Emerald City Comicon 2011!

Oh Comicon... you are so wonderful!!!

It was a good day! A day that consisted of meeting artists, buying nerdy things, and watching people walk around dressed up as crazy cool and crazy weird things...

like this giant headed chewbacca... he looks like he used an oversized oatmeal box to make his mask!

And then there was this guy, who was a Jack Nicholson-esque Joker...

And a pretty awesome Batman... who was scaring the crap out of a little boy.

And Anti-venom who left a pretty nasty residue on the side of Eric's shirt.

And when Eric went on Friday he ran into these people - Julia dressed as Catwoman *MEOW*.

And then Aquaman - who couldn't leave home without his sandals and a bottle of water... hehe.

And then the Adam West batman couple.

And the best photo bomb EVER!
More to come with our original art work that we got and the artists we met.
Probably our most amazing Con to date!

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off. This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it! I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

Merry Craftmas!!

When I was little Mom had one of these to put out every Christmas. I remember her tossing it out having fixed its hot glue after every warm summer in the shed, she wasn't particularly attached to it but I was. Having collected enough baby food jars (finally) I put it together this weekend! Looks just like I remember it and now it is sitting in my closet awaiting its debut next weekend!

R is for Ronnebeck!
