Let's Pretend We're Bunny Rabbits

Missy's been busy today gearing up for the up-coming Christmas season. Today, she's putting the finishing touches on this litter of BUNNY RABBITS that she's been putting together the past couple of days. Just a few more mouths to embroider, and they're good to go! She's also been embroidering mouths on these PLUSH ANCHORS that she's also been busy sewing...now it's time to go take a break!

Sketchbook Sunday - What Nilla Would Wear

Do you ever dream about dressing your pets? Sometimes I do, and I know you can dress your pets, but I really don't think mine would allow for that. If I could dress Nilla, I always imagined her in a great red track suit like I drew right here. I think she would really look cute in this!

Born In The '70s

Today's my BIRTHDAY and my sister posted THIS PHOTO on my Facebook wall. It's a picture of me and my sisters, Belinda and Cynthia, from way back in the day. This image isn't Instagram - it's an authentic old-ass photo, from the mid-to-late 1970s. Check out that gold carpet! Judging from the MIAMI DOLPHINS t-shirt that Belinda is wearing, this is our living room from when my wandering family lived in Pompano Beach, Florida (where both my sisters were born - as for me, I'm a Yankee by birth, born in New Jersey). I don't remember what the deal was with the dual television set up, but I like to think that we used to watch two different TV shows at the same time, Elvis-style...

Nilla One-Hundred And Thirty Four

Sometimes I ask Raoul to take a picture of me and Nilla. Each time we do this, Nilla looks bigger than me!

Tunesday Tuesday - First Aid Kit Concert

A few weeks ago I got Raoul and I tickets to go see First Aid Kit in concert. I have to say, I was sad they were not playing again here in Athens, so we made the trek to Atlanta and were prepared to be exhausted the next day. We made our way into the theatre and heard First Aid Kit sound checking, waited more, then finally went inside after waiting in the lobby at the Buckhead Theatre. As soon as we were let in, we hurried to the front, as I am short and wanted a good view! I have to say, we had so much fun at this show, First Aid Kit are a real treat live. They are SO GOOD! SOOOOO GOOD. I have seen many bands over the years, but they were really one of my favorites for putting on a truly rockin', fun, and lovely set. Did I mention they are SOOO GOOD? They have such great voices, it is truly amazing to hear in person. Also, it was fun because the crowd were really excited to see them, and everyone in the room was kind and paid attention, and even sung along for Ghost Town and Emmylou. This show was so good, I can't wait to see First Aid Kit again!


Here are my First Aid Kit drawings, inspired by their song Wolf! I really think that is a good video. I love the images and that is one of my favorite songs from their new record.


Here are some of my photographs from the show. This one is from Klara singing with the opener band.
