Second acceptance letter in a month Originally uploaded by angrypirate. I got another acceptance letter from a juried show. This one is an online exhibition for caladan gallery in beverly MA. I can’t believe it! I better get my ass to the studio and get back to work. I must be doing something right.

Guilty as charged Originally uploaded by angrypirate. It is really bad form for a girl to try on a wedding dress or sneak peaks at bride magazines before they get asked the big question from that special guy. Most of us have at one point or another secretly wanted to do it. We’ve contemplated slipping…

Block printing Originally uploaded by angrypirate. I made this repeating wave pattern and am block printing fabrics today. The fabrics will then get cut up and sewn into our ocean of love quilt. I’m so excited! Its going to be a lot of work. Each quilt piece will be cut out in the shape of…

Best pants ever Originally uploaded by angrypirate. I finally got around to doing the patching and embroidering on my jeans that I wanted to do before the semester started. Now I have the best jeans ever. One pair has green plaid with green embroidery and one pair has yellow plaid (tom’s old shirt) and yellow…

Hi there, I am tired, very tired. I don’t want to do anything. I started making buffalo wings but I have no sauce and now I have to leave the house to go find some sauce and I don’t want to. What a thing to complain about! I just want to sit on the couch.…

Virtual fireplace Originally uploaded by angrypirate. I’m home after some wanderings today. I’m enjoying the couch, 40 funky hits on the record player, and the virtual fireplace on dvd. I stopped by singlebound to say hello earlier and then spent some time at the asian art museum. Then I walked up to hayes valley and…

Santa Originally uploaded by angrypirate. Look at me! I’m hanging out at the mall on a weekday! Yeah. I hate me too.

I had my last final yesterday. The whole week was smooth sailing. I don’t need to eat another 7 layer dip or donut for a while though. I don’t want to set myself up for false expectations, but that was easy. Today I’m trying to relax as much as possible, but lots of holiday things…

It’s finals week. I know I’m supposed to be stressed out, but I’m not. Now that the robot is finished, I don’t actually have any immediate things to finish. I spent all day at the studio yesterday, and I worked all day, but there was no sense of urgency or panic. I just plotted along.…
