The bed is off the floor!

I have kind of gotten off the subject lately, but we are working on sustainability in every aspect of our life. Not just the big picture, as in cutting down on green house gasses, slowing global warming, eating less meat, having a green business plan ...... etc, but also in this:

How much longer can an old girl like me keep getting up off the floor, is this really sustainable?



So you can imagine my happiness now, my bed is now like this:







I want to paint........Won't have time until December, waaaahhhhh

Inkstrand - Etsy Awesome Seller!

What an interesting lady she is - just looking over her profile fascinates me. I love it when you get a glimpse into a person's brain this way! In her profile she mentions a hand full of tidbits: "inkstrand as an outlet and excuse for my excess craft skills, fabric hoarding and the plethora of ideas that often find their way into my head. I've always been fond of history, sci-fi/fantasy novels, Victoriana/Steampunk, video games and retro fashion, so it seems fitting to take all that nostalgic nerdiness and infuse it into my work." I love this! A fabric hoarder! Sisters unite!

Take a look at what she has to offer:



What a great mix of industrial vintage nostalgia. Here is the link: http://www.etsy.com/listing/53150486/vintage-inspired-light-bulb-illustration
