New stuff at the supah shop!





Go team.

WTF!?: Kidnapping Summer Specials goin on NOW!!

Well! The art sale was going wonderfully for the first two hours when a biiiiiig black cloud appeared on the horizion and killed it! As Brandy has stated- these things are hit-or-miss. This was a miss and it only got crazier as the evening went on. All hell broke loose. We rushed to our cars with all the products (I was following Adam over a foot bridge) when the rain started. It felt like 500 shower heads all pointed at me. I got totally wet and I couldn't see. People behind me were yelling to get out of the way, but I was carrying a bunch of paintings on a foot bridge in a park and was completely blinded by the rain. Every time I blinked more rain fell directly in my eyes! It was scary because there was a lot of lightning too. Thankfully I had left my aluminum easel by our "booth". Well anyways, to make a long story shorter- I blindly waddled and felt my way to my car- my white skirt got ruined, I could feel the heat off of a very close lightning bolt and of course I had to pee. Luckily all the artwork was ok. BUT when we got home to Niles, we found that there was tree schrapnel all over the streets and when we got to our house there were two trees down on the power line outside our house, with the pole cracked in half and leaning towards our house and two transformers in the driveway. It was 100% insane. This is why I haven't been able to report about the art show since Wednesday! Ugh! That night at 4am there was a man outside our window with a chainsaw chopping up the trees. It's all good now. Check out the pic from the morning after:On the far right is the tree from across the street, in the middle you can see parts of the second tree and the broken telephone poll... needless to say we were extremely lucky we weren't home because we would have lost one or both of our cars from the transformer thingies that fell off of that poll and landed in the driveway. They are still cleaning up the whole city, and some hillbilly guy came along yesterday and took a bunch of the wood (I imagine he's going to make clocks out of it or something). Life is good.

This weekend was all work getting ready for the art fair tomorrow... I am working on pillow covers to add to our products, they were tons of fun. Printing is fun! Sewing is a drag but only because I'm not good at straight lines and I lost the bobbin winding instructions for my sewing machine. Doh! I figured it out eventually. I'll have the finished results up soon, but I liked these above photos because they just kinda looked fun.

Here's one of our roses. I have never grown roses before, and it's pretty rewarding and cool!

The Candy Bar Caper

All Canadian - All White - All Squirrel

Next Wednesday I'm going to be participating in the Kamm Island Festival as a vendor. I'm a little nervous never having done an art fair style event, but I'm going to have lots-o-new stuff and that's exciting. Hope it doesn't rain!

I think Adam should get this tattooed on his back at 60% life size.

Dog Powered Scooters

New goofy painting alert! I don't have this in the supah shop yet, but soon...

My daddio is a surveyor who always used these neeto little green surveyor templates for work. I used to love his little graph paper books, the plumb bob, pin point perfect shorthand and mechanical pencils. They were off limits, but I still thought they were cool. Anyhow I found this funny just for fun template that I thought you would enjoy.

The cats lie on the floor and look like they're dead or hypnotized. Flat and stretched out. They get this way in the summertime. It must be because it's cooler on the floor and not moving a muscle helps them to not get overheated. I've been thinking about cutting my hair. It hangs down all the way to my butt and all i ever do to it is put it in a ponytail or bun. I've had this hairstyle since highschool with or without bangs. I used to want that vidal sassoon mod bob haircut so freakin' bad, but I never met anyone that could cut it right. This is one of the only other hairstyles I've had in the last 15 years. Maybe i'll try that out again or cut my own. I cut adam's and he seems pretty happy about it. If i could look at my own head the way i can when i do adam's hair- i would be in great shape. It's going to be a challange. I'll post a report with whatever happens.

I like this David Byrne Portrait. I also like these illustrations of Nugent vs. Morrissey and Janet Reno.

Have a 300% DokiDoki Day!

Adam & I had a big debate over his face in this photo. His claim was that he was actually smiling. My claim was that he was making his "squishy face" which I have often witnessed when I'm taking a picture of him. You decide. Here's a detail and examples of past "squishy faces":

Favorite Brando quote:

"I'm not fat by nature. I got fat mostly because I loved brownies, ice cream and everything else that makes you fat. One reason for this, I suspect, is that when I was a kid, I'd come home to find my mother gone and dishes in the sink. I'd feel low and open the icebox, and there would be an apple pie, along with some cheese, and the pie would say: "C'mon, Marlon, take me out. I'm freezing in here. Be a pal and take me out, and bring out Charlie Cheese too." Then I'd feel less lonely.

I love curry. Ever since I tried this recipe for pumpkin chowder.
Tonight I try out Curry Chicken with my first time making basmati rice. Wish me luck, but I'm sure it's going to be awesome because I love curry.
