funky upholstry

Words can not express how happy the anthropologie furniture collection makes me.

First Print Sold!

So I'm finally legit as a textile designer! One of my leaf prints sold to Jerry Seinfeld's ex girlfriends clothing line Shoshanna.

I also purchased a Moonblood shirt with the money I made.

Simplify

Ernest Hemingway once said his best work was a story he wrote in just six words: 'For sale: baby shoes, never worn.'

Let's keep it brief.

Life Update

I went to Kentucky for Spring Break and worked with the organization Christian Outreach to Appalachian People or COAP. Forty of us drove down and lived in cabins in the mountains, rehabbed old and built new houses. We painted, roofed, constructed, put up siding, and moved around a lot of dirt for the people of Harlan Kentucky, a poor coal mining town on the border of VA. It was nice to not get cell phone reception and be away from my computer. Not to mention hiking up mountains, playing ultimate frisbee by a huge lake listening to God in the quiet and learning a lot about a new way of life. It was beautiful. I love getting away with amazing people and serving together.

Art in the Age

Loving the new shirts from Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction based out of philly.

What $1.25 buys you

I totally jacked Luke's new Vermont style. I saw these pants in k-mart and they were priced at $1.25. They looked ridiculously similar to a pair that Luke wears and I've commented on. It was perfect.


The wet spot on my right leg is from climbing on Molly's roof trying to get in since she forgot her keys last night. It was quite the evening.

Now I'm off to Kentucky for spring break to build houses for habitat and Jesus.

Shoes

Shoes I made last semester in screen printing.

Thanks

Thank you to everyone who made this such a sweet birthday of thoughtful presents, fabulous discussions, and bizarro board games. I like being 22.

When I grow up

Today I want to be a carpenter. I'm over all this computer stuff.

What to do?

Sharyn, Greg and I were having a very serious discussion tonight in the studio. We're nearing graduation and the whole world is open to us, so we decided that this world is not enough and that since the new space station is done we're moving there.

Designers in SPACE!

BABY!

Today was Paige's baby shower. She's the first of my friends to be pregnant, and is one of the coolest sweetest people I know. I went to the Vans store and decided the coolest kid ever needs to cutest shoes of life.

Biracial Eggs

I decided today that I needed to make a statement by integrating my eggs...break down the color lines. I made a biracial omelet and it was delicious.

In Love

I'm in love with these handmade note cards from oldschool children's books. Check out art school girl.

Cow tipping is so old school

Lets go smart car tipping.

I turned on the TV today and synchronised figure skating was on.



That is why I should not watch TV.

where I want to live

I could totally live in one of these .

Thanks Danielle for the sites.

Food

Tonight I decided it would be a great idea to make my own fried rice. I ended up using every pan in the kitchen, making a mess, and ended up after slaving away, ending with some pretty decent fried rice. Then I realized how silly this all was considering how cheap it is to buy fried rice from my local #1 Chinese. I also made a wierd connection between my design and the way I cook. I like to improvise, everythings a little messy and it usually ends up pretty good.

Other news
My new favorite show is Man vs Wild where this hot British guy gets dropped off into the middle of the wilderness by plane with only a flint stone and a nalgene and has to show you how to survive. I like it when he eats bugs and makes rafts. He's my hero.

Life is 90% maintenance

I was standing in the bathroom plucking my eyebrows, one of my least favorite things to do, when the words of my mom resounded in my head. Life is 90% maintenance. So annoying. My car won't start and is sitting in my driveway, I'm watching the style network finding out what new makeup and clothes I'm supposed to be adding to my wardrobe, and figuring out where my next rent check is coming from. Our we really mean business website is requiring more and more work, I have class projects piling up, and I need to trek to the review (school newspaper) to collect and redo ads for this week. I'm ready for that 10% payoff.
