“ummm, elsie… where have you been?”

πŸ™‚

i should be sleeping but there is SO much to do!  it's become a habit to blog at ridiculous hours and i like it that way. so, let's continue… i'll tell you a little bit about my crazy week.
first of all, my online class is almost finished.. actually, it technically wraps up today. so if you are taking my class and haven't logged in for a bit you will want to check out all of the new projects. i just posted the last one. *sigh*
i had a really amazing time. it was my first 6 week class and i learned sooo much. i spent way more time on it than i thought i might, but it was all so much fun that it didn't even matter. plus i made a ton of Christmas gifts!! big thank yous to everyone who took my class! <3

oh my, i am so excited… we are finally decorating my store (i'll share more sneak peeks closer to the grand opening!)…

  • Almost 4 AM ??? You’re a crazy woman! One day you’ll be a vampire. :))

    About TV: sometimes I’d like to throw it away but then there’s some great program (about art or music) and I love it. I think this’s our society which force us to have one (or more!) TV per family. But maybe one day I’ll trow it anyway…

  • OMG Els I hope you don’t make your self sick staying up working those crazy hours!!

    Love the dress too. OK so about the purchase…is it a scarf? It looks too short to be a scarf???? I think it is super cute either way!

    xoxo

  • ooo! I recelty fell in love with bluebirdvintage while browsing ebay! they have an ebay store with some slightly sheaper dresses. Too cute! I’m hoping to find some under the Christmas tree this year =)

  • I am really excited. I was going through my paper stash and I realized that I had a paper pack designed by you and I didn’t even know it. I am a regular reader of your blog and I think you are really talented!!

    BTW: love those armwarmers. I am in the process of knitting some myself. πŸ™‚

  • “Learning How to Die” is one of my favorite songs ever. The rest of that playlist is great, too! πŸ™‚

    I got my “Still Learning” print in the mail, and I absolutely love it. Thank you sososo much!!

  • Hi Elsie,

    Your art is just amazing, it is so fun and full of life. Your little bow just rocks, a great pic by Jeremy!!

  • Christmastime’s always a little crazy hey? I stayed up ’til 5am one night this semester writing a paper and got up at 7am for a class and I felt wierd and loopy all day!! I hope you catch up on your sleep and have a great weekend πŸ™‚

  • I can’t see half of these pictures. There’s just a little box with a x in it. ???

    You sure keep crazy hours. But when you’re young & fresh you can. I’m dead just after one later night (1am ish). πŸ˜€

  • I remember the days of not having a TV. I feel like i always got so much done then. I was constantly finding ways to spend my time. instead of watching TV. Love that bow! too cute!! Have a Holly Jolly christmas!!!

  • Wow, I can’t believe you can stay up that late.. I would have fallen asleep πŸ˜‰ Take care of your self! I love your blog but you should always take care of yourself before you look after the rest of us! Merry Christmas! XOXO Johanna

  • Elsie- I have to tell you, I have gotten back to reading your blog lately and when I read about your late night adventures, I wished we were better friends!! LOL! I pull many an all nighter when need be- I work better in the quiet hours of night- and until your blog confessions- I felt like a big freak. Now, I feel like I am in great company.

    I am so excited for your store and all your happy fun times- and your holiday pic of you and Jeremy is just so. dang. cute.

    Keep up the great work!!
