7 facts/habits about me... they sure are RANDOM!

1. I am terrified of myspace. Yup, it's true.

2. I love cheese, a lot.

3. I went to Bradford College, which closed down and left me stranded during my junior year. I say that I am an art school drop out, but really the school dropped out on me. It's okay, what was I going to do with an art degree anyway? Probably this.

4. I am totally incapable of romance. I understand and appreciate it, but in my real life it just doesn't work out.

5. I just celebrated my third wedding anniversary.

6. My theory of color coordinating is that if you put a whole lot of colors together, they will all match.

7. I almost always dress in blue. When I do wear another color, I unintentionally dress my daughter in the same color.

I'm married to a cowboy, great.

So, this is my husband. I'd call him my "DH", but honestly, look at him. Also, I find that a bit annoying, is it that much effort to type the entire word? It's only 7 letters! I was trying to upload a pic of this awesome mustache guy:

but I can't get it to work, so instead you get my husband. He will be so pleased that this is on my blog for anyone to see. Ha!

Holy crap!

So, I went up into my attic over the weekend because I thought that I had a few unfinished paintings up there. There were over 20! Holy crap. It's so bizarre to look at them now and not remember what I was thinking when I painted them. I'm more motivated to paint now than I have been in years. YAY! I took a few paintings to a little craft fair recently and got a pretty good response to them (although none sold). I haven't actually taken any in the past. It's a start, I guess. I'll post more as I work on them.

crafting wasn't always so easy

Check out this old Workbasket magazine article, it's from 1969. Even funnier than the craft projects are the ads. Are we really lucky to have all the great craft stores we have now? People used to be so much more resourceful!

blogging is wierd

So, I feel like I'm just talking to myself here, I'm obviously new to the whole blogging thing and I just feel like I am babbling on, no one is listening . . . oh wait, that's how I feel all the time anyway. So, my newest tee is so cute and not just because my super cute baby is wearing it. The poor kid has no idea what her shirt says! There's a skull and crossbones on the back. I really do rock. If you'd like your little one to tell the world how cool you are, you can have one too.

I have a whole new batch of tees. I'm getting better at the whole silkscreen thing, but I kind of like the rough around the edges look. I'd really like to make minivans the new cool car. Wouldn't that be great? I could just drive around in my KIA and be super cool . . . oh yeah baby, check me out in my minivan with sippy cups rolling around on the floor and goldfish crackers ground into the carpets. Oh yeah.

etsymoms rock!!

So, I was up half the night working on a batch of t-shirts, including one for myself that says "etsymoms rock" and I got up early this morning and checked my email (right after I got myself a big cup of coffee) and found this awesome ETSYMOMS ROCK treasury from allsweet! Check it out, there's some really awesome stuff.
