Happy Halloween

LA or BUST

Well tonight my great friend and artist Theresa came over for a last farewell dinner, I made her red enchiladas. I met Theresa from a fellow artist and have turned into great friends. If she reads this is probably uncomfortable, she is NOT into mushy stuff. She is off to a new life in LA and I wish her nothing but the best of luck. She is a great painter and makes me laugh when I am up in a  lift and screaming because the wind is shaking us around. If you like to see her work www.theresapfarr.com. 

Hey T LA is going to be great, great ready for printed patterns, miss ya

The Font Death

My title sounds a bit much but while working in the studio Sunday, i had installed new fonts, well low a behold that all of those fonts turned my almost brand new Mac into a tizzies. My Mac was sticking, freezing, and just acting crazy. Needless to say I did not sleep well that night, Apple support was not there to support me until Monday at 9am. So all day Monday I was on the phone with Apple and restored my computer like new. I had to reinstall all of my programs and now I have to reset all of my settings. Only one real tragic thing happen is that I lost ALL of my photos for this blog and of life here in New Mexico. Rigo just reminded me of what a learning experience this has been and move forward. So any designers or anyone who loves to play around with fonts DO NOT DOWNLOAD FONTS FROM 1001 FREE FONTS AND DON'T BUY THE PACKAGE DEAL FOR 19.95. Trust me you will regret it in the end.

Oh Monday again

Good Monday to everyone here at the Gonzalez household we are off to any early start, Rigo's idea. This week should be about the same just more hours at the museum and I have some makeup work to do on my Mac.  Yesterday while working in my studio I downloaded fonts due to the fact that I did not have much on my new Mac and I download a 10,000 package and NOW my poor baby is paying the price. My Mac is running slow but now I have to spend some time returning then to their default. Like my life is not filled with other things to do. But Say La Vivi, 

Where have I been all of my life

Hello everyone I have been away from my beloved computer for a while and don't mean to be but work was calling. First the MURAL PROJECT was taking up my time, form sun up to sun down and I had to wash it all down with grezy food and beer. My gym was calling and asking why then were you doing so much yoga and running if you are going to do that to your body. But I have so many pics for everyone to see the installtions and then the dedication. Check out the side bar slide show for MURAL PROJECT and see it all. 

Other than that I have been putting extra hours at the museum, knitting every free chance that I get and our social calander has been busy, bar-b-que, dinner party, an open house tonight. These are the times that I wish I had a CANON-supershot, but my big canon will have to do, i just dose not go with my outfits, so Rigo gets to carry it. On top of it all I got an eye infection but on my way to recovery, so stay tuned and see what happens next.

Manic Monday

Well I finished working with the magic performers and they really like the backpack. Last night we had a much needed knitting night, Kelli helped me thru a problem that I was having doing patters, so now I am ready to work on patterns. I tell you they follow me everywhere, I love it. Today is a regular Monday, work at the museum, home, cook, tonight is yoga and then I will run and then knitting. I can work on any graphic work because I am waiting for my new programs in the mail. Now that I have a Mac, I need the Mac versions of Adobe. So that just more time for knitting. Other than that here at the compound we are doing great. The weather just turned colder and we are loving it, back home this wold be consider winter.

Sunday with the Magic Performers

Okay while I was working at the museum, I was chatting with some guest and one thing lead to another and  had mention to them I went to fashion school and Susan want a backpack to fit a prop so after 5 days of prototype and fittings they are coming to pick it up today, maybe they will pose for a pic so stay tuned but if not what a great experience, I have some magic in me now...

Riog's New Painting

Rigo has been busy and now he started his 3rd painting. This is the biggest one he as done to date, it took a whole day to put together the stretchers bar, stretch the linen but it was all worth it. Now there are some pic with his prop that came in the mail, IT IS A FAKE, so not to worry anyone. I will post some pics here but get the full slide show on the right side 

He is such a bad ass with the gun and his pallet, he was just trying to scare the girl at hobby lobby to give us that dam coupon discount.....lol......

No knitting this Saturday, were having a BBQ

I am just a little dissapointed that this saturday we are not going to be knitting so I have been going to town on my own. Anyone who knows me knows that I like my sleep and need it also so it must mean something that I have been up till 2am knitting! I wish I could just stay home a knit all day but I have to bring home some bacon every now and then, hey how am I going to buy more yarn and needles. I want all the bamboo knitting needles. 

Sorry it been so long

Hello everyone, i hope things are going well for everyone. Rigo and I are doing great, just waiting for it to get cold, the weather man said Sunday so here is hoping. This week has been filed with exciting events, monday the state fair started and the whole town shut down for the parade. 

This was one of my favs, it was Charlotte's Web, they were the best. You can see the whole side slow on the side bar. We are going to the fair tonight so I will back with pics of animals and whole bunch of bad food.
