treat yo'self

Nan Lawson's You Had Me At Meat Tornado print is making me even more excited to see Nick Offerman tonight!
Mm, I love me some Ron Swanson.

So go ahead & treat yo'self to something delicious tonight. I plan on it!

glass blowing class

It's more than a month after Christmas & I've finally gone to Studio Fuzzishü to try my hand at making a glass blown ornament. It was so fun! I expected to be terrible at it but Rachel did such a great job of talking me through each step that I will actually be able to hang my ornament without any shame.

If you're in the Des Moines area, you should check out her website for lots of other fun classes. She does metalsmithing, jewelry, chainmaille, glass beads, & more!

it's almost like being famous

A cute little feature included one of my prints in the Des Moines Register yesterday.  Happy (8 months early) Birthday to me!

right now

I am loving this camera cake.

& photography.

...but mostly just the cake.

put a stop to sopa & pipa

While this video puts a humurous spin on the subject, the SOPA & PIPA bills are a very serious matter.  Learn about why SOPA is dangerous because, after all, you should understand exactly what it is before you decide to protest.  Then go ahead & join the strike.

it's official
