barely a week

I'm sort of freaking out because I haven't got anything done, and my list is in shambles.
And I know that glitter is a real pain, but I just can't resist it! It just LOOKS like a celebration. 

what i wore today

I know, I know, I'm lazy and I don't update my blog.

Plus Christmas is making me crazy.

top, Topshop/ pants, Bench/ boots, Centropell

lately

Finding L.M. Montgomery books in piles on the floor of used-book stores feels just like finding buried treasure.
This was in perfect condition when I found it, but three people are reading it now. At the same time.

Sneak peeks:

Finding my sister and Charlie hanging out:

Also, crazy crazy weather, and early sunsets.

come and craft!

If you live in the Metro Manila area, we'd love to meet you! Drop by, have tea, and craft with us! 

assemble

I just saw the Avengers, and it was the most fun I've had ever. Here is Coulson on his lunch break with his Cap card collection.

prepping

Getting ready for a workshop tomorrow by testing out pompom sizes and cutting shapes out of craft foam. 

the tall kid

It was my friend Joseph's birthday last week so I made him a few things.

Found an old workbook in the attic and a stripy paperclip:

Vintage team pennants are my favorite. I sewed this out of felt.

And I drew some bookplates, too.

Happy birthday to the chillest boy I know!

teef

I went to the dentist today.
What are my teeth even doing

sunshine, come and help me see

I've been homebound for the past few days, like everybody else. I finished a papercut and I'm packing it up for shipping:

Along with some ruffle banners from Pink Teacup:

And I painted some notecards, too. I'm loving gold paint right now; I want to gild everything!

Hoping for sunny weather. I feel so blessed to be dry and well-fed, and my heart goes out to the rest of Manila.

Will you look at that - an outfit post.

I thrifted this little sweater last week.

After about 6 hours I gave up.

My super rad friend Hannah took these photos! 

not dead yet

Blogger hasn't been cooperating with me, and our internet connection is horrid, and our laptop with Photoshop broke down, hence the unplanned blogging hiatus.

I think I broke my speed box-painting record, emulsion smells weird, butterflies are pretty, and Marie Antoinette-themed parties are things to look forward to. 

I'll be back soon!
Keep hope alive.

Some other art.

little things

Some giraffe stickers I made for a friend:

And some sneaky photos of Joseph's jewelry because he makes them himself and I like his color choices:

Hehehe. 

hula hoopin'

I drew a thing. 

queens

I was trying to draw something completely different, then got frustrated and drew this lady instead. 

stars

Kevin and I tried and tried to have dessert together, and our plans kept falling through. "We are star-crossed", I told him. And he said:

So I painted his words.

And then he answered me with this. (click it, it's starry)

surf

I made a notebook for my friend today.

Brown kraft sticker paper is the best.
