… ok, maybe not EVER, but it was pretty sweet. Why? Well, let me tell you.
1.) I bought my plane ticket to London today! (THE CROWD GOES WILD)
2.) My awesome cousin Ryan Martin had his solo exhibit opening this evening and it was even MORE amazing than I was expecting. So fun to see the neat space at Mark Wolfe Contemporary and see family. I’ll write much more about the show soon, but for now you can click here for more info.
3.) Lastly, I just became a pro bono consultant for the Taproot Foundation. They do amazing things for amazing organizations and I’m really excited to be a consultant and do my part! It’s been a while since I’ve done any volunteer work, so it’s about time I did something about it. Yay!
Sometimes life feels like it’s moving way faster than the speed limit. What is the speed limit of life? I don’t know, exactly, but things are moving at around 90 miles per hour these days. There’s so much I’d like to do/accomplish but so little time! So, I’m writing it out here. Why? Why not.
Business-Owning Bad-Ass
Well, not really, but doesn’t that sound catchy and awesome? I recently applied for a business license for my brand Babushka Designs in the county of San Francisco. It arrived on Saturday! Yayyyyy. What does this mean? It’s time to get serious…-er. I have so many ideas in this 8 lb. brain of mine (and in my fancy molskine) but time is the most important factor. I have 3 more slipper styles in the works, a handful of hats and some rad neckties that I need to finish up and get in the shop.
What’s that smell?
In other handmade news, have you seen my bedroom? And by my bedroom I more specifically mean, the pile of thrifted gold that’s laying on the floor? No? Well good because it’s crazy. I have about 5 dresses, 4 skirts and a sweater that I’ve accumulated over the past 6 or so months that need my attention. These things are dying to be worn around this kick ass town. I will be all over that this weekend, fo sho.
Working it.
In more techy news, mama needs to revamp her sad little website. I’ve been so focused on my blog and other web and print design projects that my personal site has fallen by the wayside. But, baby steps are acceptable at this point in time, so I will start by updating my portfolio, and adding a pdf of work samples to my blog. I think that would suffice, for now at least. As usual, I have big plans.
Anyway, I hope you all are having a wonderful Tuesday! Sorry this post is sans-photos (ahem, Cathy).
Happy Saturday, everyone! After 3 years of blogging, I’ve decided that it’s time I open up some ad space for artists/designers/businesses that I feel add value to our community. For more information, please visit the Advertising page, or shoot me an email at hellotati@yahoo.com.
It’s Monday. It’s almost 9pm. Do you know where your Tatiana is? I’m in my beloved (sometimes) Noe Valley Starbucks trying to focus on modifying some CSS for a client, and I couldn’t help but make a quick post about this lady (see: above). I really love Bjork, a lot. And this photo makes me really happy. And I wanted to share that information with you (and I guess the universe) at this very moment. That is all for now.
Coming soon-ish (hopefully tomorrow) – a little about my adventures in So Cal this past weekend, photos of a forgotten part of town, creating new traditions and a trip down memory lane.
