pretty little things

Today i am off to the studio to put finishing touches on my stuff. this sunday is noise pop shop. i have links and pictures that i will post tonite. please check back. i will also post pictures of my owls. i want to keep them but that would be greedy. i'll be taking them with me to 12 galaxies. i better get to work.

when it rains, it pours.

every day for the last i don't know how long, I've been meaning to post on my blog. it has been far to long. i have pictures and stuff. so much stuff and finished projects that i can't keep up. so i have decided to start over. well kind of.
i have an upcoming show in North Carolina in this rad design store. i got into noise pop shop in San Fransisco, i have more ideas then time. I'll get links and updates as they come to me and post them. I'm getting more computer literate. i need to get more computer literate. i mean i really need to. these things take time.
i have a good friend that is going to modify my website so it is easier for me to keep it current. I'm very excited.
oh and we are in the middle of moving. when it rains, it pours. which it has been doing a lot of. for several days now it has been sunny. this makes it very hard not to be outside digging in the dirt.
enough of me rambling. time to get to the studio and make more art.

revisit the tundra and friends

i finally have pictures for you of the tree sweater-ing in south dakota. i'm very pleased on how well the pictures came out. i need to contact my friends to find out if they are all still up.
the very sweet softies are from the product development i did for serena and lily. i heart them. i hope you do to.

new studio

happy day! oh happy day! today was the second day in my new studio. it has window, and i can see trees. i love my new studio. it is small and full of creative power.
yesterday i designed a new doll and today i designed another doll. i made several of each in a variety of colours. they are so cute it hurts. they are going to be published in a book. I'll get some pictures up one of these days. any way the one doll is a boy/girl in a bear suit and they like my friend Brooke and my sweet baby sister. i need to make some with pigtails. the other is an owl based on a painting i made for my show at Maude some time back. i sold the painting and i miss it terribly. but i think art needs to go out into the world. so i made this funny linen owl with psychedelic eyes and stitched belly. i think i like them more then the painting, cuz they are squeeezable. well that is all i know for now.

arctic tundra

greetings to all. i just got back from a week of cold, white, mid western goodness. my husband and i spent this holiday season with my family in north west Iowa. we also spent time in Vermilion South Dakota were i went to university.
there is something both beautiful and strange about Vermilion. it was like i never left. things don't seem to change there. there is a great coffee shop, were i worked for ever, and a rad thrift store called the civic council. not to mention really nice people that i love.
we went to the civ and it was half price day. yippee:D i bought a bunch of stuff that i assembled and Will and Krista helped me install. stay tuned for pictures and maybe a short film.
we mostly walked around and hung out at Krista and Noah's new house. it is an old victorian on the bluff. it was so beautiful. i got so inspired. the sun was so bright it shot laser beams into my brain. I'm super charged. there are more details and such but i'll explain more once the pictures are up. happy new year!

one friend, two friend, bunny friend

welly, welly, well. ever since thanksgiving life has been a blur. Retail hell has started at the yarn shop, I joined black mountain artisan coop, and Serena and Lily contacted me to replicate some friends. did i mention that I was sick and have no idea what has happened in the last week.
well any way I've been busy.
I'm super excited about the coop. I met the other members last Thursday . It is a great group of ladies. black mountain artisans is a retail shop out in Point Reyes Station. I'll be working three days a month in the store. I let you know if anything exciting happens.
My most favorite thing that happened is working on the 'friends' project again. Back in August/September I did some product development for this really nice company called Serena and Lily. I took drawings that Serena had made and developed them into the sweetest dolls ever. There is a bear, lamb, and rabbit. Turns out they needed a new set asap and I'm in the process of making them. I finished the bear today and got a good start on the rabbit. I have a lot of embroidering to do tomorrow. I'll post pictures of little darlings when I have the new ones finished.
If that isn't enough I have three sweaters i'm knitting. I'll surprise model them when I'm done. yikes and I still need to reinstall my tree sweater. I'm getting tired just thinking about it.
