Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone had a good Christmas! I am on vacation and visiting my family! Here is a picture of my new Jibibuts I got as gifts for Christmas! Aren't they neat?

Getting Ready for the Holidays

We are getting ready for the holidays this week! We got a little off track cos I came down with a terrible cold all weekend and I am still trying to get better. I hope everyone has a good holiday season! Happy Holidays!

Clothes Horse Number Four

Here is one of my favorite wintery outfits to wear lately! This outfit is a honey-colored sweater that I think I got at Anthropologie a while ago. I love it cos it is so warm and wooly! And I love the ruffle and the color, too. I paired it with some cute copper brown knickers, angora knee high socks, and my white Familevog shoes!

Illustration Friday - Sneaky

I made this illustration for the Illustration Friday I missed when the word was "sneaky." I thought this was a good word to draw, but I missed the date to enter my link! That's okay. I am back on track now, and was so busy for the last few weeks. I hope you enjoy this drawing of me and Nilla being very sneaky! I imagine this to be us sneaking around peeking at our Christmas pressies that await!

Little Ornament

Here is a little ornament I got at ICE earlier this month. It is made by our friend Sarah. You can see more of her cute creations at the Small Object! I think I am going to put my little guy on the tree, then in my car.

Let's Make Holiday Ornaments

I made some ornaments using my Christmas card drawings and some iron on transfers.




I printed them out and ironed them on to some soft white felt.


Here I cut out the back of the ornament from plain red felt. I left a margin around the image so I can stitch it together.


I just top stitched the two felt pieces together. There is a ribbon sewn into the top, too. I made sure to go slowly around the curves of the snowman!


Right before I got to the end, I stuffed the ornament with polyfill, then stitched it the rest of the way!


Here it is stuffed and sewn up!






Easy as that - they are ready to hang on the tree!

Sweater Weather

Today was so very cold and windy here in Athens. We went out to run some errands and I almost blew away! Raoul had to catch me! This windy day reminded me of this comic I drew a long time ago. I was going to do a "sweater" theme zine, but I never finished. This is one of my comics that shows sweaters for every season. Do you have a favorite sweater?

Here is Nilla

Here is our cat, Nilla. She is a sleepy kitty.


Just look at that sweet face! We love Nilla.
