Pirrows (Asian for, ahem, pillows)

Fall 2006, I moved into my first apartment with my first real roommates, R & M. D. Ahnyways, I found out R was super creative and we made the first pillows of the apartment, which was a precursor for the many more to come. The one on the left was the first pillow I ever made and I ironed, pinned, and hand-sewed the love out of that thing. Then came the 2nd one on the right which I used discontinued fabric samples from where I worked at(an interior design firm). The 2nd one took literally 5 minutes to finish because by that time, R got a sewing machine for Xmas!!!

Fall 2008: I moved out of the apartment after 2 years and when I came to visit R, she had received a copius amount of amazing fabrics and fringe and zippers!! So flippin lucky!! So I went to town with this pillow: it's reversible.

Plush Phunnies!!

Given my crazed obsession wtih Domo-Kun(I made a boxed costume for Halloween, I have a T-Shirt, calendar, figurines, done art about him), I decided I needed a plush. However, I can't find him anywhere!! So I just used the leftover fabric from my DOMO costume and made a instantly gratifying stuffed Domo. My love. I added some fringe hair to make him even uglier because to me,

awkward = love.

Next to Domo is another Phunnie I wanted to make. When I was a child, I had this raggity-ann looking bunny that was grey, ugly, and amazing. I carried him everywhere. Anyway, I can't find him so I wanted to recreate the homey feel. I cut apart my pattern for a dress and handstiched almost everything. (same with the Domo plush). love it!!

Etsy Shop!

I finally created my Etsy shop! angrybunni.etsy.com ! Now I have something to showcase for.

Now for goals... hmmmmm

By each Sunday, I will have created something new to put in my shop.

New Goals of 2009

I am extremely creative and have tons of energy. I wonder out loud about people who have all this potential, yet waste it. I can't have room to judge! It is 2009, the new year. I need to make my goals attainable and fullfilling as well. I love art but I am currently in love with sewing.

Weaknesses:
- not self motivated enough to finish long term goals
- easiliy distracted
- easily discouraged so I must ignore all criticism that is not constructive
- social butterfly
- let what others think of work very seriously

Strengths:
- works best isolated with the occasional eye opener, i.e. inspiration with friends, pretty things, etc.
- HAS the ability

thERefOre, me gOaLs should be what I had from last year: START SELLING SELLING SELLING!!!

1. contact Rose D.(old roomie) to see if she wants to collaborate with me at Festival on the Green at UWF.
- Rose will make pillows and sell her photography
- I will make random accessories (Totes, hair pieces, more pillows) and possibly sell my paintings.
- Mrs. D can sell her soaps and whatnot
- We will set it up Anthropologie/urban Outfitters Style!! Use Rose's Green chair, add some beautiful curtains, idea is WHIMSICAL!!

2. If that fails, sell on Etsy.
