arts taking over my world.

art school is ruling my life again. whats new? i have been nonstop drawing facial features and the anatomy of the human body as well as wrapping it up with my first painting in my painting II class. this is another spin off of the butterfly painting. instead of butterflies, i took a few of my favorite vintage brooches and took them to the test. the top honey bee brooch was a doozy. im not so much of a fan, but the bottom two i was surprisingly pleased with. lets just all keep our fingers crossed that by professor is just as pleased in my critique tomorrow. i can't get over how much it's been feeling like finals week and i still have a month and a half to go. it's been a busy bee semester, one that has dragged on like a pile of bricks tied to my ankles and sinking me under to the bottom of the sea. dramatic, i am very aware but honestly... im ready to get spring and summer time a rollin' and be done with these classes. they haven't been so hot for me. blah. (sorry, bottom photo is a little fuzzy. took it with my iphone.)

the king & kelly.

if most of you dont know by now, i absolutely adore grace kelly. i go bonkers over anything under the sun of the princess of monaco. i'd love to sit down, chat and have a bite of cake with her if i could. my new secret pleasure is a show on the cw called, "hart of dixie." my kind of show, based out of the deep south, alabama, in a small town called dixie, where southern belles take over and a new yorker has to find her way of life through the southern commotion. the leader of the belles is played by, jamie king who i now just adore. her character in the show is lemon, breland... LEMON: how much more southern can you get? And her getup in the show is nothing less than perfect. she is the reason im glued to this sitcom. i couldn't help but think, she is so grace kelly. everything about her from her hair, to complexion to her style, minus her attitude... jamie king is todays grace kelly and its so fun to sit and compare the two because my mind is blown. i now look to king as a modern fashion influence of the late grace kelly. these two i just can't get enough of. if you find the time, sit down and take a breather, drink some sweet lemonade and tune into to the 'hart of dixie.'

zekey zoo, my valentine.

valentines day was a real success and quite the treat. i think after my fair share of planning, zekey zoo and i have created a tradition for valentines day, which is : take out, set up a restaurant at home, swap home made gift and trinkets and listen to some ray charles, frank sinatra, billie holiday, you name it. it was great to just sit in and kick it rather than beat the love bird crowds out in the streets. especially after days of school and work, nesting inside from the cool weather is a treat. on to the next year of love. hope you all had a great valentines day. now let's wrap this week up with a bang and scoot ourselves closer to warmer weather and bluer skies. we     are     almost     there.......

happy valentines day!

happy valentines day readers! whether you have a valentine or not, spend the day expressing your love you have for those who are dear to you! sometimes i wish i was still in elementary school because i always had a field day handing out my valentines to every student in the class. but the older i get, the more excited the holiday can become. i work the mail system sending out valentine postcards,  i can create a production with an assortment of holiday decor, and cook up a storm of x's and o's in the kitchen (even though im cheating this year and having take-out. whoops). either way, however you celebrate this day, i hope you do so with a cheerful heart. for now, i'll be slabbing oil on a canvas before i treat the zekey zoo to a fun filled night! happy valentines day to all of you!

while you snooze, we'll cruise.

ready, set, jump into the deep blue sea of the mexican riviera please. don't mind if i do. it's a done deal. three of my gal pals and I are making way for a trip down the riviera on a boat come may. my mind could not be set on anything else. i am in need of a tropical getaway with some bronzing sun rays, summer sun dresses and great company. i've already been planning on what to pack my bags with. a little tickled too to gain another travel stamp in that passport of mine. never have i ever been to mexico, so with wandering eyes i'll be snapping photos left and right, hoping to capture some great architecture and candids of my friends and i. really, i can hardly stand myself right now. i am so ready to set sail.

a little sweet to hold me over, valentines day : i have been looking forward to tomorrow for a week now. im surprising zekey zoo with a perfect little night. yes, I AM PLANNING IT. call me the greatest girlfriend in the world. i've gone a little loco with decor and crafts and i must say, im having the best of times preparing it all for my dream boat. and yes, finally, i plan on taking some photos of my life, that does exist. i still know where my camera is i haven't completely ignored it yet. it's just that, this time of year isn't too kind to the appearance of one such as myself. and i'd rather not be photographed, but i'll buck up for tomorrow.

happy early valentines and please, lets all keep our fingers crossed that this week shall fly by! this semester of art school is a little depressing...

spring ahead early with a sale.
