twinkle, twinkle little star

merry day after christmas!! I hope you had a superfantastic Christmas! Mine was lovely and spent lots of time with all my various parents and family. I got lots of great presents too! Including but not limited to.... an ipod dock, an emerilware pan, jewelry, a sewing machine...hmm now I can't even remember all that I got!!! Well..anyway it was good!
So.... now I am totally freaking about my show at the museum which opens in 5 weeks!! I am feeling so unbelievably unmotivated and uninspired....so this should be interesting. Come on muses!!!
Wel.....I am wishing you a very happy, always snappy, never crappy, knee slappy, chocolate frappey, sale at the gap-py, kitty on your lappy, travel all over the mappy, snuggle nappy, silly-sappy, toe-tappy new year!!!! Hope 2008 brings all the best to you!!!
Love and cupcakes

crap crap crap crap...that's what I have to say about our first snowfall. I will put aside my strong dislike for snow enough to show you a little peek of what I made for Craftland this year Here are some of the cupcake pedestals which are sold in cute little boxes complete with a note and the superfantastic pinkcupcakegirl's pinkcupcake recipe (and no red food coloring needed!) Craftland opens November 30th so get there for the party!!! I will try to post some pictures of the tiles in a few days too.

Hey Ho! Let's Go!

Wait until you see the packaging my cousin designed for my new batch of cupcake pedestals! SO amazing! Here's one of the pieces here.... Craftland opens in 2 weeks!

you're the one that i want

oooh oooh oooooh ....boy am I tired! I have so much to paint for Craftland!!! It's so soon!!! I am working on some cupcake pedestals and trivets and maybe a few little story houses. Hey...guess what?! I saw the Craftland website and in one of the collages that was in the Projo last year covering the event was some of my stuff!!! Wooooo hooo! See it on the bottom left with the green background?!

Pretty soon I will try to update pinkcupcakegirl.com .... I've been busy, ok? If I can ever finally get this newest batch of stuff done I will put on some pictures. I am trying to make the cupcake pedestals with lots of animals and they're named after kinds of cake.

IN other news...my friend Leah, who is not the slacker I am, is having tons of shows. You should check her out...cool stuff...and amazing presents...hint hint.

More later!!

since you've been gone....

Wow, I can't believe how long it's been since we last talked. So, let's catch up. I've moved to the Q with CB!!! Things are ok....our apartment is tiny, smelly and has too little storage but it's in a great location close to transportation and to the beach! It just makes us push ourselves more to save for our house. Someday!? Other than that.....let's see. Not much else. Need to start getting ready for Craftland in Providence and two shows in Attleboro Feb and May. When am I supposed to do this work??!!! And where?
So, that is that...we are caught up on my side. What about you???
Do tell.

I love a rainy night....

Yes...but I am sick of the rainy day. It's crazy raining today... it makes me sleepy and mopey. I've been sitting in Panera for 2 and a half hours waiting to wake up and think of something to do to beat this greyness that seems to be invading my vacation.

Anywho... you must be thinking I've been busy that's why I haven't made a post in so long. Well, you are wrong. Nothing exciting has been happening so I haven't wanted to bore you. I just thought I should post some pictures from my show ...yeah I know it was two months ago...but anyway. Which reminds me I should be working on my November show....instead I am wasting away in Paneraville. Later.

ps. I can't rotate the last picture so you'll have to turn your head....yeah...don't be lazy.

you're the rainbow i've been waiting for....

Well...its been a long time. I have been busy and tired and lazy. Here are some pics from the show. Thank you to all that came to support me! You rock! We had camera problems so I didn't get a ton of pictures.

you make me so very haaaaaaaaaaaaappy

This is the drawing I did for CB for Valentine's Day.... I know it's queeer but I love Valentine's Day...all the pink and red and candy sweetnesss....mmmmmm.....
Hope you are having a good one....pictures from the opening party soon...

pink is my favorite color

February is here and it's damn cold. I hate the cold....hate. But alas I trudge on... last week was my birthday ...it wasnt one of my best but not my worst! I didnt even cry once! And I always cry on my birthday about something. I had parent night at school so I couldnt really do anything fun. However, I did hang most of my show at the cafe. What a pain .... it was chaos. My family came to have a little party for me in the middle of it... craziness. On Saturday cute boy and I were supposed to go for a nice dinner but by the time we left Target I was too cold and tired to get dressed up so we went to Chili's. It was good and I love the salsa. He gave me the CD version of "Dress YOur Family in Corduroy and Denim" by David Sedaris...too good!
So the reception for my show is on Friday and I am excited and nervous. This has all been a lot more stressful than I thought it would be! I need a break! But I must remind myself to get ready earlier for the November show at the Attleboro Arts Museum (like June!) I will hopefull be posting opening pics next Monday...cute boy is the event photographer.

we were meant to live for so much more

hmmm.... well, yeah... the word dichotomy came up a few times today and I think it's appropriate for my feelings today. On one hand, things are so great and I am feeling super-lovey-dovey-pinkcloudy-swoony (see my new thermos from CB). My show is in a few weeks and despite the fact that they are yet to be framed and the postcards have not been printed the work is done. Craftland is over and I sold about 25 pieces! The weather has been incedible and in just two weeks the semester will be over and I will have a new bunch of more advanced students! So while basking in the lovely pink glow I also have a little grey cloud hanging over.
I am finally coming to the realization that one of my closest friendships is ending and while it's probably best it's hard for me to let go of people. I hold on long after I should and try to make things work even when they just won't. I am also becoming more and more compelled to change things to make more world-socially conscious. Maybe it's my new obsession with HG TV's "Living with Ed", maybe it's the little things that keep popping up that are making me think twice. It could be the strange article I read in JANE about freeganism and reclaiming food found in dumpsters. How far should we go? Am I doing enough? Will I ever?

Grrrrrr......little grey cloud you're blocking the cotton candy clouds and swirling hearts in my eyes.

turn on your heartlight....

Happy Happy Happy New Year!!! In hope you all had a fun New Year's! I, on the other hand, was coughing and just counting down the minutes til my next dosage of Nyquil. Not exactly champagne and caviar! But I was all cuddly with cute boy and his sassy little cat, Soda Pop... not a bad way to start the new year.
So, I am still battling the sicky but feeling superswoony and pinkfluffycupcakey. I am ready for a superfantastic year ahead, planning and finishing up for my show to open in 28 days!, working on making my apartment funner (new obsession= apartment therapy) and planning on incorporating more things I love into my everyday grind including pink, honey, good food(read cupcakes), sparkles and plants.
Now let's get a'paintin'!
