It made my day!

Something Unexpected.

Found photographer Irina Werning's website today, loved it, showed it to my husband, and am now sharing it with you. Enjoy!

Kitty Love

My cat is awesome or at least I think so. I am guessing everyone feels that way about their own cat. Because I love my cat I have little art pieces around my house celebrating that fact. There is the picture of a young cat woman with a little kitty buddy, a yeti rescuing a kitty from a tree, and of course a picture of my cat looking adorable. So I thought I would share this little giveaway you can enter at Pikaland. Because who couldn't use some more cat themed objects in their life, I know I could. Should mention you need to enter by tomorrow.

Double Rainbow!

I wish I knew how to make both of these, so colorful!

The air up there.

I saw Natsumi Hayashi 's photographs awhile ago and then just happened to stumble upon them again today. Thought I would share it with the rest of you encase you haven't seen her work before. Her photos are called 'daily levitations' and it won't take you long to see why.

Let's Pretend

Making Fiends is so great. It's done in such a simple style that is appreciated when compared to other over the top stuff out there. Plus it has this quirky sense of dark humor that makes a person laugh.

Nerd Love

I really don't have much to say but I thought I would post this picture because this is pretty much the kind of nerd I am. (No that is not me with a box on my head but I have made sure to wear a Harry Potter shirt every time I go to see the newest HP movie.) Also if you look back you will see that I did indeed go to Gen Con.

Days Away

So there hasn't been any posting on here lately because I have been out and about, in another state to be exact. It was great to get away for awhile and have a ton of fun on top of that. But it is back to the cold and work for me. I keep writing about Spring, guess I am wishing it would get here already so I can be outside without a winter coat. I also must not be the only one dreaming of Spring because after posting flower crowns here I have begun to see them popping up everywhere, like daisies! So here is a link to a site with a tutorial where you can learn to make your own, which I just might do if Spring would ever get here, you can't really wear a flower crown over the hood of your coat. Also another blogger, (Blythe Hill whose blog I think is great and look at it often), has noted the trend and has some more pics of fellow crown wearers. So if it is already Spring where you are I hope you are enjoying it while wearing a flower crown of your own.

Half a Weekend

So far it's been a good weekend. I got a lot done today. Actually started that Spring cleaning I was talking about. Went through some of my clothes and all my shoes. Hopefully I can get a good price for them so I can get some extra spending money. Also went and saw the movie Rango today. It was a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Also on top of all of that I did some painting! I will have to take it easy tomorrow, can't work too hard on the weekend. Hope the second half of my weekend goes as well as the first half. :)

Spring Cleaning

It doesn't feel even close to Spring yet but I've got the Spring cleaning fever. Okay it's more like Spring reorganizing but some cleaning is taking place really. I am even going to try and sell some clothes/shoes off to a local store to resale. Probably won't make much but every little helps. Plus it feels like it's getting a little crowded in here, it's time for a good cleansing. Out with the old...
So in the thought of Spring here's a couple cute pictures of flowers in colorful hair. I always wanted to know how to make daisy chains, maybe I will have to teach myself so I can wear a flower crown.

It's Here!

Finally!!! Eisley's new CD is out! I bought and listened to it all. So good my ears would smile if they could. What can I say, I have been a fan since I somehow stumbled upon them years ago when all they had out was an EP. Which I of course promptly went out and purchased. Ever since then I have been hooked. Give them a listen maybe you will get hooked too. :)

One More Thing...

Found another city drawing artist, everything is coming up skylines. The artist is Jennifer Bishop and is the featured seller right now on Esty. I read through her interview and then checked out her online portfolio she has up. Seeing all these great drawings of cities and map like art makes me want to whip out a pen and start drawing...or maybe I will just keep admiring.

A Night at the Movies

The other day I watched the movie: It's a Funny Story. The movie was pretty good but my favorite part was the art featured in the movie. So I did a little looking and found the real artist's site. His name is Brian Drucker and his map paintings were the ones in the film. I really like all the detail and the soft yet punchy colors.
Speaking of movies I also found this super fun movie trivia game. Try it out.

The Week Begins.

Sunday night, painted the nails for the week. Looking pretty. Now to figure out what to wear to work tomorrow. I will leave you with this comic that made me laugh, hope it does the same for you.

Snow again...

One would think Spring would be getting here soon but it just keeps snowing. And snowing...and snowing... You get the picture. Leaves me with plenty of time on my hands which sometimes leads me to wondering the information super highway. Didn't find much out there today so I will just leave you with this little gem.

My Favorite Night of TV

Thursday night is about the only night that I actually plan to watch tv. It's all about the Office, Parks and Rec, and 30 Rock. Liz Lemon makes me laugh. And so does this man:That's right Ron Swanson. And so here is a strange yet funny site dedicated to the cats that look like him...yes you read that right cats. Cats that look like Ron Swanson.

Wild Child

Here's another pic I came across that I thought went well with yesterday's.

Snow Day

Lots of shoveling was done today, so much snow! Spent the majority of the rest of my day indoors relaxing watching old tv episodes and painting my nails. Nothing that constructive. I will have to do better next time I have the day to myself. The two pics were found in different places but I thought they made a cute pair.

Another Blizzard

So much snow! Not looking forward to shoveling out my car and the driveway. I guess I will just have to think of it as my winter workout. Just hiding out inside the house while the world outside is washed in white. Taking the time to actually start reading a new book, hang out with my husband, and browse the web. Thought I would post a few more pictures that I found lovely. Yes there is more pink...

Pink!

Not much new lately. Been a slow month.
Thought I would just post a couple pictures that I found and liked.
ENJOY the PINKNESS!!!
