finsihed!

I finally finished my dress today! About time, I know.
I really only had to add the red border, and do some minor adjustments. I'm so happy with the way it came out!

I misplaced my tripod, so I had to use my ever so trusty photobooth, hah. Real good quality pics, I promise  ;)


It looks a little wonky on the hanger, I guess I should have added some hidden straps so it would be easier to hang. 


Yesterday I made Norwegian waffles for breakfast, mmm delicious. My grandma used to make the most amazing waffles ever, some of my favorite memories growing up were the many weekends spent at her house listening to the same stories over and over again, I could never get enough :) Eating waffle, after waffle, it's really surprising I wasn't a chubby monkey as a kid!


For dinner I had homemade pizza at a friends house, who built the most amazing pizza oven in his backyard. Food tastes so much better outdoors, plus nothing is better than your very own mini personal pizza fresh from the oven, that you made yourself <3


I just ordered my supplies, and I'll be ready to work this Wednesday, scary, but oh so exciting!
If you live in the area, come see me! <3

I just finished up some sketches for my new set of flash, I'm so in love with the tea cup, and I secretly want another tea tattoo <3 LOVE!!


My friend Sarah, who lives in KC also got picked for the Miss Tattoo USA pageant, and I am super excited cause that means we get to share a room, and live it up all weekend long, hah! Also, I get to hangout with this pretty lady, Diamond, who's competing in the pageant in June <3 So exciting!


How cuuute is she!!! :)

I have some laundry to attend to, then some cleaning up to do, a dinner to eat and then a date with the gym.
I hope you are enjoying the new week!

xo.

Awww! You're so sweet! I'm really excited to finally meet you! I had a question...maybe I could buy some sketches off of you when you visit? I'm also looking to get tattooed pretty soon and I'm in love with your work. :)

Also, my best friends birthday is that weekend...maybe we could all hang out?! There's a to die for Vegan Restaurant in Dallas called The Spiral Diner. I think you'd love it.

P.S.- That waffle tattoo is amazing.
