So, it's officially going to be share-scrapbook-pages-I-haven't-shared-yet week, here! :) lol. Mostly because those are the only photos ready to go...
I have a design history presentation soon, a totally uninspiring, have-to-draw-it shaded drawing due, and it's deadline week at work, all in the next few days...lol. Ah! Drawing a shaded drawing that I have to draw (meaning, the subject and style are not what I would choose to do on my own) is challenging, so it's good in that sense...but sooo boring! I can't get into it.
Anyhoo, so here we are. Back in the swing of homework...
But yay, scrapbook stuff!
I made this page for American Crafts last month:
I haven't yet thought through/posted my goals, so I may be pretending that February 1st is January 1st soon (it feels like it, no?) - but one of them is definitely to learn how to knit! :)
For the occasion, I used yarn on the page for the stitching instead of my usual embroidery thread - I love the chunkyness of it! And I need to stop using this color combo, dude. Matches the blog again!
Oh my...I can't tell you how good it's felt to have been able to sleep in for the last two days. :) I've been getting back into the swing of things this week - balancing work & school - and I have to get up at 6:30 everyday for all 5 days, which is tough when bedtime is way later than it should be...heh. I have one day 'off' a week, this term (Sunday = homework day), so sleeping in is a luxury I'm taking full advantage of! Yay!
However, our heat/furnace isn't working in our already chilly basement apartment for the next few days (ugh!), so I'm cozied up with a hot chocolate by our new space heater drawing & reading, today. :) Gotta love that kind of homework...
And I have some craftyness to share, today!
I made this scrapbook page for October Afternoon last week using their new 'Farmhouse' line (you can see my post on the OA blog right here):
It snowed here last week (which is weird, for our rainy town), and the colder it gets the more I miss camping! lol. Really. This page is all about how it started to feel like a 'home away from home' for us this summer, since we camped so much!
Can't wait til the weather turns warm, again - how about you?
Happy weekend, friends!
I was born!
Crazyness. I still totally feel 17...but am happy that I'm not 17. lol.
If that makes sense?
Going to school with a bunch of fresh-out-of-highschooler's really puts stuff in perspective and makes me feel wise these days...but then I go home and act like a kid with the mister. hah. :)
All I really want to do today is relax, so I woke up at noon (heavenly!) to some husband-cooked bacon, I had a bath and read some Sookie Stackhouse, and we're about to go thrift shopping in the snow, have some cake, and I always hope for a fancy dinner on my birthday, too. But really, secretly, all I want is:

...to be covered in tattoos. :) lol.
No, really. I'm deciding what I finally want my quarter sleeve to be and I'm hoping to go book an appointment finally as soon as I can - it's been in my head for 3 years, now. Excited!! More about that, soon...
Have some cake for me, today! :)
