I'm BAD!

You know it, come on!

I'm only wearing one fingerless glove*. It's cold in the office and that's all I can find.

I have had a weekend filled with in-laws and sleep deprivation and plumbing. All I want to do is hide under my duvet and the weekends are never long enough and can't we have enough economic unrest that we only get to work a 3 day week? I would be quite happy with that as long as I could keep my little house and its duck-down duvet.

* ETA: That is only as in "Only one of two", not only as in "I am nekkid apart from one fingerless glove". It's far too cold for that.

Insanity!

We are going to have the most wierd house in the world, ever! Seriously, all that art and now I've gone and bought some vinyl cow stickers to vamp up the stinky fridge, and I've also bought enough to stick onto the new washing machine (I think I ordered a white one) that's being delivered tomorrow.

This weekend is going to be a crafty one - I've got to stay behind at work tonight to do some screen printing since my Keep Calm and Carry On cushions are selling like hot cakes, as are the tote bags. I'm also filling out my first sale or return order for a retail shop just off Carnaby Street in London, how very exciting!

This morning my paint samples arrived in the post - the house is going to look like a patchwork quilt after I get my hands on it. All I want to do it paint, I want it to look nice, not like some scummy messed-up house that other people have lived in! I've almost painted over the brown gloss(!) paint in the bedroom. I'm debating whether to actually paint over the rubbishy half-falling off wallpaper or to do a proper job first time round and strip the wallpaper and re-plaster the walls. I have a feeling we might be putting up with patchwork paintwork for a long time if I decide to re-plaster.



These are two more prints that I bought yesterday from yellowmonday on etsy. <3

Art for Art's Sake

I just went wild with my paypal account. Somebody stop me! I thought I'd browse the art on DaWanda and etsy. I picked 3 prints from DaWanda (actually one is an original ACEO) and before I'd got to the 4th search page on etsy I'd bought 4 more prints. Really, that's it now!



Xmas

Enjoy. These three are from LaSrtaPil on DaWanda.

I'll blog the others later.

Last Chance Saloon

This weekend is the last chance to comment on the Halloween PIF giveaway.

This is a bit strange

This be my DaWanda shop. Note the precious poster (one which I have had on my desk since April).



This be the Keep Calm Gallery website. This post says that it's "new" on 23/07/08.

I've lost all feeling in my legs. I don't mind we've both got similar posters, perhaps we both came up with it at the same time, perhaps there are only so many ways to draw a cloud... But I'm pissed that they're getting more net exposure than I am, and I've only sold 1 of these prints since I've had them on etsy and DaWanda from April.

Le sigh.
