Randomly;

I have the Jurassic Park score stuck in my head...hah. I am doodling moustache paper tag and log earring ideas down while sitting here at work. I am obsessed with shrink plastic earrings, Oh my. I started embroidering this weekend and wow do I need hone some skills. I brought my hoop to the beach and let my inner grandma show...lol. (Z was sleeping, I needed something to do.) Dorky, yes. But fun. I started reading "The Secret Life of Bees" (finally got one copy, not a book-club bag of copies). Indulged in some Pirate Etsy goodness by way of shirts and necklaces. Blue nailpolish is in stores again - had a total flashback to junior high and grabbed some. I have 60 thousand ideas spilling out of my mind constantly on things to make; for the shop, for my friends, just for the hell of it...lol. I was feeling odd thinking I must be the only artsy person working like a madman for a moment and then I realized that most of us art-as-a-career people do work 24/7 - I forgot where I was put in check and reminded that it's not just crazy me...lol...

This weekend was fab and there are tan lines and sunburnt noses to prove it. Ahh...Stocked up on crafty supplies. Was going to go clothes shopping finally, but then realized that would mean not sleeping in for at least one day on the weekend (uh, the only time to sleep in there is) so I scrapped that and slept...but now the weather is freakin hot and I have no clothes you wear when its hot...lol. Argh. This week! There was a no-car festival yesterday here so we walked around, caught some rays at the beach, just relaxed.

On Saturday we saw Sex and the City (finally!!) and I thought it was awesome! That conversation where Big and Carrie decide to get married was totally Z and I...lol...and we also had the same after-ceremony gourmet diner food. hah. I guess we just skipped all that stuff-I-won't-spill-if-you-haven't-seen-the-movie yet that happens in the middle there. =) Before that, Z's dad treated us to a celebration dinner - a deck, yummy food, a bottle of white wine, and expresso cheesecake = one happy night. =) (Thank you!!)

Sooo excited to have fabric in my little hands again - little known fact: I wanted to be a fashion illustrator/designer for the longest time and started sewing when I was like 7 (thanks to my lovely mom!)....the last thing I made was a super-tailored bustier/suit jacket in highschool (okay, I've made some pillow covers and simple quilts since then...). But sewing, I mean really sewing something awesome and usable is great. The urge to sew comes in phases for me and it seems a new one is coming!

Do I have a picture for you today? Hmm...Here's a few from Bowen Island last weekend:

Yes, it looks like November....so grey! Can't wait to go back there when its sunny and rent some kayaks...=) It's not usually like this at all in summer....we hadn't worn that many warm clothes even in the winter, here, forever!!

Anyway, I just finished making a super-cute digi kit that will be released on Wednesday last night...I love it to bits! I can't wait to share it!! I'm still having so much fun learning as I go about designing digi stuff ; that's the way I like it - jump in with a general idea and gain a whole bunch of hands-on knowledge while you go. Ahhh, fun...

Happy day, all!
