another day another list

September 28, 2009

can't figure out how to enter my training hours into the usa swimming officials section :) nice... the boy got grandma's lawn mowed, met my sister's dog and had a decent visit... got a haircut, it was tragic at first, but now it's fine - it's just REALLY short, which i like, but i don't quite have "heroin chic" aesthetic to really pull it off...but after i washed the helmet shape from it, i was (am) pleased...should probably take another pic and update my profiles... was looking through the CCS catalog over the weekend and i just really like skater company designs - i would LOVE to design skateboards and t-shirts...might try to incorporate some of the elements into my design work... for starters i should have a banner here at the very least, and can probably use that at etsy as well... i'm going to make t-shirts of my current lino block set, the alphabet, i'll post them when i have them ready...i think they'd make cute onsies, but we'
