You can dream until you're blue but you can never top that

In the slight spirit of Halloween, as Teen Witch always used to be on TV this time of year! Also see the original.

I found love in the Fall and it did not hurt at all

I've been doing a lot of early morning and late night TV watching lately, due to not feeling the greatest. But as a result, I was reminded of this lovely Free Design song in the form of this video! I love the nostalgic animation and illustration style and think it suits the song perfectly. It just has a really nice feeling to it!

Postcards we're mailing of sky blue skies and oceans

Here is a commission that I just finished this past week. It's my second project surrounding a sort of "pirate" theme, but I had fun working on some different techniques and interpreting it slightly differently than I did a couple of years ago. I'd been wanting to do something with the "fishing lure" idea for a while too!
I hope that you're all having a nice weekend and start to the week!

There's smoke on my sweater

Playing for time

Here are a few of my favorite dresses that I've found while thrift shopping lately. Some of them have been altered and hemmed a bit as they were quite long and awkward fitting start with. My sewing skills are still very basic, but I'm learning by trial and error. Its been great practice for altering other clothes to sell/for clients, and I'm already getting a lot of wear out of them. The floral dress has been my uniform for a while, and they all really fit in with what I like to wear right now. With tights, of course. And sweaters and coats!

I've been having lots of early mornings lately. I'm still adjusting to it, but its nice to be up at that time when things are very still, you know?
This is my breakfast (and sometimes lunch...) for the week, so far. It kind of reminds me of that crumble I made a while ago. It tastes good with maple syrup or honey in place of brown sugar, too!

You'll never see my eyes

Happy Friday! Here is an old favorite song of mine. It reminds me of simple Fall days for some reason, so I guess it is perfect for today!
