Bits & Pieces

1. The wall decals I ordered came today! They were a pain to peel off their backing without pieces getting stuck to each other. But actually putting on the wall was easy, and I love how it turned out! This is our loft upstairs, kind of right outside my office. We already had the 5 framed prints (Ikea!), and I thought this pack of decals coordinated nicely. Eventually I’d like the wall that the window is in to be painted that blue/teal color, but that’ll have to wait a bit.

2. I didn’t think this weekend was going to be busy, but then I actually looked at all of the things I’m planning/wanting to do. Coffee with friends tomorrow morning, Round Rock Market Days tomorrow afternoon, the Hope Farmers Market Sunday mid-day with a clothing swap, and then Pinballz for games and hanging out with friends again that afternoon. And then Monday night is The Last Unicorn. Um, downtime, where’d you go? Haha. Should be fun, though.

3. Not to mention it’s my 2-year blogiversary and shopiversary tomorrow, on top of the above! Special post & announcements coming then. Stay tuned! 😉

Happy weekend everyone!

And I was a bad blogger, because I hardly took any pictures. I […]

Tidbits

So, I attempted a new screen-making method for the elephant design, using the photo emulsion kit my sister got me for my birthday last year.   And I thought it worked beautifully, until I went to print. And got this:   Super bummer. It may be that I just messed up in the process, since it was my first time trying this method. I’m going to give it another go with the kit, but if the next screen turns out the same way, it’s back to hand-painting screens for me. I do hate to see a shirt go to waste, […]
