Ok talk about peas first and boring other stuff later. This is my I hate peas idea inspired of course by Isabelle. Poor little pea, just wants to be loved. Photoshopped it on her to see how it would look because to make an actual onesie…whoo wee…NO not right now.
And here’s the softie.
I am thinking I want to make this pea 3D, an actual ball. Must research and figure out how to make ball when I can think straight.
Ok on to the boring. You are forewarned.
I’m a homebody usually. And we’ve been out everyday since Saturday. So I’m wearing thin here. My eyes have been so tired. It’s just busy busy busy. See:
Saturday: graduation and dinner with my side of the family.
Sunday: Berkeley to the Vivarium and Dick Blick around the corner where I bought a small silkscreen kit. Then seeing Alan’s side of the family.
Monday: It was a holiday and we went shoe shopping for Alan. Not me. Imagine that. Shoe shopping NOT for me. Not that I do a lot of shoe shopping. But I must have been too tired to realize I could have looked for shoes too. Just dawned on me right this moment.
Tuesday: Isabelle’s 9 month doctor appointment (even though she isn’t 9 months old yet). She now weighs 21 pounds 4 ounces. I swore she’d gotten over 22 pounds but nope. Meant to go to post office but so tired, took a 3 hour nap! I am so sorry Isa. The package did not go out! 
I suck!
Wednesday: dentist appointment with a dentist who is 45 minutes away from home because damn it he’s that good and worth the drive. Appointment involving shots and numbing of mouth and scary drill sounding implements (don’t know what they were since my eyes were closed) Must floss more. Then off to Orchards to buy some supplies for the silkscreening. Driving home realized it’s 6pm and post office is closed. DAMN!! I suck some more!! Got home and made pea softie.
And somewhere in there I managed to knit my tangly mess and research silkscreen vs iron ons and what shirts to get etc, etc, etc. Apparently with a heat press, commercial transfer paper, and Durabrite ink, iron ons are as durable as silkscreen.
So anyhoo today: must clean house which is a wreck. AND GO TO POST OFFICE!

I think turning this sad pea into a real ‘ball’ shape is an excellent idea! Maybe different sized ones? These softies are so cute!

It’s a shame that I like peas, because I adore the Sad Pea. I’d like to give him a big hug.
