Backyard BBQ

Brian and a squash friend from Choice Greene.

We had an impromptu backyard barbecue on Friday complete with grilled shrimp and veggies. Even in the shade it was almost too hot come mid-afternoon, but we powered through and it ended up being really nice. We're planning round two for the Fourth of July, so hopefully the weather stays sunny but cools down. In the meantime I'm staying put in front of my air conditioner.

Want: Andres Gallardo

I've been looking for a porcelain elephant necklace for the past month, and these ones by Andres Gallardo are exactly what I want. All of them.

Lana Del Ray and the Blue Eagle

I may have to hit up Salvation Army at some point and figure out how to DIY my porcelain figurine obsession, but until then I think I've found the best alternative via Ackilee on etsy. Simple but super cute (and affordable!)

Summer To Do List

To Do:

1. Write more

2. Read more

3. Learn Photoshop

4. Can fresh vegetables

5. Figure my life out

Sitting in the grass at Pratt.

I made a clover flower necklace like I used to when I was a kid. I think it goes pretty well with the stone necklace I made for my etsy shop.

Another stone necklace with neon pink rope! After a long photo shoot I can't get the colors quite right--both the pink and blue are more vibrant. This is my favorite item in my shop right now.

Polka dot plimsols!

Envelopes I made out of origami paper and washi tape for my sticker packs.

Shop Update: Fringe Tee

New shirt up on etsy!

We took some action shots to show off the full twirling abilities of the fringe.

This face as well as the others I'm making in these pictures are my go-to picture-taking faces and one of the reasons why I am so un-photogenic.

I bought this t-shirt at Salvation Army a few years ago and turned it into a crop top with fringe, and I never wear it so I figured I'd throw it up on the shop! It's cute and, as you can see in the above pictures, fun to wear, so it needs to be fully appreciated!

Misery Loves Company & Coffee Shops

Being with friends who are also unemployed and/or completely apprehensive about the future makes the job search slightly less painful. That is all the insight I have on that. Now back to Craigslist.
