OHAI!


OHAI! Multitasking!


It’s been awhile since I’ve updated with a capstone, post, or random photos. My life has been busy recently and balancing it and work has precedence over blogging.

life + work > blogging

Now, after typing that, I have to say blogging capstones is one of my favorite things to do. I recognize that the accompanying text is less than thrilling but I imagine most visitors come here for the pretty pictures and giveaways :) .

Life

If you’ve seen this post you know where I’ve been spending a bit of my time. In addition to that a friend got married! So, I had to search around for a dress. I settled on a blue midi tea dress with humming birds on it from asos.

It’s cute, comfy, modest and most importantly washable and dry-able!

I took a few photos at the wedding but as I have no idea how she would feel about them being posted here I won’t include them out of respect for her privacy.
Instead. Enjoy this photo of Elvis and R2D2.

The Giveaway

The winner of the winner of the second moon-gem.com Iwako Eraser Puzzle Giveaway never came forward :( . I’ve been pondering what to do but it doesn’t seem fair to give the erasers away to someone else. So, I will keep the prizes around for a year, or until I hear back from the winner.

If you didn’t win, never fear, there are more erasers and another giveaway on the way. Trust me. These eraser puzzles practically grow on trees here.

Things to look forward to


+ Giveaways
+ Possible book sale haul (unless books cost more than a quarter)
+ Capstones
+ Blogging more than once a month (hopefully)

Summer Breeze


Summer Breeze.


Today’s capstone is another outfit inspired image with a teddy bear/ rilakkuma clone visitor :) . Looking at it now I think I might go back and edit the hands. It looks like I got lazy and added a stuffed animal to avoid drawing the hands… but they are there (simplistic but there).



The pastel heart earrings remind me of all the cheap and cute earrings I had growing up. The sort of ones I wish I hadn’t lost or let tarnish. I don’t think I ever owned anything quite as cute though :3 .

Heat Wave


Heat Wave

Today there was a bit of a storm! Water started seeping in under the front door and I ran about preparing supplies in case a tornado watch or warning was issued for the area. However, other than a bit of rain and wind there wasn’t any major damage.

Due to the unexpected storm the “heat wave” capstone is a bit later than I thought it would be. I didn’t intend for it to be posted on the 4th of July so it isn’t exactly patriotic but it kind of has a sort of picnic look to it :D .

I was inspired to start sketching the “heat wave” capstone a couple of days ago when it was particularly hot… of course the original sketch had a pair of boots in the corner and a guinea pig frolicking in The Brunette’s hair but sometimes I have to trim my own projects down so I can give attention to other work :D .

The capstone features the Glimmered Piperita Dress from Anthropologie and an ancient red and white cooler that used to be in my basement.

I wanted to do a giveaway for my visitors. I envisioned a gift card or a nice item… but since, well, I’m a practically a starving artist, my giveaway is guinea pigs. To be more specific I am giving away icons or images inspired by my faithful sidekick Lunches.

If you decide to use them just give me credit and if you can’t use them…I understand. Guinea pigs aren’t for everyone :3 .
