d e m e t e r

as i am here in doing this i still have clothes to put away and packing to do for the three of us for our trip to san diego early tomorrow morning. i do have to "record" about my tote bag fiasco. i have a current illustration of mine that i really like and that it would look great on a tote bag (which it does by the way). however, i did a botched up job. here is the first result:




you can see in the close-ups the places where the transfer had some difficulty. i won't even show what the second result is (in trying to fix the problem, i went back to re-iron and made it worse. oh well. it will still serve as a good tote bag to keep in the car for natalie and goodies to keep her entertained while driving).

nat and i also decided to give my mom her mother's day gift today since we won't be here for the weekend. one of the gifts we gave her is an illustration/collage i did for especially for her, nicely matted and framed.





i call it a matriarchal family tree since it depicts my mom, myself and natalie jane. i hope she finds a nice spot for it. as for me, i was lucky enough to recieve my gift today in the mail from my mom. she hooked me up with the j-41 slip-ons i wanted.

well, i'm off. i have putting things away, packing, showering, washing (nat), etc. etc. for the big day tomorrow!
