you deserve a donut.

first off, spring break in 1 minute:


we spent our precious off time in south bend with half the sisters' kohrs and the coolest couple notre dame could offer.





first we stopped for the night in omaha, then started annoyingling bright and early the next morning for SB. we saw much barren waste land, and went through the birthplaces of many cool people, but most importantly, joliet - birthplace of Nick Offerman (Ron Swanson!)




once there we participated in a native american art battle. clearly we were the best. then we ate fish and chips at an irish pub.


homework happened some of the time.


breakfast for dinner (bowls of bacon,) and much deserved doughnuts.



we dodged many children on an olympic sized skating rink, and ate beignets after.



we stuffed our faces with pizza, and watched many movies while enjoying many cheesy balls.


then of course we drove home against a snow storm, across even more barren looking wasteland than before. we stopped for a delicious dinner in omaha, and got home in time to finish all the rest of the homework due the next morning.

terrific.

my best friends are famous!

check out the Rhett and Link from Omaha.

pizza, books, and monuments.

started my spring break early this week while my favorite person was back in town.
we had to keep our favorite tradition alive. d'bronx, prospero's, memorial arch. good stuff.


left our mark "smoke signals" style.









past years: 2012, 2011

snowdays.

I'm a huge fan of snow that keeps me away from class and work. it's beautiful and amazing. I got to do a lot of sleeping and painting and eating warm food. and really who doesn't want to just sleep, paint, and eat? (and probably watch a lot of tv. that also happened)

snowmageddon

anytime we get this much snow the only logical thing to do is build an army of snowmen, gather "weapons," and level them.

2012

I made a video recap at the beginning of last year and enjoyed the result enough to try again this year. here is 2012 in less than four minutes.



and my favorite new years song:

sweet afton studio.

a while back I mentioned that I would be interning with sweet afton, and the designs I did for them are done, printed and I've held them in my hands! I'm a little psyched.



for more about the prints/process, visit the shop.

that is all.

creative endeavors.

I finished this project on tuesday and it's definitely my favorite so far. I feel like I find a new movement to identify with every semester. this time I'm an abstract expressionist. it's decided. I just knew this was coming.






this little man kept me company for part of the time. he's about the greatest.


(notice the lack of blue on him. I am the greatest aunt ever, especially considering the first photo)
