FINALLY!

I have been waiting, longing, hoping, and LUSTING for an Audrey Kawasaki print for so so so so so so long.. try YEARS!  I am thrilled to announced that I FINALLY ordered one.  Her art fills me with a mixed bag of emotions:  envy, lust, heartfelt longing, and speechlessness.  Her art creates vibrations within me that I can't quite describe.  Her art print sales were generally limited to a limited run (between 50-150 or so), which generally precluded me from getting one.  However, after seeing a bunch of her art being flipped on ebay, she altered her practices to a TIMED presale, and thus I was able to make a purchase!

This is the print I chose, Hyakki Yakao, which is named due to this Japanese folklore of the night parade of one hundred demons.  I love the expression on her face and the delicate whips of hair around her face.  I have my wonderful boyfriend who was at a computer during the presale. I botched the time of the presale and then tried to buy the print on my iPhone which wasn't working.  He graciously stepped in and enabled me to get the print.  If he hadn't been around I would have had to hurriedly find a wifi spot!

Oh and I said I would post some snowboard pics, so here I go..

Mercury wasn't sure what to make of me sliding down the ice

Mine is the pink one, obviously... ;) I *love* my hot pink bindings.  Its hard to believe my boyfriend picked out such a perfect board for me, huh?  He has wonderful taste.

I haven't been talking about crafting very much on here lately.. Sooo... what have I been working on.   I am *still* working on the green leaf socks.  I have finished one and I'm almost halfway done with the second. 

Let me tell you they are slow going to knit!

I'll post final pics when they're done once and for all.  Next on the list to knit:  A cute longsleeved shrug that hits just below the chest with a rolled collar knit up in Rowan Ribbon Twist in color mole.

Until we meet again my friends!
