Wanna read along with me? I just started going to a book club at my gym. It’s totally fun and cute!! We’re reading The Sistine Secrets – it’s about Michaelangelo’s secret anti-Vatican messages hidden in the Sistine Chapel. I would honestly never have picked it up of my own accord, but it’s really pretty good so far. Next month, I’m gonna pick the book…

Look at this really cool tiny food. The texture is so great and the details are really astounding. I don’t know how this guy does it!

I just finished up a job for Muse magazine. It’s called Fashion Illustrated and features some of my animals wearing fancy jewelry. Cool!

Today I’m featured on travel blog Prêt à Voyager! Thank you, Anne; I love how it turned out!

Just made this the other day and thought it turned out really well. I should really think about making these patterns as absolutely simple as possible. I think that prevents them from being too overwhelming.

Just found this cutie online at Saga Living. The pattern is called “Kulkue” and it’s really adorable. I also bought a little cushion case!

I’m watching our new President give his speech right now. He looked nervous coming out on the red carpet; I would be all in my head and I think he was too. It’s tough to know you have to give a speech. Brings me back to my school days waiting to give an oral report.

Here are the “looks” I’m going for with the bathroom and kitchen remodeling projects I’m starting in February. I found some great deals on tile on Washington Ave here in Philly. It pays to check out the contractor supply shops!

I recently took an Intro to Hip Hop class with two friends and it was really fun! We learned some really cute moves and I was excited to take some more classes asap. I went the other day to the Basic Hip Hop class (1 step harder than Intro) and struggled through the first hour, every few minutes looking at the mirror and getting a really red face. I was totally embarrassed! All stumbling around trying to follow along. Finally I looked behind me and noticed that there was a big window and people watching were laughing! I’m pretty sure they were laughing AT ME!! I would’ve laughed too. After that, I just couldn’t recover so I left. I’ll go back to the intro class where I belong!
