New Banner
I have a picture in my mind of what I'd like my top banner to look like, but I haven't figured out how to make it yet. So, until I learn a little more about my computer, and what she can do, I posted what I came up with today!

I Spy
I've still got so much work to do on Christmas presents, but am so excited for giving them out! Two of my siblings have birthdays the first week of January, so I've got a little more work to go on those guys. Tomorrow will be a big wrapping day, making fabric bags for the gifts. The best is bringing it all home and putting them under the tree!

Room Transformation, the Beginning.
Now, I would really like to paint the room a different color... I didn't get the right color when I started. Different artwork over the bed, and headboard made. And, nightstands painted.

Happy Holidays?
For a laugh, at the end of the season I made two snowmen with a sad face, can you find him? One lives at the studio, and one lives at our house. Talk about limited edition!

Scent Obsession

Last week I walked to the Minneapolis Institute of Art for some inspiration. I go there from time to time to visit a couple of my favorite paintings. (perhaps more about that some other time) my POINT today is what I found at the gift shop. As you may have guessed, it is the candle pictured above. When you smell this candle, you'll think you were transported to the middle of a forest of Cedar and Fir trees. I can't stop thinking about this candle. I want one, and I want it now!
I thought I could live without it, I even shopped around for a less expensive alternative. But, at the end of the day, nobody has a candle that smells like this one. The thing that makes this candle extra special, is that it's made right here in Minnesota! Check it out! www.illumecandles.com

projects
These are some bags I made real quick the other day for my boyfriend sean, who has been collecting seeds to plant next spring.
I also got a new desk (thanks to whomever left it for me by the dumpster in the alley!) AND made cushions for the bench seat in the entry way. (formerly a place where we piled junk) Hooray for fall "nesting" mood!

Lets get these blogs back on their feet! Working full time (two half-time jobs) has got me re-prioritizing my time.
Here are some things I've been up to, that I should update on my blog:
1. starting a garden with Sean from SEED!
2. cleaning out my sunroom, a new way of life... decreasing clutter!
3. a makover for my sister, Anna's room
4. new pots of flowers, from the farmer's market
5. I just made my first ever PIES!
6. My new jobs!
7. new bike!
8. sculptures made in a workshop
9. wedding flowers!!
Ok.. so just a few things but I'd better get a move on!

Magical Movies




Movies that you can walk out and think..."magical" they are my favorite. Here, I've got pictures from Amelie (favorite movie of all time), The Series of Unfortunate Events, Stranger Than Fiction, and Finding Neverland. I appreciate every little detail that goes into these movies.. the artistic vision, lighting, costumes, imagination.... go rent yourself a magical movie and see what I mean!

Felted Wool Beads
The next shot is a close-up of the "before" beads of wound up wool.
The last shot is felted wool beads complete! The wool shrinks and takes shape, and is ready to become a bracelet or whatever you can imagine! Fun! Thanks mom!

Dash & Albert Rugs

I am literally swooning over these rugs today. The colors, textures, and patterns are just.... just... mmmmm. beautiful. swoon. See them here. Or, stop by Victory like I did, on 44th and Beard in Linden Hills.

Silver Fusing
This week I learned how to fuse silver, something I've always wanted to know how to do. Sterling silver has some alloys added to it to make it stronger, and therefore won't fuse when melted together. Fine silver (what we were using) is 99.9% silver and will melt together when heated with a blow torch.
Take a peek at what I made this week...

Happy Day!
Happy Valentines Day!
To celebrate, I made honey cookies! (they are like sugar cookies, but instead of sugar, you add honey)
I topped off the day by splurging on some hot pink tulips, and soft pink sweetheart roses for me and the boy. Sweet!

Toast and Tea!
There's nothing more comforting to me than a hot cup of tea and a piece of toast with raspberry jam or a little honey....
My favorite teapot lately is this bee house teapot.
You can find them here. Wouldn't this beautiful blue one look nice on my desk??
