Before Camilla left for her vacation I managed to get my hands on Roberto.
He is so SO cute!
The package had loads of tape…with a little note from camilla:
"you can never use too much tape"
Trixie was totally willing to play, but Roberto wasn't so sure.
I seperated them after that.
Thank you Camilla, I love Roberto and his cute little jersey!
Welcome back from your vacation.
Now I am a big fan of mav & arc…who wouldn't (no couldn't) be…
but mav's new card society is amazing.
She continues to inspire me in a huge and encompassing way.
I love that about her.
If you haven't joined, or are on the fence…you can totally get right on down (from the fence that is).
I mean who wouldn't want such fantastic treats to come in the mail…
even trixie wants to be a part of it…
thank you mav…
I got this lovely journal and a sampler pack ages ago. It was a gift (so I couldn't show it off), but it has been given, so go check out erin's blog. Her journals are amazing, plus they can be used by lefties. She has a couple really beautiful journals and another sampler set in her shop right now…go fast.
I have to be the world's most horrible cell phone user! The states of my cell phone:
*cell phone is off
*phone is charging, but off (makes my speakers wig out)
*charging and on, but at home when I am elsewhere
*phone has died and lives in my bag for days on end
*phone charges for a week, where I don't even look at it
*once in a very long while I am completely & totally surprised at myself when someone does call and I answer
I missed a visit by my favorite teacher…she was in nyc last week and I noticed I had messages last night…arg!
Made by Friederike (with help from Sandra Monat!). He traveled all the way from Germany and the first thing I did was make him take a photo shoot on the roof of my building. Isn't he the cutest! And my view from the roof - how could I have missed the chance to take photos up here. Oh I am such a slacker. I already have plans for more photo shoots - a special one after I finish all the softies for the renegade show.
He was tuckered out after posing for photos, so he just slipped into my bag and we took the train home. He sits with my growing collection of soft creations….
renegade update:
I made a limit to how many softies I am making, I was driving myself crazy trying to figure it all out.
The penguins are ready to be stuffed
Inside out are also waiting for filling
Long birds have been cut out (might take them to sew on the plane)
Need to cut the bellies for the 'owls'
I am going to make some prints of my paintings - any must dos?
Need to get some containters for tuesdays - going to have solid perfume at the fair
Need bellies and eyes for the backdrop softies
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….)
