Adopted from SouleMama's weekly ritual:

{this moment} – "A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you’re inspired to do the same, leave a link to your ‘moment’ in the comments for all to find and see."

A bit of everything!

<-a nightclub wedding, sans children Labor Day Weekend started early for us - I started work earlier than usual so I was home before the sun set on Friday. Did a lot and did nothing; it was wonderful! We also got another Lost: Season 6 disc from Netflix! Here's a quick pictorial of what I did. Enjoy! Aloha, Su

The Sketchbook Project begins...

I've been nervous about this project - I've always had a rough time getting my ideas and thoughts from my mind's eye to the page or whatever medium I'm working in. *Sigh* this time is no different.

I tried to start early, even before the book came.... so I started with some storyboarding, which I promptly lost. So I started with some more storyboarding, which I finally worked out the beginnings of what can only mean I will need to be removing pages or gluing many together because each spread seems like it will be a lot of work! Especially considering the holidays, the extra work I've picked up and the holidays around the corner. My deadline is January 15th I believe.

Well anyway, here is my efforts towards my first page spread. This was inspired by a peacock we saw, wandering around like just another chicken, over at the rec center one day when we were waiting to pick up Grandma.



Enjoy!

4am, work work work

<- gratuitous Dorothy tail shot Up early today, eking out some craft time. Here's a shoppe update, and a sneak peek! Just sold the Ipu Heke earrings, and as I sorted out my remaining large pearls, decided to set aside pairs for future work. I ended up with a bunch of unmatched pearls, so I decided that they would become the matching Ipu Heke necklace. That's right, just like that! HA! ....must be too early, I'm a little punchy this morning. Oops sorry folks.

Here are the earrings, mailed out on Friday morn. Thanks Kristen!


And the poor unmatched pearl given glory as a Pendant, and a shot of the set:


Enjoy! Aloha,
