Good morning! A quick little post for you today, as it is cleaning day, and I am slow to get started. I made this cute bag as an early Christmas present for my friend Sarah. It was pretty easy, and she really liked it – double happiness! Though, I must admit, I was at an advantage with the fabric because she bought it in Japan, as a gift for me, several years ago. The pattern, and a much more refined looking version of the bag can be found here. Sew away!
Hello Everyone! Hello Jimmy!
Welcome to the the final week of my campaign to be a guest on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. I hope you enjoy the video.
Also, if you are so inclined, and I certainly hope that you are – lend me your support! Leave a comment here on the blog, send Jimmy a Tweet (@jimmyfallon), or leave him a message on the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon Facebook page stating my guest worthiness. I’d sure appreciate it!
Oh, and please, please, please vote in your local elections. Our voices, in no small part, are what make this democracy great!

Hello Jimmy, friends, and neighbors –
I hope you’re having a lovely day and are keeping warmer than I am. It’s downright chilly in Portland. And drat to the elephant in the room. Making this week’s installment of my campaign to be a guest on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon was more arduous than expected, complete with a small artistic meltdown (What am I doing?) and multiple upload failures (Aw snap!). Whew! Glad that’s over. My apologies for the long delay.
As for the content, I celebrate the crazy vault of song lyrics located in my head without exposing your delicate senses to my untrained voice. Maybe music lessons are in my future. What say you, crystal ball? After my appearance on Jimmy Fallon? Hot damn! Anyhoo, the watercolors, just in case you’re wondering, save the aeroplane (a favorite rubber stamp), are all mine. Not bad for a beginner, if I do say so myself.
Enjoy!

Good Morning Everyone –
Watercolor J.F. here (and looking pretty good I must say, albeit a might pale) with a message from my maker. Due to technical difficulties, Week Three of Colleen’s Campaign to be a guest on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon will be delayed. Tune in tomorrow. Same bat-time! Same bat-station!
Hello Everyone! Hello Jimmy!
Welcome to the second installment of my campaign to be a guest on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, further showcasing my talents and interests. Have I also mentioned that I am house trained and eat very little? You’ll notice the improved video quality (the sound actually matches my mouth!), though Milo the cat is ever determined to have his voice heard. It is election season, after all, and just so you know, I am by no means shirking my civic duty with this campaign. Voting is important! The only disappointing bit is that my scan of the painting I made turned out uber-creepy (watch the video if you don’t know what I’m talking about) and not at all blog worthy. Sigh. Hopefully I can remedy this before next week.
Be Well –
Colleen
