Triceratops Arm!

Where's what I did yesterday:



I got a new triceratops skull tattoo on my "Darcy" arm! I am head over heels in love with it, and can't stop looking at it. My pupils are shaped like hearts.

My good friend David Bruehl did the work. He is absolutely amazing. If you're even considering a tattoo, you should try to book an appointment with him. He is based here in OK, but often travels for conventions and keeps his schedule pretty up to date.

I already booked another appointment with him for next month, and it just might be one of the top 10 cutest tattoos ever.

David & I talked about working on some things together this year, and I'm pretty excited about it. You'll be the first to know when things are in place.

Stitchosaurus

I don't know if I've mentioned this on my blog before, but my 2 year old daughter Darcy is obsessed with dinosaurs. She goes crazy anytime she sees anything about dinosaurs. She has approximately 30 different dino action figures and can correctly identify at least 10 different species. I never imagined my little girl would love dinosaurs this much. She makes our hearts swell with pride.

A few weeks ago I was browsing Etsy, and stumbled upon my new favorite cross stitch designer, andwabisabi. She had a Brontosaurus among her collection, so I bought it for Darcy.



I started this piece last night around 8pm and worked on it for about an hour, then finished it around 10am this morning. So it went pretty quick.

I also bought some cute dinosaur fabric from another Etsy seller, and I'm planning on using that as the main fabric in a quilt for Darcy.


She really goes bonkers for this fabric. When I pulled it out today for the cross stitch photo shoot, she squealed and said, "My dino covers! I just wub it so much!" Then she ran over and started counting all the dinos.

We're going to be moving to a bigger house (same city) next month, and I'm focusing on these colors and other dino goodies for her room.

What things are the kids in your life currently in love with?
