Early Christmas present

Jill Bliss's line-art drawings inspire me. Something draws me to her style and color choices in her artwork.

Its always great to see an artist capture a certain style. If you have ever seen the notebook I always have with me to jot down a million things, its one of the journals she had published. Her stuff is sold on Amazon and at Barnes and Nobles.

My friend Jessica (Jo Jo) and I went down to Portland for a weekend and one morning a craft fair was taking place at the bottom of our hotel. Coincidently Jill Bliss was there and I was happy to meet the artist I discovered several years ago. She was sweet.

I really want this posters of hers and will grab the frame from Ikea. I could buy it myself but figured it would be more sentimental if someone got it for me and well, I never need much of anything when it comes to gifts.

She has a flickr site where you can follow her latest projects and a website with an online store.

Another item I want for christmas is a gift card to sockdreams.com. They are in portland and offer free shipping. I LOVE their knee socks and stockings!!!!! http://www.sockdreams.com/products/gift-cards/

I also want a membership to the Seattle Art Museum (SAM) because I go there at least 5 times a year.

I couldn't add that stuff to my ongoing amazon list: http://amzn.com/w/38P0V8AW6BEYF

Now the big question is.....what do YOU want?

Its been a while since I posted here. May was an insanely busy but AMAZING. There was the Highline High School fundraiser dinner. I never recalled my high school having fundraisers and since I don't have kids, I told Carinna I would join her for her school's fundraiser auction/dinner. It was fun, I won a bottle of nice wine and 3 of us bid on the "Taste of Highline dinner" where several moms and staff would make meals passed down from their families. We were able to invite up to 10 friends. There was Italian, Somalian, Soul, Mexican, and Hawaiian. There may have been another but I forget. It was sooooo yummy and was hosted at a house that was on Lake Burien. They told us there may be a boat involved. The boat turned out to be a battery operated dock that quietly moved in the water. That was a riot. It was a beautiful evening with stories of the meals with some of my favorite seattle friends. The weather had finally taken a turn for the nicer so for my friend Sar

Summer came and went

Where did the summer go and what did I do. SOOOOO much. It was a great summer. I only ended up camping once but it was a good one. I went to PARIS! Which was gorgeous, romantic, rich in foods and simply breathtaking.  I wish I had time to post highlights of my summer but I can only suggest to check out all my photos since May on Flickr. It was a good summer in Seattle.
