Halloween Preview

Last year was a bloody zombiefest.

We had no shame in our ripped jeans, popped collars and douchy attitudes - as long as they were doused in mockery and fake blood.

It's fun to be scary... gross... creepy... weird...

But I want to swing the pendulum the other way this year for Halloween.

Sugary sweet.  Sickeningly cute.  But - still a little on the demented side, of course.  Most of that will come into play with the make-up and the attitude.

I can't wait to show you the entire look!!

Slowly But Surely

I have been slowly and steadily working on a new project.

I did mention, a long time ago really, that I was going to get an Etsy shop up and running.  I do mean it and I really AM going to - but it's not a fast and easy process, considering all the hours I work at my "real" job.  I have a hundred different ideas of things I could make but there has been one idea that I just can not get out of my head and so this is the one I am going to start with.  

I won't give it all away but I can give a little sneak preview.  If anything - to push myself to keep going.  It's hard to get home from an 11 hour work day and then pick back up on a project but that is what I have been doing for a few weeks now and I hope that by Fall I can have enough product to put into my shop officially!

Sneaky Peekie

I'm in the very beginning stages of a painting.  I have a pretty solid idea now, but I have been letting it sit and seep into my brain and mix all around with other ideas since... Christmas.  So I finally decided I'm ready to make the big commitment and put paint on the canvas.  Here's a sneek peek of the direction it's going in!  Remember, I said VERY beginning stages - just to give you a taste.

And here's another peek at something awesome.  I had mentioned in another post that Evan and I are taking Engagement Pictures.  Well while I was in Brimfield, I got the perfect dress.  I'm not posting a picture of the whole thing until the actual photos... here's your sneak peek..

  Ooooooohhhhh!!!
