I finally am working, well not for pay BUT it's work and experience and I cannot be mad at that. I am a Visual Merchandiser/Manager Marketing Executive Apprentice....I know, but it's going to be a lot of work and I am super excited to get started *rubs sleep out of eye
So sorry this blog has been neglected. In a few weeks I am going to begin posting at least twice a week, probably monday and friday. On Mondays it'll be illustrations and on Fridays it'll be a look of the week.
Please look forward to it
And I will do it and you'll be excited
Also I am launching my line at the end of Feb early March...or mid March...definitely March.

the south
I am writing this from a cafe, so if you're all wondering where I've been....I've been in Georgia for a little over two weeks now.
BUT I have no internet...boooo. We just so happen to live outside of many internet providers limits in the Atlanta area.
it's been rough...I take that back not having internet at every waking moment has been rough. But everything else has been great....awesome really. I'm slowly getting to know the area, and my friends friends. It was pretty awesome to come here and be anticipated. Everyone practically knew who I was! That was a good feeling.
I still don't have alot of furniture, so drawing and sewing are out of the question at the moment. I know alot of people were anticipating my debut....that I keep pushing back. Well....it's being pushed back till spring...again (I'm not excited about this fact, I was very pumped to get a line but I guess I just gotta put it up to circumstance right now...oh well)
There will be periodic updates until we get internet at the house which will hopefully be in a few months. During this time I will be drawing and designing....so I'll try to post those updates when I can.
I love you all and thanks for sticking with me during my absence, and shoot maybe cutting myself off cold turkey from the internet will help me a bit....though I will sadly admit I feel creatively cut off as well...but I'll get through it!!!
Till next time suckas
Peace

quiltmania
Uhm hi blog, how are you?
I am doing well. Sorry I haven't written in you for a while...I've been busy...and really hot. It's been hot outside and that makes me very distracted.
Friends! I'm moving in 5 days! 5 days! What the heck that came up way faster than I expected. Am I excited? Hell yes.
I've been quilting lately, because well I need something to pass the time, and it's been very time consuming. Why didn't anyone tell me this before? I was fairly ambitious, even after I eliminated some aspects of the quilt (like the appliqué...side note, google chrome just marked appliqué wrong because it didn't have the accent...all...right.) and it still took me 2 days to make all the squares...make that 4 days.
The quilt is a full size bed spread and I had to make 56 (well actually 50...I made 6 extra on accident!). I didn't have a lot of the quintessential quilting tools. Like the large cutting square (one that was 12x12...I really needed that!) a walking foot (it's ok I don't have enough room to do the proper quilting so I'm going to wait till I get to Georgia) and I so intelligently gave away my cutting mat!! But it's okay because, Walmart sells the huge mat for like 20 bucks which is so so cheap I'll probably get 2!
All in all this quilt is fun, I just hope it turns out decent...that's all I ask!
Back to moving....I'll admit I'm kinda nervous about the drive. It's about 2500 miles and I'm doing it by myself (with my turtles of course) and it's about 24+ hours of just driving. I'm confident that Kia will make it...I just have to get my wits about me. I'm pretty sure on the 7th I might panic a little but that's just my nature. I booked my first motel in Tuscon last night (one that got specific reviews about lone female travelers...God speaking to me? I think so). One surprise that made me knock myself on the head....I get to go to New Orleans! Heck yeah! French Quarter here I come. Sad side note....another oil spill? If I can see it I'll take photos..I was really hoping that the water would be clean.
Things I'm excited for when I move:
Fireflies
Mississippi River...and other rivers
the Atlantic...is the water really warm?! Unbelievable
Southern food in moderation
and of course my friends!!!
lastly...HAVING MY OWN SEWING ROOM AAAHHHH!!! YAY!
Also, obviously my 365 drawings are on hiatus due to the fact that I'm super busy and I am soon to have no internet or a scanner :-(, but I'll try and post pics along the way of my adventure across the U.S!
And these are for Emily, progress of the quilt!
Sorry I couldn't get the whole thing in there...I could only get so far back and I'm short
Well till next time suckas!
Peace

21 days
21 days till I move....still no printer or camera...LAAAAME.
My little brother (by 5 years and 4 months..aka 6 years) went off to USC today. It was weird, because my brother and I have already left. First me, then my brother....so for 5 years my little brother was by himself. Then I graduate from college and my brother gets out of the army at the same time (well...6 months give or take) and we're both back at home. So I'm sure he was bombarded.
So it was odd seeing him leave, I never had to go through a sibling leaving because well I'm the oldest. I'm always leaving. My brother and I ended up in room, marveling at the cleanliness and how he wasn't there. We grabbed some random change off his desk and that was it.
Have fun at USC Corey...don't get crazy!
Now that he's gone it marks exactly 3 weeks until I leave. I know and hope it'll go by fast. Yes I am little nervous about driving, so people...gimme a ring. Yes I will have a headset, I do not drive and talk with the phone in my hands...I already have slightly poor depth perception, I don't need to add to that.
Because really I'm going to be bored (especially going through Texas...what's so great about that state again?)
Sorry, I'll try not to forget to post like I have for the past few days. I'll at least try to do once a week till I can start posting pictures up again...so lame
Till next time suckas

yes, i'm still here
Guess what! I got all my clothes and fabric packed!! Wahooooo! It was an intense two days...I was planning on posting but my bed was covered with clothes or fabric. Lame. Also very lame...our printer broke...so now I can't scan my drawings AND I left my camera in my friends car so I can't take pictures of my drawings either. So bogus.
3 more weeks till I move!!
By the way, I'm starting on my quilt! My allergies have been knocking me out daily, so I haven't been able to start cutting the strips but I'm going to get started on that probably after dinner
...At the moment I'm busy planning my excursion! Woohoo! I had to modify it from my original plan (which included the good ol' Grand Canyon) BUT it's still good. I'll be stopping (definitely) in Phoenix, Tuscon, San Antonio...with the possibility of Austin, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and the finally my new home of Atlanta (well...Atlanta area)
If anyone has any suggestions on stops (that are along the 10) and places I should see, or eat at...just let me know!! Miroku, Tsuka, and I are ready for adventure!! Well me more than them...they're just turtles haha.
Those poor guys, I've only been feeding them once a day to get them ready for the trip (where I might not feed them at all...yes they can go without food for that long)...everytime I go towards the tank they swim frantically at me. Next time I go to the pet store I think I'm going to get them some crickets (better than the worms I have now...GROSS), because I want to introduce them to live bait in a few months
Well back to quilting!
P.S Everyone should use those bags where you vacuum all the air out...they are amazing! Granted I'll be using about 23-25 of these bags total..but man...they're so awesome!!
Till next time suckas

bump
Sorry, no illustration today. I'm starting to get overwhelmed and I am trying to punch that feeling in the face. I'm also trying to stop eating so poorly (well I eat pretty well but it's the sweets that are killing me) and get my too soft self back on a bike , maybe lose a few pounds before I leave? Ehh? Ehh?
I hate packing and having money issues.
So now that I have wasted my day, I should at least do SOME packing *grumble grumble*
Oh, anyone know any dry hair and scalp remedies? I am seriously about to shave my head cuz I don't want to deal with it anymore...but I wont do that cuz I'll cry
....either way I end up frustrated *more grumbling*
Till next time suckas
