2011 recap–Part 2

Oohhkay, a quick recap for the rest of 2011 while it’s still 2011! I need a sense of completion.

Camping, glorious camping, under massive sizzling power lines!

the drag queen coloring book (rough draft)
Self published my drag queen coloring book! Still needs some work before it can be available to the erm, needy public.

strand
Our brief, intense affair with “Mad Men” causes me to have a brief, intense obsession with pearl necklaces, white satin nightgowns and perfectly curled hair.

DIY sparkle cha cha heels
DIY sparkle cha cha heels! A summer project that I actually started and finished (that’s the hardest part).

Corinne at home
Skinny broad shows some leg!

too darn hot
Fed up with Seattle’s “summer”, I go to Boise for a week, and the temperature soars above 100 every day. I sunbathe approximately long enough to take this photo and spend the whole week inside in the air conditioning. I’m not crazy.

September
Launched THIS HERE BLOG!

I order the sexiest business cards ever!

woman with hat painting
“Woman with Hat”, which I hastily painted for the R.A.W. show, but still think would look good as a two-part painting set.

drag t-shirt 2
I order my own “Drag is the Drug” tee-shirt, and surprise! I love it! My optometrist liked it too. I wear it to the gym.

Petticoat Lane
Corinne and I make our petticoat dreams come true-oooh, thanks to “Petticoat Junction”! I’m still working on our portrait, based off of one of the photos from this great series taken by the Boy.

October
new glasses!
New glasses! Also the first eyeglasses I’ve ever had (and I mean since junior high) that I’ve actually wanted to wear in (gasp!) public.

two turbans painting
“Two Turbans” painting.

current quilt in progress
Another quilt! This one still needs to be edged, that’s it, oh, and tied. Dammit. Finishing quilts = no fun.

Liz on the boat (with a little rain falling)
Sailing on the Odyssey!

post-eyelash extensions II
I get my very first eyelash extensions! I LOVE THEM. I fully endorse “lash crack“, as they say.

seriously shiny
I wear the Silver Spaceship out in public, earning praise all night long!

Marc Antony and Cleopatra
After slaaaving away making our costumes all month long and decorating the house and obsessing over every detail…we both got horribly sick just in time for our annual Halloween party, BOO HOO. It was still fun though. I think. Maybe.

November
mother and daughter
I take the horrifyingly accurate Myers-Briggs personality test, and get the exact same result as my mother! Twice. Help me, Rhonda.

Um…Zella leggings come into my life? Sheesh, November was a slow month.

Finally, a family Christmas portrait.

What else? I return to the work force. And…that brings us up to date. More or less. I’m sick of this recap! Good-bye, 2011! You were a good year.
