lookie me, i have a wip

well sort of...i was working on a project for another secret project and had all these materials out and they looked so pretty i had to take pictures. today i really need to write my darn poli sci paper but all i really want to do is curl up on the couch, read magazines, drink cocoa and watch some flicks. it's cool outside unlike yesterday's scorcher and my house is all chillified so i have a comforter on the couch and my old old leg armers on and i fell all niftified. hope it is a productive weekend for y'all!

photobooth friday: look-a-likes

for as long as i could remember people have always told me that i look "just" like my mamos. i can see it but i think i am more like her in other ways also. we both dressed a bit different from the rest, we both have a crazy sweet tooth, we both can laugh it off when things get ultimately crappy and we both can't sing worth a darn. she's about 13 in this pic while i'm about 31 or so and yet you can still tell we're related. i'm sure if i were to ever pas my father in the street he might think he was seeing a ghost!

hullo?

okay, is it me or my browser...where is my last post? i am so confused...help oh help oh blogger goddess...

i'm a swappy dancer

i can't help it. i have broken the bank dozens of times sending packages to folks i don't know. it is like being a fairy without the wings...though i think i would like wings...here is a small sample of what i sent for the November Coloriffic Swaporama...the colors were apple green, candy pink & bergundy...so fun and sweet. i made a batch of patchwork coasters. i have to learn how to minimalize what i send. i'm working on it but boy howdy, it is difficult. today is going to be a busy day. i have projects to work on, homework, granny visiting & an eye appointment. right now of course i am doing none of those things but i am working on sudoku and blogging which of course is the start of any good day. happy november foks!

photobooth friday: dia de los muertos

okay, i didn't take this picture on The Day of the Dead, but since it has just passed, i thought i would post this strip taken in 2002.

being the dorky oingo boingo fan that i am, i became a huge fan of The Day of the Dead more than 20 years ago. I trek out to Olvera Street every year for a photo day and in general i think of those i have loved and lost, primarily my mamos. i didn't make shrine/altar this year as i feel my entire wee casa is a tribute to her and what i learned. i did wear one of her necklaces and as always i think about her all the time. this time of year especially is hard for me as she was a christmas lady. she adored the beglittered snowmen & santas and always turned our house into a glitter wonderland. not much for the spiritual background of the holiday, i celebrate it for my mom. i plan my cookie baking and giftwrap theme well before october rolls around and this year, i thought i was going to be so clever with the colors i had chosen and then i was in Borders yesterday and viola! my color palatte of black, white & magenta seems to be "IN". i need to channel my thoughts and turn them into cash somehow...drats! on the bright side, i don't need to make my black christmas tree, i found one at borders!
