Happy 32nd Birthday Hubby!

This past weekend I surprised Josh with a trip up to Napa! We stayed in Yountville. Can we say Thomas Keller paradise? yes, we can :) We rented bikes and went wine tasting/biking through the Stag's Leap District. The best thing was the bikes were electric, so you didn't have to pedal if you got tired!.. or in our case, lazy. :) We also had dinner at one of our fav restaurants Ad Hoc. What a great trip! Thank you napa valley, we will return soon! :)

New Hobby : Needle Felting

About a year ago I discovered this awesome art called Felting or Needle Felting. You have these special needles that are covered in little barbs and then you take loose wool roving and stab it with the needle, the barbs pull the tiny threads together and eventually build your felt into whatever shape you want! Its like sculpting but with fabric! Here is my latest piece I did. It was the cake topper for our wedding <3
I think all you Ghibli fans might recognize the inspiration :)
I also did a much larger piece for last years Lighting Dept art show. I'll be sure to get a picture up of that soon :)

Honeybadgers win and don't give a Sh*t

Looks like the honey badgers won the Lighting dept costume contest! 50 bucks! Although it also looks like they don't give a sh*t :) Happy Halloween!!!

For all those non-Internet people, here is the reference:

Puss in Boots

Josh and I got to see a Friends and Family screening of Puss in Boots on Saturday. It was quite funny and looked fantastic. I recommend everyone go see it when it comes out! Also, I got a credit!! Yippee!!

New and Old

New blog post, old paintings. I'll get back on track sooner or later :)

We Got Hitched!

Josh and I got married this past Saturday, August 20th!
I wish I could relive that day over and over again :)

ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS

Presenting the work of our A-MAZING wedding photographer, Delbarr Moradi. She's a local gal, who basically kicks major photography butt. We could not be happier with how they came out!!
Enjoy <3

Pulse Check

yepp still alive. Sorry for the lack of posts! Man I totally abandoned this blog.
Time to dive back in. Past few month have been super busy. Planning the wedding, working
on a really fun project at work, and just living life. Let me see... I recently started reading this new book: The Lost City of Z
It was recommended by someone at work, and I'm so very glad it came up amongst the inappropriate garble that are our lunch table conversations. If you like adventure, gruesome details and TRUE STORIES, I highly recommend it :)

That's a WRAP!

Finally finally finally finished with our latest movie MEGAMIND!
Due out in theaters Nov 5th! You, go see it. I'll go catch up on sleep :)



Fun Fact: Josh is "random citizen"!!

He Liked It So Much He Put A Ring On It

That's right!!! Josh and I got engaged this past Saturday!! It was ridiculously corny and completely romantic :) As you can see the ring is a touch too small at the moment but It is beautiful and I love everything about it :) I feel like the luckiest girl in the world!!!! squeal!!!

Take Me There

So I'm always up for a stay-cation, snuggled up on my couch with a book... or the tv remote :) But I have to say I might just have to leave my humble abode for this place. No, rephrase, I would leave my humble abode in the dust for this place. The newly remodeled La Banane Hotel in St. Barts looks like something out of my dreams. Nestled in a coconut grove, the nine bungalows are furnished with vintage furniture built by Pierre Jeanneret (cousin of Le Corbusier) back in the fifties. The address is also completely confidential and revealed ONLY to the guests. Reason number 42 why I need to win the lottery.

Happy Weekend !

Happy Father's Day to the best dad in the entire world! I love you and miss you!

J&J Wedding

Memorial Day weekend was one of the best weekends ever. Josh and I flew to PA to see my cousin Jenny get married. She has been by my side almost my entire life and therefore I consider her more of a sister than a cousin. The wedding was at a rustic estate, everything was designed by the bride and groom, and my god, it was all beautiful! I got to spend a lot of time with friends and family and I loved every glorious second of it :)




I love you both!! Welcome to the family Jonny!!!

AT&T Rethink Possible

This is one of my new favorite commercials. AT&T has never been rated high in my book, but the
add agency who did this commercial did a fantastic job. Plus the fact that Willy Wonka is one of the greatest movies ever made :)

OMG SLOTHS!

Meet the sloths from Amphibian Avenger on Vimeo.

New Goal in life is to visit the Aviaros del Caribe sloth sanctuary in Costa Rica. Its the world's only sloth orphanage. I can't help it. I find them completely irresistible.

Here's another face-cutout I did for my cousin Jen's wedding. Less than two weeks away! I can't wait :) -xoxo

Frank Frazetta 1928-2010

Sadly, today we lost a legend. Frank Frazetta passed away this morning from a stroke at the age of 82. He was truly the master of fantasy and will be greatly missed.

Loxodonta africana or Loxodonta cyclotis

I'm working on a Saturday morning......but thinking of elephants <3

9 by Design

Officially my new favorite show.
It makes me dream of high ceilings and hard wood floors..*sigh* :)

I was raised right - I talk about people behind their backs

So, a browsing trip through the Palo Alto Borders actually paid off this time! I was juggling two books ( Kathy Griffen's memoir and Anthony Bourdain 's Kitchen Confidential... I have a thing for people with smart mouths). Kathy won out for reasons I'm not really sure of, but I made a great decision and I'll tell ya why. She's got this incredible way of story telling. Its like shes a friend just gossiping with you over coffee. Her way of standup translates perfectly into this book. I often find myself having to read things more than once to really make sure I understand whats happening, but with this book, it just flows. Granted I'm only about a quarter of the way through, but I honestly get excited to crawl into bed early at night so I can pop it open and read some more. It's been a long time since I've found a book like that :)
Luv ya Kath!

My Little Pony is REAL...I knew it.

Weighing in at just six pounds, the New Hampshire-born foal may be the world's smallest horse. Dr. Rachel Wagner, Einstein's co-owner, says the Guinness record for the smallest newborn horse is 9 pounds. Wagner notes Einstein shows no signs of dwarfism, unlike the current record holder.

Anyone willing to drive to NH and steal this lil gem for me? :P
