Taco Bus Rainbow!
Here’s a drawing I made as a birthday gift for my friend. It’s him and his girlfriend flying over a rainbow on their way to the Taco Bus. Heehee.

33 weeks pregnant, pimp walk and my new artist crush..
Ethan in a 4D Ultrasound picture
The baby crib and the mario mobile I made for him. It didn’t turn out exactly how I had pictured it but I still think it’s cute.I’ve been busy working, sleeping and eating a lot. It’s hard to believe there are only a few more weeks left until baby Ethan is here. I’m excited about getting to know the person that we made. I’m excited about introducing this person to chocolate chip cookies, art, and the Pixies. I’m excited to read The Little Red Hen with this person. I’m excited about getting to know Eric as a parent. I’m excited about getting to know myself as a parent. I’m ready, and I’m not at all ready, but more than anything, I just feel lucky to get to have this experience. What I don’t feel lucky about is the fact that I’ve been dealing with SPD – one of those weird pregnancy conditions that sounds bizarre and well, kind of is. It means the ligaments that normally keep your pelvic bone aligned during pregnancy become too relaxed and stretchy. This, in turn, can make the pelvic joint — aka the symphysis pubis — unstable, causing some pretty strange sensations and chronic pain. I’ve been experiencing that for over 2 months now and I’ve developed a limp that makes me walk like a pimp. :|
On a side note – my new artist crush is Mike Mitchell, his artwork is my favorite style of cute & creepy. :) This piece has to be my favorite of his so far.
Which also reminds me of a really great documentary I watched about Kevin Clash (the puppeteer behind Elmo) that you should all go watch. It’s called Being Elmo and it will make you laugh, cry and make you want to go destroy your favorite blankey so you can create your own puppet. :) -

Baby, Mario Kart and N’awlins!
I must apologize for the lack of posts in the past month or so, life happens! :) Yup, so I’m 21 weeks pregnant. We found out we’re having a boy last week and naturally, I have started shopping. Teehee. After looking through about 100 different baby mobiles on various websites, I’ve decided to make my own – It’s going to be Mario Kart themed! I just got my little Mario and Luigi plush dolls today but I’m still waiting on the rest of them. I’ll be posting pictures of that project soon.
Oh so, we went to New Orleans for a week in December. The trip was my birthday gift from Eric and it was my first time going there. I loved the artists at Jackson square and how everywhere we’d go we would hear live music. So awesome. :) We went on two of Bloody Mary’s tours which were both really informative and freaky at the same time. I highly recommend taking one of her tours if you ever go to N’awlins!
We made VooDoo dolls on Bloody Mary’s Ghost Tour!
The Louis Armstrong park reopened while we were there!
random street band – we saw many of these!
piano that was found after Katrina that belonged to Fats Domino
We visited two of the cemeteries – it was super creepy how vandalized some of the tombs were and how much weird VooDoo stuff going on. :O
I got this painting from an artist named Cary Chun Lee – it was so cute I couldn’t resist! It doesn’t get more awesome than a black cat eating a beignet. Hehe :) -

Atomic Holiday Bazaar!
So, I procrastinated (never again) and ended up spending the past 2 weeks going crazy trying to get things ready in time for the Atomic Holiday Bazaar. I was nervous and excited since this was the biggest craft show I’ve ever been a part of. There were a lot of great vendors there selling really cool stuff. I’m still not sure how I managed to control myself and not spend all my earnings on cute things there. I made a few trades with people but that’s it really. :) I did pretty well with all my smaller items and I sold my big zombie cupcake painting which I wasn’t even expecting! It was awesome (even though I was a little sad to see him go). Hehe. I highly suggest signing up for Atomic in 2012 if you’re a crafty person! Here’s a link to a video they made from this weekend and a few not so great pictures I took on my iPhone.
