Finally

We are in our new apartment! I really like it. It feels so much more better than the other one. Our view is better, and we don't have an annoying down stairs neighbor!!!!! I really want to buy some more furniture for my place. Especially for my room. For some reason it looks empty. Today we are going to Ft. Worth to visit some friends! I'm really excited to see them. It's been a while since we last hung out with them. Ari is officially 8 months today! He's my big boy....he's growing up so fast. OK I'm totally going to be a mom now, and brag! He's crawling, he can pick himself up (when he grabs on to something), and he can now feed himself little snacks! It's just so cute to see him learn new things everyday! I'm so proud!

Moving time

We are moving again! This time we will be living on the first floor. It's going to be much better because we won't have to deal with our anal downstairs neighbor. This person likes to bang on her ceiling for no good reason. She acts like we are tap dancing in here. We'll see how it goes in our new apt!

The only thing that is a pain in the butt is having to pack everything. Ugh! Oh well it's for the better. This last weekend we went to family party. I had so much fun. I'm hoping this weekend will be a good one too. Now that Daniel is back at work my weekdays have been kind of boring. Thank goodness I have my cousin Erica! She saves the day! Glad to have a great Family.

Summer

So far this summer has been great! I have had so much fun just relaxing by the pool, hanging out with family, and spending time with my little one. Also i have been enjoying Dailys margaritas. They are so good and addicting. Good thing they only have 5% alcohol...lol. Anyway tonight I'm going out with my friends. We are going out celebrate Syl's birthday. I know her birthday is tomorrow but....HAPPY BIRTHDAY SYL!!!!

Going to Austin

Daniel was telling me that we are going to Austin. He has some art up at a gallery in Austin, so we are going to the closing reception. Then we are going to bring that artwork back home. I'm excited to go out there because I always have a blast when I do. We are going to take Ari along with us. He does pretty well in the car seat as long as I entertain him. Now all we need to do is save up some money! Gas is expensive!

Studio time!

I really need to go to the studio! I have some new ideas for some paintings and soft sculptures. Hopefully I get to go this weekend. It's just so hot inside. You literally have to wear some cool comfortable clothing. I had a kids art workshop in July, and it was so hot. I thought it wasn't going to be that bad, but it was really hot. I want to have another one when the temperature starts cooling off. It was so much fun and the kids liked it so much. They didn't even care about the heat. Today will be another hot day so stay cool everyone!

Work for Sale!

I need to sell some art work to make space for new paintings. If anyone is interested let me know, I will give you a great price! You can check out some of my other paintings at www.emilydonjuan.com. Email me at emidonjuan@aol.com

In other news this weekend I had my family come over to swim. It was so much fun. We ate hotdogs and did a little swimming. I'm so glad they came over. The art show on Friday was a success. I'll post some pictures later. We all had a great time...it was a little hot in the building, but other than that it was awesome!

Crafts

I've been thinking about how much I love to do crafts. Yesterday I made some small soft pillows. I couldn't finish the second one because I ran out of stuffing. I used it all for the big soft sculpture I have at the Wonder Years show. I need to buy some more so that I can make some new pillows. I want to set up an account with Etsy the craft website. My husband wants to start one up with me so that we can sell some of our work on the website! I think it would be a pretty cool way for us to get our work out there for everyone to see and purchase!
