(edit: finally…

Indy and her wine
Back when we were at the apartment, I bought Indy a new toy – a stuffed dog toy that looks like a bottle of wine. She didn’t really seem to care for it and never played with it. Well last week I found it when I was unpacking a box of stuff that was under the kitchen sink (no clue…

today’s art…Aurora
I still don’t feel 100% but it’s back to work today. I’d do just about anything at the moment to just go back to bed. today’s princess is Aurora. I kept trying to draw her in unstructured medieval dresses but it just didn’t look right, so I put her in a Tudor dress 🙂

It’s a nice day out so Chase and I are about to go bike-riding, so this will be a quick post. We saw Shutter Island last night. Chase got home from shooting the Tiger game and wanted to go, so we went. It was good, I really enjoyed it. Saw the preview for Iron Man 2 on the big screen,…

The Lightning Thief
As I posted before, last weekend we went to see The Lightning Thief. Ash loaned me her copy of the first book to read, and I finished it today. I would have ADORED this book as a kid. I would have totally been into it – probably would have been playing “Olympians” with my cousins after school and drawing Percy,…

C4 all over again
We couldn’t go to Celebration 4 because of the wedding – we just couldn’t afford it AND a wedding in the same year. Hearing people talking about it, and people constantly asking if we were going just made me so sad that year, because I really wanted to be there! I was so disappointed we couldn’t go. And now the…

Mermaid art
I stayed home from work today… a migraine’s got me pretty k-oed. I was pretty out of it last night, too. Today is Andrina… I drew a little last night, but mostly I’ve slept, especially today. I think I’m up, now… at 4pm LOL? The migraine is still hanging around in the background, but at the moment I feel ok.

Yellow fabric, and Mermaid art
I got a LOT done on my corset last night – I started cutting and putting the boning in, only to realise I’m not going to have enough. I used up so much of my last batch with Anne Boleyn that it went a lot faster than usual. I went to order more this morning only to find the place…

We’ve had an accreditation group at my office today so it was busy and crazy. But! Good news.

More House updates
Since we got the wallpaper down last weekend, that meant it was finally time to paint. We finished yesterday. I don’t really have a before of either room – the garage door entrance is where the bug wallpaper used to be. The main entryway was the off-white/gold stripe that I never took a picture of (we got that removed the…
