my mom's gonna get me for this...

it's funny how your mom can still get mad at you when you get a new tattoo...even if you're twenty-three and living on your own. my mom said she'd kill me if i got another one, so to make her happy i told her that the last tattoo i got was the last one...ever! little did she know, right? don't get me wrong, i love my mama very much, but this is my body and if i want to turn it into an art gallery, i can! with that said...i got this little beauty on the inside of my arm today...

Thomas Kenney is such a great artist! this is my fourth piece from him so far, and i love everyone of them! you can check out more of his stuff here...it's been quite some time since my last tattoo, so i forgot what the process was like and got a little nervous...but it wasn't too bad, considering this is the biggest one i've gotten thus far. i'm so glad i finally got this piece done cause it's been floating around in my mind for a while now.

on another note, i got a little crafty tonight and made this...


it has been a while since i've gotten crafty, so i started cutting up some fabrics and sewed them together. i didn't know what it was going to be until i got to the middle of the project...it's pretty much a glasses case, like the ones i've been making, but with a different layout. i added a tag to the bottom of it just in case i give it away. i love this print! it's a lot of red, but i think it looks pretty darn good. don't you?
