I can't find my camera charger.

So, I moved last month. I haven't seen my camera charger in the abyss of packed and slowly unpacked items I own. This explains the dry spell of pictures and my completely undocumented life. Here is a brief written account.

Things that happened recently:
Cocoa Beach
Downtown Disney
'Up' at campus
Football game
Plenty of friend fun
Panama City
Destin
etc, etc, etc.

Things that I will hopefully have my camera for:
Killers
Dead Weather
New Orleans
Panama City
Disney
Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party
Homecoming Concert
More football games
Spirit Splash
etc, etc, etc.

I managed to take this with my dying battery...

My art desk is a mess.

I've been toying with a ton of different projects and ideas. The result is a desk full of half-finished projects and LOTS of supplied! I really need some inspiration on where to go next with my ideas.

I try to extract inspiration from everywhere. Currently, I love this color.



It's a lovely shade of blue that I just can't stop using. Expect blue kitchen things appearing in my shop soon. It's just such a fun and fresh color that I think will really make a kitchen pop.


You'll see me soon, in one form or another!


I also bought a new set of paintbrushes. I don't know why, but I love new brushes. There is something exciting about staining the brush for the first time, seeing what path it makes, and figuring out how to use it.



Maybe I'm just weird.

But I definitely draw my biggest inspiration from this fellow:



And from reminiscing with old photographs.



Hopefully all this talk will draw up some fresh ideas.

My current obsession.

Ok, so maybe sometimes I wear a sweatshirt and jeans. Especially lately, as my laundering facilities are limited. But, under normal circumstances, my goal of each day is to dress so that at least one person compliments my style. I love picking out outfits. Seriously.

Right now I am completely obsessed with a couple of outfits featured by Kate Spade. Skirts, heels, and scarves are my love.





Of course I will never actually buy these pieces. I am a budget fashionista. But, you'd be surprised at what you can come up with from lower end boutiques. I mean, it really doesn't take much to look stylish. I walk around campus every day and see a lot of people that apparently don't care about what they wear. Ok, ok, I know that seems shallow and that some people aren't concerned with looks, which is cool, but I always secretly applaud those that dare a skirt and some heels. If more people did, maybe I wouldn't get weird looks for showing up to a lesson on quantum physics with bright red stilettos.
