I've been driving myself crazy trying to decide on a new duvet cover. Why is this such a hard decision? I've been thinking about this for a solid 9 months now! And I keep coming back to this one from Pottery Barn. It's so bright, and fun and completely different from what I have right now. This is a trend in my life, I need to switch things up frequently or I become painfully bored by my day to day. I think it's the curse of the creative because I know there are plenty more people out there like myself driving themselves crazy with silly things like this.
Anyway, back to the duvet cover. Love it. REALLY love it. Here's the problem though, none of my wall art really goes with it, at all. Thus forcing me to pretty much redecorate if I do in fact choose to purchase this. But...is that really so bad? I mean apart from the fact that I'll be spending more money of course. I feel like I must really like this if I found it like 9 months ago and I still keep coming back to it...
What do you guys think of it? Thoughts?
I clearly can't make a decision on my own. Oy!

Come to Mama...
I've been hemming and hawing over buying myself a spiffy new lens to use on my photo journey. If I'm gonna get serious about photography (or at least have it be a serious hobby) I need the equipment that will help me grow. After a TON of research, countless hours reading reviews and all that fun stuff I decided on this lens...
The Canon Telephoto EF 135mm f/2.0L USM , very spiffy indeed! I can only hope that it helps me and photography grow as much as it's made my bank account shrink :)
As I type this I am patiently or not so patiently awaiting the delivery of that pretty little lens. Waiting for that magical moment when UPS pulls into my drive way, walks up to my door and asks me to sign for my package. I will never again be so happy to awkwardly sign that weird electronic tablet. As soon as I get it in my hands I am going to play around with my new investment until there's no light left in the sky. Or at least until I fill my data card :)
Come on UPS, get here already!!! Your killin' me , Smalls!

Brand New Cuteness!
So, finally after much time of inactivity and general boringness from my end, I bring to you some new cute stuff! I know I'm a little late for Easter with the Bunnies but ya know what? I don't care. Bunnies are cute. Isn't that reason enough? Anyway, all the items you see above have been added to the shop, so feel free to peruse the new cuteness :)
Check em out in more detail in The SHOP :)
P.S. I'm going to try REALLY hard to get back into the groove of blogging! I've been spending a lot of time enjoying the beautiful Spring weather after a long winter. I'll be back to normal soon enough when the novelty of sun and flowers wears off :)

Yes, I'm Alive!
It's true! I'm alive! Phew! I bet a lot of you are very relieved to hear that :)
So yeah, wow, a whole month without blogging, what's the deal with that? I've been a bad blogger, but I promise to whip myself back into shape! Promise, promise, promise!
Anyway, I'm loving the sunny Spring transition right now! Here in Upstate NY it Spring is usually pretty non-existent but this yr I think were going to have a pretty solid Spring season instead of jumping from Winter to Summer, which is good because Spring is fun, and happy and looks pretty too! I'm itching to start taking pictures of everything blooming, we've got buds but nothing is in full bloom yet. I guess I'll have to be patient.
Hmmmm, what else can I update you on? Oh yeah! We found a Mama Mouse with 5 (or 6?) lil baby Mice in my studio the other day...now I'm petrified to go in there and work. They're cute and all but I'm a little paranoid one is going to crawl up my leg while I'm working. Also, my whole family was home to enjoy a relaxing Easter Sunday, always a good thing. My Miniature Dachshund Mel came a little over dressed to the event but as most of you already know, Mel is kind of a big deal, and she knows it. She really loved this dress.No, really, I'm not joking at all, she REALLY loved this dress, she walked around in it like she was hot stuff, lots of booty shaking and sexy poses. I think she most enjoyed the full bodied skirt and light weight material. SHe didn't wanna take it off! Crazy little chicken nugget, that little Melvin!
Alright, time to brave the studio and hope I don't get attacked by these tiny baby mice! Hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful holiday weekend!
