my favorite month

The sun setting on my 30th birthday!

I guess I'm supposed to be an adult now.

Here's what I've been up to this month...

I attended WeMake's new event series called sketchXchange featuring the lovely, Mary Kate McDevitt. It was so much fun chatting and sketching. Check out a video and photos from the night. By the way, there's a great shot of my key tattoo.

Riding the bus over the coastal range to Portland. I was too tired to make the drive. Thank goodness for the Wave.

My cousin invited me to take care of her dogs while she was out of town. So, I spent five relaxing days at her house in Vegas.

My sis gave me these flats for my bday!

Birdy growled and barked at me every morning. She wanted me to hurry up and feed her breakfast. So funny!

Sunny enjoying his new indestructible toy. Apparently, this is the same toy given to polar bears at zoos. He loved it!

Loving my new ring I scored in Vegas. I'm still deciding on a name for him. Suggestions?

Hands down my favorite part of my birthday was seeing radiohead in Seattle! I loved standing next to my sister singing along at the top of my lungs. Our pal Ben shot this video. What a great night!

Thanks friends and family for making my birthday so radical!

Love you, guys!

back in vegas

My apologies for the lack of blogging the past few weeks. I've been busy traveling and celebrating my birthday. I'm currently house/dog-sitting in Vegas. My plan is to relax, write letters and blog a little bit.

Last week I mentioned a birthday gift I made for a friend that inspired my new packets. Her name is Shannon, but I call her dirtbike. We met in art school in Oakland and immediately hit it off. We bonded over our mutual love of weaving and dyeing.
I was a couple weeks late in sending her a birthday present. So, I made her lots of little gifts to make up for the tardiness. She was kind enough to share pictures she shot as she opened each lil packet.

I made the tiny notebook into an altered book.

I made this mini 2" notebook into a birthday card.

Thanks for sharing your pictures with me, dirtbike!

Love you, girl.
