Long Time No See. Let's Fix That.



It has been far too long since I have made a post. I apologize. I guess I abandoned revealing my hopes and realities to the public in exchange for privacy in my handwritten journal. Here I am... ready to get back into this blogging thing again. I hope that it will keep my super positive mentality momentum going. Here's to being productive in a simple way that keeps joy in my heart.

Love and Light!

This is it. This is me.

So, let's sum up the last few months...

Broke up with Ryan. Found myself. Got really poor. Worked stupid jobs. It was all worth it because I love my new job and everything is going to be okay! Hurrah!

Pictures, you ask? Here you go:

[Finally photos of my apartment, almost the way I always dreamed it would be.]
 The very first branch mobile. I love it so very much. If anyone is interested in one... please let me know. They will be very reasonably priced depending on size of mobile of course.

 This particular one is pretty large. I cut out strips of paper from the pages of an old yellowed book for a nice weathered look and decoupaged them on. This took the most time of course. Feathers, wooden beads, and hand carved and painted wooden birds. Wish I could say I made the beads and birds but I did not. 

 Clutter!!

 Same mobile sitting in a vase. 

 Winter time can be quite lovely. It makes me want to stay inside and enjoy my apartment more. Cozying up on the couch with the pups, reading Sylvia Plath, drinking coffee or tea... maybe a beer or glass of wine depending on my mood. What could be better than that?

This little section of my apartment in my dining room cheers me up.

Glass beads. Lovely!! (New line of mobiles. White painted branches and leaves.)

Just like this photo. 


DOGS!
 Coconut is such a lady!

Moonbeam pretends to be such a lady. This only translates well and fools you in photos... not so much IRL.


 Moonbeam likes to do this most of the time. Sitting on Coconut is the bees knees!


Wish this photo weren't so blurry. Coconut looks like a woodland creature with antlers!



This is my new neighbor, Luke, enjoying MB's company. Here he is wearing his favorite shirt. Luke likes music of all kinds, dance parties, playing my guitar, youtubes and updating his facebook.


Ju-Crys-mas! 

This year I spent Christmas with the lovely Julia and we had a Ju-Crys-mas. Here is Julia learning how to chop veggies. Good job, Julia. 

 We made a vegetarian dinner consisting of Nut Loaf, Baked Mac n Chz, broiled Asparagus. We drank Grasshopperz and Malbec. We devoured Razzleberry Pie with French Vanilla ice cream. 'Twas nothing but the very best time with a very best friend.

 Julia Facebooking, drinking a grasshopper, wearing my unicorn horn from Halloween.

Birds of a feather flock together.

A mobile I made Julia for Christmas. 


Christmasssssssssss.



I like making veggie dinners.
 This is the easiest most delicious salad on the planet. Vine ripe tomatoes, avocado, lemon juice, chives.
Malbec, Butter Thyme Butternut Squash, Rissotto Asparagus. 


Dead things.
 Dead birds at the field museum.

Taxidermist tools of the trade.


THE END.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Things are a mess again but I can fix it. I will fix it.
