Pillow Talk


With everything that’s been happening lately, I’ve been trying to keep myself busy with art projects. I figured it’s what my aunt would have wanted and enjoyed seeing. She was always interested in seeing what I was capable of creating.

So with this recent project, let me start by saying this was supposed to go in a different direction.
My couch needs some fun stuff happening to it (a bigger project possibly involving patchwork is in the works). In the meantime I wanted simple and fun. I came across eye pillows that caught my eye πŸ˜‰.

Convenience Of Instant

You know, I didn’t realize how much into photography I’ve been getting into lately. Being one who grew up learning the ins and outs of arts and crafts, and graduating with a degree in illustration, photography never was something I was into. That said, I’ve been really getting into taking photos and having the option to print them. The physical copies allow me to get crafty with bookmaking and scrapbooking, which is something I’ve been wanting to dive into more than when I started teaching myself book binding.

Nashville, TN Highlights

Day four of our trip was a big traveling day for us. We left the rental house in the morning, drove all the way to Asheville, NC for dinner, and then drove to Nashville, TN to the motel to sleep the night away. It was loads of driving, and we arrived to Nashville so so so late. And the motel experience was pretty uncomfortable, almost to the point where it felt as if we stepped into a horror movie, but I won’t get into that because it’s in the past and I’m alive. 👐

Down The Coast We Go

Nags Head, North Carolina

So I’ve had quite a number of family friends ask me, β€œdidn’t you go on enough vacations this year?”. I did, but I’m trying to do this thing where I say yes more than no when good opportunities comes along.
Two weeks ago, a friend asked if I wanted to go on a road trip to North Carolina. Her aunt has a summer house that had a week free between being rented out and my friend wanted to reserve it for that week. I don’t have an excuse to really go south, so here was an excuse and opportunity. This year has been trip-tastic, so I figured why not go out with a bang and end it off with a rando road trip to the Old North State.

Crazy, Stupid, Love Notes

Graffiti In Athens, Greece

I’m just having fun with the titles at this point. I decided from now on I’m going to stay away from numbering the post titles because it gets a bit boring. I just hope y’all get the references.

Anywho, here’s another batch of some graffiti I’ve found across Athens, plus a gif of highway art for your viewing pleasure!

Day Trip To A Certain ‘Shmarkopoulo’

I took a trip yesterday with my uncle and the baby to visit his parents. They don’t live too far away – they’re still in Athens. Like, “suburban” Athens. Suburbia in Greece is so much different than what you would imagine. Not even close to the cookie-cutter image you may be thinking of.
But anyway, I haven’t been to that house in eleven years.

Characteristics Of Greece

I’m slowly figuring out the main characteristics that make this country strong in every way that is not financial, hah. Because their financial state is so weak, they successfully make up for it everywhere else.

Being anywhere long enough, you can spot the daily customs that make up a specific place. When you hear about Greece, most of these characteristics are brought up quite a bit, and they’re spoken about so much because they’re true.
Here’s some validation featuring photos.

Five Features From The Spice Girls Front

Spice Girls Gif

You know, I really feel kids today are so unfortunate for missing out on the Spice Girls scene.
Not too long ago I was out and about at a certain dinner event with friends. The majority of the crowd ranged from 15-19 years olds, and then there was the small group of us that were over age 24. A whole lot of songs from today’s mainstream were performed which all the young girls were loving. As the show was finishing up, the last song played was Spice Girls’ number one hit. I’ve never seen such a quiet crowd; Wannabe always gets the crowd going no matter where you are, but not here. The young girls were not amused, or maybe they just had no idea what song this was and it made me feel old and sad. (I imagine older generations feel the same way about their beloved songs.)
