well hello there

so many little things

i'm back, i'm working, the wheels are turning, less is being more
i can't really talk about my painting, or even my soft-sculpture, here
i'm so frustrated
but if before i go to sleep each day i've made something or some drawing that didn't exist when i woke up, if i can make something exist each day, then i can be ok

i need to lighten up.
here is a picture of my husband:


here is something i saw on the internets today:




here are some birds i made:

(sarlo is a nickname, i can't really explain it, it's a chubby thing)

i think i go grocery shopping three times a week because i just love it so much

the farmstand is running, and vegetables are getting better, and i love getting home and putting fresh and good smelling food away

here is a new studio monster available in my etsy shop

my paintings make pretty nice backgrounds for photographing these things.
eventually there will be a shift between sewing and painting. i'm not ready yet. but soon.
until then, these guys will continue to come into existence with my little fingers and live with me in the studio


last night chubby and i got our plane tickets for southeast asia, this fall.
to celebrate tonight i wanted a big bowl of pho


sleep now.
