ok, two more!

hello again, felt! i love you!

i have a table now in my studio/craft room and adam and i got a router now we can use wireless. i really like my room! i spent all day in here yesterday and i plan on spending most of today in here too! the room is still kind of a mess though. i still have boxes on the floor with some stuff in them. oh well. i'll empty them soon enough.

i was productive yesterday. i made two more felt pals and a new heart badge. although, i kind of hate it. the colors aren't right. but that is besides the point because, oh man, you guys, i made this:
it's a mini wall hanging of the littel dog thing i've been drawing. i'm not that crazy about the little outfit. it started out as an attempt to make a little lab coat type deal, but it was too small and didn't work out. the whole thing, not including where the wire sticks up is a little shy of 2 inches. so i guess, if you really wanted to, you could wear it as a pendent.

i love working on small stuff. it's so delicate and fun. i'm really not sure how i have the patience. but i do.

i can't remember right now how the conversation started, but a few weeks ago i was telling adam how much i love the though of animals doing people things. and how much i loved the idea of little animals in animal armor. so i started doing little drawings on some scrap cardboard that we had laying around. i just keep drawing this little dog thing. i think i want to do a series of tiny portraits with tiny fancy frames. it feels good to have a bunch of new ideas. i feel like i have a couple different directions that i could go in with some new projects.

i would like to get some more paint markers and some more colored paper. yep!

moving and such

so i no longer live in maine. it's a little bit of a weird feeling, but i'm doing much better than i had ever expected. adam and i have a really great house and things are coming along nicely. we don't have internet yet, so i've been coming to adam's work for a few hours at night to use the internet here.

i just ate some cookies and donut. they were delicious!

so i've had a fair amount of time on my hands and i've been working on these cross stitch kits that i bought over a year ago. i saw them and it cracked me up so much. they are from some sort of career series for like..nurses, doctor, policemen...etc... and then there are really nice things written around the edges like.."helpful" "considerate" blah blah blah.

i bought a nurse one and a doctor one and decided against putting the words around the edges because i thought that it would be really funny to have two cross stitched pieces hanging on the wall that are of needles, crutches, pill bottles, stethiscopes, etc...

anyway, i finished the nurse one and i'm working on the doctor one, the images are what they will look like when i finish them. (i cropped out the words around the edges) adam seems to get as big a kick out of them as i do. so that's good!

i think that tomorrow i 'm am going to go look for a table for my very own craft room/studio! i haven't used the room at all yet because i have no table! i can't wait to be able to sit at it and make stuff. i have been getting some really cool ideas. not to mention some mini drawings i've been working on.

we have rabbits that play in our yard all day and birds and fat chipmunks who stare in our bedroom window (sliding glass door). it's awesome. i really like where we live. seriously. bunnies. all over. it's amazing. wisconsin, you are a funny, funny place. you're so nice and so flat (which still kind of freaks me out, i'm not used to wide open space unless it's the ocean) and all your trees lean to one side because of the wind!

oh, wisconsin!
