Snow. More blah.

Snow is beautiful, but I don't know what Bloomington's deal about not plowing is about. So, personal day at home it is!

blah

I hate snow.

"Cheesy" Christmas plates!

At Goodwill last week I scored these awesome plates!! I actually LOLed in the store when I was looking at them. Now only if Christmas wasn't like another year away!!







I will definitely be using these for a holiday party next year!!

hip hip hooray!

I finished my third set of paintings for artomat! This set only took me forever!



I think I like the mermaids and octopi the best.

Dedicated to my husband...

Bedroom redo

I have been thinking about giving our bedroom a redo. Eventually when we are living in a non-rental, I'd love to paint our room a violet-gray. But for now I have been having fun checking out etsy for cool bedspreads!

This chenille bedspread is beautiful!! It is from etsy seller, catnapcottage


And I love this colorful quilt from etsy seller, uniquelynancy!


Yesterday, Mike and I went to run some errands, which included going to an antique store! I bought a mirrored tray very similar to this one that etsy seller rosecottageemporium is selling. I am going to use mine to corral my makeup and perfume!



I am kind of torn between wanting a really calm, simple room and a crazy colorful room. I think colorful will win.

Happy New Year!

Yay 2009! I think this will be the best year yet.
Mike and I got a wii fit, so maybe it will also be my healthiest year???
2008 was really good, I found a job that I enjoy and work with people I like and I am really starting to love Bloomington! For 2009, I'd like to keep doing fun art things, I signed up for ceramics again and I am just finishing up my 3rd set of artomat art. My art resolution for the year is to complete one painting a month. My other resolutions are to wear more interesting outfits and read more and blog once a week and cook/plan more exciting meals, we'll see how that goes!!
