Home, home

Came home, picked up all of the clothes which were thrown on the floor. Folded them and put them neatly in an empty basket. Then I found a broken baby/kid picture of me on the floor. Picked that mess up. Swept the floor for any glass and dirt. Why just my picture? I don't know. Maybe it was an accident. Who knows. Hoping tomorrow will be better.

I've made a bunch of badges lately, but I won't be posting them up until I can get my Etsy shop up and running. I'm open for any requests though! So far I'm thinking: More Pokemon stuff Marvel and Capcom More Hayao Miyazaki stuff Video game stuff Bikes And brands

Made a felt Totoro badge. Attached a pin to the back of it. I love my Totoro, I think I'll do Catbus next.. Eek! I'm so excited!

Made a felt Pokeball badge. Attached a pin to the back of it. I'm very happy with how it came out, I'm working on the other Pokeballs at the moment.

Gotta catch'em all!

Made a felt Sugar Skull and make a cute little bow. All hand stitched and made from felt. Took an hour or so.

Made an UP Ellie Grape Soda Badge for Kevin. We watched UP for our very first date. He made a grape soda pin for me while we were dating. When we went to Disneyland for our 2 year anniversary, we bought the collectors grape soda pins. And now I've made him a little gift. I used felt in purple, dark and light grey and white. This took me a 4-5 hours because I was watching tv at the same time, heh. It isn't perfect, but it is my first time hand stitching felt. Enjoy!

Thanks for the adventure. Now go have a new one.

I said I would do it. And I did. Mini Portal Companion Cube Pillow. It's so teeny! Enjoy! It's 4x4 and made with poly-fil, fleece and felt.

Started out by trying to explain to my students how to curl and quill and ended up drawing Minnie Mouse. Pencil and then Pigma Micron 03 in black. Not perfect, but I think it's pretty good from using just a reference picture. My kids keep asking me if I copied or traced it even though they SAW me draw it. Haha.

I miss Disneyland so much.

Taken by Justin Florentz. We went riding in SF and took some pictures on the pier in April of 2010. He was testing out his HDR skills and I was posing for fun. You can see Alcatraz in the background.

Thanks best friend!

Made this Portal Companion Cube Pillow for my bf. It's on a 14x14 pillow and it's a cover(meaning that it can be removed and washed). It's made of felt and fleece. All supplies purchased from Jo-Ann Fabrics & Crafts. I won't disclose how much it cost me to make it because it was a gift and le bf is very good at the interwebz. But it was much faster than ordering it from Etsy.

I still have left over material and will make another, much smaller, cube in the future so I can do a 'How To'. It was very easy to make and I did not use any references beside a picture. The freehand sewing isn't the best, but I was in a rush. 

He almost cried when he got it. Hah, boys.

Drew this on my hand about 1-2 years ago. I love all of these 5 things and especially kitty cats. This is also the inspiration for my recent nail polish design, Meow. Used Pilot Easy Touch Fine in Black and went over it again in Pigma Micron 03(?). My mom got scared that I went out at got this tattooed.. how silly. If I got it tattooed, then I couldn't draw on my hand anymore!

Glasses, lipstick, brass knuckles, beer, bikes, and cats. Yes.

Drew this little matryoshka inspired girl/doll in January. It was a fairly cold day and I wanted to draw a fluffy jacket. I love babushka/matryoshka dolls ever since I was little and would watch PBS and see those stop motion short films. Used Pilot Easy Touch Fine in Black.

Isn't she fancy?

Drew some japanese style waves on my hand last year. Got bored waiting for my class to start and I looked up some waves and this is my first EVER attempt at drawing these. Sorta like it, hehe. Used Pilot Easy Touch Fine in Black and went over it again in Pigma Micron 02.

I do this a lot(drawing on my hand that is).

Drew this on my hand 2 years ago. Used my favorite Pilot Easy Touch Black in Fine (ONLY FINE, I'm a pen freak) and went over it again in Pigma Micron 03(?). Basically 5 of my favorite nouns(you know people, place, things, etc.).

Drew a Kittenbus on my hand. Oh how I love Catbus and Kittenbus. I will get a tattoo of this someday.
