You can download the template for these printable sticky notes at my blog! They are lots of fun to make!
The leaf veins have taken on a more stylized look. It was interesting to connect the pathways and fill some negative spaces with snippets of fabric, paper and photos. There is a map effect which I like here but not sure if I will use in my final stitch project. It is not free enough for me.
Note the size of the REAL people at the foot of the nurse. See how the grass has been worn away by folks looking up her skirt! UPDATE: This temporary artwork has been removed and a permanent replacement made of metal should be in place by the end of 2013. The money is in the bank.

I got a pack of 150 'Joyce' stickers as a gift from Andrea, my colleague, a couple of years ago and just started putting them on EVERYTHING.

Some other tips (from onewed.com)…
Get a good set of hot rollers. Hot rollers are key to creating loose, natural-looking curls. Wash your hair, apply some curling cream to the roots, flip your head over and blow dry upside down. Flip hair again and brush it out lightly. When your hair is dry, section off large pieces and set them in hot rollers, starting at your forehead, working your way to the sides, and finishing with the back. Rub some curling cream between your palms, remove the rollers, then finger-style to reduce frizz. “You’ll be left with soft, piece-y curls that are easy to sweep up and pin in place,” says Romero.
• Use the train track bobby pin method. “When you’re ready to create the updo, put away your comband brush. “They’re a trade secret. They don’t slip and come in colors to match your hair.” Starting at the front of your head, take a three-inch section and gently pull it back, securing with two bobby pins, criss-

Basic 40s and 50s Curl Sets « Skirting The Issue
I love sharing my little revelations with you guys, so since I finally got two basic curl sets figured out I thought I should write a tutorial. I’m going to show you a good basic 40s set, and a basic 50s set. The difference is that the 40s set has more volume on the bottom half and generally lies smooth over the crown, where the 50s set has more volume all over. Though they seem to be so similar you could easily interchange them and hardly anybody would know the difference. Depending on your hair, one could turn out looking like the other.
I’m going to show you the setting patterns for rollers since most of us are not quite skilled enough in the art of pin curls, but if you are they’re easily converted. You’ll have more and smaller curls but the directions will be the same. These are great beginner sets; they don’t involve a bunch of different layers going in opposite directions, and with practice they can easily be done in 10-15 minutes. For the sake of simplicity, I’ll be showing you my own hair after being set by the diagrams I’ve made (though I take no credit for designing them. Chances are a bazillion people before me have done the same ones). The celebrities hair have of course not been done using my diagrams, but it was probably set in a similar way and they do a better job of showing the difference between the decades, and an idealized look at how these should turn out. Now don’t forget your end papers and setting lotion! Ready?
Let’s start with the 40s set.
Front
Back
Veronica Lake, who's hair is even longer than my own.
Lauren Bacall, with a more traditional length.
This set is rolled only up to your ears, excepting the bang area which goes right up to the scalp, so the long curl will help frame your face. All curls will be going down, but you can tilt the ones in front towards your face if you like. You can do this in as many rows as you like, but for normal to fine hair and using rollers one can easily be enough. I prefer to have the curls done in an even row(s) all around the head, so that when you brush it out it creates nice uniform waves, but as every day 40s hair tends to be a little fluffier this isn’t so necessary. This is in fact an excellent set to try doing with pin curls.
You probably won't need this.
When your hair is set, it might actually look pretty cute. If you come out with kinks in the top, you can use a flat iron or curling iron to smooth it out. Keep in mind that sponge rollers with their plastic clasps do tend to create kinks more than others, so I’m not partial to them. But you can use whatever you’re most comfortable with. I’m loyal to my pillow rollers, and when they’re not available I rag roll with whatever I can find. There’s a how-to video on this at the bottom of the article. Here’s the 40s set done with strips of paper towels. It needed to be brushed again, so don’t mind the ringlets and crazy flyaways.
And now here’s the 50s set.
Damn, I got that on the first try! I wish I could say the same for the second and third tries. We’re all learning together. You might find that this looks similar to the 40s set, however it’s rolled right up to the scalp which creates more volume all over. You can see the difference a lot better on shorter hair.
Elizabeth Taylor's shorter hair demonstrates the volume starting right from the crown, as opposed to the more bottom-heavy look of the 40s.
Again, keep in mind that your hair cut affects the final look, so you might not have those face framing curls from the pictures. And if your hair is longer like mine, the weight might keep the crown looking smooth and 40s no matter what. That doesn’t mean it won’t look good, just go with what you have and make it yours.
My crappy drawing is a rough guide to how the curls should be positioned. Hopefully it's not TOO crappy to understand.
As you can see, there are about 4 curls going down the center of the head; the front one going forward and the others going back. The second one can go towards what will be the thick side of your part, but I find it difficult for some reason and unnecessary. Then you’ll have two on each side going down.
The easiest way to go about this is to start with your hair parted deeply to whichever side you prefer, about over the arch of your eyebrow. Grab the section above your ear on the thin side and curl it down, or angled slightly forward if you like. Then grab a section of similar size behind it and curl it down as well, trying to get it to the same level. Then you can do the two curls on the top of your head, separated by another symmetrical parting over the other eyebrow. Curl the other side to match the first, and finally separate what’s left in the back into two curls going downward. Like before, if you have more hair or you’re using smaller rollers or pin curls, you’ll have more curls but they’ll still be going the same way. When you’re done you’ll look incredibly silly. Cover with a Rosie bandanna.
Make sure to brush this one out slowly and against your hand to keep it as smooth as possible, and shape the curls so they blend together. Hopefully you come out with a winner!

I hope I explained these well enough. If you have any questions let me know. I’m going to finalize this by showing you a video that explains rag rolling quite well, since it’s incredibly useful if you don’t have any rollers handy and it’s something a lot of people have trouble with. It’s not half as hard as you might think. Good luck, guys!

Now, the most important thing to create a beehive is a rat, or hair filler. I mean, you don’t NEED one, but it’s a hell of a lot harder without it, and you’re more likely to end up with a rat’s nest instead. I use a long narrow rat for bumper bangs, so I curved it into a U shape with the middle facing up for this look. You can also just use a round or ball-y shaped one. A lot of people put cotton or fake/real hair into some pantyhose or a hair net for this. Bumpits are crap btw. Put your rat on the crown of your head or slightly higher in case of sagging or just to make it all the more epic. Pin it in place. Then bit by bit, take the hair from the top of your head and tease the living shit out of it, and pin it over the rat. Do this until you look like Dolly Parton. The last bit that will cover the surface should be left smooth. Then you just need pomade and a light touch with a comb to smooth the top out, and lot of hairspray. I slept in mine and it somehow actually survived, only shrinking a little. Which was perfect as I was feeling lazy and liked it and wanted to leave it up for work. Anyway, you can leave the bottom in beachy waves like Bridgette Bardot, put it in a ponytail, or for more of a Hairspray or formal look, twist it up into a French twist and tuck the ends in.
Holy crap that was easy.
This is not me, but I do feel this fabulous.

Yesterday, this was taken yesterday but for some reason not uploaded.
Ok so woke up and laid in bed with Ryan a bit. Then went to go make what turned out to be disaster cinnimon rolls lol. We cooked them for well over 22 minutes and they were still a gooey mess! We went to Hastings to pick up some movie for his boss. And then to the college to drop it off. Talked to Briia and a couple other people for awhile. Then Ryan took me to go get hay for the baby bunnies. Got Orchard Grass, it was the softest they had. He brought me back here. I edited up some photos. And guess what?! The furballs now all have their eyes open! Exciting! He came over after work and we hung out, go food, stuff like that. He started to feel sick so we took about an hour nap and then he left. PSN is still down, n I dont have a TV now cause Aiden was good and got it back lol damn, no Dead Space for me. So I finished City of Glass, I wish Deadline would come out already!!!! Something happened that was rather funny and irriating all at the same time that made me feel good about myself lol we wont go into that.
Anyway, went to bed with a headache in much appreciated darkness.
Sticky note. Ok so this is more of a joke than anything. On the way back from Ryans on the side of the road is a trailor park full of bright sea foam green trailors. I dont understand why in the world they painted them that color lol but hey Id live in one just to say I have lol.
I need more creative pictures, but my 365 has become so not fun anymore, sorry.
In a musical scale, maybe you could hear a note that will choke your head. Of course, the note isn't right. Isn't proportional, isn't symmetric, isn't harmonical. It's Blue! Blue note.
Every day, at least once per day, Emily "writes" me love notes. They consist of multiple squiggles across the page and she will "read" them to me.
There's a lot of, "You're the best Mom in the whole world" and "I love you as much as the world" and, yeah. It's pretty adorable.
I got home from work last night and she came over with a note for me. I asked her if I could take a video of her reading it and she graciously obliged.
(I will be so very sad the day she no longer has a lisp.)
Playing with some new stamps and dies from Penny Black.
thanks for looking,

Blank note paper is stored here. I got these blank note papers from Marukai as well. They are much thicker than Filofax paper and are perforated. My sections are soon followed by all my plastic inserts like this zip pouch (Day-Timers because I couldn't stand the one from Filofax with its chunky zip pull). I store color coding dots, and more stickers here, as well as a photo of my son when he was much younger.
finally ordered some more Field Notes from Coudal. such nice packaging.
