visitation rights

Went to Boston the past weekend with some friends of mine.
It was fun. Its nice to go somewhere with people you have never gone with before.
We laughed.
We cried.
We danced.
We tangoed.
ok... maybe not.
But we did laugh a lot.
And occasionally break out into song.
I don't know why so don't ask.













We went to the garment district which was a lot of fun.
The pile of clothes is something I never expected.
And the man I caught, in a suit, talking on his cell phone, looking all important, standing on the $1.50/lb pile of clothes, created much humor for me.
He had no idea I took his photo.

I was afraid I was going to loose my dog in the pile of clothes so I didn't venture in.

My friend got a gnome mask. I wish we remembered wearing it in the car around Boston.

its fit for a queen

So I went away this weekend to Boston with some friends.
It was a lot of fun but too short.
While I was distracted by my trip, things happened.
First on Friday I found out not one but 2 of my items were in the "related" section of a storque article.


Then on Monday I had my giraffe tshirt up on the front page of etsy!

I was wondering how that shirt had so many views in such a short period of time.

Then etsystalker.com contacted me to let me know that my tote bag was in their online exhibit regarding President's Day!!



I also made a new shirt!



whew!

Happy Birthday!!

Today is Abe Lincoln's birthday. Did you know?
If you didn't, you do now.
I figured it was highly appropriate to mention his birthday due to the fact that I have made many things with his face all over it.







Here are some facts about Abe Lincoln to celebrate his Birthday.
Oh and Happy Birthday Abe!
you are awesome!
- He was 6ft 4inches tall
- He loved playing billiards
- He was the first president to have a beard
- He disliked harming or killing animals. Even for food
- He carried letters, bills and notes in his stovepipe hat (I knew it!)

get ready

So guess what?!
I'm going to Seattle in June!!!!!!!

I'll be back wreaking havoc on the innocent people of Seattle.
Ok so I couldn't scare a mouse away.
Big deal.
But I'm going to be traveling back to Seattle!!!
This time I am hoping to go down to Oregon for a day.
I'm just so excited.
It makes me want to sing "I'm so excited" aloud.
Or scream.
Or run around with excitement.

In the mean time I'll show you me... in a mask... that I really want.
Because I find it absolutely humorous and a little scary.


enjoy!

All in moderation

so I hit 100 views

I'm not sure why I had to comment on this, but I did.

onto other things...
I saw this little blurb on an airline website. They are talking about service animals and the restrictions with it.

Notice where it says "except monkeys?"
All I can think of is that I WANT A SERVICE MONKEY!!!
But not one that flings poo.
Just as Amy Winehouse says about rehab "no no no."
Only "no" on the poo flinging.

I was searching for poo pictures and I found this and I just HAD to use it.
Sorry Busy lovers.

Anyway, I have some new shirts.
Actually they aren't really "new".
They have been around. But I just printed them and models them.




Someone who purchased one of angel unicyclist shirts asked me if this was an original or a Banksy.
Unless Banksy has done this before and I didn't know about it, its an original.
I was sooooo flattered.
I definitly don't come near the caliber work or the creativity he has as well as his political and social voice behind all his work.
But it still made my day.
Thanks!

I got you abe

I was making a shirt and I got the Sonny and Cher song "I got you babe" song stuck in my head.
I blame you Abe Lincoln.
Its ok though, you are still cool to me.

I know its true

This month is Heart Health Month and so at work on Friday, people can wear jeans as long as they wear something red.
They said to wear a red tie or any other red apparel.
Which naturally made me think of Shaun of the Dead


But I can't really get away with wearing a tie to work.
I'm pretty sure I would get some strange looks if I did that.
But so I thought, I don't really have any red shirts, so what else can I wear that's red? And I do want to be able to wear jeans to work (who doesn't?!)
Well, here is my list of "things that I might be able to wear to work that is red," list.

1. my heart patch.
How appropriate would it be to come in with a red heart patch for a heart awareness function sponsored by the American Heart Association.


2. If not a red heart patch how about an eye patch? a red eye patch?

Ok... Ok... maybe not.

3. To go with the theme of pirates and red things, how about a red bandanna, like Johnny Depp wore in his Pirates of the Caribbean movies?


Ok so no pirates. I get it. You don't have to yell.

4. If I don't have a shirt how about red pants, like Buffy wore.


I can totally pull those off, right?
mmm... so I don't know about pleather either.

5. How about tights?


wait... but then no one can see them under my jeans.

6. How about red hats? Such as a fez?


7. Speaking of more red hats... how about the ones from the 80's band Devo?


8. Ok so maybe some more realistic ones.
Underwear.


Ok so no one would be able to see them unless I wear them, superman style.


granted I'll probably be sent home if I did this.

9. How about some red socks (not the red sox)


But um... just not with those shoes...

10. But speaking of shoes. This I would totally do. If someone wants to buy me these.


11. Or maybe something from the Gap Red line?



hmm... maybe I should just stick with my scarf.
