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.

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!
