weekend love // tattoos & library books & sketches

February 20th, 2012

This weekend…

Got my fourth & annual Birthday tattoo on Saturday.
Favorite flower to remind me of the sunny days I love so much :]
I had a rough time the first half because of a nagging headache..
Got some cajun fries from Five Guys and felt a lot better.
Owie ow, no hip checks for awhile!
[excuse the less-than-great photo]

creative books

Found a bunch of rad craft and art books at the library.
I was surprised that my library had that book about zines & prints–that was my favorite.
Lots of ideas floating around in my head!


Doin’ a bit of illustrating. Letters!

I had a bit of an off week–had a bad day on Tuesday which led to me missing derby practice and taking a ‘mental health night.’ [Nothing to do with Valentine's Day] So this weekend was pretty quiet to catch up on things and just relax.

Little things that made me smile:
sunshine . Daria DVDs . planning blog posts . working out with a bunch of rad ladies . trip planning . new dresses . scallion pancakes . new pen pal

How was your weekend?

Best thrift find ever & more

February 8th, 2012

Now that it’s winter I finally got to use my best thrift find ever..

dun dun dun…

thrifted snowboard boots

…$5 Vans snowboard boots!

I was so, so excited to find these last summer. Anyone who skis/snowboards knows just how pricey boots & equipment are. I was expecting them to be at least $20–when the woman told me the price of $5 I thought it was for each boot. Nope, $5 for the pair. Perks of small little independent thrift shops: awesome friendly people, really good prices. The boots are a bit on the older side in terms of the way they’re made, but the fit is perfect and they have very little wear. My thrifted boots got my newbie snowboarding self down the slopes successfully. Score!

Also, a couple recent finds:

that's how I roll

Interesting thick fabric, vintage plaid shirt, Scooby Doo t-shirt [squee!], and baseball sleeve shirt I started to cut up.

What’s your all time best thrift find? ♥


New Layout

February 5th, 2012

Just wanted to stop by and say that Completely Unfinished has a new look! The old layout has been up since June, and was definitely in need of a refresh & more organization. I’m still tweaking a couple things–mostly in the sidebar. Jump out of your reader and check it out :)

I’m always super stoked about the first of the month! I designed a wallpaper back in the fall and wanted to share another one after the idea of argyle + hearts popped into my head. Right click & open in a new window to save the image.
