Mission Accomplished!

So, the story behind Dulce.A mister approached me with a project. He and his wife recently married and moved into a place that doesn't allow doggies, which meant no Dulce. To bring a smile to his wife's face, he commissioned me to sew a life-size version of their dog. Package received with open arms. He tells me she cuddles with the dog more than with him! Isn't that the cutest thing you've ever heard? I'm so happy & grateful play a small tiny part in it :)

Dulce Goes to the Park

By far the most challenging project I've ever done in 5 days... therefore, 100002348092348 awesome points. It was a good test in time management and pushing myself to make a plush so complex and so big. Hoorah!

In honor of Scott Pilgrim, I'm going to draw my "evil" exes in regular and superhero form. Haha. Here are the most recent three.

Progress Report #3: Dulce!

A headless dog!!!

Oh wait! There's a head!

Juuuust kidding. Hahaha sorry. I got so excited after I stuffed the body. I just need to do his head. I'm gonna dedicate all of tomorrow to it to make sure I get that cute face just right.

Now why you wanna go and do that, love, huh?

Oh brother, I did so much work today it's fabulous :)

Spent more money on caring for my car, delicious Cuban food with A, mailed a custom order (but not before doing a photo shoot in the post office) to C...

helped two lovely ladies with a project

and sewed more Dulce. I got less than 2 days to finish this! Braaaawwrrrr!! :)

Rock The Bells: Crafting & dancing with Dulce & the crew

Hands down the most epic hip hop show I'd ever been to. Snoop Dogg, Warren G, Rakim, Tribe, Wu-tang, Murs & 9th Wonder, KRS-One.... Yeaaaaaahhhhhh. My way of pre-partying?

Sushi, green tea, miso soup, salad and jotting down my to do list! Hahaha. I've been so work-minded that I knew I needed to decompress before the show to really enjoy it. So that's what I did.
I managed to find street parking (yay!) and walked behind these fine jesus-loving folk. Everyone loves hip hop.

Afshin, Shaila and Afshin's cousin were late so I saw Rakim & KRS-One on my own, lost in the crowd, sewing to the words & beats, sketching neighboring listeners.

There's a picture of me somewhere dancing to Tribe AND sewing. I'll have to bug Shaila for that one haha.
Just broin' out. No big deal.
What?! And you can't see all 39849320894208934 members of the Wu??! Teehee...
Yeah, that's a bag of potato chips Afshin found on the ground. Yeah, he's eating them. And yeah, they were delicious.
Snoop, you were surprisingly amazing. Especially when teamed with Warren G for Regulators. Thank you thank you thank you. I can die a happy woman having heard that song live.
