Shirt Woot Derby – It’s A Double Entry Week!

hellomynameis-580comp

This week’s Derby topic is “Dog Days,” and I was able to complete two in a short amount of time (The first one took 2 hours, and the second one took 4 hours- a definite improvement in speed). The first entry, “Hello My Name Is,”  was something I’d been thinking about drawing for a few [...]

Today we went to Düsseldorf to see an exhibit on Shipping Container Architecture. The exhibit was…”meh,” but Düsseldorf? A-FREAKING-DORABLE. I mean, seriously, LOOK at this place: The scale of the buildings is significantly smaller than those in Köln, and there is much more tiny detail. It didn’t hurt any that today was one of the [...]

In Our ‘Hood

One of the garden lanes.

Chief Dork did a great job finding us an apartment from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. I was fearful at first, because we had a tiny snag or two getting the contract worked out via email, but once we arrived, everything turned out fine. My nesting instinct has taken over, and I keep [...]

Movin’ On Up…Four Flights Of Stairs

I *swear* I didn't buy this- it belongs to the apartment's permanent tenants!

Before we checked out of the hotel at noon, we visited the Schokoladen Museum. This was, unfortunately, where I procured my first bad beer since we arrived. It was a “chocolate beer,” and I thought “might be similar to a porter.” Blech. It just tasted…bad. I should have known! We did, however, leave with an [...]
