broken minds

My dog broke her thumbnail right down to the skin.
Most of it came off and I had to bring her to the vet to get the rest of it off.

She wasn't happy.

But she does have this absolutely adorable bandages that are pink with purple hearts.
She hates it but its funny to watch her walk alkwardly with it on.
I think she knows I'm laughing at her.


She's all ok though. Apparently its fairly common during the winter months.

On a completely different note, I decided to have a 20% off sale in my etsy shop.
Check it out.

Sigh... I always feel weird plugging my site.

lucky stars and snowy nights

Its snowing a lot which made me decide to stay at home today.
So I'm still in my PJ's and its almost 1PM, but I don't care.

I was going to take my dog out to enjoy the snow, but as I'm looking out there right now, the snow is pretty much horizontal which I'm not sure I want to deal with.
Maybe later...

What I was really going to write about is my excitement.
I was at the local high school so I can let my dog run around freely, when I saw something in the distance.
I was thinking, looks like a camera.
I got closer and that's when I noticed it was a camera. A Holga 120N in fact.
At first I thought, oh it probably doesn't work.
But then I remembered that holgas are pretty much made out of plastic.
So I took it apart, cleaned it up, and let it dry out.
The shutter looks like it still works so I got a Holga for free.
I always wanted one, but I didn't want to dish out the money.
YAY!


I can't wait to play with it.

hard boiled eggs

I LOVE cadbury eggs.
I love the fake sugary insides of the cadbury egg to make it look like the inside of an actual egg (yolk and all).
Amazingly enough, no hydrogenated oils either (I avoid those like the plague and you should too!).
So they are good for me... relatively...
Ok not really.
But whatever, a girl can dream.

I also love my animal masks.
I decided that I needed to revisit/redo some of my etsy pictures of my shirts, so I Incorporated the masks.
Check it out!


and this!


They are so great!

I love the fact that I got mentioned in the suchcoolstuff blog.
They interviewed The May of Teck Club and she mentioned my shop as one of her favs. You should check out her stuff. She is one of my favs too!

And because she mentioned me, I'll also be featured in the blog as well.
Look out for me.
I won't tell you when until the day I'm features so you'll have to stay tuned to my blog and their blog as well.

I love that I am getting a new bag from Moop.
Actually I got it from their site www.moopshop.com.
Its their duffel that they sold out of a while back ago and I was very upset. But they have it back on their main website and I got one!

Ok this is too long already.
I'm probably boring you.
I'll end it on that random note.
Besides, I need to get back to work.

high tide, full moon

New shirt.


I have had this heart theme going on lately.
I'm usually not much of a heart person, which is weird.
But I'm liking it though.

And new ideas for a revamped website.
It hasn't been done yet.
I still have to finish up the design.
I hope it works out.
I'm actually designing it using adobe and then taking it from there.
I'm not much of a graphic design person so it'll be very VERY simple.

my brain doesn't want that

So yesterday wasn't necessarily a bad day.
But it wasn't great either.
It first starts off with the bus I take to work breaking down.
Which then the next bus was jam packed with people.
Luckly I had a seat.
After work I get home and realize it was cold and my dog was shivering.
I go to turn up the heat to find out that its 55 degrees in the house and the heat was not turning on.

The pilot light was out.
And... I tried to light it up again and it wouldn't stay on.
So someone had to come and $150 later, it was all because of a $10 part.
So after being there for a half hour and leaving at 11PM, I finally went to bed with a looming bill headed my way.

on top of that, my dog was sick last night and threw up.
Since she was sick and shivering, I tried to keep her warm.
She looked kind of like this


and this


I was going to take some pictures of a shirt I made but with everything happening, I never had the chance to.

le sigh.

happy places, sad faces

Went to a roller derby on Saturday which was fun.
I like seeing women go around and try to shove each other off their skates.
One woman who was sitting on a camping chair (in the audience), got a skate to the shin. She didn't even flinch. She was more worried about loosing her purple ball of yarn.

Yes she was knitting.
No I'm not kidding.

I wonder what she was knitting.

Anyway, while I was there, this was staring back at me.


Darth Vader tried his death grip on me but I'm much more badass.
Sorry, my geeky side of me got excited about seeing the Vader mask.

On another note... this weekend I spray painted those tacky gold frames I mentioned on my last posting and got them looking nice.
I then painted directly on the glass and didn't bother putting a back on the frames.
This is the result.




You can see more close up pictures on my flickr page.

May the force be with you.

seperation anxiety

I found some old frames that I didn't really want to throw away.
So I decided to paint on the glass itself.

I have some more frames but I need to paint the frame itself because its a weird tacky gold color.

In the mean time, I have this one.




I'm trying to decide whether or not to do a trade or sell it.
Any thoughts?

This is the full stencil on a tote bag that can be purchased in my etsy store.


I'll be making shirts and stuff soon.
