Lucky Size Nine

I've been so busy lately, haven't had time for kitty pictures. I caught this one of Lucky sleeping on the shelves in my laundry room. Aww..isn't he cute? I took the funniest video of him yesterday..it's going up on to my youtube page tomorrow! :) Here's a lil' pic of Lucky's older sister..



the two of them love to snuggle and clean on their toy, in the window...

Hi Mom

just a shout out to my momma, who loves Obama...Thank you for ALL of your help, love and support! You are my Star! :) Love you!!

Craftober Review

I'm finally getting back on the ball...long weekend, sister in living in town, beautiful fall weather..so many distractions from the computer! :) But I'm back with pictures from this last weekend's Sacramento Craft Mafia Craftoberfest...Ali, Cheryl and I headed up to J and 20th streets, to the News and Review parking lot, to show off our goods and hang with our Mafia cousins..


While we were finishing up the set up, this biker showed up with spokecards! I've been making these, from Ed's suggestion,..they are too fun! A little cardstock and a laminator and you're ready to go! I've made Obama ones, Frankenstien ones, this gentleman bought a smoosh one! They are toooooo fun! He let me get a picture..after I jumped up and yelled..Somebody who knows what spokecards are for...his answer- "For fun!". Love it!



This bike belongs to a patient momma waiting for her daughter to get her face painted. I saw the bike and ran over...can I get pictures?? She laughed, said yes and told me the bike would be signing autographs at 3...





One thing about outdoor shows...the WIND is a killer. Look at all of Ali's embroidery whipping around..it was crazy! I spent one hour just standing up holding on the tent so that it wouldn't fly away..:)

Obamathon, all night long..well, till 9, for me

This friday night at the Verdi Club in San Francisco, I'll be spraying my lil ol heart out...for Obama! I'll be at the Obamathon
from 5-9pm, spraying your own prewashed t shirt and selling spokecards, posters, Stencil 1 stencils and sprays! Come by and boogie down!

Saturday the 11th, I'll be in Sacaramento for the Craftoberfest! From 10-4pm I'll be with my Petaluma Mafia girls..selling our handmade wares. Hope to see you there!

She's coming back!

I'm super excited because my sister and her beau are finally moving back to our part of the world. Here are a few pictures, commemorating the almost 5 years they spent out there..and the more than a few times I was able to visit..Look out for much fun and mayhem to come!! ;)

Poster Art

I was tripping around google yesterday, looking for Hotel des Arts pictures, when I stumbled upon this site , the Obama Art Report. They had done a little post/advertisement for the New art 08 show..anyhow, they had a really neat post on this other website called Poster Offensive. They have a host of great politcal posters that are available to download and print out..these are a few of my fav's..

Newman's Own

I wanted to cut a stencil to honor Mr. Paul Newman's life..but it still isn't coming out right. So, instead I thought I would digitize him on the atc backgrounds I posted a few posts back...here are just a few of the great pictures available of him online..I have to say that there are quite a few things I have always admired about this man; his liberal views, his catalog of great movies, his line of popcorn..but mostly, the relationship that was projected between he and his wife. I sometimes struggle with my codependancy, I'm getting better as I get older..but I'm often reminded of the relationship between Paul Newman and his wife Joanne Woodward. I heard her say one time that one of the strengths in their own relationship was that they each had different interests. She loves stage plays..he loves racing. So they would both go out and have these different experiences and then bring the stories back to share with each other. I love that.









I found all of these pics on google.. I guess the story on this last one is that this was one of the few races that Joanne actually went to (that's her in the background in the hat)..could that be the reason behind the especially happy grin??

Holy sheet music, batman

I was playing around last night with my newly cut Bodega French Laundry Stencil, on some scraps of background papers that I have laying around...:) Whatcha think?
