That’s one big bunny

I’ll be the first to tell you that I am a huge fan of classic marshmallow Peeps as a year-round delicacy, though I tend to enjoy them mostly during holidays like Easter. Unfortunately, it kept slipping my mind to run out and grab a box or three during the week. And not being one who [...]

Splish Splash

I was always aware that vendors on Etsy sometimes do fun trades with one another, kind of like a bartering system. I had never done one before until recently when I was contacted by Patty, the wonderful lady behind Pixie Soap.

I’m so darn glad that my very first trade went well. I was a little [...]

We’re on Keepsake Couture!

First of all, apologies for my recent lack of posts. I’m really going to try and keep myself on a kind of semi-regular posting schedule, though the main problem hasn’t really been not having enough time but rather not having anything to post about. Generally I like to post about what I’m doing today in [...]

Sally Calls on Saturday

Whew. It’s been a busy week. As most of you know, I started a new job on Monday and so I’ve been a bit remiss in my blogging and designing lately. I guess I’m still in transition–going from being on my own very loose schedule to a regular, 9-5 schedule is pretty jarring. I’m really [...]

New Job an Excuse to Shop

Unfortunately, no new art-type news today. I’ve been a little bit busy, you see.
Today and Monday have been spent primarily in New Employee Orientation for the new full-time gig. Nothing too interesting to say, really. Nothing beats attending a two-day orientation about things like insurance and health benefits when all you really want to do [...]

Fun at the Asian Food Store!

I know, I know… I’m a bad Philippina because I’ve never visited my local Asian grocery. I don’t really have an excuse–it’s like ten minutes from my apartment. But the truth is that I never really cook anything (I’m more of a baker) so I figured, “Why bother?” Today my sister and I were running [...]

Little Deer Painting in Progress

Last night I finished the background for the little deer painting. As you know, I started with a “stencil” that I had expanded and printed out from a digital illustration of mine, then colored it in with pink.
I filled in the brown background last night. I know I must be pretty rusty when it comes [...]

Fun with Silhouettes, Part Deux

Here’s what happened with those little bird silhouettes from earlier. Not bad, really. The set actually looks pretty cute. As soon as the big bucks start rolling in from the new job, I plan on getting these babies framed so I can hang them all in an arrangement similar to the one in this [...]
