Hard Love

schinders — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:19:23 +0000

If you’re in LA this week, come by the Hive Gallery Saturday night! Their monthly show is Valentine’s themed, and I have a piece in it, plus it’s usually a pretty good party!

Be My Creepy Valentine

I made a pillow for this month’s Hard Love themed show at The Hive. She turned out kind of creepy, not sure how I feel about this piece… onward, onward.

I think she puts the VD in Valentine’s Day.

Moving Along…

Gettin’ my stitch on over here. Here’s another piece to tantalize, not sure what the title is yet. I like how weirdly clinical the image is.

Working Blue

Been busy busy busy stitching over here! Got my first big piece done for my show at the Hive this May; woot! It’s a triptych and I’m super proud! I’m calling this series Fiber and Flesh, and the title of this first piece is, “Where do I begin?”

They just need mounting (heh) and framing.

Another big deal over here… I’m going to have three pieces in a show that Erin Endicott is curating for Fiber Philadelphia! Yay! If you’re in the Philly hood, I’ll be in town for the opening on March 4th (George School peeps, I’m looking in your direction!) and plan on eating as many cheese steaks as I can.

What else… Judging a kids’ video contest for my Disney job. If you’ve got a kid, and they’ve got a pet, go here and make a video entree; they (you) could win a trip and prizes…

And speaking of Disney, I must work very hard this week, because I’m taking Saturday completely off – not even going to yoga – and meeting a girl friend at the happiest place on earth, Disneyland! It’s been almost a year since I’ve been; I’m very excited!

Okay, to work!

Ooh, Miss Peggy Lee was fabulous! She’s so blase and fierce! Look at that dress, that hair, that knowing, sly smile!

And Gives Me Such A Headache…

schinders — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 14:14:56 +0000

It’s 5.30 in the morning… I’ve been getting up earlier these days, but this was not on the agenda.

I started a 40 day yoga challenge yesterday. I go most days anyway, but this is a commitment to a larger challenge, trying to set a new habit pattern. So I went first thing yesterday morning and didn’t have any tea before class, because I didn’t want to have to pee halfway through. Then I ran right out after a quick shower (went out to lunch with a pal and to see the Hedi Slimane exhibit at MOCA – a really interesting installation if you’re around) and with one thing and another, never had any caffeine yesterday.

Woke up around 4.30am, in exquisite pain. Such a headache. I’m now on my second cup of serious black tea and the hurt has almost subsided. I guess I’ll go to the 1.30pm class today rather than the 9.30am. I’ll work for a bit now, then take a nap by 11 for an hour, then go to yoga. I’m supposed to go to a couple openings tonight, but I might be wacky by then.

How does one ween from caffeine without a headache? I wasn’t intending to give it up, but if this is what happens when I go 30 or so hours without, I have to get off of it. And here’s another question, if I stop drinking tea regularly, can I have a cup occasionally, or will I get a headache the next day? This really sucks.

Not So Much Resolutions, But Choices

schinders — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 22:06:37 +0000

What a terrific start this year is off to! Woke early, went to the Farmers Market, then a hike with a girlfriend, and I made a curtain panel that I’ve needed for months. Here’s to getting it done in 2012!!!

And to that end, here’s a list I’ve come up with, of goals for the new year:

less television
more patience
more reading
more glitter and sequins
in fact, more glamor all together

more kindness
more gratitude
more hugs
more unicorns

I wish all of this and more to you; here’s to an fabulous year!

Roll On 2012!!

Well my dears, another one bites the dust. It was a trying year for many of us, though fab things happened too. I have a very good feeling about 2012, an auspicious year with abundance for all. I’m so thankful for all of you and for all the lovely things that did happen this year.

Be safe tonight, don’t get too drunk (or high), and please get home safely.

See you next year!!!

Flying Away on a Wing and a Prayer

schinders — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 15:54:31 +0000

I’m going, going, back, back, to Cali, Cali…

And not a moment too soon. I’ve had a lovely time, seen loved friends and family, eaten a lot of pizza and pierogi, viewed a bunch of art, but I’m ready to sleep in my bed, wake in my room, etc, etc…

See you on the sinister coast!

Work it Miss Piggy!
