Outfit No. 25


September 3, 2010 bureau original, I like to draw, outfits

Outfit No. 25: Grey silk dress-so light and airy! / Super flat hair (my sister did it). / Cream Blackstone boots on super sale. The man in the pew in front of me really liked them. / In this outfit I: went to a Catholic wedding in a pretty church, but didn't eat the crackers, fed some cows pears from a tree and let them lick my hand a little, and watched the bride and groom dance to the song Scatman.

Me and My Pioneer Rabbit, Stretching the Limitations of Water Skis


September 1, 2010September 1, 2010 bureau original, I like to draw, pioneer rabbit

My rabbit was feeling frisky when it asked to go out to the lake. Watching all those YouTube videos of animals on waterskis was probably not a good idea, and my rabbit was relentless in its' request to find freedom on the water. Fine, rabbit. One burial at sea coming right up.

Outfit No. 24


August 30, 2010 bureau original, I like to draw, outfits

Outfit No. 24: A cute checkered and ruffled black and gray top my sister gave me (as a present, not a hand-me-down!). / A new pair of jeans! 'Boyfriend cut' Levi's. They even remembered to distress one back pocket so it looks like "my boyfriend" carried his wallet there. / White leather bracelet with silver brads. / My new travel purse with 7 pockets. Seven is the exact amount of pockets I was in the market for = organized. / Skinny belt. / Leather flats.

Happy Pony, Dance Pony


August 26, 2010April 15, 2014 bureau original, creatures, I like to draw, this is a test

The second attempt at following a friend’s advice, which was to relax more when I drew things and not worry about the end result. The first try was a bit gloomier. I’m not sure how long this experiment can go on before the watercolor police shut it down.

Rainbows and ponies.

Outfit No. 23


August 18, 2010 bureau original, I like to draw, outfitscomment (2)

Outfit No. 23: Standard Issue tank top. / A very airy skirt perfect for acclimating to new summer temperatures. / Flats, sooo comfortable but the logo is worn off so I don't know the name in order to BUY MORE! / Movie tix. / Leg warmers, strictly for warmth, or so I thought...I brought them to the movie theater because the AC is always off the hook, but on the way Jen and I bought baguette sandwiches to smuggle in. My purse wasn't big enough, but guess what fits PERFECTLY into my leg warmers? MY LUNCH!!! (after I ate my sandwich I put them on my legs)

Over Hill, Over Dale

Scared Pony, Run Pony


August 12, 2010April 15, 2014 bureau original, creatures, I like to draw, this is a test

A friend told me I should relax more when I drew things and not worry about the end result. This is what happened. Maybe I’ll try “Happy Pony, Dance Pony” next.

All at once, the pony knew today was not going to be a good one.

Outfit No. 22


August 10, 2010August 10, 2010 bureau original, I like to draw, outfitscomment (2)

Outfit No. 22: Um, a shirt my sister bought for me at Forever 21. I'm still in my twenties at least, and more importantly this tank top is great at hiding spare tires. / $4.99 jean skirt. I relive my deals every time I wear them :). / Standard Issue black tights. / Black ballet flats with no arch support. / Vestal watch. / Giant horseshoe necklace.

Happy Dog Pictures Make People Happy


August 3, 2010 bureau original, photos, random

Dogs make a sound that is considered laughing in the canine world…studies have shown that hearing this sound makes other dogs happy as well. When Lucy got her new squeaky newspaper, her laugh was immediate, and I think you can tell.
