Cake, Oranges, and Art. Don't Ask.

Last Frame!

(because I have just been too lazy to put my last two prints in their home.)

I have also been working on this lovely U.S. Map. It's flat on the final copy, I just hung a not-so-important print of it up in the room just in case something happened to it. But they are $20 + $5 shipping if you want one! It was a for-fun thing for a print sale coming up! Naturally I hung it up on the wall and did some shameless advertising. Check out my artist FB page for a pic of the nice and final copy .:Here:.

Family is in town, and they even got to come to the student art show! I won an Honorable Mention and a Merit Award (cash!) It was super neat. Austin is always fun to take to art shows too because he always gets way involved in my pieces and all my friends' too. He's biased to everyone he loves haha!

It was also my mom and George's birthday, so I sent my mom her favorite cadbury creme eggs. I made George his favorite cake and got him his favorite candy bars!

Lastly, I've been making these orange puddings like crazy! I put the recipe already on our Recipe page, but I am so glad I'm not so sick anymore and have gotten to eat our ginormous box of oranges!

To Be Honest.

I've been thinking a lot, and a lot has been going on. Lorde radio on Pandora is a good way to zone out. So is sewing, and doing all those other mindless activities I love, and that keep me happy. I haven't written on this blog because to be honest, it's been difficult lately. To get the sob story quick and out of the way, I've been in a self-pity mode, and super down on myself. I had a very difficult time at BYU because of a crappy life occurrence that made the decision to leave the best decision of my life. It was hard to get my BFA between the BYU's when I transferred, and I couldn't work on a second diploma I was seeking. I ended up with the most amazing BFA situation though, and that has been a blessing. (And the most awesome thing happened too, obviously. --marriage! I would never ever change that!) The last year into my BFA I found out definitive stuff about my dystonia, including no children. And the nursing program chase has not be

Grateful.

Austin has been the best support. I definitely married out of my league. He's been very proactive in finding lots of healthy things for my recommended diet (by the neurological disorder peeps, and an intolerance.) because my hemidystonia has had less spasms and cramps. As of lately, brown rice bread! Seriously, it's great even if you don't need wheat-free. It's a nice change of pace! It's sweet and light. .:Recipe Here:. We grind our own brown rice to save money. Winco here in Idaho has the best deal for bulk brown rice :) Here's a crazy picture of my hand, this was actually the first spasm/cramp I've had in a bit. (Haha, least my nails are painted ;) ) This is actually why (for those of you who've asked) Intaglio will not be my last degree. I was informed that I've got a good chance of this happening to my right side too. Art might get interesting! But I plan to keep doing it as a career too, no matter what!

Moonrise Bunnies

Thank you for the chocolate bunnies Carmen Family!! we may or may have not remembered it was easter? Such a Surprise! In sad news, our favorite video store is going out of business. We loved getting recommendations from the people who worked there. Austin and I had no idea our favorite date spot was going out and went to go get a movie.... and we ended up with this sweet stack!! (They sold them waaay discounted. We got all of these for the price of two new DVDs!) It was funny because when we walked in and realized what was going on, we freaked out because we wanted our favorite movies! Everything Illuminated and Moonrise Kingdom (among others but these were the first ones that came to mind) And Everything Illuminated was gone! Austin freaked because he couldn't remember what Moonrise Kingdom was called. He said... EDWARD NORTON. WHICH ONE WAS THAT?? Of course I look at him like wtf are you talking about the Hulk or the Painted Veil or something? Fig
