funny face

I have been lucky enough to enjoy two girl's nights this week with a few of my favorite people. Lovely ladies, pizza, bad rom-coms and plenty of silliness make for the best medicine. What did I ever do to deserve such smart, beautiful, talented & special women for friends?

I am attempting to attack and pursue new inspirations. This is my first try. I realized after I began that I purchased the wrong clay. I'm not sure how this will end up turning out, but soon after I finish sculpting and carving and molding, it will be in my oven. I suppose then I will see how good of a job I did. I have no idea what I am doing.

Will I ever add up to everything I want to be?

Finally! Thank you to my dear friend Lara for helping to make my Rachel Comey boot dream come true.

Two things that I know I want for Christmas: A print of one of Carly Waito's gemstones and the bunny calendar by The Wild Unknown. I think I just might have to surprise myself with them.

I am cold. I want to be warm. Would it be crazy to go on my own?

help!

Perhaps this may be a little ambitious, but I am going to attempt to create my own version of this cute & cozy United Bamboo balloon coat. I need to find some pretty boucle wool fabric but am having a hard time finding some online. Does anybody know of any nice fabric sites I might be missing?

red heads

My friends from LA are doing a residency tour during the month of February. I illustrated their poster for them again, which is always a fun project since they give me full creative freedom! They will be staying at my place every Thursday night when they are playing in Seattle. I am really looking forward to seeing them so often. Usually they are here one night and have to pack up and go to their next destination, and I feel as though I am saying, "goodbye" just as soon as I've said, "hello". February, we are going to have so much fun!

Today, Ashley and I drove out to the countryside and embarked on a hunt for the perfect Christmas tree. We found it, chopped it down, and it now is standing proudly in our living room. Our apartment is full of it's wonderful scent, making this place feel more like home than ever. I cannot wait to string the lights tomorrow and cover it's branches in the ornaments our mom has been giving us every year since our births.
