Just something that I have been working on today in Illustrator.

I am trying to play around with geometrical forms, patterns, and the  colors that you see.  :]

I will be working more on this within the next few days i'm sure.


Also........

I will be wearing my hair like this more often.

And my makeup like this!  I feel super witchy :]

Clean House and Studio Flooding.

Every week (or supposed to be) I clean house.  I sometimes is both of us cleaning, but normally I will clean when I get off at 11 on wednesdays.  House work is the pits I tell ya!
Normally the cleaning day is on Thursdays, but we have decided to move it to Wednesdays that way we don't have to do anything on Thursdays (days off).

The reason why I am even mentioning this is because last night our upstairs neighbors washer decided to spring a leak and it drizzled  through the washing room hallway and into my studio.  All I can say is THANK HEAVENS I moved my camera, lenses, and computer out into our living room the other day.   I get on these kicks where I want to be with others when I work, so the living-room is the perfect place to put my electronics.
 I am so lucky that none of my expensive equipment was washer rained on!

Now back to the cleaning.
The guys who come to work on our house Chad and his work partner just showed up, and I am so glad that I had just finished cleaning the house (except that hall way and studio area).  Now I just need to wash some clothes that were in the area where there was leakage.  Damn for leaving my clean clothes basket in that hallway.

I am so glad that the house was looking good because I get the impression that every time they come over to check out a problem that they are really checking out the way we live and reporting it back to our landlord.  That may be a bit paranoid but that is how it comes off sometimes.  Super nice guys and I could just be a bit paranoid.  Whateves.


Tonight Sean and I are exploring our deep mind space, and after I get some grub for lunch I plan on doing a really good yoga session.  I started back up my yoga routine last night and I plan on making it stick.  Yoga and hula-hooping daily!  Yeah boy!

Also once I get my studio back up from having to move a bunch of stuff since it was raining in there, I am hoping to get working on the sewing machine.  I have had a few days off, I did do a shoot for Skirt Magazine the other day, but I need to get back to work and produce some good stuff.  My photostyle will be changing as well.  So look forward to that!

Anyway, I'm off.
Have an awesome day!

Hula-hooping queen!

Or I will be one day! MUAHAHA!

So this past week I bought a hula-hoop.  Yeah, I am pretty excited actually. 

I had the brilliant idea of buying a hula-hoop last week while at work listening to Shpongle radio on Pandora.
 I have been trying to find other ways to meditate, and also get in shape at the same time.  Yoga is good, I love yoga, but I wanted something else to keep me active.  Then all of a sudden hooping came into my mind.  If I play it simply, one circular motion to keep a meditative state, but it also will work my core.  Pretty cool I think!  Then I hoop and I realize how much I actually work all of my muscles.

So during my work break (the day I bought it) I ran over to Toys-R-Us and bought a $6 hoop.  It had some water in it but the amount just wasn't enough for it to keep up on my hips.  So last night I had the idea of adding more water.  I am pretty sure I NOW have the perfect amount of weight in the hoop, or at least it is 99% perfect.  CLOSE ENOUGH!

I never thought I would ever hula-hoop.  I have not been one for being able to actually  move it around my waist, but I have been practicing for a little bit a day and slowly and surely it is coming along.  Hopefully in a years time (or sooner) I will be a PRO FA SHO!  I gotta keep my SHO going!

Here are a couple pictures of me and my hoop.  Hoop details later!

The hoop is an electric blue color with purple ellipses lining the outside edge.  I wanted something to remind me of space.  (When don't I want something that reminds me of space? haha)

YEAHHHH skills to pay the bills!     Man do I look shapeless in this dress.  But I love it soo!

Also:   Had to buy a new lens today.
Not a problem simply because I needed a new one because my other standard zooms are on the brink of death, but dishing out that much money is a problem when you don't have it.  Yay for lenses that don't break the bank to bad!


If anyone else hula-hoops I would love to know some deets of your hooping experience. :]


And to end my post, a super cute picture of Wicky!

He hates being my subject when I have my camera in hand.   *Oh moms, don't take no peeektures of meee*
