Oooh, monkeys!

Today is national Monkey Day. Who knew? The official site is here.

My new best friend!!

Is it okay to be BFF with inanimate objects? Namely, a Gocco printing press? (info on Goccos: http://www.savegocco.com/save.html) Because it's totally my new best friend EVER.

I made our Christmas postcards as my first project. They were based on photos of the Mister and I that I traced and then drew with an ink pen.

That's it. My throat has been hurting all day, so I'm off to bed.















millions of us!

Freedom! Horrible, horrible freedom!

I finally freaking finished making some curtains for friends. I made four, all about 54"x80", and they were pretty much a nightmare and took for-ever. But they're finished, so now I can go back to making fun (and small!) things. Right now I'm doctoring up a long-sleeved shirt that my sister gave me. the neck hole was too small, so I hacked at it and am re-sewing it into more of a boatneck. Next up on the project train? Christmas/holiday postcards, in which I can loudly proclaim my last (and first, for that matter) name to all of our friends and family. (This was inspired by the fact that Mister's friends [who are 30 - 30!!] sent us a card addressed to "Mr. and Mrs. Mister'slastname". What the fuck? At least give me a first name, even if you didn't notice from our wedding thank you cards that I didnt' change my name! aaargh!)

Enough ranting about patriarchal norms. Gah.
Some pictures inspiring the postcards [i.e. me cheating and copying contrasted photos of us and printing them on my Gocco printer. Because, you know, who doesn't want a print of us for Christmas?]:
