Just stars and stuff

Well, as you can see by my lack of posts, I AM BUSY. Life is hard. I had to drop my first class ever. Sad day. Tears.................but, then my parents came for a surprise visit!!!!!!!! My dad drove all the way to see me on his birthday and said that his present was getting to see me! What a perfect and wonderful father I have! Plus he bought me greek yogurt, icecream, and cinnamon rolls, so you know he is just the best ever.

Happy day, I found a textile artist that I absolutely adore! She studied printmaking in school, but then decided to use that talent to create her own textiles, and now she has her own line of fabric and designs all this cool stuff and travels all over the world. Her name is Elizabeth House so go check her out! Here is her blog: http://lizzyhouse.typepad.com/lizzyhouse/ Plus, she has the most amazing fabric that has constellations all over it and I want it so bad. I am literally drooling just thinking about it.

Speaking of constellations, they are pretty much on my mind all the time. I am really into stars and Greek mythology and stuff right now. My dream is to find a globe that is painted with the different constellations on it! I found this one on Pinterest, but I have no idea where I could find that in real life.
Instead I have had to settle for two other things(I really shouldn't call it settling because both of these things are really really cool): homemade stitched needlework and a large printable constellation poster that is soon to be hanging on my very wall. I would show you a picture of the poster, but right now my computer is being a bum and not working right, so you will just have to wait until it is actually on my wall and I can take a picture:)

Anyways, this week is going good. My parent's surprise visit has left me happy and re-energized. Nothing to complain about! I have done some really fun paintings this last week that I want to show you, so as soon as I can get pictures taken I will share them with you. Well, off to look at more star stuff...k loves bye!!!
