Small Road Trips and Super Bowl

We made it to the super bowl!! Yayay. Yes, I’m a Seahawks fan.. and I’m stoked. M and I are going to be driving south tomorrow to my Mama’s house so that he can grab his pick-up. We’re going to do Super Bowl at a friends house in Salem and then M is heading home and I’m heading back to Eugene to work on business stuff with my Aunt.

Turns out, my Padre is also going to be coming up this weekend from California! That’s pretty rad and I’m happy about it.

I really need to finish up my Jackalope paintings because I’m going to give them to a friend for her birthday. So I guess that’s probably what I’m doing today. We’ll see!

Same Old, Same Old

You know, I went grocery shopping today and something really pissed me off. Allow me to share.

Soy milk. If I buy a big container it goes bad before I can drink it all. My local grocery store doesn’t carry small single containers. I can buy a four pack for double the price of the big container, but it doesn’t have as much soy milk! Arrrrghhh!

So, that was my big thorn today. Otherwise everything’s fine. I purchases The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. I’ve read it before but since the new volume is out I want to re-read it and be super fresh!

Hmmmmm.

I made a few more feather pieces. One with peacock feathers and another with some pretty pheasant feathers and bells. Pics to come.

Project: Poquito Casa Day #1

Well, I had a rough start and some set backs but I am finished with day 1 of the Poquito Casa project. I got so much stuff cleaned.. though I haven’t necessarily found where I’m going to put the stuff that was inside of the trailer. Namely my saddle and tack. I scrubbed the floors, ceiling and everything in between. At least 2/3rds of the trailer.

Because I got started so late I didn’t realize I would run out of light by 4pm. I have power in there, but it’s not really illuminated enough for me to be sure I’m cleaning everything properly. Plus I want to do a second round on the table and benches. I might have to get some upholstery cleaner. My dad thinks he has some.

I also need to scrub the ice box and oven with some fine steel wool and carwax. I already tested a spot and it gets rid of the stains that my BrightGreen and Bleach wouldn’t do.

I have no blinds, no curtains, nothing on the windows. I’m kind of concerned about that. There are five sets of windows in that thing, of all different sizes, and half of the windows don’t have curtain rods.  Now, if I had a sewing machine, I wouldn’t be freaking out. I have enough random clothes/material/pillow cases I could just sew up some nice curtains. But I DON’T. So. Any make-shift recommendations?

Things for Part Deux:

  1. Push Pins
  2. Tiny mirrors in different shapes

My First Montage
