Moving Day...

Getting a bit itchy&twitchy here. Follow me over to tumblr.

Reinvention, rehabilitation, restoration... Do over!

2009-08-02T14:35:00.003-04:00

I call a do over!

Working on redoing this blog. Pretty sure no one checks it anymore so I will have to try to regain some attention.

Long story short: My funk lasted a few months. I have been having a wonderful summer, though, and am getting myself back on track. So coming soon will be my reintroduction to the interwebs!

Get excited! Or you know. At least just check back now and then :-)

I'll leave you with the big orange cat that keeps watch over our backyard these days...

"Don't wanna walk away from Emaline..."

2009-01-04T21:41:00.010-05:00

Just a warning, if you're not in the mood for a sad, sad story please do not read this entry.

I know, I know. I haven't been here in ages. Life has been chaotic and, most recently, heartbreaking.

I started my new job and all is well there. Before the new year things were just busy busy busy.

The trouble, worry, and heartbreak really started several hours before 2009 began. I drove over to my parents' house to spend a little time before having people over my house for the evening. About ten minutes down the road I heard three distinct clunks from the front of my car. I knew my power steering belt had just bit the dust. So I managed it to the auto shop and my daddio picked me up.

Two days later I went back over to my parents' house to see my mumma. Our dog, Emaline Suzanne, had been missing for about an hour. This wasn't entirely unusual because she liked to romp around town on a daily basis, especially in cold weather. I whistled and called for her. Eventually she appeared in the backyard but she was walking strangely. Her tail was tucked between her legs and she could only walk sideways. She fell down the steps. When we finally got her inside she laid down on her bed but she wouldn't take a nap. She didn't seem to be in any pain because no matter where we touched, she didn't whine or cry or yelp or anything. We thought maybe she had just sprained an ankle or something because she could still walk. We didn't even fathom that she might be in poor health. She always went for regular vet visits and they would say that she was in fine health. So my mum said she would take her to the vet if it got worse. Grizzly and I had errands to run so we left after about an hour of fussing over her.

At 9:30 the next morning, my phone rang and I immediately knew why. I protested and cried and panicked, put clothes on, and we went over to my parents' house. We said goodbye to my EmmaSue. I pet her for the last time and told her how much I love her. We buried her in the backyard with my old dogs Jessie and Chelsea.

My parents and I spent the day completely lost, bawling our eyes out. They explained that they had taken her to the emergency vet early in the morning. She had not slept at all that night because she was so panicked/afraid/frustrated that she couldn't move. The vet said she most likely had a tumor that had spread to her spine or she had blown a disc in her spine. Having her daily run through the woods on Friday had probably finally aggravated it to the point where it cut off her motor skills. She wasn't in any pain. But even with all the surgery she could have, she would likely never have walked again. She stopped eating and she wouldn't have lasted much longer.

I spent yesterday at their house expecting to hear her "Let me in!" bark at the back door. Waiting for her to run up to me and lean against my leg. Or paw at me for pets. Or jump up on the couch and clean her little white-sock paws. Or prance around, speaking her pup talk to me for a cookie. Or bark at me to play sock or shoe with her. Today my mum took her first walk alone in ten years and my daddio had his first breakfast in ten years without her at his side. I had dinner at my parents' house this evening and there was no sound of her little paws clicking as she danced around the table. Standing in the kitchen I kept looking out the back door, expecting to see her appear on the back porch, wiggling around and wagging her tail.

I feel empty. I love her so much. She was a wonderful companion. She was probably around twelve years old but mentally she was still a pup. She was full of life, always ready to run around and play. She had slowed down a bit in the past year but I honestly thought she had years left. She was the smartest dog I've ever met. She really learned how to communicate with all of us and knew how to tell us exactly what she wanted. She was clever and a total lovebug. She had more personality and character than probably most people.

It was so sudden that I think I am still in shock. My heart is going to be broken for quite some time.

I am so glad that she made her way back to us on Friday afternoon and that she got to run around in the snow. Thank god she did not feel any pain and did not suffer.

I named her after one of my favourite Ben Folds Five songs, "Emaline." The Suzanne just fit. I think my aunt came up with it. She was my EmmaSue (and EmmySue), my Mooseysoosey, my Meanie Moose, my Soosa, my MoonAmie, my little one, my pretty girl. She will always be loved and missed.

To top it all off, my mumma is going in for surgery tomorrow. Seriously.

I sincerely hope that your new year has been infinitely better than mine has been so far.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Oh me, oh my...

2008-11-26T12:35:00.003-05:00

Where has the time gone?

This past weekend got too far away from me entirely too quickly!

I had a very lovely but extremely busy/chaotic birthday weekend. I will have photos of my new goodies as soon as I find the charger for my camera battery... ahem... I have lots to share!

I have also been super busy finding a new job! Since I have put so much time and effort into finding a new job at pretty much the worst possible time to do so my blogging has obviously suffered. I also have not updated the shop in a while. But now that the search is winding down (HURRAH!!!) I promise that I will re-enter the blogging world and get some new pieces up in the shop soon!

Hm, I haven't any recent photos to share with you so here is one of my favourite photos of one of my favourite people...

Right. Tom Waits in a tree.

I will return later this week with photos and hopefully a shop update.

Have a lovely Thanksgiving!

Happy, happy birthday to me!

2008-11-19T13:12:00.005-05:00

I'm popping in for one selfish reason and a couple not as selfish reasons.

Happy Notes from Little Green Bird Studio.

First of all, it's my birthday (and my brother's, of course. Plus Monday was my best buddy's birthday and Sunday is my mum's)! Traditionally I listen to "Happy Birthday to Me" by the Vandals at least ten times on my birthday... I'm on round four or five already, I think. Heheh. Today I'm going to hang out with my aunt, have dinner with Grizzly (who has already spoiled me rotten with lots of lovely things from my Etsy favourites list!), then we'll probably head over to my parents' house to wait for my twin brother to arrive from school. It will be a nice, quiet day, I hope.

Also, the Friday feature will return tomorrow as I'm ready to get back to my regularly (not so) scheduled blogging. Life has been rather hectic lately but I'm ready to settle back into a little routine before the holiday chose is truly upon us.

And finally, shop update soon! I'm shooting for Sunday or Monday. So stay tuned for more on that!

All right, I'm off! Have a lovely day!

Election Day

2008-11-04T18:58:00.002-05:00

Vintage Dictionary Word Pendant Scrabble Tile Necklace - Vote from dlkdesigns

I voted early this afternoon in the teeny tiny city hall of my teeny tiny hometown. I'm trying to avoid the news until it's all over because watching will only make me nervous.

I hope all those able to vote did so today! I'm off to draw until all the results are in.

Halloween House

2008-10-31T19:55:00.004-04:00

2008-10-30T23:27:00.004-04:00

Just a quick update to let you know that I'm extending the sale for one more day. So if you were planning on stopping by for the sale, head on over to the shop!

Also, I put up a new wee painting...

Winterbirds

I'll be back sometime tomorrow with the Friday feature so see you then!

End of October Sale!

2008-10-28T20:48:00.005-04:00

Tomorrow (29 October) & Thursday (30 October) I'll be having a two day End of October sale. Prints & paintings will be 10 - 20% off so make sure to stop by the shop!

Hope to see you there!

PS

It has been so chilly and rainy the past couple days. So at night I've been enjoying a snack of toast with pumpkin butter (homemade by a friend!) and grapefruit tea (picked up for me by my mumma dearest!). They provide the perfect cold night nibble!

For the Home Friday...

2008-10-24T12:37:00.004-04:00

Happy Friday, doves!

I have decided it's time to do some weekly features and For the Home Fridays are going to be the first installation! Sometimes I'll feature one shop or site and other times I'll have several. As for the rest of the week, we'll see what else I come up with. :-)

So, For the Home Fridays are inspired by my ~~slight~~ total obsession with vintage housewares. One of my favourite Etsy shops to browse through great vintage finds is The Aviary. They have everything from adorable salt & pepper shakers and tea pots to lovely wallhangings and knickknacks.

Here are a few of my favourite pieces in the Aviary...

Vintage Folkloric Pattern Trivet or Wall Hanging

Beautiful Vintage Fawn Planter

Vintage Sleepy Owls Salt and Pepper Shakers

Everything is just so sweet, and I do hope you check them out!

Check back every Friday for more lovely housewares and daily to see other new features.

Have a great weekend, dolls & dears!

Technical Difficulties...

2008-10-22T23:25:00.003-04:00

If you've been wondering about my silence lately, fear not! I'm still here. But my laptop is nearly dead. I am on a back up one right now trying to get my files/programs (READ: my life) back in order.

I am hoping to have everything situated so that I can have a shop update next week. Maybe even this weekend if all goes well. We'll see. I shall keep you posted.

Hope everyone is having a great week!

PS

Since I have no new shop-related photos to show you, here is a goofy photo of Argus last year when he was just a pup.

He was small once. For a while he had a thing where he would go outside and just sit under the grill. Now he's about three feet tall, weighs one-hundred thirty pounds, and still tries to sit under things... Like the coffee table... I'll have to remember to get a photo of that some time.

Autumn Falls for You...

2008-10-14T12:23:00.005-04:00

Hi there, hello there!

Just a quick update... I just put up a new print in the shop.

Autumn Falls for You Print

Now I'm off to finish another one so perhaps I'll have it done tonight! Check back soon.

Hope everyone's having a lovely day!

PS

In case you ever thought you were useless before having your morning coffee, I would like to prove to you that I absolutely take the cake. This morning I got my coffee ready. Put the coffee in. Plugged it in and waited for it to perc (it's an electric percolator)... After a couple seconds I started to smell something distinctly... wrong. Something smelled like it was burning. Was the plug shorting out? I unplugged it, checked it out. Nothing seemed wrong so I plugged it back in... Still smelled like awful. Then I realized that I couldn't even hear the water. I stared at it for at least a full minute before it hit me. I didn't put any water in the bleedin' thing!... Seriously.

"I intentionally wrote it out to be an illegible mess...

2008-10-06T12:14:00.012-04:00

You wanted me to write you letters but I'd rather lose your address..." ~ "Information Travels Faster" by Death Cab for Cutie.

When I was a teenager I was very much into punk and (original) hardcore. You know, Minor Threat, Dead Kennedys, The Clash, Bad Religion, (early) AFI, The (ever-entertaining) Vandals, etc. But I needed a break from the racket now and then. Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, Modest Mouse, Pavement, Pedro the Lion, Jets to Brazil, and friends provided a calm in the midst of that crazy, teenage storm.

Around the age of seventeen, my tastes began to mellow even more. At the forefront of this musical (r)evolution were my staples of Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, and Dylan (the three closest to my heart/brain to this day). But there were also bands like Rilo Kiley, Elliott Smith, Wilco, Masters of the Hemisphere, Cat Power, and, of course, Death Cab for Cutie. I carried them all with me through the rest of high school, four years of college, and they remain with me to this day. And nothing reminds me of my freshman year of college quite like Death Cab for Cutie. For whatever reason (or probably more accurately, reasons I don't wish to get into), the atmosphere of their music perfectly fit that of my life back then.

So, when Ben (looking rather unlike himself but sounding perfect) & the Death Cab guys strolled out onto the stage last night in Atlantic City, I suddenly felt eighteen again. Quite a bizarre feeling, really. I got shivers when they played "We Laugh Indoors." The whole show I had flashbacks of walking around campus on grey, chilly days in late autumn and returning to my warm, cozy dorm room. There I would sit at my window with a cup of coffee and watch the seasons change. It reminded me of all the nervousness and excitement of being on my own for the first time, falling out with my first love and finding the next one, and wondering what on earth was going to happen next.

This has gone on longer than I had expected but it really was a great show. I'd been to the House of Blues previously for a raucous Flogging Molly show and was disappointed in the sound of the place. So I was hoping Death Cab would sound much better in the wee venue and, thank goodness, they sounded wonderful.

Their newest album, Narrow Stairs, is really fantastic (Had it come out two years ago, it would likely have helped me through the end of that second love until I found my darling Grizzly Bear. As it is, it pretty much sums up how I felt back then). They played a good mix of old stuff, too (though, I would have liked more from The Photo Album. But I might be the only one on that). They had a brilliant, infectious energy and seemed to really enjoy themselves. To top it all off, I was there with my dear Grizzly and two of my really good friends.

All right, really now. Enough already! I'm off to finish up a drawing.

Oops!

2008-09-30T17:09:00.003-04:00

Well, I should have known better than to promise a post Sunday night. Sunday night was the season premier of Dexter so... obviously, a post did not happen. Heheh. Strange as it might seem, I just can not resist that murderous man!

So, my apologies! Here is the print I put up in the shop just today...

We Fancy Poppies Print

It wasn't meant to be part of the twins series but I suppose it could be! Little bluebird twins, perhaps.

That's it for now as it's about time to get on with dinner. More on its way, I promise.

It's a twin thing!

2008-09-22T10:54:00.010-04:00

If you've hopped over to the shop recently, you might have noticed a new print (well, now two new prints!). I have started a new little series inspired by being a twin.

A few nights ago I put up these cute little fawn twins...

Are You My Twin? Print

And just tonight I put up the little fraternal owlie twins...

Yes, We Are Twins Print

I happen to be a fraternal twin myself. My brother and I pretty much look nothing alike and we're constantly saying, "Yes! We are twins!" ;-)

I'm working on more twin drawings, as well as a couple more "... for you." paintings. I will have more up this weekend and will update as soon as I do!

By the way, happy autumn! A few days late, I know, but I'm thrilled that fall is here! It's been nice and chilly (and a bit stormy!) here lately so I hope the cool weather lasts.

All right, I will be back hopefully Sunday evening with more. See you then!

A little look inside...

2008-09-19T12:51:00.008-04:00

I have been taking some photos of the house so I thought I would share a few with you!

Our room is really bright and comfy, and I love it. I long for the days when we own a place, though. I'm itching for furniture and paint colours of my own! Oh, and I've still got some prints to frame (as seen on the left side of the dresser) and hang. So that will be addressed soon. (I'll have more photos soon, too.)

Also, I'd like to introduce you to our little Arwen Eve (Yes, she is named after the Lord of the Rings character but I've shortened Arwen Evenstar into Arwen Eve because I like the sound of it better. She has a patch of white on her chest so the name does fit her perfectly.)...

I also call her My Little Assassin as she loves a good sneak attack...

It's a wonderful day here in Jersey. It's nice and chilly with the wind gusting quite strong. I'm so excited for autumn!

I will have an update this upcoming week. Tonight we're going to enjoy a night out at the pub (haven't been out in ages!) but this weekend I'll be painting and getting ready to update the shop. So stay tuned!

Happy weekend!

Settling into the new nest...

2008-09-12T10:36:00.000-04:00

Good morning!

It's a really nice overcast, chilly morning here at the beach in southern NJ. The windows are open, the air is off, and the animals are sound asleep in their favourite spots. Quite the cozy day so far!

We're all moved in to the new house. Our landlord let us move in Friday night because Saturday was supposed to be miserable weather. We set ourselves up and Grizzly's parents brought the animals down on Saturday. My brother came along while we did a bunch of shopping and then hung out for a bit afterwards. So far the end of our street has flooded twice but obviously that's part of coastal living.

If you've swung by the shop recently, you might have noticed that prints are now available! Hurrah!

Here's a peek at a couple of the prints that are available...

Rebel Baby Print

Pretty Bird Blossoms Print

There are plenty more up so if you haven't been by please have a looksee!

ALSO! My Fox Plus Grizzly painting was featured on Mixed Plate last Friday! Super exciting! Liana features loads of really great finds there so go check it out!

I am working on a few new paintings, including the two other wee ones I mentioned previously. So I will hopefully update the shop again soon. Today is going to be painting (most likely with BBC America in the background) and tomorrow my best friend will be visiting to see the new house!

Have a lovely weekend, doves!

Three days until move-in!

2008-09-02T23:24:00.005-04:00

Well, the sale is over, and I'm quite happy with how it went. We've packed all our belongings up in boxes and stacked it all in the van (borrowed from my Grizzly's incredibly accommodating parents). The animals are staying with his parents and we're staying at my (also incredibly accommodating) parents' house for the next three days. So all we have left to do is move in! Okay, that's not entirely true. Grizzly starts classes tomorrow (the reason we're moving back down to south Jersey). And on move-in day, we do have a bit of shopping left to take care of... You know, food and all that bunk.

So needless to say, I will not get to update the shop until sometime next week. I did, however, add those two wee paintings I mentioned in the last post...

A Pumpkin for You

Poppies for You

Also, I finally cleaned my scanner last week and rescanned all the paintings with that hideous streak down them! Hurrah! And! I bought some perfect paper for prints! So once I set up shop in the new house I will have prints available, as well. Excitement!

For now I'm off to do laundry and make a list of anything else we need for the house. I have a little (READ: GINORMOUS!) habit of making lists... for anything and everything.

I do hope you'll check back soon to see what's new!

New for you...

2008-08-26T19:45:00.003-04:00

Hello, doves!

I have two new wee little paintings done, and they will be up in the shop tomorrow evening (probably quite late but they will be up). I'm working on two more wee ones and a couple others on top of that! I don't know how many of those will be done and up before we move but I will try to get at least one of them finished.

The Moving Sale has been successful so far, and I'm thinking of extending it to this weekend. We'll see what I decide!

Anyway, the Moving Sale is still on so check it out if you haven't yet! I'm off to do some reading. Have a lovely evening :-)

Upcoming Sale!

2008-08-15T22:53:00.007-04:00

A quick post to let you know that from Wednesday, August 20th, to Wednesday, August 27th, I'll be having...

Since we're moving in two weeks I thought I'd have a sale!

Everything will be 15%-20% off! So I hope you stop by to check it out!

Caffeine crisis!

2008-08-03T15:12:00.004-04:00

Today has not gone as I had planned. I woke up and went upstairs to eat breakfast only to find that we'd run out of coffee! EEP!

Now, this might seem pathetic to you, but I can not function without my coffee in the morning. So instead of making my coffee and getting on with my day, it took ages to get myself going. Eventually, I was showered, dressed, and ready so I took a walk around the corner and bought a bag of coffee. Now that I have my wonderful, wonderful caffeine, my day can continue. It's sad, I know.

So, in lieu of a painting, today I will leave you a photo of our pup. We have Argus, the doofy one-year-old English Mastiff, and Arwen, the snotty almost three-year-old black cat.

This was taken earlier this year on a hike in northern NJ...

His head is like a cinder block. Heheh :-) Both he and Arwen are taking their afternoon naps right now. So I'm going to pour myself another cup o' java and get some painting done.

Paint... everywhere!

2008-08-02T22:45:00.005-04:00

I'm taking a break from painting (READ: making an absolute mess!) so here's what's been going on lately...

We put a deposit down on a lovely little beach house in Margate. We'll be moving back down to southern New Jersey in September! So excited to be back down there. I mean, sure, we're only an hour away now but it will be wonderful to see my family and south Jersey friends all the time. It's a wee little house but it has a backyard for the pup & us to enjoy, a gorgeous front sunroom (the cat will be in heaven! And I can't wait to watch storms in there!), and three bedrooms (one of which will be used as a studio/office/whatever room)! I know August just arrived but it just can't go quickly enough!

Also, since my last post I've added three new paintings to the shop...

Lily and Liam

Sunny and a Poppy

Ghostly Georgia and Gregor

I'm working on several others that I hope to have up soon. Perhaps one will be up tomorrow! My heart is longing for autumn and cooler weather but I'm trying to put up a few more summery pieces before I get totally obsessed with fall. I do love all the seasons... But this summer the heat has been so brutal that it's been hard to appreciate these lovely months... unless I'm at the beach, of course!

All right, so another shop update is on the way. And I can't wait to move into our new house! I am going to enjoy August, though, because I really do love summer, and there are plenty of beach days left!

Grapefruit Tea Deliciousness

2008-07-09T21:25:00.021-04:00

Well, things have been busy, as always. I have not been able to paint much lately. I did add a new piece to the shop two weekends ago...

Elliott and Ella

And what of grapefruit tea, you wonder?

I just received my Demeter Grapefruit Tea perfume in the mail today, and I have to say, it is absolutely perfect! Granted, grapefruit is by far my favourite scent and Demeter's perfumes are always amazing anyway (last summer I got Grizzly a bottle of Demeter's Thunderstorm and it's incredible. You can smell the grass, the rain, the dirt, everything. It's totally tough and manly and dirty and comforting and awesome but not overpowering at all.) but this is the perfect light and yummy summer scent.

And now I must must must have some real grapefruit tea! Why have I not had it yet?! It sounds like the most wonderful drink. I think I'll have to order some soon. But in the meantime, I might try to make Martha's version. It sounds delicious! I can't even imagine how amazing it must smell, too.

So, just a quick update. I am working on several more pieces in the same vein as Elliott & Ella up there, and I have a few more button projects in mind, as well. As soon as I get them up I will post again.

I hope you're having a lovely summer so far!

Summer Sale!

2008-06-21T16:18:00.003-04:00

In celebration of summer's official start everything in my shop is on sale! So check it out!

Sale ends July 6th!

I haven't vanished!

2008-06-10T00:53:00.006-04:00

I've just been super busy!

I put up three new paintings last week. I've been trying out new things with buttons so check out the shop.

This knowledgeable creature was also part of the update:

Word Bird

She has a bit of a snooty expression but I adore her!

Then Thursday was my darling Grizzly's birthday! We went to lunch, helped a wee baby goat get back on the right side of the fence at a petting zoo (He hopped through a bit of gate that was missing chicken wire. And boy, did he ever think he was smart... until he realized what he'd done and started wailing. It took a good twenty minutes of "Go, baby, go!" before he stopped crying and realized he could go back through the gate to mumma goat.), and watched the Celtics win against the Lakers. It was a very nice, relaxed day. Friday we went out with friends for some more celebration. Saturday was a little housewarming get-together for a few friends at their new house. And (!) Sunday was my daddio dearest's birthday!

Whew. In addition to all of that I actually have found time to paint. I'll be putting up two or three paintings this upcoming weekend, likely Sunday 15 June (also Father's Day!).

All right, I believe that's about it for now! Remember to check out the shop for new pieces!

Hurrah!

2008-05-28T23:02:00.004-04:00

Well, after having my shop up for a month I made my first sale! Yesterday I sold two paintings! Excitement!

Let's see... I'm planning to have at least three (possibly five) pieces up this weekend. Also, I'll have prints of this guy available soon:

Pretty Bird Blossoms

I'm thinking, perhaps, he would look nice on a t-shirt? I will have to think about this.

For now, I'm going to go back to watching the original Dawn of the Dead (best zombie movie ever, obviously).

Well, scratch that...

2008-05-19T15:28:00.005-04:00

Today has definitely not gone as I had expected/wanted it to go... So, there will only be one addition to the shop today (and I haven't even been able to get it up there yet!) and if all goes well, hopefully, I'll get to the rest tomorrow. Euf!

Edit:

Redbirds and Poppies is now up in the shop!

Shop Update!

2008-05-18T22:50:00.003-04:00

Monday afternoon I will be adding at least two (possibly more) paintings to the shop! So make sure to check it out!

Rainy Friday, Mid-May...

2008-05-16T13:37:00.002-04:00

What a March-like day in May it is! It would be the perfect day to stay in and finish up some projects I've been working on... If I didn't have errands to do!

At any rate, I will hopefully be finishing up a couple paintings this evening and tomorrow so I plan to update the shop in the next couple days. Perhaps a Sunday afternoon update?

I have also been brainstorming a few new things for the shop which I hope to have up in the next couple weeks.

Well, I'm off to drink more coffee, do errands (such a busy week this has been!) and then finally get to some painting!

Welcome!

2008-05-11T14:51:00.002-04:00

Hello, dears!

Lately, I've been slacking quite a bit in my writing and focusing mostly on painting. So! I decided I should have a place to get back into writing on a somewhat regular basis . I'll be posting about paintings/projects I'm doing, ideas, things I find interesting, and life in general.

So, there you have it!
