First!  My French 60s/70s pop radio show is tonight, live at 7 pm CST and it can be listened to locally at 91.7 fm or streamed online at wsum.org!  C'est une émission très cool!

So far today, I woke up early this morning to drive Adam to his, well, drop-off point for his 10 day Wyoming bug collecting extravaganza.  After an hour more of rest I trudged to my new volunteer position at a language acquisition lab which is about a 45 minute walk along the lake shore which I really enjoy.  Anyway, at the docks where they keep the sail boats I heard the tiniest little piping / quacking ever and with my camera in my pocket I took some family portraits.

My internet is being a rump, so real quick, here's a sneak peek of one of my new crafts that I've been perfecting and getting ready for the Craftacular, as well as the shop, very soon.  So, here you go, little sweetie book plates!

This is the pile of parts currently competing with my computer for desk-top space.

Today is another birthday -- 21 years old.  Plans include eating at Gotham Bagels, going to the Dig + Save, AND the summer premier of my French 60s/70s pop radio show called Zut Alors on WSUM here in Madison which can be LIVE STREAMED tonight at 7 - 8 pm CST or locally listened to at 91.7 fm.

As you can see the dolls are pretty much complete they just need to be pieced together so they'll be around soon, sorry I've been busier than I thought I would be...  but a lot of ideas have been popping up, like window boxes and pouches and the like.

Happy birthday.

Hello!

Unfortunately my lack of posts is consistent with the lack of aesthetically pleasing things happening in my life the past few days...

I've kind of fallen into the mind-numbing loop that is school, apparently even in France it can turn me into a zombie and my days into simply pages in my planner.

My internship at Radio FM+ has been really amazing lately though.  I've been doing a lot of "technique" or technical things, and even did the boards for the live music show on Tuesday morning which was great.  Hopefully they get a livestream up while I'm here so people (who are interested) can listen to my 100% in French show that airs twice a week here locally!

As you can see it was beautiful today!  This is a shot of the esplanade downtown which is notorious amongst my friends for being a wonderful place to people watch.... and snipe photos of sweet little French ladies :

Sometimes it's almost too much...
