Tidbits and lovely links

ello and good morning! What a fine day it is indeed! I am happy to report much productiveness going on over here. I have been a busy little bee. printing and printing away and also taking a trip to Michaels and buying supplies for more crafty creations and papier mache sculptures. The mistery papier mache girl is in the beginning stage of the painting process and she is turning out so pretty. She is a bit too shy to share another photo of of her half painted self so instead here is a tidbit of what has been coming out of my printer!

I am so pleased with how nicely they are coming along. I personally love stationary! In fact I sort of collect it. More like horde it, you see I love it, so I buy it, and then I have a hard time parting with it and sending it off to other people. Maybe I should buy stationary for all of my sisters next Christmas. Then when they write me a letter I can stash the pretty papers, envelopes, and all the memories written upon it, in a box to keep forever. :) *Sigh* I am getting excited just thinking about it! he he.

Now then, I thought I would share a bit of the fun I have been having, you know share a few links to pretty things that have me inspired and nifty sites I've happened upon while browsing around blogs and whatnot this week.

And lastly I want to wish you all the best of everything! Happy Thursday :) CHEERS!

Saturday markets

am so excited for this weekend! It is the first gardeners market of the year and I am planning on participating! I had been pretending to plan all last year but I'm serious this time! I am really excited and I am working hard to get new and fun things together for my little local debut. Here is what I hope to have ready:

• prints
• stationary sets
  
• fabric dolls
• mini papier mache sculptures

I hope I actually get all of this done. The hard part with a vendor booth is you have to print all the prints before they sell. With Etsy you have the luxury of never wasting ink and paper on a print no one will buy. But I'm willing to take the risk and hope Cache Valley residents are impressed enough to pull out their pocket books.

ere are a few prints I have been working on. I have had these little robots in my mind for months now. I am so happy with how they turned out! They will be available in print form and on some pretty awesome stationary as well. And any They Might Be Giants fans out there might appreciate that they were inspired by the song "Robot Parade" (A great song, you can find it if you your in the mood to browse around here.) This also explains their cute flag waving action too. Well, I'm off to take a trip to the park and play My Little Ponies and pirates, and perhaps work on more printing, sewing and sculpting, it all depends. With kids every day is different, motherhood, that is the way of it. Nor would I ever really change it. :) Happy Wednesday!!

Closer!

He he! This is so much fun, sharing photos of my unfinished papier mache girl. Have a great monday!!

New print

I have to share the sneakiness it just did, I listed a new digital art print!! For a while this drawing was left undone but now, finally, she has been added to the lot! My Little Lola's shop is so excited to have her be part of it! :) Happy Saturday!!

whoever will she be?

Snippets are so fun to share! Here is my latest papier mache girl still in "skeleton" form. What a lovely mushroom she is sitting upon! I'll be posting her in her finished state in time. But for now, I must enjoy this pretty weather. Yesterday was yet another snowy day, those seem to be happening every week as of late.

Bluefly

Hi, I Just wanted to share this look I put together with some pretty clothes I liked from Bluefly.
It was a lot of fun "window shopping" on their website.
edit: This look would look so great with a pair of blue jeans to make it a little more casual.

What's your opinion?

First of all, I have to say that I love the make up the top three girls are wearing! And second, I love the simple one bobby pin look. But I am torn because I have been planning ("for like ever", he he) to get my bangs cut. What is your opinion? Because, apparently "bangs are the new botox."

Are bangs a must?
Or is the bobby pin look for you?

And, any advice you have on what I should do with my hair would be nice too. P.S. here is a recent photo of what my hair is doing these days. (That profile photo is three years old! I know thats cheating, he he! And please disregard the weird expression on my face and the no make up look.) The last time I had my hair cut was more than 20 months ago. This "do" is just a grown out a-line bob, AACK it time for something new! Or is it? Have a great Thursday/May Day! :)
