I think Someone had a Stinky Foot Party in the Elevator and Happy Easter!

Seriously, it was the most hardcore foot odor I have ever smelt!

But anyway...

Things that happened this week:

I made my first ever (turkey) meatloaf and it was sooo good!

I worked on lots of custom orders

I exhausted my mind grapes thinking about Renegade Craft Fair (it's my first time as a stall holder so I'm a bit excited)

and I found out my little sister is getting married!

Happy Easter and I hope you have a great weekend!

I's, Me's and My's

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!  Mine was really lovely, my husband took me out for dinner at Pace.  It was the first time we'd been and it was amazing...the atmosphere, the food, it was divine except for one minor thing - we we're seated next to a  loud "I, Me and My" couple.  I've heard about them existing but I had never actually experienced it first hand until then.  It was quite an incredible night of monologues!  And then it happened again the next day when we were out at lunch, two for two with the I's, Me's and My's!  Anyway, I'm doing a little bit of that right now so I shall leave you with a custom portrait I did awhile back of a sweet couple and their two hairless cats.  Happy Monday!

The Lost and Found Girl

 

Meet Monica.  She is a treasure seeker and finds beauty in unexpected places.  She works at a local video store that specialises in VHS and occasionally worries about job security as it is becoming  quite obsolete.  Her favourite treat is churros con cajeta .

I'm baaack with a "what I wore"...

It feels weird to be painting and in blogger land again after taking almost three weeks off.  I had the loveliest time with my parents, lots of conversation, laughter, silly moments and way too much food consumption!  It was a blast but I'm ready to get back to my usual routine of  hours of internet surfing, blogging and painting (and a wee bit of chores in between!)  And so,  here is my what I wore from last week when I went to The Original Farmers Market with my parents.

 

Cable knit beanie - Asos

Woolen coat - Vintage (used to belong to my mum)

Sweater - Zara

Denim shorts - Madewell

Tights - Macy's

Boots - Opening Ceremony 

Bag - Vintage

Some time off...

 

It's a pretty embarrassing photo but I thought I'd share it anyway in honor of my folks being in town.  I'm super excited because I haven't seen them since I moved here almost two years ago!  They're going to be here for the next 17 days and that's how long a break I'll be taking from blogging.  Ciao ciao!

Stolen Artwork

I've just been made aware by a lovely Etsy seller that a kids clothing company in Argentina has been stealing my designs for commercial use, this makes me angry and disappointed.  I don't watermark my images on my blog or etsy because I know not everyone can/wants buy a print or custom portrait and I think it's nice that people can save an image they like for personal use but when it's been used for profiteering like this...well geez! 

Edit (for everyone who asked how I responded to this): I contacted the company about said offense and am now to believe they have removed the items from their stores.
