Trolls

My bf just sent me this pic, but he's not in it lol. This is his band, they are on tour right now, I think in Seattle on their way to Utah today. He took it with his iphone and it looks pretty awesome! He said that's a real VW the troll has. What an amazing piece of artwork!

I've been trying to clean my casa up today. My pile of clean laundry had become a mountain again so I tackled that, and now I'm washing more laundry lol...I have too many clothes. I also plan to clean up my studio so I can be productive in there again!

The weather is nice, I sat outside and drank my coffee when I finally got up today....I heart fall...

Vintage snippets...

I happened upon a few vintage magazine snippets from things in my house that I had scanned and played around in photoshop with. I am thinking about making some of the stuff into fun prints like this one here:

(PS Please do not steal my images. And please ask permission before borrowing and please give proper credit, thanks)

What do you think?

This image I just put some color to for my twitter background, and I like how some of it is still grey. I have lots of other images to do fun things with, I forgot that I scanned them in so long ago. Hopefully I can get some things going to be put up in my etsy store. Well I need to get in bed b/c Loki is getting cranky...lol...puppies they are so demanding...

Taco Tuesday Second Breakfast Edition

Good Morning and second breakfast! I'm enjoying my pumpkin spice w/caramel latte and dreading even getting ready for work. This time of year I just want to hang out at home, knit, read, drink coffee, and walk around my back yard because the weather is so nice.

I just got home from visiting my momma and my lil preggers sis! It was fun we went to some thrift stores and I found some really neat stuff that I hope to take pics of soon. It rained a lot and we just hung out.

I have recently become addicted to the Sookie Stackhouse novels and TruBlood on HBO. But I've been good about limiting my time to get other things done!


I have such a long to do list and I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot:

1. Write an essay for my class!
2. Finish the app I've been working 2 days on for a bank job!
3. Clean my house!
4. Supposed to be working on training packets for my current job...balaahh.
5. Figure out how to get my comforter cleaned...thanks duo...
6. Start working on Christmas presents
7. Make cute stuffs for my etsy store
8. Clean up my studio so I can function in there again
9. Pick a paint color for at least one room in my house, maybe the living room
10. Paint some art work to go on my walls...I have some ideas that involve fall stuffs!



I am also waiting on this to come in the mail! I can't wait!!!!


And of course the Autumn class started today!!!! The first project is up and I actually have the stuff to do it, now I just need to find the time! I think I'm going to make one for Avery and Canyon! Too many babies being born at the same time so now I have to make double the stuffs! lol....

What's on your to do list? What are you having for second breakfast? LOL! xo

Taco Tuesday Gettin' It Done Edition

Happy Taco Tuesday! This post will be pretty short because I'm sleepy and not feeling well. But I did manage to get a few things done after work.

1. I just listed a print of my original painting 'Suitcase Heart' in my etsy store so check it out!

2. Which means I finally got the printer working and have been printing the reading material for my lessons and just used up all the ink....ooppps...

3. I burnt dinner, but it still tasted pretty good.

4. I am almost done with another cute item for my etsy store that will be up as soon as its finished. (Clue: Has to do with Crosby.) I can't wait to make the series I have in my head!

5. I finished one pink scarf and I am starting on another!

6. Started Lesson 2 in my teaching classes! Woot!!

I have to go to work early and do lots of things. It is Coco's b-day so there will be dinner...oh man I forgot about his present....well maybe that vanilla nesquick will be enough?
