He’s not the most handsome piggy in the world. I don’t know why haphazard looks so cute on other people’s things and hideous on my own. I am almost embarrassed to use him what I made him for. Oh well.

He was originally (in his pattern) an ornament, and riding a box with wheels. I am hoping to use him for the white elephant at work. A couple of us bought Heifer animals. I got chicks, and my box has little chicks. My neighbor bought part of a piggy.

Pig tails are hard!

Maybe it’s silly of me, but whenever I am driving (which is a lot), I always expect more of the people who sport stickers with my chosen candidate on them. I also watch the people with the other candidates’ stickers more closely to look for idiotic behavior. Honestly, the only thing I can come up with from my observations is that everyone is a shitty, selfish driver.

I am proud to say that Erica, the recipient of Lumpy Bird, has posted some beautiful pictures of him in her blog. I look forward to making more, with the added bonus of magnets in their bellies so that they stay perched at work! I’m also working on a pattern for a heart-shaped face sort of bird. Well… my mom is helping. Because that’s what moms do.

Speaking of work, I have a shelf, and soon plants! They are sitting downstairs and awaiting transport. Maybe tomorrow I will borrow the Canon and get a shot or two in. When I’m not shooting myself in the head.

I can’t keep up with all these changes, man! VIC work is almost done and *gasp* I’m actually digging it. Then I start in on super production for VIC two. (All clients are Very Important. With capitals)

Here’s a tease for the new layout:

Shiiiiiny.

Also, how cool is this? I want to do it… One day… when I have my own place… Even an apartment could do it.

I know, I know! I had grand plans for updating, then life smacked me in the face with a floppy, wet trout. That smelled of client work, instead of personal work.

But I have been stacking up projects to do! So that’s good, right? And I love my VIC sort of a lot. They’re like “dude. our website is fucked up.”

It totally is.

I’m totally going to fix it! … with help. Lots of help. And maybe some cookies from Becky, my favorite PM.

So, back to projects! I already have the pattern cut out on fabric, AND the pieces pinned for these:

I just need to find the time to drag the sewing machine to a useable space. And then, I’m thinking it won’t be too hard to make my own pattern for this:

But wait to laugh at that comment until I actually make it. I thought it wouldn’t be hard to make (and I will re-make) that car catch-all, but it was a disaster! I will post the results when I am happy with them.

Also I was thinking of adding wings to the birds? I’ll see how I feel. Maybe make a few with and a few without.

I haven’t updated my blog in a LONG time. So that is the 2% of me that is not Win.  But that other 98% is 100% win…

Yea. You heard me.

Things that make me full of win:

1. I won $250 worth of gas cards from the radio and got to be on the radio. And heard myself.
2. I have a possible job with Atlas Rich Media, #2 for Web Advertising Solutions. Also owned by Microsoft, which means I am basically rolling in perks if I take it/officially get it
3. I have a possible job in the Akron area with Digital Day Creative. The apt I would get is effing SUHWEET
4. I have 3 other interviews in the upcoming weeks

Look at that win!
