this past week we bought something pretty fun from craigslist! it’s a great bedroom set from the 60’s and it’s yellow. oh but it doesn’t stop there. it’s green too!! check out the photos below to find out more!
here it is!
cute little mirror and dresser.
the yellow panels can be removed. and on the other side of the panels…
it’s green!
i bought some kombucha and daffodils to brighten up the new bedroom today at the ballard market!
i made some special squirrel yum yum and heart valentine’s day cookies today. i also found a pretty good recipe for vegan royal icing…and added some pink food coloring. yum yum! everyone loves pink cookies!
these squirrels are in love!
this year i decided to make valentine’s day cards at the last minute. i had a rubber stamp with a pretty lady on it. while browsing at a stamp store i found something that i thought would look great with it. and so pretty lady valentine’s were born!
i had a great few days at the print shop this week! today was my last day at the daycare. it was kind of sad, but i’m so so happy to be moving on! and i come home to this today! yummy yummy surprises!!
this has been a successful week!
this week i was hired at H&L printing. H&L prints sports apparel for mostly local teams. i will be one of two screen printers for the company. i’m pretty excited to start this job! i’ve been looking for a print job for a long long time and i’m so happy that this has finally come along!
last night eric and i had a celebratory dinner at bamboo garden.
after some food we went to fremont to check out some records. i decided i had to pee and i also wanted chocolate, so off to PCC i go! i came across these little gems!
go max go foods makes vegan candy bars. these are the equivalent to snickers, milky ways, almond joys, and three musketeer bars. oh my goodness! i bought two and they were amazing!! i’m so so happy these now exist!
i came home with these two finds!…silversun pickups “carnavas,” and this sweet indiana jones record!
i used to listen to the silversun pickups album all the time in the print shop at bloom. it’s fun to have it on vinyl now.
i do believe this is my favorite silversun pickups song…oddly enough the video was directed by joaquin phoenix. weird.
fun weekend so far! tomorrow eric and i will be going to a model train show in monroe, wa, and then we will be watching the super bowl with a few friends.
what a great week!
February 6th, 2010 by sarah | 2 Comments »yesterday eric and i went on a little trip to whidbey island. whidbey is just east of seattle.
we saw plenty of fun things and have the photos to prove it!
eric made a little gallery for us so check them out on the link below!!
this past weekend nikki from san francisco came to seattle for a little visit. we showed her around the city and some of our favorite places outside the city.
eric so kindly made a little photo album of our photos from this weekend. click here to see it!
i think my favorite photo from this weekend is the one below. nikki and i are standing on an observation deck at snoqualmie falls. it’s not foggy…it’s just the mist coming up from the falls. fun!
yesterday was arkaedi’s second birthday! the birthday girl had chocolate cake, tons of presents, and a special birthday surprise from us. check out the photos to see the excitement!!
last night i spent the last few hours of 2009 with some of my favorite people, ate some amazing homemade “turkey,” that jaime made for us, and eric and i rang in the new year at gasworks park overlooking seattle and watching fireworks from the space needle!
i posted the photos from last night below, but here’s a video that someone took at the space needle last night. this is apparently what we would have seen if the city hadn’t been covered in fog! there’s some music to go along with the fireworks display too! i’m surprised at the amount of explosives they’re allowed to set off from the needle too. some, i guess lucky, people are in the needle while the fireworks are going off!
oh!! and arkaedi turned two years old today! happy birthday arkaedi! we’re going over to the barkers this afternoon for a birthday celebration. i’m sure there will be more photos!
last night i had quite the little dream.
i was planning on taking an amtrak train to an unknown location at 4pm. i looked at a clock and saw that is was almost 4:30. i rushed off to the train station to find out that it was only 1:30. apparently i went back in time on my way to the station.
it seemed as though i was taking a trip with my friend jessie since she was waiting for me at the station. we went to find our seats but i was having some trouble carrying one of my bags. i had a big bag, it was about the size of a pillow case, but it was filled with pressed pennies. i ended up dropping the bags of pennies and all over the train they went. there was a man there who was helped me them up.
in the middle of cleaning them up they magically turned into tiny plastic animals. this didn’t phase me, and i continued to pick up the animals. i found a cup on the floor that i was using to clean up.
i also found out there there was dirt on the floor. things happened in the dream that didn’t make sense, but i never questioned them.
i was picking animals up with the cup along with the dirt and throwing them back in the bag. coach taylor from “friday night lights,” was standing beside me on the train. some of the dirt flew out of the bag and coach taylor said…”be careful! we’re all going to get worms from that dirt! we already live in the basement!”
and that was that. pressed pennies, animals and coach taylor. good story sarah!

over the past month or two i started making some artwork that actually excites me! it has been a while since that has happened. i’m moving from work on a flat piece of paper to wood blocks in sizes like 4″x4″, 5″x5″, 4″x6″ and 10″x10″. these blocks of wood are also 1.5″ deep. they’re wall pieces and are meant to hang flush against the wall.
the first one i made was actually a christmas gift for eric. i didn’t show anyone what i was working on so i didn’t have any feedback on whether these prints were appealing or not. i was kind of nervous to give it to eric in case it was so appealing. i didn’t want to give something to someone that wasn’t ascetically pleasing. lucky for me and lucky for eric he actually really enjoyed the print!
there are still of course things to need to be tweaked with the processes i’m using. i’m working with photos and text again but most of the editing is being done digitally. i used to layer photos and text together separately with different plates, but now i pretty much have to combine everything together to get the look i’m going for. this is pretty different than how i’m used to working, but i’m excited to just be working again!
