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 [...]

Fancy Schmancy Stationery and thoughts on the Etsy stationery galaxy

Here’s the first demo pic of the new Fancy Schmancy Stationery (not posted on Etsy yet).
So as you know I was thinking a lot yesterday about starting back up with the whole stationery thing. I haven’t had any luck really with selling stationery on Etsy (there’s just so much out there) but I thought that [...]

Brainstorming Stationery

I’m still a little grumpy/sleepy from this morning when I woke up kind of early to get some paper work and a routine physical for the new day job. I’m not really in the mood right now to create something totally new. I’m sort of just contemplating what can be done with some of the [...]

Ahoy, Mr. Jellyfish

After spending kind of an absurd amount of time reading articles from the Onion today, I did manage to put the finish touches on that jellyfish I mentioned earlier. Nothing too fancy here, but still a fairly likeable little guy (especially for those of us who enjoy the aquarium). Not sure if I want to [...]

A Podtastic Day

And by “podtastic” I mean “annoyingly complicated and slightly clunky.” Who knew that starting a podcast would be this difficult? Not to say that it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done technologically, but it’s certainly not as easy as I had originally thought. I had this idea about just kind of keeping it simple and [...]
