Does this print look familiar? I found this picture on a DIY project on designsponge It would be fun to have stairs like this.

This is my ipod and the cozy I knit for it. Isn't it pretty. It makes me happy.

I just stumbled across amy ruppel's website today. She's an artist from Portland, Or. I first found her unique art on etsy.com. I'm such a fan!

This week has been full of little moments where I discover something so brilliantly simple that I overlook it. Sometimes I wonder why I try to make something more difficult that it has to be. I think it is part of learning.

On Monday, I learned how to recolor a repeat pattern in Illustrator.

Tuesday, I found a shortcut button in Illustrator that helped me with what I was working on. It probably saves me 2 sec. (these add up with as many times as I've been using this) YAY!

If you don't know this about me I am a big fan of new experiences, for the most part. Today I found my new favorite Starbucks. The location is in the middle of this new apartment complex in Irvine. I felt like I was in another country for about fifteen minutes, then I realized I'm still in Irvine. Maybe I was excited because it was morning and that is one of my favorite times being out because it is so quiet and peaceful. I actually wasn't craving coffee this morning but a muffin, Starbucks doesn't have the greatest muffins but I was on my way to work and this Starbucks was on the way. It had so many cozy places to sit and lots of tables, with outlets! I always check at coffee shops so I know if I can bring my computer to do work. They played really good music too, according to my standards of "quality" coffee shop music. I was impressed.

I am enjoying my "little moments" this week.
