{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*

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!
