Toys! Toys! Toys Machine!

made because I  would

We were driving and talking about stuff and toy machines and my friend Jenna said, “That sounds like something you would draw.”

And then I said, “Ya… You’re right.”

Totally right.

 

I don’t actually like these things though. I always wanted something awesome from them but could never win anything. I much prefer Skeeball.You reap tickets for your efforts instead of shame.

Torturous Twosome

made at the laundromat

I did laundry last night and it was simply horrible because it always is. I did not make these super villains last night, however, because I forgot my sketchbook (making it more epically awful to be there)… Otherwise there would have been a Demonic Dryer to join forces with these two.

My Own Week with Marilyn

made one a day… a while ago.

I made these a month or two back when I was in a celebrity stick-figure kick for a few days or weeks in a row. I have quite a few on stand-by to be shared in blog form at later times. It’s not that I forgot I had them catalogued digitally on my phone, but… I forgot I had pictures of them on my phone.

My biggest goal with these was just to make some recognizable cuties and enjoy their stick features; so expect some more to come the HANZZmade way including Audrey Hepburn, Betty White and some Gleeks.

I went farthest with Ms. Monroe by making the five different looks from a few of my favorite movies of hers, with one bred from Friday the 13th imagination waves.

Some like it hot, but some like it Zombie too…

S’nothin’ wrong with a little carnage.

There Are Many Ways To Valentine

Stick figure teacher and student confirming a hug is a good giftmade for VDay

They’re constantly moving and constantly making noise, but my little class of 8-year-old boys can be wildly endearing.

This stick-figure depiction is preeeeeeeeetty much a word-for-word “conversation” I had this morning.

I replied with a big over-the-classroom-response-that-is-obviously-for-everyone-to-hear-inorder-to-teach-a-good-lesson-(and get hugs):

“Hugs are toooooootally O.K. for a present. Why… A hug is one of the best presents ever! I love hugs!”

 

 

Super cute and super-awesome hugs.

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

 

 

 

In other news… today marks the 100th day of school!

I “made” the boys plant one hundred seeds…

Happy 100!

Happy Birthday Katie!!

made on Wednesday and  enjoyed on Friday for a birthday today!

funfetti cake batter ice cream with sprinkles

This funfetti favorite is usually in cake form, but I couldn’t help but dare myself to try the flavor as an ice cream – especially if it meant real life birthday smiles.

Coldstone and other ice cream parlors of the like always made me think cake batter ice cream was a big secret that couldn’t be achieved easily – a mystery of sorts for the true creamers. I found out on allrecipes that there’s really no secret at all… Though I did bump up the game by adding funfetti cake chunks – yums.

Happy birthday Katie!

And Lincoln too…
