Are you feeling Friday?

A few Friday pics :) I sleep about 3 feet from where I work. See the old Pfaff?

It's been quite a long week and it certainly feels like Friday. Went to step class twice this week, 2 days in row, and it kicked my butt a plenty. Just finished stuffing 20 bear necklaces for the October show, and still lots more to do! (One) Goal this weekend: get ink for the printer. Recently it ran out of red ink, and by the time I replaced it suddenly the green and black cartridges are empty (and I didn't even use it in between!). There must be an ink drinking goblin about with expensive taste, cos this pigment ink costs a small fortune. Tis the price for archival-ness!

What are your plans this weekend? I'd love to hear about it!

Eight for Today

A few snaps around my studio. Finally cleaned and organized (most of it) and making a mess again already. The Organ needles foil wrapper I swear is identical to Wrigley's chewing gum. So whenever I take out a new needle, I want gum!

Have a wonderful Wednesday ^_^

Current + Belated Thank Yous

There's been a few nice shout-outs that have happened this summer, and I'm seriously way behind with the thank-yous! So before I tarry any longer, here's the most recent: cindylouwho2 put together a light hearted Etsy Treasury featuring items "Found using search term BALD". Gotta love that. And guess who popped up? KLAY MAN #1! This Treasury expires Monday Aug 3 (that's tomorrow) so be sure to visit it and check out Cindy's fabulous jewelry shop. P.S. I'm also thinking the KLAY MAN's will make adorable wee ghosties for Halloween!

Next up: (you will get a kick out of this) Fellow cat-lover, ginger ale-sipper, and artist named Cathy Peng awarded me the "One Lovely Blog Award", way back in June. Read about it on her blog. Cathy has cute cat-themed items (but of course!) in her Etsy shop. TY Miss Peng!

And last but not least, Emma of Little Brown Rabbit (love that name) tagged me in June. Here's the link to her blog post about it. I'm so flattered to be tagged, but just don't have the time or energy right now to do the long Q+A. You'd be surprised how long these 'regular' blog posts take me to write :) But I can say for trivia sake, I too had pet rabbits back when I was a youngin'.

Bald, Bunnies and Cat lovers. Who would guess? :O)
