Nordstrom and Converse

The lovely Maria Filar passed this along to me. I took the photos :) It is rare for me to actually see where my work goes most of the time. Turn arounds here are super quick and the work keeps on coming. 

I work at Converse now....

And this is my new friend Sam here, he is an archivist!  

Other blog is updated!

Piggy

Matt and I made a cake for my best friend Allison... she is going to be a pig farmer and that was our inspiration. I did the making of things and Matt made the magic happen. 

            

           

            

           

        

 

         

           

Kirchoff Sisters

Kirchoff Sisters... I feel like they are going to be a great art duo someday. Hopefully I will get to witness it. We went to the D.I.A. to catch a baby piano performance, my favorite part was our seats. We enjoyed the benches made of deep cushions and marble. I felt like we were in a tree house for a club meeting. 

Return of the lil guy!

I've been taking my lil guy camera around with me and it has been lots of fun :) 

Ryan came home for the weekend to be interviewed and to see me! We visited his grandpa in the hospital, ate a delicious lunch and visited his pop's car shop. It is always nice when Ryan comes back into town. 

Valentines Day was the best with my boo <3 We had dinner at Bastone in Royal Oak and even got the same booth as last year. It is such a great place for us since it has food we can both enjoy. We were off of our fit schedule for the night and enjoyed the joy of beer tasting and potato eating. The cinema and an exchange of epic presents still makes me smile.

  

Tuesday after work I headed over to Matt's house to photograph some of his lil figures to trade online. We had the best studio in his bathroom and this is the photo I loved best because it looks like they are all having a dance off. 

My mom treated me to dinner and a knitting class. According to Panera she is WANITA haha. Knitting came easily to me... but as you can see I wasn't counting my stitches and got a fan look to my first sample. 

Mis Caras (My Faces)

My professor Kyohei Abe asked that I send him my video self-portrait from 2007. I tried to upload it a while ago and failed somehow. Well here it is freshly uploaded.

Monkey Bear

Matt had his 25th birthday this past November <3 Well love drove me to decorate my first cake with TRUE piping (pug pups were the latter)... all I could think of were monkeys and bears when it came to Matt. The baking and trying to make four layers as smooth as possible took all night, as for the actual piping I had an hour to work with. Overall it took forever, was almost gone in a few minutes and absolutely worthwhile.
