HOLIDAY HANDJOBS THIS FRIDAY, DEC. 18!

It's a dirty/queer/horny/something craft fair performance sexcapade with a bar! And yes, I'll be selling at it...my light switch covers...thank you. Or more specifically "horny shit made by horny people for other horny people to come buy while seeing horny performers and drinking horny beers" (from their website).

So... you should go! I'll be debuting more naughty light switch and outlet covers and possibly making crass and dirty remarks throughout the evening (actually very likely). Please come visit! It's the best way to get gifts to offend/entertain everyone on your list!

Friday, Dec. 18, 7-11PM!
Dilboy VFW in Davis Square (Red line to Davis)
371 Summer Street, Somerville

MassArt Holiday Sale: Dec. 7-12

Electrical Outfits will be on sale at MassArt's annual Holiday Sale from Monday, December 7-Saturday, December 12. Tons of great stuff (paintings, jewelry, sculpture, holiday items, apparel, and more) from MassArt students and alumni with a significant portion of the proceeds going toward student scholarships! Sale is open each day from 10am-7pm.

Mass Market 5! Dec. 13!

Hope to see you at the 5th Mass Market in MassArt's Gym on Sunday, Dec. 13! I'll be selling my Electrical Outfits and I'm making more naughty ones than ever this year!

There are over 60 vendors at this year's market, so you can put a serious dent in your holiday shopping. Are you also selling at this year's Mass Market? Well my friend, I am happy to organize trades! Just let me know. Remember to bring your cashola too as most vendors only take the green stuff. And by green stuff I mean cash money, and not pickles.

December 13 from 11-5! MassArt's Gym! Whoo!

Studio Progress

The studio is finally starting to feel like a space where I can get some work done!

This apartment needed so much work before it was livable (we painted nearly all of the walls, installed shelves in several closets, replaced all outlet and light switch covers since they were all painted to the walls, bought more furniture so the things living in boxes would have homes, and there's still more left to do.) I guess when you combine 2 households and a new space with fewer rooms and storage spaces than the previous houses, you're bound to feel the strain.

It has been beneficial because I've had to toss a lot of items that I truly didn't need-which prevents me from reaching hoarder status in the next few years. But it's also been a bit tricky. My previous living room was twice the size of this one, which means my beloved end tables are in the basement for now. I'm not sure if I'll find a place for them, but I'm holding out until we have each room totally set up. Then they might hit Criagslist. : (

It's definitely worth it though for a ginormous studio/office to share with CJ! We're almost totally set up...so close!

Bedroom Accent Wall

Please excuse the unmade bed-I'm home sick (coughing death rattle, migraine, nausea and more!) and thought this would be a good time to update with the progress of the bedroom accent wall. CJ was in China while I worked on it so it was a total surprise when he got back.

It's a design based on Cinnamon Ferns which we've seen in bogs throughout New England. I really like the shape of the little fertile fronds with spores and wanted to simplify their shape even further for our wall. It's not completely finished as I still want to shrink the size of the tallest fern and round out the leaves a bit more. But this will give you an idea of what I've been working on! The other rooms in the new place also all needed new coats of paint (as well as doors, moulding, the ceiling in some rooms, etc.), so it's been a very slooooow move-in. I love the new place though and I'm really excited to completely settle in. I'm almost out of boxes to unpack.

There is a headboard in our future too, so super-finished wall and bedroom photo coming soon!

Pack it up, pack it in!

Zero blog activity lately due to packing up all of my worldly possessions (studio included) and slowly moving to Somerville. I'm nearly finished though! Looking forward to increased productivity, less commuting hours, painting the apartment (we're talking color, people...avocado! marina blue! whoo!), living with the boy (and dog), and a much-needed change of scenery.

I am going to miss JP. It was mostly kind to me over the past 4 years (armed robbery attempt...I'm talking to you here). Thanks Boston proper for the past 6 years, but I'm crossing the river now. (And my grandma is very happy...Somerville is way closer to her dinner table and to her cannoli.)

Gotta go pack more stuff. Anyone interested in silkscreening mesh or mylar? I will likely not get around to using these anytime soon. (Not a hoarder, not a hoarder!)

I'll have a table at this Saturday's Rock and Roll Yard Sale in Union Square, Somerville. Drop by from 3-7 for light switch covers, vintage jewelry, records and much much more!
