Pretty shoes and tattoos
After months and months of sketching and careful consideration, I got two real tattoos, compared to my previous one.
It took me months to finalize my drawings for my feet; I’ve always liked the idea of tattoos on feet. In my original design I had robins, poppies, knitting needles, wool, a set square, and sweet pea along with what you see above, but my drawings were way too packed. After a lot of humming and hawing I narrowed down my drawings to a skull, a hydrangea, and an anchor {my three favorite things}. I added some scrolls to add some flow, and threw in some mentions. There’s no direct connection between the objects and my parents. Just some stories, and that one is more feminine than the other.
Since I wear tights 99.3% of the year, my tats will only come out on special occasions. But in the end, how many people can say they’ve drawn their own tattoos? Old school tattoos at that.

Thrifty things – soup mugs
I started collecting these cute soup bowls when we were living in our first apartment. I found my first two {onion and mushroom} together in a charity shop, and ever since then, I’ve been finding the odd mug all over the country. I picked up my sixth mug yesterday and I now have a nice little collection. I’m particularly intrigued with the mulligatawny recipe which includes mutton, curry, parsnip, and other interesting combinations …
