get with it katie!

i am.

here are some things i have been working on since i last posted.

and...

i successfully ran two and a half miles! (in a month i went from not being able to run for a minute straight, all the way to 25 minutes straight)

and interviewed for a job i did not get. (i am not crying about it though)

i went to birthday parties! (3 glorious parties)

i made eggplant for papa for father's day. (and he got a chupacabra, one of the boys featured above)

i had my first anniversary! (the best year of my life)

i met my b. and i.'s new kitty. (olive)

i visited and was visited! (poor guests, i was a lame sick host)

i watched three fireworks from my backyard. (we were too sick to see real ones in public)

i had a week of vacation and spent it being sick. (sheesh)

i gave my husband and my papa terrible colds. (i am not proud of that though)

i got a job teaching arts and crafts to youngins! (not the one i did not get, i applied for two in one day and was 50% successful)

i started a quilt (i will show pictures later, pandora is sleeping on the pieces now)

Here They Come! Here They Come!

Sooner or later I will get sick of making the Saskies.

Obviously, that day has not yet arrived; although some new ideas have been swimming around my brain...

progress

running,

making sentences,

sleeping,

eating,

making things,
being happy because May is the best month of the year.

fotos of things made in may. descriptions are found on my flickr page. i don't want to be too redundant.

saskies.

the saskwatch making continues.

i am having a hard time sticking with one project.

half-way through something, i think of something sooooooooo awesome to make.

so i leave many projects half finished.

in order to feel somewhat accomplished, i have been making, and completing "plant saskies." this most recent one is a sad bodybuilder.

oh school vacation...

so much was accomplished in a short period of time. many bigfootbeasts and flowers were created, many walks were taken, and many dreams of quitting the day job were dreamt.

back to soft pictures.

A few years ago, I was really into making soft pictures by embrodering felt onto canvas or what not.

Well the old girl is back at it.

The flowers are not selling on etsy. I am blaming that on my shitty pictures I took. Soooooooo I needed to do something else before I go back to the flower business. Don't get me wrong, I will go back to it, I am thinking of doing craft fairs in the summer months when the tourists are swarming.

(As for etsy, I have taken new pictures of new work, but I just need to figure out how to rotate them on Joey's PC. PCs make everything a little more difficult.)

mama's haircut

so Uncle Jim sent me this picture of maam from back in the day. i really liked her hair-cut, so i decided to chop off 7 inches to get the same look.

it looked awesome the day i got it. but i always forget DO NO LAYER YOUR HAIR KATIE!!! holy crap, it just does not work for me. so next time i talk about getting a new style, remind me, that layers are not for me.
