I am still taking outfit photos, and I am still planning on updating this blog, as I go, this is just a formal announcement that it’s going to be patchy for awhile.

This weekend I took a day off from work and was carted off to the beach my two of my favourite customers and their lovely dog, Max, who I house-sat for a few weeks this summer.

The Oregon Coast is sunny, warm and bright for about three days every summer. The rest of the year it cold, blustery, rainy and wet. Which really is how the beach is supposed to be! The Pacific ocean is freezing and the sand is puddley and the wind blows you about like a leaf.

It was a relief to take a day to just be–my weeks have turned into a frantic run-around of getting things done and What Project Is Next, which really is hard to enjoy.

I took a collective breath of fresh air and am knuckling back down to it. I’ll still be around, posting, but I do feel the need to announce: The Lemon Life is a bit crazy at the moment.

I’m making lemonade, just a bit slower than I have been this summer.

And to everyone else, thanks for entering! Glad to (maybe) introduce you to a new company.

I’ll see you again next week, after returning from my epiiiiiiic summmerrrrrrrr vacationnnnnnnnnnnnn!

Sorry it took me so long to acknowledge y’all, there really is no excuse. In penance, I promise to write 1,000 lines of “I will never forget to blog again” in purple ink on banana-scented stationary.

Since the link from Daddy Likey mentions my ability to spill things on myself IN ADDITION TO the fact that I’m apparently good at accessorizing around my coffeejob uniform, I was wondering if ya’ll would be interested in seeing what I wear around my boring uniform that consists of black pants, black shirts, white shirts, and fugly grandma khaki pants?

Heaven knows I need more excuses to take photographs of myself.

So, what do you think? Blogging around a uniform is a go? I think that will just evolve into what was previously known as “my style”, with special editions of “OMG look what I got at goodwill!”.

It is my blog, I’m just hoping some of you are interested in my new idea, and not bored to death by antique posts.

This turned into my Uncle Bob holding the lamp and being my general “best boy”, helping me come up with ideas and lighting effects and such. Neither of us are super photo geniuses, but they turned out good! And it was crazy fun.

I totally look drunk here. Actually wait, yeah, two glasses of wine. It’ll do it.

This is my ‘BETTER THAN YOU’ face. Don’t you feel… less cool than me?!

The one I like best. After being seriously photoshopped. I don’t know. I like it.

What do you think?

I would like to reccommend taking photographs of fruit as a wacky mood lifter. At one point I had four assistants helping me photograph that lemon. My Dad walked in, saw us crowded around the piece of fruit, all holding various lamps and leaning in closely, blinked a few times, and walked out, muttering something that sounded like, “never understand you people….”. Hee!

Also I found a vintage lemon yellow Mercedes Benz for sale in my neighborhood today. You bet I’m going to take pictures of it. And do my best to get my Dad to buy it for me. Even though I don’t drive.

I am so very sorry, as I really enjoyed them and the links that you sent me.

I’m working on getting that fixed. In the meantime, please change your bookmarks to http://www.lemonlove.forgedpixels.com, and watch the old URL (http://www.inkytwist.forgedpixels.com) for an updated artists portfolio, which was what inkytwist has always been for, anyways!

This week these two websites will be in a state of minor construction. After the fiasco and four-hour extraganza that occurred tonight,  ther won’t be any major changes, but there will be some (getting rid of a few of my portfolio pages on here, and rehashing the links page and About page, etc.) It’s going to be awesome!

Peace!
