4:365 I finally ordered a 1.25" button machine + supplies for <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ohrocky" target="_blank">my shop</a>! I may start adding colored backgrounds to some of them too. What do you think? I'll be listing them soon!</div>

5:365 (2) I can't believe I've already missed a day for this project! I did manage to take 2 photos on the 5th though and couldn't decide which photo to share so I'm sharing both! It's a rare thing for me to post photos of myself here, but I'd like to do it more often! My hair is GINORMOUS and I can't believe how long it's gotten. <br />

Over the next few weeks (and beyond!), I will be expanding my product line to include a variety of items! Today I'd like to introduce the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/217180842/2015-desk-calendar-oh-rocky?ref=shop_home_active_1" target="_blank">2015 Oh Rocky Desk Calendar</a>!<br />
<br />
Each calendar includes 12 sheets printed on heavy card stock and hand cut by me! I've chosen 12 of my illustrations on colorful backgrounds to feature throughout the year, and recommend displaying them on a stand, or punching a hole in the top for a thumbtack! <br />
<br />

I'm going to challenge myself to stick with the 365 project this year and I reeeeally hope I can do it. I'd love to print all of my photos out in the end and keep them in a box or book to look back on and see what I did every day of the year. My posting schedule for this project will be every Saturday. Eeeep I'm excited! Let's go!<br />
<br />
1:365 I found a new book series I need to collect! The photos in these are incredible!!!<br />

I created a 2015 Desk Calendar that will be available in my Oh Rocky shop soon! I'm so proud of them! Is it snobbish of me to gloat over my own little creations...because I've been obsessing and bragging about this thing all day! <br />

I also bought a new lens for my camera, took tons of nature photos, climbed trees, saw tons of new movies, read all of the Game of Thrones books and started a new favorite series...Outlander! I feel like 2015 is going to be a lot more eventful than 2014. I'm so ready :)Mindi85http://www.blogger.com/profile/07387173352355163214noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957882602649794076.post-71938111888540586702014-12-14T19:03:00.000-08:002014-12-14T19:03:00.074-08:00Mousy Cuteness<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="480" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/2ySe4LfeMww?rel=0&showinfo=0" width="640"></iframe><br />

I recently saw this cute little mouse at Petco and wanted to take her home so badly after watching her do this! I need to figure out a place to set up a little mouse home in my craft room...I'm thinking there may be pet mice in my near future...so stinkin' cute!!!

I used to be a member of 43things.com and loved creating and updating goals lists. After the closing of 43things I needed a new place to create and brows lists and found my50.com You're welcome to follow my progress on these goals <a href="http://www.my50.com/profile/mindi/" target="_blank">HERE</a>! Let me know if you have a similar list! I'd love to check it out! </div>

I've been a bit absent this month, and the past week and a half has been primarily due to the fact that I've been designing and planning a new side photography blog: <a href="http://hike-and-seek.blogspot.com/">Hike and Seek</a>.</div>

One of my <a href="http://ohrocky.blogspot.com/2014/11/goals-november-2014.html">November Goals</a> is to go hiking every Sunday; and since starting that up again, I've inspired myself to document my finds and my nature photography! I'm so excited about this and can't believe I didn't think of it sooner. One of the features I'm stoked about is a monthly scavenger hunt where I'll invite readers to participate and submit their findings in a Flickr group! Ahhhhh! It's going to be amazing!!!</div>

<br />
1) I started <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Outlander-Diana-Gabaldon/dp/0440212561/ref=la_B000APXMEG_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1414856830&sr=1-1" target="_blank">Outlander</a> by Diana Gabaldon in early October (I think), and have been reading it sooooo slow despite the fact that I love it. For some reason, I've just not been in the reading mood lately. I'm ready to jump back in though. I'm just past the point where the finale of the show left off, and I can't wait to read what happens next. After I finish Outlander I'm going to jump into the next book in the series: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Dragonfly-Amber-Outlander-Diana-Gabaldon/dp/0440215625/ref=la_B000APXMEG_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1414856830&sr=1-2" target="_blank">Dragonfly in Amber</a>.<br />
<br />
2) Due to a family health emergency in October, I fell way short on my illustration plans for <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ohrocky" target="_blank">my Etsy shop</a>, and now that everything is starting to fall back into place I'm excited to get back into the swing of things. If you have any suggestions on movie or TV characters you'd like to see let me know!<br />
<br />
3) Matthew and I used to go hiking every single Sunday. It was the one thing I knew I could look forward to consistently every week. For whatever reason we stopped going, but starting tomorrow we're back on it again. I'm so excited! Get ready to be bombarded by nature photos again :)<br />
<br />
4) Just like my reading habits, my blog posts have been nearly non-existent. I have a calendar full of planned posts that I just need to block out some time for. <br />
<br />
5) Matthew and I are making a healthy lifestyle change together and I can't tell you how excited I am about it. Back in February (ouch!!!) I posted about my <a href="http://ohrocky.blogspot.com/2014/02/my-6-month-weight-loss-plan.html" target="_blank">weight loss plan</a> and not only did I not commit to it, I gained 10 more pounds! Despite my solid planning and good intentions, I just gave up on it. Now that Matthew is committed to making a lifestyle change as well, it's going to be a lot easier to stick to. It's so difficult to stay with something like this if you're doing it alone. Now we can exercise together and make dinner together more often which will be fun :) I've got a running schedule set up as well as a daily workout plan that I'll share sometime soon. My weight loss goal for November is to lose 7-8 pounds. <br />

I've moved <a href="http://ohrocky.blogspot.com/2014/09/narbc-2014-popcorn.html" target="">Popcorn</a> out of her initial setup and into a little terrarium under one of my movie shelves! She's become much more active and has been eating really well. I love having one of my favorite <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/parlortattooprints" target="_blank">Quyen Dinh prints</a> sitting behind the terrarium. If you haven't noticed...I really love pastels :)<br />

After launching my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ohrocky" target="_blank">Etsy shop</a> last Saturday, I've been having so much fun packaging orders and sending them out! In addition to making my first sales, I added a new <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/207621080/star-trek-live-long-and-prosper-225-inch?ref=shop_home_active_1" target="_blank">Star Trek</a> design and decided to offer custom and bulk ordering options!<br />

I baked up these delicious Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies and had entirely too much fun packaging them up for the bake sale we're having at work this week. I'd be fibbing if I said I didn't want to just eat them all myself with a giant glass of ice cold milk right after they came out of the oven. I was a self control ninja though, and only had a couple ;)<br />

Today's recommendation is for a really great film titled <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1706620/?ref_=nv_sr_1" target="_blank">Snowpiercer</a>. I will admit that before I watched it, I knew absolutely nothing about it other than the fact that I hoped it would be better than the name. For some reason, the title was really silly sounding to me. Boy am I glad I didn't judge the movie by the title. It's excellent!<br />

The colors, cinematography, and plot. I'm gonna repeat myself and say that not only was I skeptical that this film was going be any good after reading the title, but after reading the synopsis...I was almost sure that it was too outrageous to pull off. You've basically got an apocalyptic dystopian society on a never ending train ride from hell where the leader has taken it upon him/herself to separate it's passengers into a caste system and things get BAD. Really really bad. </span><br />

I was so nervous to hit that button and publish my shop, but it's super exciting to finally see all of my designs together in one place. I'll be working on adding new designs regularly, and introducing additional products (prints, jewelry, etc.) over time. Let me know if there are any characters or designs you'd like to see in the future!<br />

Matthew and I went to see Tusk on Monday, and oh my gosh...dude...this movie is so fucking funny!!! It's definitely super creepy, but I wasn't expecting it to be so funny! I can't wait to buy it on Blu-ray when it's released! I couldn't help myself, and did an illustration with one of my favorite quotes from the movie. </div>

Alright, so yesterday was one of those super-fantastic days that had it rained would have been perfect. <br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>I got to sleep in.</li>
<li>I had a Peanut Butter smoothie (aka Nectar of the Gods...seriously) from Smoothie King for Breakfast. I've never tried anything else from Smoothie King because I just can't pass this one up when I go in there.</li>
<li>Matthew and I went to the <a href="http://narbc.com/index.html" target="_blank">NARBC</a> show (North American Reptile Breeder's Conference). The <a href="http://narbc.com/index.html" target="_blank">NARBC</a> is the "big show" in Texas that comes around twice a year on a Saturday and Sunday in Arlington. There's a <a href="http://lonestarreptileexpos.com/" target="_blank">smaller one</a> ( that comes around every couple of months that we're going to this coming Saturday (October 4th). I debated and debated on taking my DSLR to the <a href="http://narbc.com/index.html" target="_blank">NARBC</a> show, but knowing that it was going to be packed and that I was looking to get something, I decided that I'd take it to the smaller show in October instead. As you can see from the photo above, I came home with the prettiest little Albino Ball Python! Her name is Popcorn and I. Am. In. Love!!! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw3cTTtwaoqSSBnbIlI2qscOyhBFl7FIQX4cOxTsFZqufbN4DfFvbGyS8Jx33HwZI9zSW_tUh2PHk1rJ6l8CWC00gt4Pj7al4vEdT9vnz_GSmIhHqGJX33EGATQmSVb7QUnFs2TOM2wFDB/s1600/photo+2+(3).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw3cTTtwaoqSSBnbIlI2qscOyhBFl7FIQX4cOxTsFZqufbN4DfFvbGyS8Jx33HwZI9zSW_tUh2PHk1rJ6l8CWC00gt4Pj7al4vEdT9vnz_GSmIhHqGJX33EGATQmSVb7QUnFs2TOM2wFDB/s1600/photo+2+(3).JPG" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
</li>
<li>We had lunch at Hooter's and I had their Buffalo Chicken Sandwich. That thing is amazing. Seriously, I would kill for that thing.</li>
<li>I came home and set Popcorn up in her new home, and gloated over how pretty she is. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
</li>
<li>I took a much needed nap. It's amazing how lots of excitement will wear you out and make you sleepy. I never take naps, but I was pooped.</li>
<li>I woke up in time to catch the mid-season finale of <a href="http://www.starz.com/originals/outlander?gclid=CjwKEAjw456hBRDQ4eqg8MzA2W0SJABI2gJ8QtAhYDASLzzlSwqElRzuzD4sLbTlaqjTx6XLp6Fn5hoCGfjw_wcB" target="_blank">Outlander</a>. It's quickly become one of my new favorites, and I ordered the hardback of book one after the episode. I have a feeling that I'm going to tear through those books and finish the entire series in no time!</li>

I've been turning them all into magnets, and I love seeing the collection as it grows on my fridge :) I'm super excited that I've finally discovered a medium and a style that I love to work with: Watercolors!!! Not only have I been testing them all out on magnets, but I've uploaded all of my designs to my <a href="http://society6.com/ohrocky" target="_blank">Society6 Shop</a> which you may have seen on my sidebar :) Some of my favorite items from there so far include:<br />

The caterpillar a couple of photos up was dangling from the temperature gauge and over the course of an hour or so he had set himself up in a cocoon! I didn't have the patience to sit and watch from start to finish, but it was neat going out there every now and then to check the progress. So neat!Mindi85http://www.blogger.com/profile/07387173352355163214noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957882602649794076.post-61563687066649545352014-09-08T04:27:00.000-07:002014-09-08T04:27:56.690-07:00Man Crush Monday // Chris Pratt<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Okay, so <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0695435/?ref_=nv_sr_1" target="_blank">Chris Pratt</a> is quite possibly the most adorable dude on the planet right now. I mean seriously, I'm not sure I could find anyone more suitable to start off this Man Crush Monday feature than this guy.</div>

If you've never seen Parks and Rec, which is what I first saw him in, here's one of my favorite clips of him as Andy Dwyer:</div>

And if you haven't seen <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2015381/?ref_=nv_sr_1" target="_blank">Guardians of the Galaxy</a> yet, I think you should see it as soon as f*cking possible :) Aside from Chris Pratt, this film has a crazy string of totally awesome lines. From Jackson Pollock references to "Pelvic Sorcery" to "Don't ever call me a thesaurus"...this movie really does have fantastic quotes. </div>

On a recent trip to Target, Matthew was kind enough to snag this bad-ass Star-Lord doll for me and I love that it repeats sooooo many lines from the movie. <br />

I'm so excited you guys! I'm launching my shop in October! I've been working on new designs and illustrations lately and have finally found my niche! Over the past year or so, I've gone through all of these internal battles with myself over opening my Etsy shop. I seem to always have some sort of excuse for delaying the launch. Sometimes I feel like what I'm creating isn't original or artsy enough and other times I tell myself that I don't have a wide enough range of products or not enough products at all.<br />
<br />
I'm going to just throw all of those excuses to the side though, say fuck it, and just do it. I'm setting my launch date to <b>October 11th</b> because it's the first Saturday in October that I'll be off work, and I know I won't be able to concentrate at work if I'm constantly wondering how my launch is going. I'm not going to obsess anymore over how many designs I open with or anything else like that. Whatever I have ready by October 11th is what I'll open with. I'll always be adding new items so that's fine :)<br />
<br />
I recently purchased a set of Concentrated Watercolors and everything else I needed to start watercolor painting, and I have fallen head over heels in love with it!!! I've decided that all of my products will originate from my tattoo style watercolor paintings of Pop Culture favorites, quotes, and trends.<br />

"Pretty Bird" was my very first Watercolor Painting and I love the way it turned out. In case you didn't catch it, it's from Dumb & Dumber :) The "Forever and Ever" one is my favorite! The Shining is at the top of the list of my favorite Horror films, and since I'm launching in October, I thought it would be perfect to start a series of Horror genre illustrations! </div>

I've been doing a bit of work to my room and so far I've gotten 2 walls painted, my desk moved to the corner I want it in, and the first of my movie shelves put up! It's impossible to tell what color I've chosen for my walls in these photos, after editing them for <a href="http://instagram.com/_ohrocky_" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, but they're a really pretty eggshell blue. I'll post real photos once everything is complete!<br />

I'm going to have to start digging out all of my movie related toys and such to help decorate the edges of these shelves! I love my vintage little ET toy :) I had no idea how many movies I'd be able to set up on these shelves, but once I got these up it kinda put it into perspective for me. I've got them all stored in about 6 crates and this was only one and a half crates worth! Once I paint one of the empty walls I'm going to line the center with these shelves, but double the length. I can't wait to get everything put up! I've finally gotten my record player out and can't wait to paint this little table I've got it on. I'm not sure what color I'm going to go with yet, but it's starting to feel like me. This <a href="http://amzn.to/Wxgxyv" target="_blank">Wildewoman record by Lucius</a> has become one of my favorites. If you haven't heard them before, give them a listen! <br />

If I had known a year ago that Monty Python would be doing a live performance in London, I would have seriously saved all the money I could to buy tickets and fly out there to see the show. Watching it live from a local theater was the next best thing though, and it was such a great show! It was sad knowing it was their last performance as a group...like saying goodbye, but I'm so happy I was able to be part of the experience! <br />

Is this not the most amazing Oak Tree you've ever seen? I couldn't fit the entire tree in the shot with the lens I was using so this photo really does it no justice at all, you HAVE to see this tree in person. Just a few quick stats to put in into perspective:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>It's thought to be one of the largest in the nation.</li>
<li>The trunk circumference measures 34 feet & 1.75 inches!</li>
<li>The average trunk diameter is 11 feet & 2.25 inches!</li>
<li>It's 44 feet tall</li>
<li>It's over 1,000 years old!<b> </b></li>
</ul>

I hadn't climbed a tree in a few years and there are "no climbing" signs posted and a fence placed around Big Tree, so I climbed one of the other ones instead. I am now convinced that this should be a regular occurrence. I miss climbing trees!!! That was like...my thing when I was a kid! Oh, and I had my first pedicure in over 8 years!

Today's post comes from a link-up on <a href="http://www.delightfully-tacky.com/2014/07/whats-keeping-you-from-achieving-your.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+DelightfullyTacky+%28Delightfully+Tacky%29" target="_blank">Elizabeth's blog</a>, and once I read what she had to say, I felt inspired to share my take on it!<br />
<br />
So what IS keeping me from achieving my goals? I'll give you three answers actually: Money, Procrastination, and Insecurity. <br />
<br />
Money. This part honestly should NOT be on this list of things that's keeping from reaching my goals. My day job leaves me with more than enough money to support my hobbies and interests and funding my goal of opening my etsy shop. So why is this on the list? I'm terrible with money. It seems like I've always lived paycheck to paycheck. If I have money left over after the bills are paid, instead of saving it like I know I should, I hop on over to Amazon and order something (or many somethings!)...then I wind up with next to nothing before I get paid again..wondering how that much money emptied out of my account so fast. I realize that this is a part of my life that is going to have to change if I ever expect to someday work for myself. I need to learn to live with less. I often use Parks & Rec as an excuse and am always telling myself to "Treat Yo Self!", but I end up over treating myself and it gets out of hand. I've sat down the other day and went over my bank statements for the last 6 months and was blown away by how much of my paychecks went to online orders and fast food. Gross! Of the many lifestyle changes that I feel I need to make, this is one of the big ones.<br />
<br />
Procrastination. This is probably the largest flaw that I see in myself. I am a procrastinator. The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem right? I'll say it again. I am a procrastinator. I always have been, and it's gotten me...well...not very far. I moved into this house in April, and I literally just now got around to unpacking boxes that are in my craft room/office. Seriously! That's what I spent Sunday doing. It felt great to get it done, but it took me forever and a day to finally tell myself to get off my ass and do it. Now I have half my room painted and things are starting to look a lot prettier in here! If I stopped procrastinating and started doing...I would have reached 99.9% of my goals years ago. <br />
<br />
Insecurity. Uh oh. Not that ugly word! Over the past 5 years I've packed on about 50 pounds and it has really done a number on my confidence. I've always been a very shy person, and it's sometimes come off to others as insecure. I've never felt the way I feel now after gaining so much weight though. I haven't worn a swimsuit in years. My clothes are continuously getting smaller and smaller. I have less and less energy and have started noticing stretch marks in places I never ever in a million years thought I'd have them! I've gone from wearing a size 6 to a size 12. I hate going shopping. I hate being in any sort of social situation where I have to see someone I haven't seen in a long time. And I never share photos of myself on my blog. I've always wanted to do outfit photos, because I love dressing up and putting together cute outfits, but I always put it off because I don't feel confident in my body. I don't feel like ME anymore, and I hate that. Not only do I feel this way about my body, but I feel this way about a lot of things. I'm always comparing my projects to that of people who have inspired me. I finish something and get excited about accomplishing or creating something, and then I compare it to something someone else has done. I know I need to stop doing that and just be proud of myself for creating something.<br />
<br />
I want to be successful. I want to be confident. And I want to reach my goals. There are obviously things that are standing in my way of reaching one goal or another, but nothing is permanent and there is always room for change. Writing this post has helped clear my mind and I should probably share more of these types of posts regularly. <br />

I'm a big fan of visiting state parks and wildlife refuges, so of course we went to visit a few while we were in Rockport! One of the places we visited was the <a href="http://www.fws.gov/refuge/aransas/" target="_blank">Aransas National Wildlife Refuge</a>. We got to see quite a few deer, a snake that I wasn't fast enough to catch, and a coyote with a couple of pups! I was so disappointed that I couldn't get my camera out fast enough to snap a photo before they darted into the tree line, but it was awesome getting to see them anyway! I did get plenty of shots of different insects we saw while on the trail, and decided to share these:</div>

</div>
One of my <a href="http://ohrocky.blogspot.com/2014/07/goals-july-2014.html" target="_blank">July goals</a> is to come up with at least 25 new illustrations to build my inventory for Oh Rocky. I still have a ginormous list of other things I still need to do aside from illusrations including: designing and ordering business cards, filing for a DBA, and opening a business checking account. Until I get everything in order for my Etsy shop, I decided I'd go ahead and make my illustrations available on Society6! Each time I design something new I'll add it to Society6, so check it often! I'm currently on a Princess Bride kick so expect to see at least 3 more very soon! I've added a link that I'll keep at the bottom of my sidebar, so head over and check it out when you can!<br />
