i want to make one

via bleubird.

I think stop motion is the prettiest. I want to make one really really badly.

more time being crafty tonight + snl.

happy saturday

Ps i love you I’ve been thinking a lot about tattoos lately. Probably about 2 or 3 times a year I get a really big urge to get one. One day I will have at least one – that much I know for sure, I also know that it doesn’t really fall into my budget at the moment. ha.

This Evening.

This evening I will be spending time here. Aka my studio. Except I won’t actually be in my studio considering I don’t have a studio. But if I did . . . It would be something like these (all via weheartit). White walls, huge windows, eclectic decor and  inspiration hanging everywhere. Yeah, that would be nice.

Tomorrow I’ll get back to the real world and attempt to figure my life out.

Ps i love you

2 things: blowing my mind.

this video:

this moleskine mini: see it all here.

there are also a few other things going on that are blowing my mind – but not necessarily in a good way. i’ll spare you those lovely tidbits however. i will say that it is really frustrating and a little scary when things don’t go the way you had planned.

my week is crazy. hopefully yours isn’t so bad.

xo

ps. i love you new followers (and old!!).

a winter goal.

I like to make goals for myself. I don’t really do so well with really serious/formal goals but I really enjoy making fun little goals to work towards. It doesn’t mean that I am any less serious about achieving them though  its just that sometimes my goals are made just by putting something out there. For example here, here, here and here. And sometimes, they come true – like here (eee!).

Anyways it’s no secret that I have been watching the Olympics lately – I really don’t care what sport is on but the past couple of days have been especially fantastic. Between women’s boardercross and men’s halfpipe, I really want to take up snowboarding.  via

So there – with all of you as my witnesses, I will one day, hit the slopes, snowboard in hand (or afoot) and learn to snowboard. Maybe this winter, if not then definitely next. Maybe I’ll surprise myself and be able to do sweet tricks like these.viavia  via

And perhaps if I don’t find myself able to do those tricks, at the very least I will be able to go out and spend a fun day on the slopes with my friends and look sweet in the awesome gear. Aaaand I’ll have a reason to vacay to Whistler (gorgeous!). Ps I love you.

all via

I would never be able to buy a snowboard just fyi. #1 – I am sooo indecisive. #2 – there are hundreds are sweet boards. I would NEVER be able to choose. I could do a whole post on a snowboard wishlist but don’t worry, I’ll spare you that little treat. lol.

Friends, Lovers or Nothing?

Valentines, actually. Yes, John Mayer + Myself = Valentines. Thats what he said to me and thousands of other people last when he was in town last Saturday night.  After getting over the initial disappointment of finding ourselves in what I thought were going to be floor seats but ended up not being floor seats – the show was amazing. Even not having floor seats, our seats were better than the last time I saw John a couple years ago. In fact the whole show was even better than the last time (even though this time did include a gross amount of PDA by a couple who probably would have been better off staying at home this time did not however, include being hit by the man sitting behind us because we were standing and he thought we should be sitting – long story. You can read a bit about it here).

Michael Franti and Spearhead opened – who I was thoroughly confused by (they played a wide range of music styles and whenever someone in the band didn’t have a part in the song they left the stage). They did  do a really good job of pumping us up – which I suppose is the main task of the opener is.  They are entertainers for sure. Also, the lead singer (Michael Franti) popped up like three rows in front of where we were sitting to do one of his songs. That was pretty sweet. I love John Mayer – I don’t care what people say about him and I don’t even really care what he says. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - Continuum is one of my favourite albums ever. He is a fantastic musician and a really gifted performer. I’ve been to two shows of his and I’ve had an amazing time at both. I was ready to hitchhike to Toronto to see him again on Sunday night. I don’t really know what to say – there is just something about seeing one of your favourite artists live. Magic.

Like last time I didn’t take a picture of myself so you’ll just have to believe that these pictures are mine and that I was actually there. Lol.

xooxo Jer

A New Banner

I realize I have been saying I plan on redoing my blog for the past, I dunno 6 months? Anyways it always just gets pushed to the back of my priority list and I’m ok with that. However today I just got the urge to make a quick new banner for this space I call my blog.  I don’t know how I feel about it but I’m going to keep it. I feel like it may just be the whole change of it – I had the last banner for just over 1 year so I’ll give it some time to grow on me. Maybe the new banner will give me the kick I need to get the rest of this place updated.

Today i spent the day bumming around home watching the Olympics. Normally I have nothing to do with sports but the Olympics turn me into a die-hard sports fan. It doesn’t matter what sport it is I am watching it. ha. Tomorrow I will start my list of things I need to get done before the end of the week when I head back to school quite possibly intermingled with a generous amount of Olympic watching.

Tomorrow I will be back with a blog about John Mayer on Saturday night.

Ps I love you:

I may or may not have listened to this song over and over again on repeat for the past three days. It features three of my faves ever – Jeremy Larson, Stacy Dupree (of Eisley) and Darren King (of MuteMath) so its no surprise how I love it so. You can download this beauty for free right here – my life is complete.

My Funny (or punny) Valentine(s)

Edit* If you are visiting from Elsie’s blog – WELCOME!! I’m so happy you could stop by. Feel free to come back any time :) xo Jer.

I’ve never been a fan of Valentines day itself – however I have always loved giving and getting valentines cards (don’t ask me why). One of my favourite things growing up in school was decorating a paper bag each Valentines day and exchanging cards with all of my classmates. I have not however given out Valentines cards for a couple of years.

A couple of weeks ago Elsie shared a super fun Valentines DIY that inspired me to make my own Valentines for my friends this year (you can check that out here). I used her DIY as a guideline DI-myself!! Here are my fun valentines. In case you can’t tell – these are all Lady Gaga – and the message says “I’m Gaga over you!” I thought it was funny.

I haven’t really drawn for soooo long - I kind of miss it. Two things I noticed/remembered: 1- Lady Gaga wears a lot of sunglasses (which is good for me because it saves me sketching the eyes) and 2 – I’m a scribbler when I draw I have a very sketchy/messy style.

Today I am spending my V-Day cleaning the apartment and packing up my things. My parents are coming to take me home for a week (reading week). I am looking forward to a little break (as I wrote that I realized just how much work I actually have to do on the little “break” ha!). How are you spending this silly little holiday??

Ps.

Style Crush: Acid Wash

I love the look of acid wash – on but not limited to – jeans, sweatshirts etc. Ha. I think it is such a rad look.

As much as I love the look I’m not sure I could pull it off. I found the most perfect pair of acid wash jeans at the thrift store once – but they were too small. boo. I think I’ll try something not too intense – like this.Aand I really like this sweatshirt from American Apparel. [get it here]

What do you think about acid wash??

I wish. . .

I am a huge YouTube fan. Not a day passes that I don’t watch at least one video. I often wish that I had some (musical or not) friends to make sweet/funny videos with that we could post on YouTube.

Exactly like this one ( the really good part starts at 3:00 then again at 5:40):

 

Ooor this one:

 

Or maybe like these ones by one of my very favourites LA

Any takers? I’ll accept applications by email. ha! If you have any good videos please, please, please link me up. You have no idea how much it will make my life. lol But seriously, links please.
