It’s that time again…time for my yearly recap! 2011! What did I do, anyway? Let’s investigate…

January 2011

Got a faaaabulous new camera for Christmas! Yes, it’s been a whole year, and I am just as in love with my camera as I was at the beginning!

I go through an intense obsession with skateboarders, especially Spanky Long. It’s inappropriate. Maybe. Hell, he’s of legal age, ne’er mind.

Initiation of obsession with platform shoes! Well…I guess it’s always been there, it just…intensified a little more.

The Ambien Walrus inspires some scribbly weird drawings:

Oh Lord.

February

Listed “Yellow Glitter Girl” on Etsy (and later sold it!).

Wrote/illustrated “60 Reasons Why You’re Awesome” for my father on his 60th birthday.

Ambien/glitter/Sharpie/Edie…

I abandon painting for a little while in favor of freestyle Sharpie/marker drawings.

We threw a successful Anti-Valentines Day party, where I dressed in neon, proclaimed that I was “bringing the 90s back” and then performed a rousing interpretation of “Baby Got Back”, my best karaoke performance to date.

These were fun to create, and I didn’t take them too seriously.

Anna May Wong, and nailpolish.

My beautiful granny floral Doc Martens arrive! Yaaaaayyyy!

March

Stencil/spraypaint project for Stacey, who killed his blog.

The Boy does a guest entry about seeing Ron Jeremy at church.

Neon Amish…for the Boy.

Corinne turns me onto pettipants, sparking my idea for Pettipants Revolution! Speaking of which…I test drove the serger last night. It came already threaded, which is fantastic, although I managed to un-thread it, but then I re-threaded it…all by myself! And then I fixed a pair of legwarmers for Corinne! And later today I’ll be making my very first pair of pettipants! YES!

I create another hoop and pick up the hooping habit again.

April
MAUI!!!

Soooooo happy. Waves of happiness. Maui is Magic! It inspired something like 3000 photos and a 20 part blog entry, which you can read here.

BEST VACATION EVER.

Oh God I miss you Maui.

May

Good old “Harry’s Filters”, always a good time.

Open my Zazzle store!

The BEST PLATFORMS EVER come into my life!

I like this one. Maybe I should have it printed on tee-shirts.

June

Make a fabulous wedding quilt for my cousin, but forget to take photos of finished quilt (merp).

Well…you know. Seemed like a good idea at the time?

Gay Pride! Hooray!

This is a good one.

Holy crap, we’re only at JUNE??? This is taking way too long. This is also why I always seem to do these recaps in two parts…it’s hell for my A.D.D.! Not to mention that we ran out of oil last night for the furnace, so it’s 55 degrees in here and I’m typing with gloves on and this is RIDICULOUS.

I’ll be back…with part 2!
