Gift Card Holders!

Things have been so crazy these days but I'm trying to find some time to make some things. These little guys are easy and quick but before long I'm going to have to make some paintings!!

Tree!

We decided to get a tree this year. It's such a strange tradition but it sure is cozy and makes the house smell awesome!

Home Sweet Home

I don't mean to be a cat lady but it's nice to be back in the comfort of my own home after a quick visit to South Carolina.

Horse!

The horse I rode matched my outfit.

Nephew!!!

Westley!

So Much Happening!!!!!

Tonight I stopped by Shake It Records to drop off a poster for the next Crafty Supermarket coming up on November 20th and the grand reopening and one year anniversary of Fabricate coming up this Saturday, November 13th. I decided to pick up a new CD which I can't remember the last time that I bought a CD. I grabbed OK GO because of this video that I was forever ago and I haven't been able to get it out of my head.
While many of their songs sound like they should give Prince some credit in the liner notes, it's over all good and has a lot of awesome bonus features.

Nope, I Don't Like Halloween.

So there.

Giant Connect Four!

Remote Fail

Why keep the remote by the television Hyatt?!?! I just laid down.

Bad Veins Again

I remember the tiny stages.

This Room Is Awesome!

The Fillmore in San Francisco! This is my first show on the Bad Veins tour with Frightened Rabbit. Excited for this middle band to quit sound checking.

Sweet!

Ben met a girl at a Bad Veins show that painted her nails like my flower paintings on his box and Seb's drums. I feel honored.

Bye Bye Mandy

I'll miss you! Good luck in NYC!

Home

I feel really lucky today.

Fair Time!

Gillian Welch

She randomly took the stage at this bar we were drinking. Shocked and thinking about driving through Georgia wondering what I could listen to that my mom wouldn't hate so I Gillian on and mom sang along and it's one of my favorite memories ever despite the fact that we were driving to my grandmothers funeral. Also, I want a denim jump suit.

Oh Nashville!

Weekend Away!

Celebrating Alice's upcoming nuptials by heading to Nashville.

Love This Art Quilt!

Good Morning Dear...

...and deer.

Time's Up...

...so I guess I'm finished.

Ugh...Progress?

I think I'm hating it but I'm running out of time. After painting such small pieces for so long, I forgot how long it takes to paint more then 4x6 inches!

A Little More Progress

A Little Progress

4x6 Paintings

I've missed my 4x6 paintings! One of my favorite Fabricate customers commissioned me to do these paintings of her family for her. It's hard to tell what someone looks like from a photograph. I feel like people have so many sides and faces that can look so different from day to day. What someone looks like to me seems like it can be very different from someone else. I used to do a lot of self-portraits because I was just looking in the mirror to see if I was still there, but now I'm still just trying to figure out what I look like. It's an interesting challenge to try to capture what someone else looks like to their mother, wife, daughter. I hope I didn't mess up the image in her mind too much.

Fire

Fall is coming.

My Days Are Numbered

It's starting to cool down and my days of watering the garden while I snack on cherry tomatoes are fading away.

Progress!

Not sure.

What Are You Gonna Be?

I'm painting a board for a skate park fundraiser. Feeling kind of rusty tonight.
