Hell yes.

The name's Potter. Harry Potter.

Of art and jello and cake!

Hello my friends! How are you all today? I'm very happy. :) I had a wonderful day yesterday!
My 16th birthday is on the 7th, so we had a casual party. And I had... the most incredible cake. As I've mentioned many times, I have a thing for dinosaurs. So when my parents asked me what kind of cake I wanted, I told them I wanted a dinosaur cake. With real dinosaur figurines. And... they got me one! It. Was. Beautiful. The best cake I've ever had! I don't know what the people at the store must have thought. That I was six, probably.

Okay, I know you're just dying to see it. Well, lucky for you, I took an insane amount of pictures:

RIGHT?? RIGHT???

What else has been going on? Hmmm. Well, I've been inspired by a very lovely blog  called "Sincerely, Kinsey" and as a result I have been making a lot of stitched canvas pieces. Want to see some? No? Too bad. :P

This one is inspired by Jane Eyre....

And this one is inspired by Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeroes...

Aren't they cute? I have so much fun with them. If you'd like to try your hand at it, I would definitely encourage you to do so. Check out the DIY on "Sincerely, Kinsey" to learn how!

Now there's one last thing I'd like to share with you. I went to a Mexican restaurant yesterday and I got the most incredible jello. 

At first, I thought they put a flower inside the jello, but they didn't! The flower is MADE of jello!! It's incredible! But I can't bring myself to eat it, so I'm not sure how it tastes. Ho hum. I think I'm off to eat it now. Goodbye!

Even incredible superstars like myself make mistakes. Whodda thunk?

It was pointed out to me that the link on my 30 rock post lead to an obama article... Urkk. Well, it has since been corrected. Check it out: here!

NOW, you're welcome.

Ferb and Humphrey

All my life I've been obsessed with stuffed animals. I just can't help it. Their furry little faces... Their squishy little tummies... It's sick really. I am a stuffed animal HOARDER. And even now, when I find a cute stuffed animal, I have to buy it. Go ahead: laugh at me. No, really, I understand. I laugh at myself sometimes. (My mother thinks I'm insane.)
BUT, if you happen to share my weakness, please enjoy the following post. I would like to introduce you to two of my most recent and beloved fuzzy friends.
You might not know this about me, but for the past few months I have been obsessed with The Black Keys' dinosaur mascot. Welllllll, I FINALLY GOT MY VERY OWN FUNKOSAURUS! And he's absolutely beautiful!
Meanwhile, I also got the cutest little rhinoceros the other day on a lovely trip to the zoo with my beloved Polethene Pam. And he is... so cute. SO cute. I love him. No, you don't get it. I LOVE him. <3

My two new little buddies, the dinosaur and the rhino, are called Ferb and Humphrey, respectively. And you know what? They're really getting along! Yep, they're sort of BFFs now. It's very sweet.

And now I have photographed them! Please enjoy all the sickening cuteness:

Humphrey :)

Ferb the Funkosaurus. 

Cousin of Frank. Yeah, that's right. His cousin is in The Black Keys.

Ferb and Humphrey goofing off. Silly fuzz balls. Although I suppose Ferb really has scales, doesn't he? təˈmeɪtoʊ, təˈmɑːtoʊ

That's all, folks!

I just discovered the greatest webpage in the entire universe.

If you love 30 Rock and enjoy quoting obscure conversations from the TV show.... click here and ENJOY. I've just made your life. You are very welcome.

Das mah smug face.

An exploration into the hipstamatic.

I don't know if you've ever tried it, but do you know that artsy camera app they make for the iPhone? The one that's called "Hipstamatic"? It basically makes the camera on your phone act like an old analog camera. You can mix and match different parts and it's really very cute.
As someone who adores film photography, I think the app is a very fun way to take photos when all you've got is your sad little camera phone...

So without further adoooo, here are some pictures I took with the app on a beautiful trip to the beach:

THIS IS MY DINOSAUR, FERB!!! (He'll get his own post later.)

 Why build sandcastles when you can build naked mermaids??

My gorgeous bike! :D

Mmmm, sparkly nails.

Okay, this time I really am back.

I've been feeling kind of sad lately, even though life is actually pretty good. Maybe it's because I haven't been blogging? AHA, that must be it. Well here are my goals for my return to the blogosphere:

• Post more photography
• Share more art
• Introduce you to Ferb, my DINOSAUR. That's right. I finally got one.

Okay, that's pretty much it. I think I shall now eat some delicious soup. Ooooh or make a pizza! Mmmm pizza. I'm so glad to be back!!
