Day Forty Five

Valentine's Day!

This is the second Valentine's Day my husband and I have been together. I think Mitch must have been working last year because I cannot remember it at all, but this year was awesome. In fact, it's the best day I can remember! We didn't even really have gifts for each other or anything, but we spent the day together and both tried really hard to be kind and loving and let go of the things that bother us about each other, at least for the day. It was so amazing! I hope so much that eventually this can be how we are all the time... for now we're still working on it.

ANYhoo... since the hubs and I spent the day out having fun and being in love with each other, I didn't have much time to create anything.

I decided to make a Valentine's Day heart snowflake. I tried to make an elegant heart,  but yeah.... Mitch said it looks like emo hearts, and I think they look like evil nightmare owls that want to eat your soul. Not exactly romantic. At all.

 
But it's all good, I had a great day and I'm not going to let a failed art attempt ruin it! 

Day Thirty

I really want to dye my jeans (oh man I keep forgetting to put my pictures on here during the day and then when I write my post for the day I'm ready to go to bed and don't do it then either... sorry about that) but I can't get to the store to buy dye because hubby dear has our only car at work all the time. We're working on getting another car soon. So since I can't do the jeans and I'm sick of the rug (poor abandoned thing) I just made a couple snowflakes today. Mitch is so sick of my snowflakes. They are ALL OVER the house, and I always get tiny little paper scraps everywhere.

I was more ambitious today... I made PEOPLE snowflakes.

First I tried a dude. he turned out ok. Proportions are a bit off.

Then I tried a Marylin Monroe-esque woman, who turned out much better. I didn't use the best scissors so both are a bit messy.

I drew arrows to the face that is the best: the further down the fold is when you're cutting, the weirder it looks. If that makes any sense. And sorry the photos are a bit blurry. Shame on my for not checking and re-doing them.

Day Twenty Nine

Another quickie... just made a little snowflake in the last few minutes of the day.

I made it out of a page from a book about tumors... so the front (which I like better) is just text, and the back has a photo of a magnified tumor. Gross, but I actually think those photos look pretty cool and can even be beautiful.
