DIGITAL GRATITUDES 5.20.08 explained

So, as crazy as it seems to thank the digital media we all abhor so vehemently from time to time,
I must take this day to do so, because they have allowed me to create good things.

Today, I finished the designs for FEVER THEATERs new website, and I am very happy!

Thank you, macintosh.
Thank you, adobe.
Thank you, color and form and pen and ink.

I am grateful.
for you.

gratitudes 5.11.08

FIRST and foremost gratitude:
MY MOM!!

no joke, friends, my mom is THE BEST you can get.  I know you all think you're moms are great, etc etc.  But I am here to say that my mom is the most energetic, infectious, happy, giving, and gracious woman I know.  Her ability to lighten and brighten the lives around her is astounding!
I love you, Mama.

On the same subject, there are a few other moms I'd like to give second place to:
Rachel Garfield, you are my most beautiful second mom.  I'm so glad you are a part of my life.
Pat Murphy, you will always be the second mom of my childhood, the beach, and the earth.  I'd still be terrified of bugs if it weren't for you:)

THANK GOODNESS FOR MOTHERS!!!

Ok, I've found myself!
In Blue, with feathers and unwashed hair....that is me.  That is where I belong.
Why is this always such a struggle for me?

I LOVE having these beautiful pieces of nature slightly attached to me...even if only with bobby pins:)

Wye, you get this one...

I'm not sure what to tell you folks, I just felt GREAT today!!!  And following are a few reasons why....

In clearing out our house for our departure in June, I felt compelled to the scraps of fabric I got from SCRAP to make something.  But what?  Well, after trying to fit all of my travel shampoo and toothpaste into a really hideous, but free, Estee Lauder teal blue make-up bag, I knew what I must do.

Now I have a medicine cabinet full of soft, handmade bags to hold my things....
Hurray!!!  I've never made anything like it before--so having them turn out was truly a miracle!


A tiny one for my moon cup...:)
yeah, i'll promote it....



And for the grand finale....
I made this one for Wyatt.  He's in los angeles at the moment, so he doesn't know about it yet....
shhh.....

it's got a clam on it....

he's got his head in the piano and his feet in the movies......

then there're some pictures from school.  I was feeling a bit nostalgic knowing I only have one more month at Maplewood Elementary.  

And then there's Fever Theater....and their new show: New Believers.
