Screen Printing Party

Or class...class is probably a more appropriate word, even though it was so much fun!

We took the class at Earth Cadets, which, yes, I've mentioned before. I just love and respect the company & products so much. As soon as I heard she was starting classes, Karen & I signed up. And we were not disappointed!

Krissy, the owner of Earth Cadets, was so sweet, knowledgeable and creative! And just overall helpful. She had a bunch of screens and ink (?) colors set out for us to choose from and it was free reign from there.

We were there for two and a half hours and time flew by!

I mostly focused on a onesie (for my friend who had a baby girl early Feb.) and, strangely enough, muslin, which we had for practicing. I'm planning on hanging it up, but I haven't quite decided how yet.

When I finished my onesie, I ended up with a line, that wasn't necessarily supposed to be there. I was like, "meh, no big deal." Krissy took one look and suggested using a paint brush to make the line another eucalyptus tree. Sure why not! And now it looks like it's supposed to be there! I love it :)

the eucalyptus tree on the left wasn't supposed to be there...but you'd never know ;)

Later, Krissy posted some of the group's pieces on instagram. Check out the eL stop bag that says, "This is Grand." One of the other girls in the class made that one and we were all in love. I showed my co-worker this photo today and she immediately pointed it out and said she would buy it.

P.S. Attend your own screen printing party!

museum field trip

i've been doing really well on my field trip resolution . yesterday i hit up another one: the chicago history museum . it turns out it was a free day there, even though i was going to get in free anyway. that means it was busy! which is fine, i still got to take a gander around. I've never been to the history museum before so that in itself was exciting. probably my favorite part was when they talked about the world's fair in chicago (i can't remember the exact name). the buildings were so much grander than i imagined them in my mind while i read, devil in the white city a couple months ago. it was fun to see what it was really like. and wow! there was also an awesome exhibit about workers rights and such. so it was a fun little excursion.

thanksgiving time

( via ) Yes, I like Santa. But why is everyone so anxious to start with Christmas? Why can't we appreciate Thanksgiving first? don't get me wrong, i'm excited to watch Love Actually again (when it's in-season. i actually watch it all year long). everyone kept talking about christmas being everywhere this month, but i really only encountered it when i walked around the mall with Greta (my sister-in-law) on Monday. it was all over the mall. it could have been december. look what Nordstrom is doing i'm actually really excited for thanksgiving this year... (details to follow) but as far as today goes... I have to share this with you because I think it's funny ( via ) actually... at 11:11 I was running around looking for a book called The Moon Seems to Change

Birthday

i was yawning? Here I am: 28! Top 5 of 27: LouFest Marathon Florida (how can a vacation not make it?) New Job trip to Savannah to meet Callie ! My parents came to Chicago last weekend to help me celebrate & celebrate we did! It was a super fun weekend! And it was 40 degrees! Friday I was on the phone with a member from Kansas City. He started chatting with me about the weather and I said, "we are currently experiencing a heat wave in Chicago of 34 degrees." He responded, "it's supposed to be 60 here this weekend, we're going to pull out our bbq grills." I laughed, but thought, 'why are my parents coming here?!? why am I not going where it's warm?!?' SIXTY DEGREES! We won't see that til...april? may? obsessed i made a baby snowman, no one wanted to help so i went with a tiny one... ;) What I would give for the day off today! I want a nap ;)
