meet little dog

Enjoying the afternoon sun and doing a little dog watching... (click on pics to enlarge them)

Anywhere near Cameron is alright with her.

I just told her to stop begging for food, so she left the kitchen and is sulking...

Cameron as her dog bed...
Her other favorite spot- my Anthro chair, awesome...

Loves Loves Loves this guy, or thinks he has food for her...

This pretty much sums it up- she uses us to gain a little height to accommodate for her short stature...

Prints of nostalgia and honey


Since joining Pickwick, the new print shop in portland, I decided to open up an etsy shop to sell my prints online.

I currently have a few prints listed in my first etsy shop- grayday- with the intent to decorate the home, etc. But now I will move them over to my print shop, and keep drawings and the occasional painting in grayday beside my home decor items and handmade pillows.

I'm really excited to get this going and plan on using part of Friday to take better photographs and list the prints in my shop! Here's a link for a sneak peek! Gray Day's Print shop
And I've added a link to the right sidebar of my blog.

What's been going on...?

This week has been busy and it's only thursday, well Thursday at 1am! whoops. But I thought I would just check in with my 'ol blog and post some things I've been up to! First off- above is a picture of the remaining birthday flowers Cam got me the other week. He bought roses and lillies and these are the last ones still kicking. So I cut them and put them in this fun old pitcher we have which makes a lovely color combo!

On Tuesday I went out to Western Maine to the gallery I do freelance web work for. Although I continually update their etsy shops during the week I hadn't been out there since Nov, so it was a good time to check in. We got a lot done in those 6 hours! I made them a blog, which I now am going to regularly update! I also signed them up for a twitter account the week before and we began taking new and improved pictures for their etsy shop. I'm heading back out there next Tuesday for more photos and updates. A new year and the perfect time to market their jewelry for wedding season!

On Sunday we had our first meeting at the printing co-op I now belong to, and I am very very excited! It's going to be a great opportunity, great for networking and for shows! Can't wait to get in there. Well to bed, to bed......

Lobstah


The other evening, after a full day of rain, we decided to cash in on our little Lobster dinner birthday celebration event and all around tasty evening... So we went to our local seafood place on Commercial Street and got two big ones. It's nice to get super super fresh lobster and especially great when it costs less than Salmon!

It all felt so appropriate with the howling winds and rain beating down on our windows, we already felt like we lived in a light house so having a fresh catch was very ideal. As we picked apart our lobsters we spoke of future abodes with our very own row boat and lobster traps to catch our own meals!

some day some day

combating the winter doldrums...

It's only the middle of January and already I find myself getting restless and pining for the days of sandals and walks to the farmer's market... However, I will admit a fresh snowfall always picks me up a bit. Perhaps it's the potential threat of a snow day, or just the clean white frosting coating all the trees along my drive to work, either way luckily that part of winter has not gotten old. And although I don't have a quick fire way to get over cabin fever, I offer some photos to merely document my January in New England.

"She came in through the bathroom window...." The view from our bathroom window. Yes we are 6 inches from the neighboring house. And we haven't had quite the dump of snow to cause a complete black out of this little portal... but the ice cycles do for now!

Look closely, and click on the image to enlarge if you must- there is a blue jay in this Cypress looking out from our kitchen window....

And for my Birthday on Sunday the 17th, Cam made me home made eggs benedict with salmon tomato and onions! He's quite good at making hollandaise sauce!

Good luck with your winter! The bright side is the sun is waking up a little earlier and staying up past 4:30! So there's always a silver lining.
