My favorite mail has got to come from mav.

I can never do her amazing letterpress justice, and I can't tell you how excited I am about her upcoming card club membership.

You can buy her stuff here.  It only lasts as long as the limited print run.  I love that.  It lets you stay fresh. It also means that I am always getting something new in my mailbox in her hard brown envelopes. My heart does a little leap when I open my box and see her bright tape.  

My painting will be coming later today.(which makes it look like I did like five posts today - oh well) A friend of my boss is having a wedding at the studio this weekend and we have for the past three months been painting and cleaning like crazy, but it is down to the wire. So yesterday we numbered and found a home for all the new backdrops that are going into stock. 

And on a sewing note - for the first time ever in my life. I have finished a spool of thread. I mean before the first Plush You. I didn't even have thread in the house. And even though it is only the white, I am proud to say that I finished it, the spool is bare. So that means renegade is coming along nice. My goal is to get pretty close to done before I leave the country next friday. 

(also I updated my posts so if you missed anything….) 

I never thought about purchasing one of Natalie's pieces until mav's post about art. I can't tell you how glad I am to do that. The line work. It is crazy delicate and so beautiful.   feel like this piece has a secret part - the iridescent. You can see it when the light hits it the right way and when you get up close and admire the work. I love the subtleness and beauty of her drawings.  I can gush on and on!  

Abby and I both grew up in the valley's of California and her imagery plays on some of those memories.  Like the  amazing water towers.  She just started a really sweet newsletter, so sign up!  Or go to her store where you can buy her creations for a steal!

Is it wrong that I LOVE Flash Gordon?
The song…FLASH….ahahhhhhhhh….
I love the miniatures.
The crazy colors of the skys and the different worlds.
I wanted to be Dale Arden.
I secretly wanted to by Princess Aura.
The costumes were intense.
But I think my favorite was Prince Vultan.
He could fly, plus he had the best laugh!

Well something server related broke, so I lost all weeks posts and I don't backup myself (obviously)….I'll update this week's posts this weekend (I don't keep the ideas anywhere else, so it'll all be a little different. 

I had been talking about wonderful things in the mail and the above photo is my purchase from Hammer & Daisy. I love the name and my first ever zines from Gracia and Louise!  Crazy talented those two!!
