch of people) staying in a hotel room, Angelina ad Brad snuck off to do the nasty, lol. At one point he asked me for something and I threw it to him and said "yeah just because you're Mr.Brad Pitt you think you can have whatever you want" he just walked away and said "and you were just waiting to say that"

Just saying.....

I'm a little tired of rail-thin, drop-dead gorgeous models and wouldn't mind seeing some "average" folk in some spreads. Especially the real artistic fantasy ones.

I miss designing fun crazy tees (no color or placement limitations-well, not too many)
I hope to do some once again but my own ideas and characters!

















jewelry....

  • Mar. 29th, 2009 at 10:31 PM


My jewelry is on display now in the jewelry store I am working at! I will be adding it to etsy soon and also adding more pieces! I feel so lucky to have found this job! I have learned SO much and it really feels like a family. Everyone is very supportive and open and we are all growing together.

I have also been able to play a little at what I always thought would be a dream job...window dressing!
This is the current display I designed at the store:


On another note, I am sad that Paperboat ( http://paperboatboutique.com/ ) is closing but I am sure those girls will continue doing great things. I don't know if this economy turn has hit bottom yet but I sure hope it doesn't go much further... :(

yum....

something new to obsess about....

Mac n cheese pancakes
I made mac'n'cheese pancakes. I had a box of mac'n'cheese in my cupboard from an impulse buy a few weeks ago, I ended up making ot for dinner Sat. night. I was feeling lazy and my husband wasn't hungry.
I had some left overs so decided to use it in our pancakes Sunday morning. It was organic mac'n'cheese and whole wheat pancakes. Probably not as ooey gooey tasty as the ones made with cheddar cheese but delicious just the same.

soooo goood!!!!
