it took forever, but i finally finished some new artwork for purchase on society6. with valentine's day just around the corner, you are already loving or hating it.

if you love it and love parks and rec (and loved my valentine's day cards from last year), you will love this.



but if you hate it, well, this one is for all my single ladies.



prints, stationary cards, pillows, totes and phone cases available for purchase on society6.

our home decorating is expanding little by little. last week we added some things that are more boyfriend-friendly. i made a hobbit-inspired sign for the kitchen as LOTR is one of his favorite movie series. we have a 2013 hobbit calendar in the kitchen still, and even though no longer relevant, i don’t mind leaving it up on december because of legolas. dreamy, elfy, legolas.



the boyfriend also finally finished his lego tie fighter that i got him for christmas. his love of movies is quite grand, so i am glad our home can show it (other than the mountains of dvds on the shelf).



i had forgotten that i gave some of my bracelets to a friend who loves them, so i found time to remake some. i am started to dig more natural colors than my usual black and grey. it is nice to accessorize my wrists with something other than hair ties every once in a while.



friday’s lunch date was on the top of little si. it was cloudy that day, but we heard on the radio that it would be in the 60s above the cloud line, so we had to go enjoy it for ourselves. as the sun cut through on our way up, we couldn’t help but feel like we were in fork, wa where they filmed twilight. it was indeed a perfect day to play vampire baseball.



and did i mention stairs? 272 of them? 8 times? my calves are pretty pissed off about it. let’s see if i can make this a weekly thing.

i promised myself to do personal work (i mean, who doesn't?) and so i started with something simple. like a movie quote. i couldn't pick just any quote.



it is also my first adventure into hand typography. i hope to do more in the upcoming year.

happy sunday, folks. i had absolutely nothing to do today and wasn't feeling particularly focused, so why not put on a comfy outfit to get a donut and coffee then spend the day organizing?



now that we are finally settled here in seattle after a month and a half, i finally got around to setting up my home office. our one bedroom is quite small, so it was difficult to carve out a work space that conor and i didn't have to share. while he works from a cozy corner in the living room, i figured out how to use the chaise behind the bed as my office nook.



i ended buying a shelf from ikea that matched the bedframe and installed it to the back of the headboard. all i had to do was add a lamp and organize the bookshelf to have all my office essentials within reach. ta-da. let the productivity begin!



to wrap up being organized, i made myself a new notepad to stay on top of the multiple jobs i have. 2014 is about being more focused and not multitask too much in one day. three days a week for design, two days a week for training and one day for research and crafting. not bad for a lazy sunday.
