sunday
the boys are back in town

sonny and ugly buffalo are here for a while

we took them downtown and then around, and then wound up drinking Murphy's stout at Irish Times for SEVEN HOURS.

monday
wake up wondering why i was at a bar a few hours ago on a school night, young lady. work. bleh. purchase gears and parts and doo-dads. target. home. ugly buffalo brings me a present from my big babygay:


tomorrow, back to our regularly scheduled embroidery and artistic obsessions.

watercolor and embroidery on muslin, stretched over an embroidery hoop. 6" across. this is the 5th one i've finished, i feel they're getting better.

i like it

im a pixie...

so besides embroidering too much, i also made some wings for kelly tonight



i think i've watched at least 6 episodes of Always Sunny in Philly tonight while working. I love Charlie a lot.


I used to make wings all the time.

the thing is

some days i wish i could just work on art and craft and whatever 7 days a week and not have to bother with the desk job.


most days i think i can't leave WQA anytime soon, because often, for no reason what-so-ever, things like this happen:



joe made a yip yip and brought it to work.

3 days a week in a place like this aint too bad, if you ask me.

hello work

trying to get as much work done as i can, but it's gonna be a busy busy busy week....

my first musky

FORTY SIX INCHES

i had a pretty great weekend!


3 hours after my first musky-fishing-cast, ever
Madison, WI
topwater bait
released, of course

also,

pissy little bass


punkins

I live under a rock...

(...or in a box of paints?)

I just found out that Tim Burton is doing Alice in Wonderland. My brain must be plugged into something though, because last week I started working on this:



It's just the rough sketch, and needs some good tweaking, but I'm happy with where the design is going so far. I'm not sure about making the cheshire cat purple-ish colored though... too disney-esque? Hmm.

What I really want Tim Burton to do is Something Wicked This Way Comes. I've been waiting for that one. Maybe if I start doing a painting of that...

embroider all day

Yesterday I embroidered for at least 13 hours.

(again)






(i love my job!)

working working

worked on a bunch of different things today


hello critter before paint. i like this guy a whole lot.

i got a date with a bottle of sake, i gotta run!

self portrait

theres things i want that arent things

this hello critter is bird-like

i make things with these hands. i sew little pictures onto my husband's old work shirts.



this one makes me pretty happy. back in the right direction. moving on....
