why not an orange friday? you kind find lots of cool one-of-a-king gifts on etsy, and you'll be supporting independent artists!

here is an action shot! my friend kathy knit the cowl and i beaded the button. I seem to be going through my blue period, as I suppose artists are wont to do.

beads embroidered on ultrasuede.

today was a good day. even though i had a sore throat and an earache. i finished this brooch and listed it on etsy. at work i cataloged 32 venetian glass bottles, 4 mid century modern lamps, a glass sculpture by a czech artist, and 2 victorian doorstops.

right now i am listening to Dreams of Rio from zbs.rg.

it was a good weekend but went by far to quickly! i am glad next week is a short one. i had a great massage today and then jesse and i had lunch and ran some errands. i got a new dvd player as i seem to have acquired the gift of making them die :( anyhow. then i came home and whipped up these pillow cases for a friend's birthday. she likes owls. ok it took longer than it should have and i had to redo a seam due to sheer lack of right sides together! but the end result is cute. i think i will pay bills and then draw now.

last night was our company holiday party at the ruins. it's a really neat members only club with quirky lush art and decor. the food was good, the music was good, the company was good, and the lemon drops were excellent. i will have to put my dress back on and get jesse to take some pictures, it was pretty and i made a necklace to match it. we had a good time but are both sort of tired today. not hung over, just tired. and this, we agree, is one of the reasons we seldom drink and don't have much. (we each had one and a half lemon drops.) we watched some dvds today and i drew. i could just draw all day every day, i think, and not get tired of it.
