Fan Fridays: 90's Style

I've been watching a show on Netfilx called 

My So Called Life

with Claire Danes as a teenager.

It's all agnsty & kinda reminds me of Degrassi with less characters, 

a darker Boy Meets World,

and is pretty much how I thought my life was in high school.

My life really wasn't like her's in high school but it sure felt like it.

I felt like I didn't fit in, but also that I was super cool.

That my parents didn't understand & only friends really knew what it was like.

You know, all that teenage knowledge.

Needless to say, I love the show!

I also love all the plaid/grunge going around.

I swear the main character wore 3 different plaids in on outfit!

Love it!

And I'd also like a job...thanks

Happy Friday!

Dorm Dec Wednesdays: The Color Pink

It's spring! Hooray!

Now it's time to start thinking of all those spring colors

like Pink

source

Isn't this fun? I'd hate to cover up a nice window...but if it's necessary

source

This I'd like to try:

I think you could find a plain 'ol white shower curtain with a separate liner

then sew little ruffles of fabric along the length

It would look so sweet!

Are you looking forward to anything for spring? 

Happy Wednesday!

In other news, the job hunt is still on, my show is in less than a month & I am busier than ever!

My blog & shop have suffered.  But such is the price of a creative (& busy) life!

I am off to an artist talk tonight but look for a shop update tomorrow.

Make It Mondays: Wearable Prints

For Christmas, I got a load of craft related books!

A really big assortment too: printmaking, paper crafts, spinning, etc

My favorite were the print books

I can't remember the name of the specific book, but it's about using common things to stamp or print with

Things you wouldn't even think about:

like those little cushions that come with corn pads (for your feet....kinda ew!)

craft foam

Styrofoam meat trays

packing materials

erasers

flip flops & soles of other shoes

foam stamps

paper clips & other office supplies

really, if you can hold it & ink it...you can stamp it.

so I took this inspiration from Pinterest:

source    source

 And thought since I've seen a lot of bold prints lately, why not apply

the stamp ideas in that book & create some really bold prints!

I love the hand printed geometric look of this.

Here's some more patterns I love from Pinterest

Can you tell I loooove pattern!

Happy Monday!

Sum Up Sundays: Job Hunting

This week has been a huge & busy week for me.

Things that needed to be mailed haven't been mailed 

(much apologies)

But I have been applying for jobs (& jobs, & jobs, & jobs)

hoping that I can find one & move to a place 

that has never felt more like home.

source

So that's been my week.

I've squeezed in making where ever I could

& I've applied for probably 15+ jobs.

being a big kid kinda stinks!

Oh, I've also kept up with 30 Days of Lists but no pictures still...gahhh!!

Fan Fridays: Tea Pots

I love tea  & I love decorative tea pots.

Another collection I want to start.

I love teapots that are pretty, structurally interesting, & even ones that aren't functional

Nothing better than a pot of tea on a cold afternoon.

I'd also like to throw a tea party!

You know what I'd do with them? Use them for storage!

Paint brushes, pens & pencils, colored pencils, other things that are upright

Maybe I'd use one for tea...but it would be ashame not to use the others for something!

What are you loving this week?
