Ahh, wintertime. Time for much needed resting and nesting. Especially nesting since I moved (AGAIN) last August. And while the hanging of art and perfect placement of all our shit is a constant game of musical chairs, things are finally coming together.

It’s cluttered and and sort of awkwardly tall. Kind of like me. I adore it, really. Eat your hearts out.

Happy 2012 errbody!

I realize I’m late on this, but I’m late on most things so I’ll keep it brief.

2012 is gonna be GREAT! Eat your hearts out kiddos!

Fancy Toast: Work Jangle

Working retail, sporting some serious jangle (or “neck tackle”, a term i just invented), you know, LIVING THE DREAM(it helps to believe).

From the top: Scarlett Garnet Year of the Rabbit Necklace, Jangle I made today at work, Super-secret-friendship-heart necklace (other half owned by best friend, Lindsay Mistretta)

In other news there has been a SCANDALOUS showing of midriff happening today. Plz don’t tell my mom. Also, special guest appearance from……. my phone? Do try to contain your excitement.

Well, this has been fun, hasn’t it? Eat your hearts out, princes and princesses.

Living With Chronic Resting Bitchface

OH, HEY YOU GUYS!! Yeah, I’ve been not doing the New Years resolution that I’d set out to do (yeah, the one where I was all “I’m gonna blog more”). SO WHAT, I’m trying (barely).

I knew you’ll all respect my honesty about my failures. But, lets take a moment to talk about my extremely mild successes: I believe I have been excelling in the area of my winter lipstick game.

Also, I’ve been really relishing the way my new spectacles pair with a dark plum lipstick to create the most terminal of chronic resting bitchfaces.

If looking this bitchy is wrong, I don’t wanna be right. Eat your hearts out,

New-Baby-Smell & an Aubergine Jellyfish

Some dear friends of mine had their first child last month and as I mentioned in a previous post, I busied myself painting a jellyfish for their sea-themed nursery. You may be saying to yourself “mpL, you certainly don’t seem like a ‘baby person’” and mostly you’d be right; Except for my friend’s children. I adore the children of my friends. They induce a squishy-snuggley feeling inside my heart one can only really define as baby-love. Anyway, this is Penelope Adele:

She probably looks just like every baby, but I swear she looks just like perfection. Anyways, this is my first ever gift to her. Hopefully it never gives her nightmares.

Slayer of Hearts, Destroyer of Nipples, Penelope “Penny” Adele, Keeper of the Aubergine Jellyfish.

Eat your hearts out,
