i have been neglectful.
While I have been very domestic, I haven't been recording. So, here I go. I LOVE felt. I used to hate it. I remember getting the shivers in sunday school or at my aunt's house when we had to put the felt bible character or dogs on the yellow felt bulletin boards. ugh. But now, I love it! I love the bright colours and the fact that it doesn't fray. I also love embroidery thread. ooooo. all the colours! I get anxious just thinking about picking the colours out. So, I have been using felt to decorate and make all kinds of things: pillows, aprons, calendars, ipod cases... it is so versatile! I remembered to take pictures while I was making my felt creations, but not at the end. here are a few, mid-project. and a necklace from marthastewart.com

life is good.

I just bought ray bans. Classic, right? sarah said that they are an investment. btw, sarah, how was your visit with the rents?

okay. btw. still trying to decide about the shades. I have 90 days. Instead of black, because of my fair skin, I opted for the tortoise shell. and then bought glitter gold shoes from TOMS shoes. They are kind of hippie, so gold was my best option. how dare we look anything less than fabulous?!

my fake ray bans started flaking, leaving large pieces of black plastic all over my face. ugh.

Korean Adhesive

I've been contemplating what to do with the walls in my yellow linoleum-floored appartment for sometime now. The walls themselves are concrete, so it's difficult to hang pictures. However, I stumbled upon the answer this weekend. Wall Stickers! Koreans are GENIOUSES. I purchased two different kinds - green tiles for the kitchen area, and a flowering tree mosaic for the rest of the place. The best part? Both came with Rinestones! Yes, that's right. I bedazzled my appartment. Feast your eyes on the results!

I may be addicted. this one I made quickly because I accidently deleter my other one. I love Valentines day. Pink and red. oh ya. so this may be a little early, but who is counting?

it's christmas time in the city

Hello! It has been WAY too long. Yesterday I got to see Wicked and then Over the Rhine in LA. Although it was in the 70s, and although I was sweaty and thinking about my lack of sunscreen while walking down Hollywood Blvd, it is feeling like Christmas. I bought a whole box of red ornaments from ikea and made a small mobile. I left my pink Christmas tree at home, so this will have to do for the time being.
Erin and Sarah, I miss you girls! I hope you write about your creative endeavors soon! Erin- we still need pics of your new home and dresser with the anthropologie knobs. Much love. And Happy Advent.

ps. I also planned to make lots of Christmas cards. I only managed 6. and my mess remained on my only table/dresser for the next week. eesh.
