I started this Star Wars X-Wing embroidery while waiting in line for Episode 3 and just now have gotten around to finishing it. Definitely not the best made pillow in the world but it’ll do.

Last week, at the Thrift Store, I found this adorable children’s bedspread. I don’t have children, nor am I planning on having any in the near future but I just couldn’t pass it up! When I showed it to Jim he said it kinda weirded him out. Guess he has issues with puppets.
How cute [...]

I bought a ton of Yoko Ono Poms the other day for a small get together we were having. I love the “Kermit-ness” of them! And since they’re so cheap, you can buy a bunch and separate them into different vases in different rooms.
I pulled out the Fishy Vase I had made at least [...]

I hope she doesn’t think, “Oh great, another handmade something from Vanessa.” I can’t help [...]

Ah, Jim bought tickets to see Willie Nelson in Alpine last night as a part Birthday, part Valentine’s Day gift. He was absolutely wonderful! There were rumors about the state of his health last year but it’s nice to see he’s bounced back with flying colors. Mr. Dan Rathers was there as well commemorating [...]

Since we just happened to be passing through Valentine, Tx on our way to see Willie in Alpine, figured it would be kinda cute to send out cards from there. I know, faces on inanimate objects is overused but it’s just so much fun to draw.
Whee, only 10 more hours before Willie and I [...]
Open Road
We finally made our way to Marfa, Tx a couple weekends ago. It’s a small town about 3 hours outside of El Paso that has become very popular in the art scene. I’ll make sure to post a pic and talk about the Chinati Foundation in the future.
If anyone is in the area, I [...]
