Sunday Afternoon

Happy Sunday all. So far it's been a lazy one for me. I did have an early start to the day but I'm in slow motion. I suppose that's what Sundays are for :)

My mission to finish packing is complete. Just a few things left, but that is stuff I need up until my moving day.

So I watched the first 3 movies in the Harry Potter series. I actually hadn't watched any of them (nor have I read any of the books despite the fact of receiving one from a friend). I'll put that on my 'to do action list'. I actually quite enjoyed them, although I did find parts to be a little scary (how do kids watch that? ;)

Right now I'm sipping a fabulous cup of organic chai tea with some agave nectar in it for sweetness. Next, well, I'll probably do some more sketching. I've been playing with a few different ideas so that when I get my new studio set up (after my move), I can just get to work.

Oh I found something I really like on etsy this morning from Glory Daze I love the screen printed fabric pouch pictured above, so lovely. Please do check out her shop.

That's it kids. *smooches to all*

Lovely shop

This morning as I was checking out etsy, I came across Cate Angel's shop full of print goodness. Totally affordable art and I must say all the women Cate has painted, stunning.

Not much going on over on my end. I'm getting ready for my move (I've mentioned a few times now) so I haven't been painting or posting to my shop. It's empty :( So sad. BUT after my move, I have some new tricks up my sleeve. I created a new shop on etsy which I'm really excited about. I wanted to change the name of my current one, and for those of you who are familiar with etsy know that once you pick that name, you're pretty much stuck. Anyway, I will post more information as soon as I get the new shop up and going :) It's so exciting!

Alright, day job time. *smooches*

Seriously, do I have a problem?

I keep looking and looking for red! Red! Red! Mwaaaaaaaaa...

So I'm a little crazy this morning. It's Monday. *YAWN*

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Studio M's shop. There is a lot of great art work at completely affordable prices. Check out her profile while you're there, it's super cute. It put a smile on my face :) <---like that, yes. Above is one of her prints, it's lovely and yes, it's has red in it.

Oy, I have a problem.

*smooches*

And more red...

What an awesome sushi plate from Jennelle! It's fantastic.

The last few days I've practically lived off avocado maki. I'm addicted. I can't seem to get enough.

Hope you had yourself a great weekend. Happy Sunday night darlings.

*smooches*

The obsession with red continues...

as does my quest for a red toaster. Apparently they are popular little buggers since every store I've been to seems to be sold out (well except for one display model that looked like about a million people put their greasy paws on it ;) Sooooooooooo...I'm still looking for a red toaster.

In other news, I was surfing etsy for more red goodness and came across Ola Designs beeeeeeautiful pitcher and cups summer set (pictured above). It's so lovely!

Alright, that's it for now :) *smooches*

Turquoise and Red

I've used these two colours together in my own stuff (paintings, greeting cards, etc...), but I don't know, I'm so in love with them again. I went on a mini shopping spree for my new place. I bought a bunch of turquoise and red items for my kitchen (pictures to come).

So while I was touring around etsy, I noticed that one of my favourite shops Simply Modern had a set of 4 prints for a very affordable price using these exact colours. Ohhhh I want them so baaaaad! :)

Sweet dreams darlings.

*smooches*

Check this out

What a beautiful print from Lily Moon. She has tons of great prints in her shop and all at very reasonable prices.

So it's a stormy night where I am, it's super HOT though. I hope the storm helps cool things down a bit. I'm all for hot weather (I love it!) but this is insane!

Time to read a bit, this is perfect reading weather.

*smooches*

Wednesday

Happy July 4th my American friends :) Hope you enjoy your day off! In Canada, we had Monday off for Canada day.

Sooooooooo...I found this beautiful blue bowl on my morning stroll through etsy. It's by J. D. Wolfe Pottery. I'm a sucker for bowls, I have lots hanging around my place. Check out J. D's shop.

So last night I had my last silk screening class, it was fantastic and I'm SO happy with the results of my repeat yardage assignment. I did take some pics which I hope to post tonight.

Alright, time to get this party started.

*smooches*

Tuesday morning

I'm back to work today after a loooong weekend...I'm a little tired but I feel pretty good :)

I was looking around etsy this morning and came across The Art of Miles Histand. He's out of Portland, Oregon (I *heart* Portland), and the colours he uses are really beautiful. Check out his work.

Alright, day job time.

*smooches*

Yay!

I just noticed that my most favourite shop on etsy, Anabella Designs, listed some *new* enamel pendants! BEAUTIFUL! I I love the colour combo of turquoise and green and the Mehandi inspired designs is stunning! Check her out :)

*smooches*

I got a treasury!

Yay! Unfortunately because I'm at work, I can't get to it so that I can grab the link, but if you go to etsy, into treasury and look for the one called "Got one"...that's me :D Above is actually one of the things listed in my treasury. It's by Print Maker Jen. Really lovely, bright watercolours.

Alright, day job time. *yawn*

Good morning and happy Friday!

Feels great that it's Friday! We're getting some really lovely weather right now and I think it's going to keep up for the weekend, so that's cool! :)

So this morning while I was checking out etsy, I came across Michelle Brusegaard's shop. I can relate to her, she does tons of different things. I love the place mats and napkins pictured above. Beautiful!

*sigh* alright, day job time.

*smooches*

Monday morning

Happy Monday All. *yawn*

It was a crazy weekend full of bbqs and father's day chaos. BUT I survived! Unfortunately I didn't get a lot of work done like I had planned but c'est la vie.

SO tonight I have to get going on my design ideas for my repeat yardage assignment. I'm excited about that, I have some ideas, so hopefully they translate well on to paper so that I can shoot my screen tomorrow and start printing (silk screening).

Oh one more thing, I've posted about her before but I have to tell you the work that Ali J has been posting in her shop, Aussie Patches...SO awesome! I love it. Check out one of her newest illustrations above.

*smooches*

A couple of things I'm loving right now...

I bought this cute cameo pin from The Black Apple. I love it. Presently it resides on my purse, guarding the jewels :)

This gocco print I purchased from Sugar Loop. *I really need to get me a gocco*

I apologize for the lack of posts lately, things have been really busy and well, you know how that is. More to come over the next few days. *smooches*

*the yumi yumi shop*

is soooooooooooooo delicious. Check out her shop there are some really beautiful pieces in there and they are totally affordable. *three cheers for affordable art*

In other news, my back still feels horrible but I'm back at work today. Sigh. I really need a weekend right about now.

Day job time. Chat later.

A whole lot of awesomeness

OMG, I was just checking out etsy and came across Evian Design I LOVE her stuff! Check out the illustration above...fantastic!

Ok, day job time. Later.

Too many cute things to mention

I love this shop called Repurpose. The artist makes things out of vintage finds. Check out the super cute pics above.

I apologize for the short post, I haven't been feeling very well lately. I seem to have hurt my back so I'm trying to concentrate on getting better. I will post more soon. Be well.

Just got home from the symphony...

Yup, even had my fancy pants on :) It was loads of fun, the symphony actually played KISS songs, although I'm not even a fan of KISS, it was totally fun and interesting to hear their songs played that way!

Just a reminder that tomorrow I am on showcase again :) Please check it out.

Time for bed...sweet dreams.

We're almost over the hump...

Happy hump day! We're half way through...hang in there!

Last night's class was fabulous. I'm super happy with the way things are turning out. I know I've been promising pictures for a while now, they are coming, I swear it. I just need to finish up this project.

The above piece is by artist Sean Hennessey http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=29098 I love sculpture pieces like this. He cast the gocco bulbs in concrete! Brilliant! I really love the look of this. Check out his shop, he's got some amazing pieces in there for very reasonable prices.

The coolest spice rack ever!

Check out this spice rack from Purpose Design http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5043307 It looks great and it's handy. Super cool!

Another busy day ahead. I know, I keep saying that, but it's the truth. I go from my day job right to school until 11 pm, which is the time I get home. Anyway, I'm not complaining, I love the silk screening course I'm taking so it's totally worth it!
