Starbucks has remembered my birthday for the last 3 years. I’m starting to think they’re big-brothering me…

My studio space: where I spend a ton of time. A lot of times it acts as a coat rack while I work down in the sculpture studio space (where I can actually get messy), but my space is where a lot of my schtuff sleeps at night and comes alive during the day.
Just to give you an idea of the kind of chaos my life is in right now, here’s the space next to mine:
…and here’s where I occupy:
Finally, a teaser of what I’m working on. This is all you get! (PS, don’t let the cardboard fool you! I promise it won’t be kitschy!)
Back to work with me!

Currently Digging: Cute things from ban.do
I’m a lady. It’s in our contract to like cute, flowery and bright things—which is why I’m in love with ban.do. A lot of the stuff I couldn’t pull off (for example, my hair just couldn’t accommodate many of the flower headpieces) but everything on the site is either A) FUZZY 2) SPARKLY 3) SHINY or D) SOFT. Some things are all four of these things combined (don’t ask how that works)!
WARNING. LADIES. CUTE OVERLOAD.
Shoe clips, oh you fancy!
(My favorite is the rhinestone headband pictured on the bottom right!)
AND THEN there’s ban.do’s “Black Label” hairpieces, which I could neither 1) wear or II) afford but regardless, they’re pretty pretty…
Okay, enough’s enough. I’m about to have a cute seizure.

I wish that everything said this on it.
Dr. King is greeted on his return to the United States after receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, Oct. 31, 1964
“
The Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday celebrates the life and legacy of a man who brought hope and healing to America. We commemorate as well the timeless values he taught us through his example – the values of courage, truth, justice, compassion, dignity, humility and service that so radiantly defined Dr. King’s character and empowered his leadership. On this holiday, we commemorate the universal, unconditional love, forgiveness and nonviolence that empowered his revolutionary spirit.
We commemorate Dr. King’s inspiring words, because his voice and his vision filled a great void in our nation, and answered our collective longing to become a country that truly lived by its noblest principles. Yet, Dr. King knew that it wasn’t enough just to talk the talk, that he had to walk the walk for his words to be credible. And so we commemorate on this holiday the man of action, who put his life on the line for freedom and justice every day, the man who braved threats and jail and beatings and who ultimately paid the highest price to make democracy a reality for all Americans.
The King Holiday honors the life and contributions of America’s greatest champion of racial justice and equality, the leader who not only dreamed of a color-blind society, but who also lead a movement that achieved historic reforms to help make it a reality.
— Coretta Scott King

Can I tell you a secret? Today for the first time ever, I had one of my secrets published on PostSecret! (I’ve been sending in secrets for years.) The funniest thing about it is, it’s a secret I sent in over a year ago!
I won’t tell you which one is mine…just leave you to guess!
