So the other idea I had brewing around in my head for a long time has been to create a body of work that was inspired by the act of swimming. I have always been scared of the water and never really learned how to swim. In the last few years I have been slowly learning how to swim and gaining my confidence in the water in general. I am obsessed with swimmer artwork and have decided I need to make my own...Here are some inspirational images.

Birds Chirping
Ahhh...I'm finally in my new apartment and it feels great to hear birds chirping outside my bedroom window right now. It's not the typical pigeon poo coo you might think one would hear in the heart of San Francisco. They're the kind of birds that I'd like to think would fluff my pillows in the morning or give me a sponge bath or something.Here's to daydreaming...

Moving!
I've been busy looking for a new place to live the past month or so and have finally signed a lease today. I'm excited! This process is always so stressful for me but this time I want to try to make it as chill as possible. I think it will be good that I signed a lease for April 1st and don't have to be out of my place till May 1st. So I have the ability to move at my leisure. Hope to get crackin on sewing once I get my stuff organized again. Can't wait to be inspired by a new beginning...

nourishment
In two months I caught two different viruses. It's been a pain not being able to be productive! But I managed today to be inspired and cook myself something nutritious and delicious. I'm calling it Izzy Udon. It's about taking whatever is in my fridge and turning it into a soup.
Soup ingredients: Spring onions, ginger, star anise, carrots, cauliflower, veggie bouillon, 2 tbs Miso, a splash of toasted sesame oil, a couple splashes of fish sauce for extra umami flavor, and of course Japanese seasoning mix (bonito, sesame seeds, seaweed).
To top it off I added a soft boiled egg. Add a runny egg to anything and it makes my day!

Babe-ushka!
Gosh, it's taken me too long to get these things documented. Though it's been some time (Fall 09) since I made them I'm still obsessed with folkloric inspiration. This collection was inspired by Russian dolls specifically. Thank you Laura for taking time out on Sunday to help me with this. Isn't she a Babe-ushka!
