Today's Events ....

So we started out the day on a wonderful sunny yet cold morning in the city of wind.  I had a field trip for my printmaking class down to the Art Institute of Chicago.  Morello lead us down the unusually empty Lake Shore Drive.

This was the most bad ass field trip I have EVER been on EVER!!  OK so here is the run down ..

1. The traffic was amazing ... see above pic. 
2. The weather was awesome .. I think it was 30 which is actually a treat for February in the Midwest.
3. My wonderful professor Ms. Alex Chitty got us behind the scenes at the Museum, we got to look at REAL prints from artist like Durer, Litchenstein, PICASSO (my favorite) and many others!
4. I got to spend the day with my amazing boyfriend : )
5. I bought a kick ass camera from Blick that I hope to share with you very soon.
6. I also got to sport my newly knitted Calorimetry ... see pic below.

Well that pretty much sums up my amazing day.  I am still shell shocked that I was almost nose to print with a real life Picasso, I was really that close.  The man was a bit of a prick but I gotta love him.

 

Told ya I'm a goof. 

I found a super cute hat ....

I found a super cute hat that must be made!!  I am so in love with it and I will post pics when it is up and knitting (get it?) I know I'm super corny. I will have to knit it up and pass it along to a Hello Kitty fan. Here's the link if you'd like to knit one up yourself.

Hello Kitty Hat

With the recent Hallmark Holiday that just passed I must admit that I had a wonderful time!  We went for a horse and carriage ride along Lake Michigan.  I felt like a total princess.  I am glad to have a wonderful man like him in my life. 

 

Happy Late Valentine's Everyone!!
