tiny hedgehog!

Sunday, November 18th, 2007

Hegehogs are apparently are the new birds in the crafting world.  There were several vendors at the Tiny Canary show that were selling hedgehog stuff.
I bought 2 ornaments (one of them must have fallen out of my bag at the show because it wasn’t there when I got home ) and a couple of hedgehog [...]

“Float” by Jennifer Davis
Last weekend we were in Indianapolis.
This weekend I am sewing robots and dinosaurs to try and sell at the garage sale next weekend and on etsy.com.
I want to catch up on the “Big Love” episodes I’ve been downloading and clean the apartment and relax and read.
I am looking forward to it. [...]

My Grandpa Bill, my mom’s dad, is in the hospital. He has been for a couple of weeks now, and I guess his kidneys are failing. My mom and all of her siblings went down to South Carolina last week to see him and it’s not looking very good. If you think of it, pray [...]

Springtime and hedgehogs.

Thursday, March 15th, 2007

We had spring for a few days in Ohio.
This includes a day of 69-degree weather, a night of thunderstorms, two rounds of Frisbee golf, lots of lomo photos, wearing a tank-top and being too hot for more than a sheet.
It’s supposed to get cold again this weekend.
I am excited for the next few months and [...]

I’m calling it “office art”.
###
I’ve had a number of good talks this week.
One over a pomegranate martini.
One over some greasy chinese.
One over a bag of animal crackers.
Humans (at least the ones I know) are alike in these ways:
We all are more fragile than others might guess.
We all are trying to do the best we can [...]

chilly willy nilly.

Tuesday, February 6th, 2007

Ohio pretty much sucks right now.
It is cold and cold is bad for my already-poor circulation.
My rings are loose on my fingers and
my toes are always numb, even now, when I have been inside a decently warm building for a good four hours.
It might even be as cold as it was when I went to Budapest [...]

a holly jolly Christmas.

“The Departure” by Isaac Bushkin.  A Christmas gift from my husband.
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas.
I’ve made a list of things I wish for you (and for me) this coming year:
+ rainbows, jackalopes, mermaids.
+ road trips and good shows (hopefully outside. on a blanket.)
+ movie moments and happy tears.
+ plenty of pizza and [...]

Artist of the week – Julian Beever

Tuesday, October 10th, 2006

Julian Beever is an English artist who’s famous for his sidewalk chalk art on the pavements of England, France, Germany, Australia and Belgium.  I’ve worked with chalk before and I know how messy it can get and how difficult it is to be precise.  It is unreal how he can transform a space.
Here are just a few [...]

Lomography. ((Twenty-two days)).

Friday, October 6th, 2006

I have found something that makes my heart swell and I really, really, really want it.
It is this camera, the Lomography Supersampler:

It’s only $34.95 on Amazon and kind of unpredictable (no viewfinder, zoom or flash) but that makes it fun, and it takes the sweetest pictures and action shots.  It has four little lenses, so it takes [...]
