latest craft project (Russian doll style monsters)



So i got these at a local thrift store 3 months ago, they were very cute!! specially the smallest one, but Blaine had another idea for them when we bought them.











They can come apart and you can put them all inside eachother. So i painted them all white.







Then i started painting on them to make them look like


















Where the wild things are monsters!
i made the smallest one max, just drew his face with a paint marker.

So i finished them all
And they can even eat eachother....

got hit by a car today...


I live in the small city of Charlotte, and today i have come to the fact that seriously and truly people cannot drive! they suck.
I own a car, but i love to ride my bike everywhere, specially when places i frequent are short distances or even walking distance from my home (less then a mile from Downtown Charlotte)
For lunch today i decided i wanted soup so on my way to pick it up, in the intersecton of camden and park rd, i got hit by a white seddan, i tried to break but he was coming, it was a stop yield sign so i went. Next thing i know i was on the hood and my leg pined between my bike and his car, it sucked yea, but the guy was just as scared as i was he said he did not see me!!.. i was ok, helmet on, no damages.
A nice Nurse and some others got out of their cars to call the ambulance but i told them it was not necessary. Now im at home eating soup with a baby scratch and a giant bruise on my leg.
why cant we all be more bike friendly? gaah.

peapod story



The peaPod story
When me and my boyfriend Blaine started dating, i got him into liking
one of my favorite bands, PLUSHGUN, we made eachother cd's , and one of the Plushgun songs we love is "just impolite".
Our favorite lyrics of the song are "it just seems like we're two peas in this pod we call NewYork..." SO this is where this Peapod necklace comes into the story. For Christmas Blaine made me a silver Peapod necklace with pearls (representing us) and my birthstone in the middle.
It came out beautifully!! i loved it then and i love it now, the crazy thing is that i lost it once and i got it returned to me (long story)
He also gave me a promise ring for my birthday early this year, it has a matching stone :)
i love you!
