The tile saga continues…

We found out today at 3:30 that we would have 0% use of our bathroom for the next 2 days. We’ve been squeaking by with being able to use the toilet, kitchen sink, and nightly trips to friends’ showers (thank you Fordyces, Mayottes, and McGuigans!)

But seriously, who tells a 9 month pregnant woman that she can’t use her own bathroom? or better yet, who says that you will be able to use your toilet throughout the whole retiling process and then takes it back with no notice? Oh well, being frustrated won’t solve anything. Here are some photos from the day.

I was needing an excuse to come up with some new monsters for the series and my friend and coworker at JLOOP Courtney gave me just that. She saw the pillow monsters I made for Sloane and Ella and asked me if I could make a couple more for two of her friends that had upcoming baby showers. I got a little crazy and gave Max arms AND legs, but then I went back to the basic one set of limbs for Jason! I really like how the fabric and shape of Max turned out, but I definitely still prefer the large teeth and one large eye on Jason! (also, I like inserting ! at the end of awesome names) Anyways, here are the new monsters…

Our good friends are expecting little ones very soon. Marta went to the baby shower this morning and we handmade some fun stuff for them. Marta is a genius when it comes to sewing and I try to pick up some pointers from her. I made the monster pillows to match the booties Marta made. And now I’ve decided to start a series of creations, drawings, animations, anything monster-inspired called “MEGAWESOME MONSTERS”
More to come soon…
