{monday}

I posted a weekly *chore* list on my bulletin board yesterday.
Today is day two...I'm hoping to keep up with it!

On another note, I have a new character coming out today.
Usually, they are posted by early afternoon,
but do to my new school schedule, this one will come out later tonight.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful Monday.
*I'm going to*

six months...

* This is going to be a bit of a sad post. I already have tears in my eyes....

A little over six months ago, I found out that my best pal of eight years didn't have much longer to live. Humbert was a part of my identity...For heaven's sake, I drug the 120 pound beast with me everywhere, and he never complained a bit. I was always afraid of him leaving me, and I didn't know how I would ever be able to take it...

* and that is how Unconventional Ida began*

I decided to pour my whole heart, and all of my sadness into creating each and every one of my characters. I couldn't just sit on the couch and cry...I needed to create something memorable...for such a wonderful friend.

For the first two weeks of Unconventional Ida, I was blessed enough to have him with me, under my desk and by my feet, while I worked...

*I treasured every moment*

He is still comes with me everyday to the post office, thanks to another lovely etsian- Off The Beaten Path. She was kind enough to make me this custom Humbert tote...

I'd like to thank everyone that has supported my shop...
I am truly honored, and so very thankful.

* I miss you Boog*

It is such a wonderful way to start the week~

Circus whirled...

Sorry I haven't posted in a couple of days.
I've been super busy creating new work for this show (above).
The theme "Circus Whirled" is right up my alley, and I am falling in love with all of the new characters that I am creating.
I will be posting some sneak peeks on my blog...

* BUT*

If you are in the Madison, WI area, you should totally head to the Anxiety Gallery and check it out. All of the artists are amazing!

don't laugh...

I have been trying to figure out
how to do a full screen capture on my mac so that I can post treasuries.
Finally, it happened.

***

Or so I thought.

Oh dear, why did I ever buy a wide screen monitor?
Is there any way to take a screen capture
of the whole treasurywithout having to cut & paste?

There must be.
While I'm figuring it out, please visit these wonderful treasuries and etsy shops!

synchronicity 313

Ahhh, my three favorites from Kenneth Rougeau.
I find "Bird Song" absolutely enthralling, and a marvelous idea.
Please visit Kenneth's etsy shop, Synchronicity 313, for a glimpse into wonderland!

lola.s flowers

These flowers make me chuckle.
At first, I couldn't understand why they were so popular. However, the more I make, the more fun they become.
I find myself playing with the different pieces, and the different colors, as if they were puzzle pieces.

I am going to have an exciting evening
making new flowers and new colors!

k*

p.s. They make great Valentine's day gifts.
p.p.s. Tomorrow I (super-excited) am going to see "Juno". Yippee!

the first 8...

I stayed up until 2 am last night creating the first eight characters of '08.
They still need a bit of color, but they will be up in my etsy shop this afternoon.

I can't wait to introduce them all to you!

dear blog,

I promise that I haven't neglected you already.
